Me and my father decided to detour Newtown this weekend and visit @vivamexiconz 🇲🇽🌯🌮. This eatery has been one of our family favourites and a go-to place for authentic Mexican food or cocktails since 2016.
Guacamole and Chips 🥑 $15
The guacamole had a good texture and well seasoned. You could taste the salt🧂, avocado, and spice 🌶 from the black sauce + tabasco sauce. Chips were warm and had a good crunch when biting into it. Great starter and portion size for the price that you pay.
Enchiladas Suiza Chicken 🍗 $25
Chicken enchiladas had good taste and a generous filling of well-cooked, shredded chicken. Pickled onions 🧅 give a mild, tangy flavour and went well with the hint of spice from the green chilli salsa. Maybe a small serving of rice 🍚 + a bit more seasoning on the beans could be nice. But overall, it was worth the money and it was very filling.
Pie de Limon 🍋🥧 $6
A fantastic way to end our hearty meal. The sweetness from the meringue and berry gave just enough balance to got with the sour/zingy taste that I got from the lemon filling in the pie/tart. Good touch with the whipped cream to make the tart less dry. Neatly presented👌on the plate to make the dessert appealing and great for sharing between two people.
Final Words
Me and my father loved our meal and could not find any major faults 👍🏽. Great food, friendly/timely service, and good value for money. The interior was lively, brightly coloured with different artwork 🖼 or knick-knacks to give the eatery a theme that we can easily identify. If we ever have to take friends/family members for a good time, Viva Mexico will be one of our top choices. Hope you liked the food review and please check our snaps from previous visits.
