Reviews
Don't settle for burritos; at Viva Mexico on Cuba St.'s Left Bank, you can take your pick from an array of authentic Mexican dishes, including staples like tacos and enchiladas, and more adventurous choices like the sopa de tortilla or "exoticos" (wet tacos). Like most Mexican restaurants, finding vegetarian options is thankfully not a problem; alongside a variety of meat fillings, there are always vege, cheese, and bean options on hand. Don't worry if you're unsure about an item-- their new menus break down every aspect of the dish, eliminating any unpleasant surprises. A huge selling factor for me is their plentiful stock of Jarritos, an intensely sweet Mexican soda, in a variety of flavors-- try Mandarin (Mandarina) with your taco and ensalada.
There are a few Mexican eateries in Wellington but I frequent Viva Mexico the most. Tucked away down the end of Left Bank, the food is delicious and decently priced. Their beef quesadilla is my favourite thing for dinner, and if I'm there for breakfast the huevos rancheros will show you what a simple but well put-together dish can do. A vibrant and welcoming place.
Viva Mexico is the second to last place on the left down Left bank off Cuba mall. Run by a group of tough-looking Mexicans, they make totally traditional Mexican meals, most sitting well under $20. They have a few beers on the menu – the best are Mexican, and they make classic Mole with chocolate and beans. Delicious. Go and take friends
