Located just off of RT31 in Flemington, Viva Mexico is a great local eatery with authentic Mexican cuisine. We visited on April 21st. We started with the nachos (with beef added), which were some of the best we've ever had. High quality meat and fresh ingredients really make a difference. We had the beef chimichanga for dinner, which was also... More

If you have not tried this restaurant you are definitey missing some really great food. The salsa is home made and delicious. It is hot, delicious and addictive. We call a day in advance to request rice with no butter because we do not eat dairy. They are very accommodating. The highlight of this restaurant is their vegetables. We have... More

Simple family owned-operated place with good food and reasoanble prices. Menu offers a narrow selection of basics but the daily specials offer some uniqueness. BYOB. More

First time to this place and it seemed good. We arrived before they opened but they gave us a table, drinks and torilla chips/salsa so we could comfortably wait for the kitchen to open. Meals were fairly priced and the guac was one of the best I have ever had. The building needs a little work and the menu needs... More

Almost every time I go to this restaurant, I order the combination plate. Their mole sauce is excellent. They serve fresh, warm, homemade tortilla chips along with fresh salsa. Their tortilla soup is really delicious. A couple years ago over spring break when I was at home for two weeks, I ordered takeout for lunch every day for a week... More

The is authentic Mexican, not your americanized, over cheesed, mass produced, chain "crap on the wall" restaurant food. The make the best Tamales outside of California or Texas. And the Shimp dish is to die for! We have eaten at Viva Mexico for as long as it has been open and have never been disappointed with the food. Great Food,... More

Have eaten at Viva Mexico for many years, and always think how lucky Flemington is to have such a quality Mexican restaurant. The home-made chips and pico de gallo are so special that I have taken them out to serve guests at home. The salads are excellent, especially the jicama one. The main courses, which usually include specials, are so... More

I went to VM for the first time this evening. I was seated quickly and a "bowl" chips and salsa were brought out. The chips were standard but the salsa was excellent. Unfortunately if I wanted more there is a $4.50 charge for that. I ordered the Tampiquena with the steak medium rare. The steak was great and cooked perfectly.... More
