Laviemex is serving up the viral drink of the Summer: frozen soft serve Margaritas! They are both delish and stunning. They were strong but you can also get an extra shot with it! The Mexican food was also fantastic with beautiful presentation. Ask for Jalapeño - he's so nice! All the staff was friendly and welcoming. We even packed up food for the kids. Enjoy! read more

The food was delicious. The wait was a bit long. I don't think they anticipated the crowd. But the waiter was a trooper. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place is a vibe... hookah and games.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Laviemex - Specialty Food Near Me - The Bronx, New York

Came here for a birthday celebration the staff was nice accommodating to our group. The ambiance is like a nice lounge vibe decorated very nicely and aesthetically pleasing. There are plenty of photo opportunities if you're into that. The staff was fun and friendly we had our server Jalapeño which was great and made sure we were ok at all times. Let's talk about food again these are just my honest opinion based on my experience. The tacos were lacking a bit flimsy and over priced for what you're getting not very filling. The Mac and cheese tasted sour not sure why it looked beautiful had a great cheese pull but it was not for me. The only thing we were eh about was having long black hair in 2 of the waters and in the mac and cheese. The sampler was delicious worth it, calamari delicious, the stake and mash was on point, the Birria quesadilla Was ok, the fajitas were best thing there and worth every penny and the esquite corn was amazing! Drinks were excellent strong and on point I love the blue lemon drop. They also have games for you to play with your friends which was something we wanted to do but one of our friends had to go to work so we had to skip it. I appreciate the staff taking the time to sing happy birthday it was very kind and we appreciate it thank you again. Definitely think you should stop by and try for yourself this place has potential. read more

Went to meet up with friends celebrating a birthday. When I got there a waited a little before the waiter came to the table. I ordered a drink from the waiter and the drink took about 15-20 mins that disappointed me because I have gone before and the service was on point . Felt everyone we wanted to order drinks it took very long to order and then to receive the drinks. I also ordered food which I had no complaints it was very savory. The ambience was good. I just wished the drink service was better. read more

This spot has changed hands a few times over the years, so I decided to stop in on a Saturday evening . It was after brunch but before the dinner crowd. I was surprised it wasn't busier, but it may have just been the timing. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere was really nice. They opened up the space beautifully compared to the previous ownership, and the music was a good mix of 90s and newer music.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Our waiter came over quickly for drink orders, and the drinks arrived fast and tasted great. The food was outstanding. We had the wings, shrimp quesadilla, salmon, and chicken fajitas. Everything was a 10/10. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Downside: The music was loud. Like uncomfortably loud. Maybe we were seated near a speaker, but 7pm in an almost empty restaurant, it felt excessive. I could barely hear my own thoughts.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

A friend of mine saw this on IG and put it on our "to check out" list. We opted to finally go on a Friday evening for Happy Hour. We arrived maybe 30mins before Happy Hour was to end. My friend and I ordered lemon drops and let me tell you it was DELICIOUS. When the waitress bought out our drinks she also bought out the drinks for the next table and one drink look so yummy, the Guava margarita. The waitress reminded us happy hour was ending and we put in additional drink orders. We got two additional rounds. Including the guava margarita. We also ordered the Birra arepas and the burger. We were not hungry so we shared. In addition they also have hookah and good mix of Latin and old school 90s R & B. The food exceeded my expectations. The burger was very good and filling. Even with sharing it was more than enough. The arepas are itty bitty but pack lots of flavor and even though it was a small portion it was more than satisfying. It was just right. The drinks I think are the star of the show. Who ever was the bartender did their big one. I felt as if they had a skilled mixoligist behind the bar. The service was very good. The staff was super friendly and everyone was hands on deck EXCEPT one person. I feel the need to mention this person in hopes that maybe her attitude will change. Her attitude would have made me say never again to this place however the other staff was so over the top it made up for her stank attitude. She herself may have been a manager. While I did not catch her name she is blond with thin waist length extensions and let's just put it nicely by saying she is hard to miss due to her very over exaggerated curves. However my waitress that evening Milly deserves her own personal review. Milly hands down understands the art of hospitality and guest services. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Apart from the good food and drinks the place itself is decorated very chic and has contemporary art painted on the walls that clearly depicts the Mex+French mix.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Overall it is small inside yet very cozy and while the music was good what made it perfect was the volume. She could actually hear the person sitting at the table with you.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The only reason I can't give this place 5 stars is because I personally did not try their full curated menu. However what I did try makes what to return and explore more options. read more

Where do I even begin with this restaurant? The concept itself is fundamentally confused. This establishment presents itself as Mexican, yet there is nothing authentically Mexican about it--starting with ownership and extending all the way to execution. No one with a genuine understanding of Mexican culture or cuisine would attempt to frame it through a "French twist." Even a basic awareness of Mexican history--Cinco de Mayo, 1862--should signal why this approach feels tone-deaf rather than innovative. The inconsistencies continue with the beverage program. Mexican cuisine is aggressively promoted, yet the beer selection features Dominican options. This pairing makes little cultural or culinary sense. It is baffling that staples like Victoria or Pacifico--beers that naturally complement Mexican food--are absent. The result feels careless, as if authenticity was never part of the plan. Then there are the tacos. These are not tacos by any traditional or even loosely respectful standard. As a rule of thumb: when sour cream is presented as a default topping, you are no longer dealing with a taco--you are dealing with an imitation. At that point, walking away is the most honest response. Overall, this restaurant feels less like a celebration of Mexican cuisine and more like a misguided parody of it. For diners seeking authenticity, cultural respect, or even basic cohesion, this place is a profound disappointment. read more

Service is incredible. [[HIGHLIGHT]]it feels like a mix between a high end restaurant and an upscale trendy lounge.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] the raspberry lychee mojito mocktail was excellent...For happy hour dinner I had the steak mac and cheese and it was delicious. I also had the birria arepitas and the flavors were very good as well. I will definitely be coming back. read more

We had such an amazing experience at LaVieMex on East Tremont! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The vibe is fun, welcoming, and beautifully decorated -- perfect for a night out.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We ordered the Picadera Sampler and the Taco Sampler, and both were incredible. Everything came out fresh, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned. You can really tell the chef puts a lot of care into every dish. The drinks were just as good -- we had a pitcher of Strawberry Margarita, the Female Dragon, and the Spiced Stormy. All were delicious, refreshing, and strong in the best way. The staff was amazing from start to finish. The chef did an incredible job, and our waiter Jalapeño made the whole experience even better. Super friendly, attentive, and made us feel right at home. They even have games you can play! We played dominos while we waited for our food, which made the night even more fun. LaVieMex is definitely one of the Bronx's best spots for great food, great drinks, and great energy. Highly recommend -- we'll definitely be back! read more

I'm really disappointed with this place the food is so bad and the drinks bad I felt like throwing up there [[HIGHLIGHT]]cups was so dirty and sticky[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] service is bad asked the waitress about 5 times for a different drink because me and my friend didn't like it and they kept telling us to wait and never came back we waited 40 min never even came back I saw the waitress taking shots instead at the back by the Dj set it was so ratchet tbh really disappointed me very bad read more

Came here for Brunch with my family. We ordered a bunch of things. Highlight: Shrimp Ceviche. My steak and eggs came with freezer food "tator tots". It honestly just gives a Dominican brunch spot. Service is decent - ordered bottomless but there were times when my glass was empty. [[HIGHLIGHT]]But the DJ is great and prices aren't too bad.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Stopped by for happy hour the inside is stunning I told my friend it gives dyckman lol ifykyk but still a nice experience. The service was friendly and the happy hour menu was decent I feel like could've been more but it was cool. The drinks were the highlight for me very good oh and the nachos; I loved those so much they add something to their pico that gives it a good different taste. They do offer hookah for my hookah lovers and the dinner menu is decent as well could be more added to that as well. It's also very instagram photo friendly with all the floral decor throughout the restaurant read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]I really enjoyed the vibe of the place, and the food was great![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Since it's not a very big spot, I did feel the service could have been better. There were times we were waiting for a server and even had to look around for someone available just to order another drink. read more

We ordered the Picadera Sampler for 2 people. It came with Cajun fries, wings, chicharron, steak quesadillas, and tostones. Staff was friendly and welcoming and there was a DJ. For drinks we tried the Smoke & Mirrors and the Guava Margarita both were delicious but not super strong. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Overall, awesome vibes[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Girls night on Tuesday at 6pm. No one there and service was lacking . Drinks were eh , not strong and nothing special. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was cold in there and in the bathroom.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Tacos took long to come and they were also ok. Guac n chips was a very small portion with very few Chips. Guac was actually ok. Nachos looked like it was made by a child, melted yellow movie theater cheese on it too. No Ty.. Also it looks to me like they need " Bar Rescue " to come through and help . Would not recommend read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Definitely a vibe, the service was great and the food/drinks were even better!![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I went for Sunday brunch and returned again on a week night for dinner and the food was great. Weather you're there alone or in a group the staff always make sure that you are well taken care of 10/10 definitely recommend! read more

Food was good service was excellent. I would of gave them 4 stars what brought it down for me was the hookah smoking gave me a bad feeling. I don't think that is for everyone. If that is there crowd and it seems to be more power to them.[[HIGHLIGHT]]The music was just right not to loud and a good blend of music.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I honestly can't say if I will come back I feel bad because I really like the place In these times I guess that is the way.Just not for me sorry. read more

There are many other amazing and warm restaurants in the area, this place will close for failure to practice true hospitality and decency! They advertise a fun brunch party experience, but are extremely unprofessional. Unnecessarily rude and slow service, owner and staff are related so it's real mean girl energy as soon as you walk in. The bad reviews are consistent for a reason; they seem to treat large girl groups poorly, yet their whole business model is tailored to us. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They left my party standing in the rain before opening the doors, and refused to move us from near the door and loud speaker and someone's carriage was blocking my table seating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Wrong drink was brought and server gaslight my friend saying she was wrong. Forgot an entree and ignored our table for over 40 mins, after we asked multiple staff, and when we asked to get removed from the bill, server gave attitude and then stood by our table waiting for us to pay immediately. Asked to speak with manager/owner, and was told "our group was a problem from the start." I wanted to give this place a chance, but will never return. read more
