Viva is a true neighborhood gem! The flavors are consistent and bright, food always tasty and prices are fair. SO and I are working our way down the menu and have enjoyed our fajitas, enchiladas, tacos and more. Dishes are made fresh, served up quickly and the homemade tortillas are clutch. We love Viva, every meal there is a treat. read more

WOW. Let me just start with that. I ordered for pickup via Yelp on a Saturday at around 2 pm. I will say that parking is tough in that area so if you can go with another person to have them run down and grab the food, that would probably be best. Seating is limited as the place is very small. There's maybe 5-6 tables and they were all taken at the time. I ordered the al pastor tacos (4 per order) and the chorizo quesadillas (3 per order). The tacos were good. They also come with a side of some radishes and cucumbers. But the star was the quesadilla. Even after transit, it was still crispy. These were packed with ingredients - lots of chorizo, cheese, and lettuce (and possibly some crack). Both are served with a side of this hot sauce and green salsa, which I loved and smothered on my food. The quality and price point is amazing. I feel like at a lot of Mexican places I've ordered from, you can only have one or the other but not at Viva Mexico. I think this might be the best Mexican food I've had in the area, and also the cheapest, which is rare. I almost don't want to write that because I want to be selfish and keep that a secret, but at the same time, I feel like everyone should know about this place because it's just that great. Can't wait to come back soon! The breakfast plates and the tortas sound really good so maybe I'll go with that next. I've found my new favorite Mexican spot! read more

My boyfriend and I have been to Mexico and have been on the hunt for similar tacos since. This spot isn't Mexico but it totally hit the spot! Prices are really good too. Love that it's a family-run business, and the wait staff was super kind too. Tiny restaurant so it might be a hit or miss getting a seat, but my boyfriend and I had no problem on a weekend lunchtime. read more

Ordered priority delivery via Uber Eats this past Saturday (2021.02.27). Food arrived at a decent temperature, and quality was fantastic. We got the Chicken Flautas (Pollo), Green Sauce Enchiladas Mex (Verdes), and Chicken Tacos (Pollo). What can I say? If we are going to get any Mexican delivered to Secaucus, we will be ordering from Viva Mexico again. read more

The tacos are tasty, I do wish there was more filling in them but I did enjoy them and would buy again.

Delicious and authentic Mexican food! Such amazing food from this small, local restaurant. Ordered take out and the delivery was fast and food was still hot. The tacos are delicious, the quesadillas are so good, and the sopes are great! Will definitely continue to order from here. The cecina is so so so good! Please try it, you won't be disappointed. read more

I have always love Mexican food but this restaurant amazed me with their Authentic Mexican food.I can finally said I found a Mexican Restaurant that have left me speachless because of their Authentic food . read more

This is the spot! If you are looking for no nonsense authentic Mexican food then go here. I'm new in the neighborhood and have been exploring a ton of new spots, mostly all overrated and overpriced. This place though doesn't it right. I ordered take out, but they do have a small patio area if you want to eat outside. I ordered two shrimp burritos and it hit the spot. I've had hundreds of burritos but this burrito was packed with flavor! Perfect amount of rice, beans, guacamole and Camerones. Also got a side of guacamole and it was delicious. So fresh. I'll be back to try more stuff and update my review, but this spot is worth the drive if you're in Hoboken or jersey city. Just go and thank me later! read more

Some of the best Mexican food in Hudson County--and they deliver to Hoboken (at least uptown) I pretty much only get the Viva Burrito at this point. The bomb!! read more

Great tasty food. Fast service for delivery and also dine in. Small space overall so it's better to pick up and go.

Pecima actitud hacia los clientes baño sucios creo que tienen que ver lo de la higiene

I love here. Foods and service are nice. The waitress was professional. I am sure I will be back here soon.

I just found this place a week ago and liked it. So I told my mom, best friend, and boyfriend about it. Combined we have easily spent 200 on this place within this last week. So today I placed 2 separate orders for tacos. I told the waitress (who seemed highly uninterested in getting the info correct), that I wanted all the tacos with no sauce, and I wanted all of the sauces on the side. I further explained that I wanted only the lettuce and cheese on them. I said this about 3 times because she was not looking at me and I felt like she wasn't giving me her attention and I wanted her to get it right. At one point she was confused about the 2 separate orders so she asked another guy employee to help her. I figured maybe she was confused because her English wasn't that good. I am allergic to sour cream so I always stress the point. When I got my orders I realized that there was sour cream on everything. I took my order back to the store and explained that they added sour cream. The guy explained to me that sour cream is not a sauce. He took not accountability for the error and told me I had to pay for a new order. I told him that I had ordered the same thing 3 other times that week and no one else made that mistake. Obviously I refused to pay for another order. Why would I trust them to make it correct another time and not waste my money. So I guess they thought they can just take my money and not make my order correctly. I will be filling a dispute and I also will tell all my friends in the area not to go there. If they will refuse refunds or order corrections they should have someone there who speaks English well and also pays more attention when taking orders. read more

Great Mexican classics, great service, great prices. If I'm ever in the mood for a good quesadilla, I drop in.

Incredible authentic Mexican food! Everything is so fresh and well prepared. The restaurant is small and because it's hard to park in the neighborhood, we happily enjoy take out! Recommend any of the tacos and the guacamole is awesome. The Enchiladas Mexicanas De Mole was also excellent! Enjoy, you won't be disappointed.... read more

My wife and I needed some comfort food after moving to Jersey (we're from San Diego originally) and found Viva Mexico is only 2 blocks from our house. This place is absolutely delicious. We're big fans of their enchiladas and get them almost weekly when we are too lazy to cook. Their guac is pretty fresh and tasty as well. The staff is very friendly every time I come by for pick up. We highly recommend this place. read more

This place is the perfect little "hole in the wall". It was clean, food was delicious and the portions were very generous. the pricing could not have been better. I will definitely be becoming a regular here! read more

Authentic Mexican! Also has a large Tex mex selection. Tasted so good goin in. Felt so good goin out

I was extremely happy when I found this place. Moved from California and this is the closest I've gotten to a real Mexican style street taco.. the Enchiladas with the red sauce was spicy and delicious and the quesadilla was pretty close to what I get back home- although it was a little dry I sauced it up and it was good. I enjoyed the horchata as well! read more

This place is simply AMAZING!!! Honestly one of the best Mexican foods I've ever had! It feels like your family is cooking for you, it tastes like home!

It's gone downhill the last couple months. Variable pricing, having to repeat the order several times, and still getting the wrong item. I think they have new employees read more

Tried to order, hung up on me 3 times. I even tried talking to them in Spanish. Wtf why do this? So rude

We order at least once a week. Their tacos are authentic, nachos as delicious, and flautas are so good!

This is the best Mexican food near me the service is so good and they are so nice to me and I love there food in general and anybody that's lives near this Mexican restaurant has to most definitely come here read more

This quaint, modest, very colorful local eatery arrived only months ago, and its owners are the real deal, bringing recipes from their Mexican homeland. The food is authentic and passed the strict test of a visiting Texan who knows his Mexican food, and gobbled up his meal of fried chorizo tostadas. However, this vegetarian New Yorker simply loves the flavoring used, and thoroughly enjoyed his veggie burrito (w mozzarella, if desired!) and the very savory tortilla soup. You can also catch up on latin cable telenovellas, music videos & news on the vivid widescreen over the bar/counter. Delicious coffee, too. read more

Horchata is great! Love their beef sopes. Red sauce as side is spicy and the green is very mild, more for flavor than spice so I prefer the red as a Mexican, love that they give both for you to choose. Everything has been good but of course I have very high homecooking standards. Definitely worth any day as the food is not salty, greasy or old. Have tried several dishes and all have been pleasant. Agua de Jamaica is really good too, refreshing. Cook probably did change since they opened but as long as it doesn't change too much I'll continue to go back at least once a month. I don't give it 5 stars because I haven't tried everything so yeah. read more

I recently found this new spot and I went there three times in one week, so I was surprised when me and friend of mine had a issue today, we told them that we did not want sour cream on anything so naturally you would think we can just bring it back and get a refund.. But that was not the case, she came back outside and told me we would have to order again and also pay again, which is outrageous considering I spent over $200 there that week.. So naturally I did not order again and I will never go there again because I felt that when you own a business the customer should have the ability to dispute a mistake and if he or she is correct they should be compensated with a new order.. read more

I never leave reviews but felt the need to do so here- I was surprised to see there aren't a ton of reviews for this place. We ordered from here last night and honestly it was one of the best delivery food experiences I've had!! We live in Hoboken and I'd order here over the places in Hoboken any day. The food was AWESOME- fresh, delicious, great portion, came quickly. Super authentic Mexican food and highly recommend. I'm already craving it again. read more

Very good tostadas and tacos. Fresh tortillas, taste like homemade to me. Friendly staff and excellent service. Pretty authentic overall

This restaurant needs to invest in better sound/music speakers. All of a sudden the music blasts and then lowers. Can't relax or talk to your waiter. At times it's so loud. Manager said they can't control it's because of Pandora. You can absolutely determine the volume. Even for Friday happy hour it's obnoxious. read more
