I really liked the birria tacos and consume here. They were just what I needed for a rainy day, and they came paired with nice salsas. Viva Toro has a huge, modern dining room with performance spaces, a good sound system, a large unisex bathroom, helpful staff, and solid food. Although I didn't care for the pop playlist, I would come here again for the tacos and happy hour deals. read more

Stopped by Viva Toro for happy hour before going to a performance nearby and everything was great! The space is super nice and the DJ was lit. Happy hour drinks were good too and there's a fair amount of variety (frozé, shots, margs, beer) at a good price ($6-8). They don't have happy hour food specials but the appetizers prices are reasonable as well. Food wise everything was good, but the guac was a little underwhelming so I'll pass next time and I'll also make sure to order my wings extra crispy. I'll definitely be back for their party brunch! read more

This venue is definitely a vibe during late night hours. They have good DJ's that will play a little something for everyone. I had fun and so did my friends. the only thing is that it was cash only for coat check, entry fee and hookah. they do have an atm and their price is $5. don't know why its cash only meanwhile you can pay for your drinks and food with card. oh and coat check is also mandatory. you have no choice to leave your coat. read more

Came here for lunch during an all-day bachelor party. Before continuing - we were sober. A friend suggested this spot and booked reservations. We were six men crammed onto two two-tops. We're there booths and larger, empty tables? Yeah. It was only about 20% full while we were there. The good: the steak was alright. My salad tasted like it was on its way out though. The atmosphere was okay, too - but only from a decoration standpoint. They had plenty of options, but nothing really low carb if that matters to you. The bad: so much. First, automatic gratuity and "credit card convenience fee"s are awful. Just pay your staff a real wage or let us tip based on the service. If it's bad, the tip will be bad - 15%. If it's great, it'll be great - 20%+. Second, they blow a whistle nonstop and bringing out a flashing camping light (????) and a sombrero to celebrate someone's birthday. This made it feel like we were at an Applebees and it was so obtrusive of a noise. Third, they send a cameraman around to take photos randomly. They will print these out, put them in frames and try to sell them to you. My friend decided to buy two. He asked how much and was told twice that they were $13 each. When he paid it came to $45. He raised this to management who did nothing. No refund, no adjustment, no "sorry you were told the wrong price, we can take them back and refund you." Just told we heard wrong. I was very sober and heard it myself: $13 each. What a scam, but hey. Fourth, the service was mediocre at best. To force an 18% gratuity for mediocre service? Nah. Miss me with that. Overall this place is a miss. The tiktok and Instagram make it look crazy and fun - but it was just not the vibe. read more

My friend wanted to celebrate her birthday here on a Saturday night so we came beforehand to have dinner and then stayed for the nightclub. We made our reservations online for 8 pm and our table was ready as soon as we arrived. The food was okay. I had the patacón pisao and yuca fries. I kept saying "the food is alright but I'll definitely be okay going on with the rest of my life without coming here for food again." I had a strawberry frozen margarita with sugar in the rim and the sugar was around the cup .. not on the rim. They have hookahs for $35 with a $25 refill. The bathroom is unisex and a man winked at me while I was washing my hands, making me feel really uncomfortable. When the location was transitioned to the night club, we got bottle service with came with a table. I will say that the placements for these seats are terrible. We were literally just sitting in a corner facing a wall. Spent way too much money on this night and was left extremely disappointed. read more

This place just made my list for my top five places ever. The staff here is completely amazing, the ambiance is fun/exciting and the food is truly incredible. Nothing I tried tonight wasn't excellent. The nachos were awesome and the queso was the best I ever had. For an entree, they offer a platter of meat that will knock your socks off! The drink are intricate and delicious and very reasonably priced. This restaurant is huge with a dj too so its perfect for large gatherings and space around you to enjoy yourself. I can't hype this place enough! read more

Food service and ambulance was excellent. Staff if very friendly and attentive. I had the skirt steak salad and mango margaritas. It was very good. My friends had the chicken salad, margaritas and flan. We all enjoyed ourselves. The only thing is that it is dark outside along that block. read more

We had a nice and attentive waitress but I couldn't help but feel rushed as if they were trying to turn over our table fast. I suppose it could have been bc it was a Saturday night but still. The chicken flautas were good and the guacamole was tasty. The Fladita skirt steak was a bit chewy and the morro rice was forgettable. The drinks were ok but that's where most of your money goes. Also because our bill was more than 100 dollars, they automatically charged an 18% gratuity as.well as a convenience fee for using your credit card. I won't be rushing back anytime soon. read more

Ok places you may want to skip includes this place! Food is average but prices are not oh and don't think your 300$ bill for 2 will exclude you from being kicked out of your table when the place turns into a club, even if your still drinking eating or smoking if you don't buy a bottle they will kick you out so keep that in mind. And the hookah people they manage this place even if you pay them cash there agreement with management must say "don't refill their hookah unless they buy a bottle" so be warned expect money hungry business here , unless your their friend cuz then Im sure they're fine ... ps : the table we got kicked out off because they are selling so muuuuuch Bottle service sits empty 50 mins later ! Great job! Great service ! Nooooooot!good for people willing to waste their money and be treated with no respect ! read more

I had high hopes for this place but was extremely disappointed for the following reasons: 1. Our food took TWO HOURS to come out despite us having a reservation. They completely forgot an order at our table and that one took additional time. Also, they didn't even offer us a discount! Unreal. 2. When the food came, it was "ok," nothing special. It was overpriced for what it was. 3. Only some people were bag checked and not all which was extremely strange. 4. Unlike other places in the city, they did not check that people had vaccine cards and yet had a large number of unmasked people everywhere. With this delta strain, it just didn't feel safe. 5. We were seated near the extremely loud and WORST DJ I have ever heard in my entire life. I mean we couldn't even hear each other when we tried to scream at each other loud. The DJ left me truly speechless- most horrific butchering of music I have ever lived. 6. The server didn't even know what a mocktail was and when asked for non-alcoholic drinks said they didn't have any. They're not hard to make and the restaurant gets to charge a good margin for them- makes no sense. They get one star from me although my friends asked if there was a 0 star option. I wouldn't go again they paid me but hey, maybe if the mechanical bull opens up, someone could like that part of it. read more

Ambiance is great Drinks were okay Food was just okay Service was lacking. Appetizer plates were left at table for a very long while. It was a messy and inattentive service read more

Great food great restaurant experience. Go early if you want to avoid the young folks club invasion. They literally clear the restaurant of tables while you're still dining to prepare for the club night. Drinks are on point , kind of reminds me of the Gonzalez y Gonzalez days. Not really of fan of Hookah, they have a lot of it for sale. Great experience if you come early or late. read more

Viva Toro - The Passion Fruit Frozen Margarita is a win ! - Mexican Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

BEWARE. The food and drinks were good, but be prepared for predatory extra fees on your food. I was asked if I wanted beef chicken or shrimp with my pinono and my server recommended the shrimp. I found out when the check came that it was a $9 surcharge on my $15 meal to make it $24... we also were charged $5 for consume that was served with the birria tacos... then to make it all worse, there was an auto 20% gratuity on any bill above $100. Make sure to ask lots of questions about cost while you order!!! read more

I went here for my friends birthday dinner and we were all a bit skeptical about about what we would experience due to mixed reviews. On TikTok, it looked amazing and it was just about close to being so. Because we were a big party, we did a prefix menu and the food did not disappoint! I enjoyed the appetizers platter the most. Their classic frozen margaritas are amazing. The service was delightful and the ambiance was very cool. The DJ was A1 and the hookah (yes they serve hookah) did not disappoint. I would definitely recommend for a good night out. read more

Came here early on a Saturday evening. As soon as we walked in... Overwhelming security guard. Lady dug in our bags. Totally violating all personal rights. It's one thing to look in a bag but she's literally taking your things out. I mean really??? Is it that serious?? Appetizers: sliders delish. Came out on a platano which looked amazing. Tasted good. Calamari came out on the chilly side. Had to send it back. Smh. Not a good start Viva. They brought back another one quick and it was hotter. Obviously this is not made fresh. Probably some frozen calamari. However it tasted okay. Not bad. We ordered a pitcher of Margarita on the rocks. Just regular. Ughhhh just nasty! Hated it. Tasted like a headache waiting to happen!! No thank you. I let my friend have at it. Entrees: I ordered the chicken enchiladas. Which I have to say was delicious BUT it wasn't hot. More in the chill side and I didn't send it back because I was starving. So I sucked it up. My boyfriend hated his fries which I mean... come on... who messes up fries??? All that to say... will not be coming back here. Wanted to see what all the hype was about but nothing at all! Don't waste your time or your money!! Not worth it read more

Food was amazing...better than their old location lol. The ambiance was great...beautiful people everywhere. Music was awesome; can't wait until we can get up and dance, although i was dancing in my seat lol. My friends and I are definitely returning. They weren't serving dessert yet but I'm looking forward to that on my next visit. We had frozen drinks off the menu, but i asked if they had my favorite...Amaretto DiSarrono and they did!!! I am definitely going to spread the word about this venue...a must come experience!!!! read more

I absolutely love this restaurant i come here as much as i can i celebrate birthdays here the food is excellent the drinks on point. i would come here even if they didn't serve hookah BUT the fact that it is part of the service and im a hookah head i expect it when i come it's like my dessert so when i come here and the hookah guy shows up when he wants is disturbing one day he's here at 5 next day he's here at 8 i don't understand what his issue is like bruh this is a business that offers certain amenities and people expect that same service every time they come. what we don't expect is for him to come when he feels like it and also for the business to accept this unpredictable behavior from one of its employees it's either you give him a schedule that he can stick too or you hire someone else !! ii know plenty of ppl you can hire for this service who will be happy to be on time and accept cash app or zelle and not only cash it's 2024 get with technology mister and also real hookah place check the charcoal and change it !! lets not take a quality restaurant lived by many and soil it with a shady hookah nut. i been a regular since berry st when you could actually ride the bull and not just look at it!!! when i come here the same way i expect great food and drinks i expect all you offer who wants to sit around and wait for some lazy ass person who can't take his job seriously...... and bring back the Froze it's the best drink you have take away the frozen sangria if your going to take something off the menu .... read more

When I say this place is always a vibe I'm not lying. Today was my friends birthday and we had a time. Drinks flowing food was okay maybe because mine was a bit cold but I still ate it. The host not sure of her name I asked for a back seat area since it was my friends first time there and we were sat by the entrance but she made a way for us to be placed in the back. That's where the party was and she was awesome security was awesome also he was so kind. Been having brunch here for years thanks for making my friends bday so fun he had a timeeee read more

Sunday Brunch here is the bomb! The vibe is like a Friday night, I just got paid and I'm out of work, someone get me a drink kinda vibe!!

Came here for a quick dinner. The food was good and the server was friendly but the service wasn't great because she barely checked on us. We had to ask other workers, and the guys cleaning the tables, for water. FYI: it gets very loud here. It turns more into a lounge than a restaurant in the evening--the lighting even changes. So keep that in mind if you're looking to book a dinner and speak to the people you're with. read more

Think this place is over hyped . The food is average and I stayed once Late night since they have a Live DJ and mechanical Bull for entertainment purposes . There was an issue where my friend slipped and fell hurting herself to the point she was in so much pain we had to leave and considered taking her to emergency room . We asked to speak with management about the incident and when we spoke with the so called either Owner or Management , we were mocked and laughed at , and then they just went back to their section and just continued drinking as if nothing happened . Horrible experience and horrible ownership . management . read more

The bright neon lights and music of this venue are sure to attract, especially those stumbling out into the cold streets of Brooklyn post comedy shows. Beare liked the spaciousness of the venue and its high-ceilings. We had a good time scrutinizing the DJ's state of mind and photoshopped flyer choice. Beare ordered the empanadas which she thought were too heavy. Belly had the steak with parm mash potatoes which ended up being a highlight. We also ordered the Mo'jito Mo'problems. Belly asked that Beare's Mo'jito had extra agave and they delivered. read more

What a time we had! I was there Sunday for brunch we had a party of 30 melanated ladies. The servers did a wonderful job of tending to the large party. Very friendly staff and well mannered. Food/Drink: Brunch comes with bottomless drinks the mimosas are good. The white sangria is tasty. I also ordered from the bar separately a frozen passion fruit margarita that was very good. You get an appetizer and an entree. I had the calamari that was sooo good and the dipping sauce.mmm. well seasoned. My entree was the burger it comes with bacon and a fried egg and fries on the side in a cute basket pretty good meal. Entertainment They had a saxophone guy that played some tunes including serenading the guest of honor with Happy birthday that was really nice. Then he surprised the entire establishment with fire coming out of the sax never seen anything like it ! very fun and new experience.live DJ good music and vibes reggaeton, soca, hip hop. Pop. Establishment: Plenty of photo opps as you enter. Great decor.Things to sit on , stand in front of. There are unisex bathrooms several private stalls together and then a community type sink in the middle and a bathroom attendant the entire time well done. I'll def come back again . Parking in the area is a bit hard to find. read more
