So this place is finally open! The owner has travelled around the world...from Mexico City to LA to study what true, authentic Mexican food is. And he delivers! Where else can you find Mezcal, Gospacho, El Pastor, Seitan? How about Pazole and Churros? Agua Fresca? Think food you'd have a hard time finding in most big cities of the Midwest....all in one place...all right here.
Oh and they have an awesome assortment of Mexican and Mexican inspired beers, margaritas, and unique cocktails. And they have tons of vegetarian options.
I ended up getting the Or Xaca beer which was an awesome mix of a blonde ale and horchata! After...chips and guac (which yes does come in its own stone mortar and pestle). I got their Al Pastor, Seitan, and Narajna tacos. I tried my friends Premo Marg (which comes in an awesome stone glass). And concluded it all with some churros!
All their food was really good! My favs were the Al Pastor and Churros! The Al Pastor comes with grilled pineapple which is an amazing accompaniment and makes the taco! The Churros have a perfect balance of being moist on the inside while being crisp on the outside. These two things rival top popular places I've been to in Chicago and Columbus (I'm not name dropping) where these dishes are known city wide for their quality. And Vivir's are bette
So take a risk, try something you can't find anywhere else, have fun. Know you'll get locally sourced, quality food that is made fresh! It's all delish and you can't go wrong! read more
