Review Vivo Modern Texmex

JC Weber

Pretty impressed with this place. Only draw back is it is pretty dark atmosphere inside. The waiter (Oscar) was super helpful and attentive. The chips and salsa are on point. The cocktails ( we had more than pictured 😏) were tasty. My fajita tacos were delicious and my wife loved her street tacos. This is a hidden gem that should be visited if you are in the area.

Delicious food. We got the calabacitas and puffy tacos with tofu. The corn tortillas are good. We got Victoria beer for an authentic Mexican experience. And a margarita for a Tex-Mex one. The chips and salsa was also good. The chips were light and fluffy. It’s nice to have a Tex-Mex place with vegan/vegetarian options. The waitress (Mary) was also very good (attentive, made sure the order was correct and good).

Good for the price you pay. Pretty affordable options available. I went in on a Sunday for brunch, but their happy hours prices during weekdays looked super great and prices were amazing. Menu is pretty much all Tex Mex, the only thing I didn’t really like were the refried and charro beans, but besides that, delicious.

I highly recommend making a reservation. I ordered the burger, which was delicious. Pricey, so bring your credit card or two.

The chips and salsa were really good. My two margaritas were decent. The platter was solid, and the queso was average.

Fantastic tex-mex operation, great food, service and libations. I also like the patio. There was a bit of a wait but it was worth it. The atmosphere is a little loud for conversation, but overall, I would recommend and return. The addition of flowers in the margaritas was a nice extra touch that helped spark a festive attitude.

KILLER SPOT! Have been living in the area for over a year and had not even considered this place as an option. What a fool I was! We were craving Mexican (noticed the Tex-Mex direction) but it’s definitely more Mex than Tex (70/30). In terms of the physical space, it’s nothing special and a little dark inside (when sunny, might be a good option to eat outside). When it comes to food, their kitchen shines from the very second you get the complimentary house made chips and salsa. Can’t think of better chips (not exaggerating) and their red salsa has a good addictive kick to it. We got the enchiladas and changed the sauce it comes with while opting for the light green sauce. The only interesting part of the beef enchilada was that we asked if it was shredded beef (and Dr was yes) but in reality it’s ground beef, which is a huge difference in texture and blend when eaten in an enchilada. Having said that, the flavors were so so good, we didn’t even bother to tell the waiter. Also got the Pambazo and can can confirm it’s just as good as a good quality Pambazo from Mexico City or Guadalajara. We didn’t get any drinks but from the tables around us, it looks like they also put love into their cocktails. One last comment: prices are great and will definitely come back in a few weeks.

Their chips and salsa are good! Have never been disappointed with the food, although I wish they offered black beans. Staff is polite and friendly. It's local, plenty of parking, and a quaint environment with added space on the patio.

Back when this place was on Manor road it was definitely the place to go to bring out of town company. Beautiful location, great food and drinks. Moving to the Linc I was skeptical but hopeful that it would still be great, and thankfully I was not disappointed. Really nice touches with the decor and menu options. Drinks are affordable and tasty.

Great margaritas. Very strong. Puffy tacos. OK. Ground beef was very odd.

Sam Hagey

Local for us, food is consistently good. House cocktails are nice as well. We would like a larger bar area for more social atmosphere, but space doesn’t allow. Expanded patio is nice for lunch, although we did experience (to no fault of VIVO’s) the absolutely rudest table neighbors on the last patio experience during Texas relays. Pretty sure that was even a dine and dash… easy answer for local casual meals for us. A

So far my favorite chips and salsa place! The food and the drinks are great as well and reasonably priced. I got the four mini tacos and they were great when you put the sauce on them. There are a good amount of margarita options and they taste amazing! Highly recommend the margaritas here.

Corina Rodriguez

My vegetarian enchiladas were excellent. I had originally ordered the mushroom and spinach, but they had run out of spinach and called me immediately to suggest other alternatives. I had asked them to add my avocado into the enchilada...that I usually have on the side and they were gracious enough to do it. I wish the restaurant was a little bigger. I have not been disappointed. Thank you Vivo for a delicious lunch.

Kimmberly

Everything was so good! Lighting was a little lower than I'd like for a dinner but other than that it was a great visit and I will definitely be back!

Teresa Portell

The food is delicious. They have fantastic corn tortillas. I had the puffy tacos with shredded chicken and would order those again. Margaritas are excellent. The only negative is the restaurant’s air conditioning is not sufficient and it was uncomfortably warm and it was that way the last time I was there, too. I would recommend carry out or go when the temperature cools down outside.

Delicious meal. Appreciate being able to make a reservation. Atmosphere is lovely. My favorite hot sauce in town. Puffy guacamole tacos and cheese enchiladas are outstanding.
