Vivo Amigo Cardiff in Cardiff

Amazing food with best service.

Went on a quiet Saturday lunchtime and the food was amazing, will definitely be returning

We had a good time @VIVO AMIGO. It was really a nice experience. The entire service was amazing by the crew. I really enjoyed the Tandoori Chicken Burrito. I would highly recommend this restaurant who looking for a budget friendly space with your family, friends.

Fantastic food, I had the Roti Tacos which were fantastic, the portion sizes are really generous and the staff were really welcoming and polite.

Well where do I start . If your looking for a big fancy restaurant that is really expensive, the food not great and the service is nonexistent then eat somewhere else. This is a small restaurant that my wife chose as she wanted to try something different. From the moment we entered the waitor was running towards us greeting us and this continued through the meal 10 out 10 for service. The food I couldn't decide so I asked for advice and it was bang on what they said it was and it was amazing. Main meal was a generous size with my wife enjoying a cocktail which she has never drunk before and that was fantastic I know because I sneaked a sip . The biggest shock of the evening was the price . When I told my wife what the bill was after she asked me I had to show it to her , she didn't believe me. We had 2 starters 2 main course water a pint of lager a cocktail extra dips tortilla and fries . We were stuffed leaving there for a few quid more than a takeaway. Couldn't believe how cheap it was for the food and service we had . The 2 guys there were super friendly. Already booked to go back with family for our pre Christmas meal out . 10 out of 10 this place .

One of our favourite restaurants

Lovely food and service, thanks for lunchtime suggestions!

10/10 experience ! The burgers are amazing ! Great food , service and prices. I would highly recommend !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great meal & service but next time get the decorator to use fast drying paint plus put up lots of signs saying "wet paint" then people will not get paint on their hands...... But like I say, the food & service was fine & we will definitely come again.

Got take away. Good food friendly helpful staff

Very tasty food with lots of choice. Good, interesting vegetarian options. Friendly staff. Didn't try the cocktails but they sounded good and will try next time.

Great food 😋 My 3rd time here and won't be my last

Went here with my wife and 2 year old on a Friday afternoon. Was nice and calm environment for our toddler and the service was exemplary - understood bringing kids food out along with starters so they weren’t waiting, service was quick and everything we ordered was delicious. It’s a really nice spin on 2 cusines which married very well without being over the top. Would highly recommend

Just amazing. Couldn't have asked for a more welcome greeting with a lovely atmosphere which isn't too loud but it's nice and busy. If I could rate the food higher I would it's absolutely perfect, my favourite restaurant by far, and the price is super affordable :)

I always worry about delivery, however the food was superb and nice and hot. We ordered our restruant favourite, beef enchilada which was delicious as always.

One of the best places to eat in Cardiff, don't sleep on this hidden gem. It looks unassuming but the food is where this place shines. This Indian-Mexican fusion food works so well - better than you'd ever think, and every item we tried was delicious.

I was a bit dubious about this Mexican/Indian fusion at first, but then looked at their menu and was excited to try out their dishes…I was not disappointed. Excellent, friendly service and delicious food 🙏

Amazing food with a twist. good service. Nice to see something different

Be very careful if you have dietary requirements or allergies/intolerances! Ordered a starter a to share with my partner and specified 'vegan'. I'd eaten half my part before getting suspicious and checking with the server. Even then she wasn't concerned about my queries until I insisted she checked with the chef. I'm lactose intolerant and they'd given us dairy cheese. Apologies given along with no charge to our order, but I could never trust this place again after this. Double check everything and insist on speaking to the chef if there's any concerns because our server was poorly informed and had little-to-no knowledge about veganism or my dietary requirements. EDIT: The next day I experienced stomach cramps and upset which was no doubt due to my experience here. Avoid!

Called in on a whim.. food was delicious so much so am writing this as just finished off burrito. My son had the madras burger an virgin pina colada and loved both

Anniversary dinner as we thoroughly enjoyed our first visit some months ago, arrived a bit early for our table at 8 wasn't a problem for the team excellent service from the new waitress, food as ever was gorgeous well presented with fantastic portion size. It's definitely one of our top restaurants to dine at in Cardiff. See you soon

A great vibe and with very accommodating and welcoming staff. Looked after us beautifully and the food was excellent.

Excellent food and service as always.

Fantastic quality food at an amazing price. Service couldn't be faulted. With two mains, sides and cocktails our food came to under £40. We will definitely be back to enjoy more of their menu.

I like Vivo Amigo and want it to continue to succeed in this difficult time for independent restaurants. Unfortunately our experience on Saturday 22nd June did not seem conducive to future success, and was hopefully not a sign that standards have slipped. We were a "walk-in" at around 9pm when there were two other tables present, both of which appeared to have finished their main courses. We ordered with the waitress: a sharer of nachos to start (requested the dips to come on the side rather than on the dish, which we were told was no problem), two coconut squash dhansak enchiladas and a side of patatas bravas (which the waitress confirmed that we wanted with the main courses). The wait for the nachos was...unusually long, given that the restaurant was not overly busy. When they finally arrived, of course the dips were slathered all over the dish rather than on the side. Having already waited, we could not be bothered to change the dish and just ate them. There then followed another unusual wait for the enchiladas. We've eaten here in busier periods and never waited so long for dishes. Indeed there seemed to be a lot of chat going on from the kitchen staff who were visible behind the bar, rather than any cooking. The meals finally arrived, minus the side of patatas bravas which we'd requested be served the same time. After a couple of minutes there was no evidence that these were going to arrive, so we reminded a waiter that we wanted it all together. He simply replied "two minutes". Guess what...it was nothing like two minutes before they finally turned up. We'd eaten the majority of our mains before this side arrived. Not a great deal of concern from the staff at this slack standard of service. After getting the bill we left without leaving any tip, an unusual experience for us, but we felt that the service simply didn't warrant it. Whether this was new waiting staff or simply apathy on the part of the kitchen staff, I hope that the owner can get things back on track. If this had been our first visit I'm not sure we'd have rushed back.

Absolutely beautiful food. Staff were very friendly.

Amazing flavors, great portion sizes. Great service. Love the fusion of dishes and flavors. Will definitely be coming back again!

The food was Mexican/Indian fusion food, and I must say we were all impressed with how good it was. Being a vegetarian, there were lots of options for a change. The service by Elia was amazing .we will definitely come here again. Thank you for a memorable experience, Vivo Amigo

The food was lovely and they apologised for the late delivery

Good portions and food was alright but service was not very good

I was really impressed with the menu, service and experience at Vivo Amigo. The fusion works really well. I had the tapas bites, which were delicious, varied and plentiful, followed by some of the tastiest tacos I’ve had. The service was excellent and tye food and drinks proved to be really good value. I’ll definitely go back to try more of the really varied and unique menu.

Amazing food and service! Shout-out to the server who made the amazing virgin piña coladas 🤌🏼

Great food and service and the atmosphere was nice. A cool blend of Mexican and Indian cuisine with a menu full of choices. Burgers too for the less adventurous person in your group

Speechless. Beef Madras Burger is the best burger in Cardiff!

One of our favourite places to eat, with a wonderful slant on some popular dishes 😀

Great food, service, and ambience. We will definitely be back.

A good Indo-Mexican fusion restaurant, vegetarian varieties a plus, nice taste and portion. I am trying this for the second time and will surely go again and again. I am a vegetarian and would recommend for its Veg menu. This is a good to go in Cardiff.

Fantastic food an lovely staff, highly recommend.

Great food, great portions. Really delicious. Will definitely come back. Service was lovely

Wow, 1st visit and won't be my last. Excellent food and service. Oh, I can recommend the cocktails too!

Loverly little place with grate food.

Wow. The staff are great and the food is excellent. The restaurant was very busy which is a good sign, Would recommend. thank you vivo amigo

Simply delicious. Vivo Amigo Cardiff is a real find! From the moment we walked in, we were blown away by the delicious food. Seriously, I couldn't decide what to order – everything sounded amazing! The prices were fair, so we need to visit again, multiple times to try it all. Their house cocktails are top-notch! Unfortunately they did forget a side dish, but honestly, the main portions were so generous, we hardly missed it. The staff were super friendly and made us feel right at home. I'd definitely recommend Vivo Amigo to anyone looking for a fantastic dining experience in Cardiff! 5 stars all around.

Genius Genius! Mexican and Indian fusion food! Honestly the best meal I’ve had and incredibly priced. We had a 3 course meal with two ciders and two cocktails for less than £80 Amazing customer service and really upbeat environment. My new fave place to go!

Food was good, we had a few mixed dishes that came quickly enough. Atmosphere was busy and loud at times but we would come again

What an amazing experience! Aptly named Vivo Amigo.. !!! Each and every dish was sooo flavourful and presentable ..kudos to chef .. you are really doing great. Would highly recommend this place and will surely visit again🥰

Amazing food, amazing staff and such a lovely dining area!!

Came here to try something different as the reviews were all good. The staff were lovely the place itself nice, but the food was a let down. Curry with Mexican does not go well at all, everything was with curry or spice. Food very Rich and not great tasting , and the nann bread is shop Bought from a packet . Ordered a crème boulle for desert, It was nothing like one. Very disappointing , glad we had the offer as I would be more gutted paying full price. And a bottle of SMALl cheep Spanish bear for £4.50😳wow. The pic is a crème brûlée , it was an ice cream cone with cream and jam in it. I think you either go to a curry or a Mexican restaurant, the both together idea I think is disappointing.

I didn't receive my free item even though I spent over the amount and the nachos were very dry and i couldn't eat them

Lovely hidden gem, very tasty food and good service.

Cracking fusion food made all the better by the genuinely lovely staff. Patiently and attentively listening to a list of allergies before bring delicious food with big smiles. Roti tacos were a big with the table btw!

Food quickly prepared and well priced absolutely delicious.. big portions. Vikram and his staff were knowledgeable friendly and helpful. Highly recommended.

We had such a lovely meal at Vivo Amigo, Really delicious food and friendly staff. We had a selection of starters and mains, along with cocktails. Would definitely recommend and come again.

Amaaaaazing! Drinks were amazing, food was incredible and the staff were lovely ❤️ I can’t wait to go back and try something new from the menu every time.

Amazing! The food and drinks were fantastic, the staff are lovely and the space is great.

What a fantastic place! Food was absolutely incredible, so tasty and very unique. Staff we’re extremely friendly and helpful and to top the fantastic meal off gave us a free desert! Can’t recommend this place enough and will definitely be back soon.

Wow. Very rarely I leave a review but myself and my partner felt that we definitely had to for vivo amigo! Randomly booked after a shopping trip on our way home after seeing a couple of reviews on trip advisor and the curiosity of Mexican Indian cuisine was very intreging. We felt everything was a 10/10. The service was second to none, we cant remember his name, but what an attentive gentleman. We then indulged in a three course meal and couldn't say one negative thing about any of it. Everything was so tasty and a lovely touch with a free slice of cake for valentines! More than reasonable pricing for good quality of food! We are already looking forward to the our next visit!

OH MY GOD!! The food here is absolutely amazing!! Please go, you will not regret it!! Beef madras tacos are a must!! Amazing service too!!

Try this over the chain restaurants. Excellent food! What a great fusion of flavors! Plenty of veggie options and the paneer burrito made my day, it was great. Lovely staff who took the time to go through some of the other menu items. Looking forward to going back!

Amazing food and service. My favourite infusion restaurant in the area.

What a gem in Cardiff! Mexican-Indian food, the best little, cozy restaurant in Cardiff. It's our another visit and food is absolutely beautiful. We are coming especially for it from Bridgend and we never disappointed. Starters, mains and desserts all absolutely delightful. It is also worth to mention that the owner is super nice, helpful and always smiling. Thank you so much and see you next time Vivo Amigo

Service was great, our server was lovely and friendly. The food came quick and was delicious, like nothing I have had before. We did not have to book. The prices were great for how nice the food was. Will definitely be back!

By the power of Google we found this lovely eatery, would never have found it otherwise. Mexica & Indian sounded like an interesting combo and it works! Food was really good and would definitely visit again when in the area.

Absolutely amazing food and service . Thank you.

Had a birthday party here, amazing service and food. Couldn't recommend more!

One of my favourite places. Staff are so helpful when trying to choose. The idea of Indian-mexican fusion really works. Roti as Tacos to die for. Great vegetarian and vegan options, and they are happy to customise where they can.

Amazing food and great atmosphere. We all tried each other's dishes, and they were all delicious. Interesting combination of cuisines. Well worth the visit.

Amazing, a delight for the tastebuds. My best ever experience of mexican and Indian. Would highly recommend

Myself and a friend shared two starter platters with some extra sides which were very good. Excellent value and great service from the waitress. Well definitely go back for more. Great variety on the menu.

As always we had a wonderful meal, the Indian Mexican fusion is such a great idea. We had beef madras tacos and lamb meatballs to start both really delicious and then kerala beef enchiladas one of the best dishes ever. Fantastic food, really friendly service and good value, my favourite restaurant.

Amazing flavours and big portions. Friendly staff. Highly recommend this great restaurant. Very good value too. Huge variety for both meat eaters and vegetarians.

A fantastic meal full of new and exciting flavours! The staff member was incredibly attentive and really friendly! The Berry drink we had was phenomenal, our taco, frankie, and enchilada were incredibly tasty, and I know we’ll be back to taste the rest of the menu! Really fun food, an easy win if you’re taking family out for something different!

First time visit was not disappointed. Food, service, atmosphere was top gear.good sized portions ,our party of 5 all agreed that we would return to vivo amigo soon.

Really lovely food. Excellent choice for vegans and vegetarian and it was a very large menu so would be hard for anyone to find something they couldn’t enjoy. I also requested something that wasn’t on the menu, and that was very politely accommodated to with no issues. I will be coming back for sure One small thing, would be nice to have a vegan yoghurt/sour cream/mayo in the future to make it an even better menu.

Had lunch here with a few guys from work, really great little place with a cool vibe inside. Very friendly and attentive staff without being over bearing and the food was delicious. Definitely go again. There weren't that many people in when we were there so was a bit quiet, but the decor etc is great inside. Superb

This is one of the best meals I had in 2023! Delicious and unique. So tasty. I highly recommend it. And definitely want to go back next time I visit Cardiff.

Great restaurant! I had the Roti taco and wow! All the boxes were ticked! Great portion great price and really tasty. Service was great the waitress was very caring in explaining menu items and checked up on us throughout our meal. Only loses a star because of crumbs on one of the tables near us that was setup for other customers. I will come back in future again and change my review if it changes! Definitely worth a visit for some goode Mexican/Indo food!

Viva Amigo proved to be the perfect place for our laid back pre-Christmas family gathering to celebrate our lovely daughter-in-law’s 30th birthday! Such tasty food, so reasonably priced. Will return soon!

Had lunch this afternoon. Met Vikram the owner who was an excellent host. Pleasing decor. We had tandoori chicken Quesadilla and lamb albondigas. The latter had a very nice flavour the former needed a bit more of the tandoori masala. For mains we had Jack fruit burrito which was good as was the pulled beef madras burrito and the kerela beef pepper fry enchilada. A nice afternoon. Will be back.

I was pretty excited even if some of my friends were dubious about the fusion. And vindication right at the starter! The Empinadas (both tikka and madras) are absolutely incredible. Wonderfully spiced, soft filling with an excellent crisp and crunchy outer. I could have eaten only those for the trip and will be coming back for more! The mains are equally well managed in terms of the fusion, although I would have liked if they offered some chopped fresh chillies so we could amend the spice level as needed (I would have been happy for more heat in the Beef Madras Roti Tacos, but the flavour was no problem! ) Highly recommend trying out, or just lots of empanadas to take away!

Really enjoyed a tandoori chicken burrito at this place! Every bite, start to finish was full flavour and absolutely delicious. Nice cup of vanilla chai tea too wash it all down after too. Highly recommend trying this place. Really liked the art on the walls, nice touch to accompany the very relaxed atmosphere. Friendly service.

Cant fault the restaurant or the driver. Will order again 👍

absolutely delicious meal and very reasonably priced. loved the indian mexican fusion and the cocktails were spot on. we particularly enjoyed the tapas starter and it was more than enough to share between 2 of us. would highly recommend

Great food and atmosphere - really good value for money! We particularly enjoyed the empanadas and intend to come back and try the rest of the menu.

Food was all absolutely delicious. We mostly had a mix of starters and a quesadilla that we shared between us. If I’m being hyper critical the food was a little bit cold on arrival, but this may have been because they were struggling to find a driver? Restaurant originally forgot to send us the quesadilla but quickly realised their mistake and dropped it round for us, we didn’t even need to message. Food temperature just stops it get full marks on this occasion.

We have always loved the Indo mexican food here. Always flavoursome! We were not disappointed when we ordered a takeaway via Deliveroo. Yummy food, carefully packed and arrived at the time given. Thanks Sukhi

Amazing service - very friendly and great recommendations made by himself! Cocktails made from scratch and happy hour before 6:30, they were amazing! I’ve never had fusion cuisine before and so I was curious as to what it would be like. As a vegan too,...

Fabulous experience! Amazing food and service. My new local :D

Staying for one night near Cardiff, we were looking for something a bit different and found Vivo Amigo. A couple of miles out from the City Centre. Didn’t look much from the outside but the Mexican artwork on the interior walls was impressive. Very good...

Food was delicious, service was quick and staff were helpful and polite. Will deffinatly be returning.

Great service, lovely food. Freshly made drinks - virgin mojito and limeade, from scratch. And they tasted wonderful.

Loved the fusion of Indian and Mexican food! 😋

Great food and service to match. We came here for lunch and it was a great fusion of Mexico meets Asia. Food was fresh, hot and very tasty. We ordered the pulled beef Tacos, elote, followed by roti and enchilada. We really enjoyed it and...

We had lunch here today and we were very impressed. The food was excellent and the portions generous (we took some back to the hotel for later), and the homemade limeade and the virgin mojito were delicious. The service was very good, both polite and...

Fab food, great service. We will definitely be going back again.

What a great little find! We looked for the top restaurants in Cardiff and saw this had great reviews so walked over from the center of town. Lovely food, great atmosphere and extremely reasonably priced. Staff were friendly and added to a lovely evening.

Amazing Indian/Mexican twist on burritos, enchiladas, nachos etc. all great got to be fair

Lovely place to eat the food was spot on the taste was amazing and I would return parking can b hit or miss but definitely worth a visit
