It's a lovely little place serving some brilliant drinks, whether it's a stop off on your way into town or going home it's definitely worth stepping in for a drink. The bar is well stocked, and there are several beers on tap. The cocktail menu is vibrant, and staff know their drinks well. Decor is very creative within the small space, and aboustky has the desired effect of being interesting without being in your face. Coupled with the polite staff, you can't go wrong For large groups id advise booking in advance. To make sure they have a table put together that's big enough for you.

Best mojito’s I’ve had in years, great atmosphere, great food and lovely service. The music is great. It is really great prices, 5 min walk from centre and you get great value for money from an independent business rather than chains in middle. It also has Cuban and Brazilian food, not just Mexican.

Had a lovely experience at Vivo Latino!! Came on a Sunday afternoon and were greeted so nicely by the owner, who made us some lovely margaritas and advised us on what to eat. Service was quick and food was yummy. The enchiladas and quesadillas were great!!! The churros were also crispy, fresh, and light as they should be. So happy with our meal. Worth the stop if you’re in the neighborhood!

Lovely experience dining at Vivo Latino, I had the jackfruit burrito and my mum had the goat curry, both were really delicious and we loved them. The rice reminded my mum of how her Latina Grandma used to make it. Great sized portions too. The Chef/Owner is wonderful and clearly knows what he is doing with these recipes!

don’t recommend if you’re Brazilian. Maybe the other dishes are more authentic, but the coxinhas were definitely NOT coxinhas, taste and look nothing like coxinhas. the food was okay, moqueca was a bit flavourless, but the cocktails were nice- caipirinha did taste like a traditional caipirinha and the batida was just a bit watery. did have to wait over an hour for starters AND drinks. overall just not for me because I was expecting authentic food, but it seems like they cater more to mexican food, which is fine. the staff and environment was lovely though!

My partner and I have frequented Vivo Latino many times since discovering them about a year ago. Never had a bad meal, presentation excellent, food excellent, top quality ingredients, delicious cocktails and the service is impeccable. The menu is a varied selection of delicacies that've been carefully curated by a passionate staff to delight and encourage you to try new and wonderful collabourations. A must visit if you're in the area, they also serve late, so if you're out looking for something delicious you would do well to pay them a visit!

So much so we ended up leaving with complimentary Churros in our stomach!! We ordered a variety of tapas dishes, including sweet potatoes, Kibe, Sautéed Chorizo, Conxinhas and the best - BBQ Beef Soft Sheel tacos.

¡Quiero empezar diciendo que la comida aquí es increíble! Lleno de sabor con un gran giro. Genuinamente buena comida! Es decepcionado por un servicio s****y realmente arrogante. Realmente quiero recomendar este lugar a mis amigos, pero no correría el riesgo de ser expulsados por el servicio recibido. Entiendo que el cliente no siempre tiene razón, pero definitivamente hay una manera de responder a eso y la manera en que nos respondieron no fue la manera correcta en absoluto. Me encantó pero me disgustó al mismo tiempo!

Had a table booked for Valentines dinner at 6 pm. The restaurant was not busy. We got a lovely warm place by a radiator, as we required. We ordered prawn and calamari for starters, prawn spaghetti and buttered chicken penne for the main course. My son had the prawn dinner and it was pleasant. My penne however was stodgy and overcooked, I could only manage to eat half of my portion, I did appreciate the flavour though. I did mention this to an attentive waiter. The dessert of cheesecake and tiramisu was nice 🙂 Tap water had a strange smell and taste to it, a slice of lemon in a jar could rectify the problem. We drank moktails, they were lovely. As I was waiting for my dessert, I felt heavy, as if I had a meal of rocks. The penne and chicken refused to digest. On the way home I started feeling more digestive discomfort. 8 hours after the meal, I was glad that I was home and close to my bathroom. It's 4 am now, and I still cannot sleep, waiting for my stomach to settle. The only other thing I had to eat yesterday was a croissant with coffee 😔 I just wanted to treat myself and my son to an Italian meal on a special day. The day became special for a different reason unfortunately. 😔 All in all, a confused restaurant, Mexican? Indian? Definitely not Italian. With bad food hygiene and very overpriced for what it's got to offer.
