Vivo Latino in Cardiff

Delicious food and really lovely workers. The atmosphere was a nice vibe just a bit quiet so more people should go!!! I really recommend, you won’t regret it

Friendly staff, amazing food and relaxing environment.

First time visiting. Food was delicious service excellent and food arrived quickly. Good price as well will definitely be returning

Delicious authentic Latin American food. Great service from caring staff.

Excellent food and service, would highly recommend.

The place is very nice, the people who served us were very friendly, just as a recommendation the tacos are served with the hot tortilla and the meat was a little tough, it would be correct to put it in the oven on steam and add a little butter on top at the end just to make it juicier

Great place to go for authentic Brazilian food from an independent restaurant. Cocktails at a good price and quite punchy! Fantastic service

Food was incredible. Kitchen was closed but still cooked the food we asked for. Will definitely be back!! 5*

Always great food never disappoints. Cocktails taste great

The food was great and we ate every crumb. Amit, the staff was so so helpful and kind. He went above and beyond! Thanks!

again. A good restaurant, I recommend it to everyone, the food is delicious 10/10000 Our waiter was a young guy, somewhere between 19 and 18 years old, Lasha, he was a very nice guy, he was kind, we liked him

Amazing food. Bartender was very accommodating towards us with gluten free options and made the drinks very quickly for us.

Enjoyed everything that we ordered, staff were friendly and attentive. They were always on hand. I will be eating there again when I’m in Cardiff next. Treated ourselves to some of their cocktails while we were there too. Very tasty. 😀 All in all we had a great time great food.

Went here for my birthday with friends. Absolutely fantastic food and atmosphere. Staff were very attentive and really jolly and lovely. Fab fab night. Would defo go again. ... thank you...

Great food, attentive service and atmosphere. Recommended.

Cool menu, I enjoyed the visit a lot.

Tried this place for the first time tonight for my birthday and it was gorgeous. The food is incredible and the service! Our server was so lovely and they made me feel so special giving me a mocktail and cake (he checked if I was interested in alcohol but I'm pregnant) we had loads of tapas dishes and all of them were soooo flavoursome. Can't wait to go back and try more from the menu. Definitely 10/10 from me!

Poppped in on the off chance for a pre concert meal. Despite there being a small step to enter, assistance was offered immediately and plenty of room found for both me and my wheelchair. Lovely food, great price, excellent decor. Top that with very attentive staff ( without being intrusive) and what more could you ask? Hidden gem

Delicious food and good service. The drinks were a bit slow but apparently they were a barman down on that Friday night so the poor lad was working on his own trying to fulfil a constant stream of cocktail orders! Would happily go here again, so many amazing looking dishes to choose from that you can't eat in one sitting!

Excellent meal with friendly service

It was amazing, and Amits service was fantastic ! I went with my partner and mom, and the experience was amazing Superb Mexican food

Found this little gem in Cardiff while looking for a mexican fix. We had fantastic food, enchiladas and fajitas with pulled beef nachos to start. The flavours were really tasty and very authentic. 2 for 1 cocktails, who can't complain with that! Staff were very friendly and we'd definitely come again. Would recommend to anyone and we'll come again, we came as a couple, but the venue is family and big party friendly.

We were welcomed by Amit who explained and helped us pick our food and through the our stay made sure everything was perfect. Food was amazing!

Great food place for a date only great food and service. Chilli con carne was unbelievable and perfect spice. Chicken quesadillas was the same aswell

Came here with 8 friends, Had the absolute best experience with incredible food. So glad I came, couldn’t recommend this place more. We had the best customer service by Amit, if you come here I recommend chatting with him as he’s so accommodating and lovely to talk. This place might just become a regular visit. Thank you so much!

Fantastic food and brilliant service from Amit throughout!! Made my friends birthday special!! I will definitely be back for bottomless brunch

Pretty authentic! I’m American and am usually somewhat skeptical of Mexican/Latino places in Europe. Glad I took a chance here. This place was great and the chef and owner is very passionate. Good prices too.

Gone here a few times, always great food, good atmosphere and friendly staff

There was very attentive service, lovely food in a relacxed atmosphere follwed by a complimentary plate of churos. I will definately visit again

Great service and food. So yummy and amazing drinks :))

Service was great, most dishes were good. I had ribs, which were pretty average tbh @£20 I feel that was too expensive. However would visit again to try something else.

Excellent food, drinks, service, decor & music. Can't wait to go back and try more on the menu.

Utterly perfect tapas experience

Lovely bottomless brunch, food and cocktails were great value. Would recommend 👌

Amazing food with kind and attentive staff. Would gladly go again.

Very nice food, staff friendly and food served well and in good time. Great value and location is convenient for Cardiff Central. Thanks

Really friendly restaurant & bar with a huge choice of lovely food.

We went for our sons birthday. Amazing !!!! REAL MEXICAN FOOD. Best Mexican restaurant I have ever eaten in. Real fresh authentic food. Generous portions, excellently priced food and drinks. Check out their website for all promotions.

Wonderful little place, great food and service, defo would recommend

Decided to give Viva Latino a try tonight as somewhere different and wanted something closer to home considering the weather recently. First time here and definitely will not be the last. Excellent food, incredibly tasty and great sized portions providing fantastic value for money. This is a little gem of a restaurant and deserves to be visited. Good choice of cocktails, including a decent selection of 2-4-1 without any silly timing restrictions.

Tasty food but smaller portions for the price. Enjoyed cocktails.

Great people & service with mouthwatering food 👌

A selection of dishes from Latin countries, revisited. I don't recommend the pisco sour.

Amazing food, amazing staff. Lovely place to eat !

Excellent. Delicious varied tapas and perfect cocktails. Great service in a fun decorated lively venue. Thank you. We will be back

Popped in for lunch after staying in Cardiff Bay for the night. Warm welcome, nice atmosphere and great decorations and art on the walls. Had lamb meatballs for starter and enchilada for main. Food was fantastic, I loved the kick from the sauce the meatballs were in, and was very happy with the enchilada, never before had a freshly cooked one from a restaurant. My only regret is that I wasn't more adventurous, but will be next time.

Fabulous bottomless brunch, with fast service, authentic menu and great value for money!! Atmosphere and decorations are a plus, and the staff are lovely

Very friendly staff with nothing too much trouble and was made very welcome throughout the visit. The food was absolutely amazing and a great price too. Food and drink for £10 each and was enjoyed by myself and my partner so much that we have booked for Thursday night and cannot wait for the main menu and drinks

What a great place this is. The ambience seems mexican when you first walk in but it's really more south American. All the staff were really nice and the food was excellent. The fajitas were very good. Very much enjoyed it.

Best enchilada I've ever had, very good service and the cocktails are great. I'd definitely recommend

Asked not to be filmed while eating here after they had a phone on me for over 5 minutes and the manager ensured that I would not be filmed anymore. They contined taking videos including the one mentioned below. Low and behold a week later I'm on their TikToc reel, no common decency shown

The best Calamari and Churros we have ever tasted, and we have tried many. The cocktail menu is the most thoughtful we have ever seen. Top notch waiter service and chef Ram (owner) and corresponding hospitality is not to be missed. We have already recommended to 2 other couples because this place must not be missed.

This restaurant was amazing! We visited on valentines day and the setup was great. The service was phenomenal, we were never left waiting and all staff were extremely polite, happy and eager. The food was also out of this world, very passionate chef!! I would only encourage those to pay the restaurant a visit! Amazing prices too :)

Absolutely Sublime, everything from the food to the service was perfect. Its so hard to find real authentic Latin food but Vivo Latino is the place to go! The peruvian goat curry was incredible, the Mole plabano was fantastic and the Empanadas are a must have! Cannot wait to come back

Great staff, wonderful food! Definitely visiting again on our next Cardiff trip.

Excellent meal and service on what was a match day. Superb food

Second time visiting here and the food was just as good as the last visit. Staff were very attentive. The latin bread is delicious and the burger I had was lovely, it was obviously home made. The portions are very generous and we left feeling full and happy

Wonderful food cooked as ever by Ram . Beautiful colourful surroundings . Lovely friendly staff . Love this restaurant , been as a couple and in a large group , always excellent.

Fab little restaurant just outside the city centre. Well worth a visit. Lovely fun atmosphere with an excellent variety of dishes on the menu. They have added a host of new offers such as 2 for 1 cocktails and weekday lunchtime specials. We’ve taken our teenagers there too and they loved it. Fully recommend.

Just finished a delicious meal in Vivo Latino. Service was outstanding, great Latino atmosphere and most of all the food was amazing!! Beautifully presented and everything was flavoured well and cooked to perfection. The chef knew exactly how we wanted our food to taste and added more spice to our goat curry as we asked, it was delicious. Definitely be going there again next time we visit Cardiff 👌😋😋

Ram was an absolute start . He made our evening feel so lovely.

Great food and amazing drinks. I think the lady behind the bar was Arju and she ensured we were well cared for and an empty glass didn't last long, amazing bartender!

Absolutely loved the delicious latino tapas and cocktails served here. We had the express daytime deal and it was a colourful explosion of tasty plates. There were plenty of options for everyone but we can highly recommend the vegetarian options. Colourful and vibrant restaurant setting and we can’t wait to come back and try more! Quiet during our daytime visit but we still loved it.

Absolutely superb. Couldn't ask for more. Amazing food and service. Feels like a real find. Go there!

Fantastic friendly service and absolutely delicious food. The choice of food was excellent. I will definitely come back. The atmosphere was authentic which made our meal even more special.

A fabulous restaurant with very friendly staff. The food was absolutely delicious and the menu offered a wide choice of savoury and sweet dishes. Cocktails were very reasonably priced. A beautifully, authentic place to dine and I will definitely return.

Welcome was great, good cocktails ask AMIT to make it, he knows his drinks. Chef was very kind to serve us food, it was very good. Classic nachos, and drum sticks to go for, and Brazilian chicken curry was amazing. Highly recommended 😊

It Was out Xmas staff night out there was a big group of us 22 all in all ! Perfect location, food was 5/5 and service was amazing and great value ! I would highly recommend and I will be visiting again

Great place. Great staff. Went for a bottomless brunch. Service was excellent, friendly staff. Would recommend. 10/10

Fantastic restaurant especially if you live nearby a great selection of food and generous drinks options definitely could become your regular spot.

Food delivery ordered through Uber eats. Delivery took ages, called the restaurant and they claimed it had been delivered. I explained it hadn’t. Numerous calls between the restaurant and the driver. It took another half an hour to get to the bottom of the fact that the driver was in the wrong place. The driver called me demanding my location which I didn’t need to give because the address was on the app. The driver then arrived at my house with food to hand me the bag that he’d just delivered elsewhere. I was expected to eat ice cold food which had been accepted by someone else only to open it and discover that I had also been sent the wrong items. Terrible service, quality, attitude and clearly awful hygiene. Still awaiting a refund as the restaurant has left the order pending on purpose. Avoid!!!

Really nice place with delicious food

Loved it! Varied Mexican - Latim American menu, beautifully executed.

We had a great Mexican / South American dinner. We shared a variety of starters and mains and we loved them.

Food was ok. Chicken quesedillas and spiced potatoes were nice but unfortunately both tacos (chicken and cauliflower) were just overpowered by the balsamic glaze. The steak in the fajitas was very fatty as well. To top it off, there was one group that was very loud and swearing a lot across the restaurant and management didn't say anything to them which was disappointing. Overall, I wouldn't go back again.

Best customer service Ive experienced and the food was amazing, definitely will be back again and highly recommend!!!

Great service and atmosphere. The mole and enchilada were very tasty... Tacos were cold. We would visit again :)

Amazing service and food was stunning! Bottomless brunch is definitely a recommendation 😊 drinks were fast flowing and yummy too!

Amazing food at a great price. The atmosphere was very relaxing, with a live performer singing and the staff were very friendly. Quick service. Will definitely be coming back and have recommended to everyone since my visit.

Ristorante latino di buona qualità, molto gentili e sorridenti i membri dello staff. Il cibo è abbondante e molto buono.

Absolutely amazing food and atmosphere, came with my boyfriend last night can't rate this place enough we had albondigas and fish curry with tortilla chips and some starters absolutely amazing will be coming back here again!! Customer service was great really lovely atmosphere and the singer was really good as well! Great to support a local independent restaurant as well ❤️

Ce restaurant mexicain est une belle découverte à Cardiff. Les plats sont savoureux et très copieux, et juste suffisamment épicés pour donner un prétexte à commander une seconde bière.

We had a large group booking 25+ people & from initial contact with the restaurant the whole process was faultless. They made organising & pre ordering incredibly easy. Everyone enjoyed the evening & the food was delicious. I wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant & will absolutely...

It's one of the the best restaurants in cardiff the staffs are great and they services and it's great experience for me and my family had great time and best cocktails.

I wanted to enjoy a nice meal but was left disappointed. The strongest flavour coming through was the cheese. Fatty beef

Had the brunchless menu, food was excellent drinks were topped up really quick, Dave and the other barman were really friendly, highly recommended!

The vibe is all about the Latino! Amit is the BEST cocktail maker. Ram produced the finest enchilada’s and the service was impeccable. Great atmosphere and the food is to die for. Definitely coming back here!!

Just had lunch here and it was absolutely amazing. The food was super tasty and the service was wonderful. Amit looked after us they whole time perfectly.

Amit was a superstar! The food was delicious (I had the goat curry) and the drinks were wonderful. Would highly recommend.

Absolutely fabulous food done by Ram. drinks server David was fantastic and catered to all needs. Very friendly atmosphere. Definitely recommend a visit. We booked for next month. Xx

As a Brazilian I'm pleased to say they have great caipirinha! Lovely atmosphere, lovely staff and wonderful food!

Been here a few times and always had a great experience. The food is great, lovely cocktails, great service and good value. I'll be going back again.

Great food. Great service good cocktails. Great night out.

We went Saturday for bottomless brunch this booking was a very large booking of 19 we can all say the food and drinks was amazing and will definitely be back again the only issue we had was the younger waiter was slightly abrupt and rude to a few guest but it was a very large group we will just put it down to being this,also they put happy birthday balloons up and alowed us to come down early to decorate and they plaited the cake up for us and added some extras on the cake and we was very grateful for these extras the cake looked amazing,we will definitely be recommending this restaurant for bottomless brunch to friends and family and others and will definitely be booking again soon.Thank you to all the staff we really appreciate how special you made our day and can not wait to book again soon.

We had tapases and drinks here yesterday. Everything was exceptionally tasty, including drinks. It was a perfect example of something I've been saying; food can be spicey without being painfully hot. We all loved it. Great athmosphere and service, staff seemed to enjoy their work and it shows in everything. We'll be coming back every time we'll be in Cardiff, thank you for excellent time!

We were having a party in the house for my wife’s 40th and wanted catering so I e mailed Vivo Latino enquiring if they could do anything for us. Chef Ram was prompt in replying and very flexible and accommodating and provided a menu for...

Absolutely brilliant food. Don't forget to grab the blood orange sorbet. It's delightful

We had an excellent dinner here on Sunday evening in August 2023. Relaxed atmosphere, the staff looked after us, food was really good (we had the veggie fajitas, the mixed fish platter, desserts, wine, beer and cocktails). Very good price at £70 for the two...

Superb food with great service. The staff were very accommodating, professional and friendly. Would definitely recommend this lovely place 😊
