"Authentic Mexican, no fuss, cash only, tacos! Viva México offers an assortment of authentic, $2 tacos. Like most simple and successful taco joints, it's the preparation that goes on behind-the-scenes that makes this little spot key. The carnitas are cooked over a low heat for hours, becoming moist and tender. Get started with the Campechanos, then proceed to getting adventurous with ear, stomach, tongue, shoulder, and rind. Wash it all down with a Jarrito and continue your exploration." - Colada Collective
"Located right off the hustle and bustle of Calle Ocho, Viva Mexico is a brightly colored taqueria serving up some of Miami’s favorite tacos. Opt for the offal tacos like leguna (tongue) or tripa (cow intestine) that are restaurant signatures." - Olee Fowler
"Taqueria Viva Mexico is a casual Mexican spot with a pretty straightforward menu of dishes like sopes, gorditas, and some of Miami's best tacos. Stay away from the more common taco variations like carne asada or al pastor (which are just alright) and instead go for the less common (at least in Miami) versions like oreja, lengua, and tripe, which this place excels at. Taqueria works great for a casual meal, but the drinks are also tasty and affordable, so keep it in mind for a fun dinner before a night out." - ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo
"Taqueria Viva Mexico is a casual Mexican spot in Little Havana with a blue exterior and colorful papel picado hanging from the ceiling. The key here is to stay away from the more common taco variations like carne asada or al pastor (which are just alright) and instead go for the less common (at least in Miami) versions like oreja, lengua, and tripe, which this place excels at. The oreja and tripe in particular are incredibly tender and delicious. Plus, they give you generous sides of salsa and taco toppings so you can customize to your liking." - virginia otazo, ryan pfeffer
"There’s a surprising amount of Mexican food in Little Havana. One of the standout spots is Taqueria Viva Mexico, which offers street-style tacos at an affordable price. Keep it simple with an order of chicken tacos, or get brave with lengua or tripe. Finish the meal with a Mexican soda." - Amber Love Bond
