I somehow forgot about this place after eating there the first time and really liking it. Went again tonight and it was really good again. I'll have to remember to go back sooner next time.

First time. Enjoyed the atmosphere at lunch. Not to crowded. Ambiance was inviting. Food was great, produce tasted pretty fresh. I enjoyed the poquito puffy taco! Definitely planning on returning.

This unpretentious restaurant really cooks up some good dishes and shakes some good drinks. I have a few favorites I cycle through. Always so good! Verde Enchiladas. Steak Jalisco. Quesadilla with beef fajita. And the fiesta salad with chicken fajita are my favorites! Always get the Mexican martini!

To get five stars, I think you need to be truly special in something and pretty good and everything else. Vivo definitely meets that high bar with truly incredible salsa that you could almost drink straight. The food, service, and drinks are pretty great too. Get yourself some chips, salsa, and a puffy taco - guarantee you won't regret it!

I was so excited to find out this restaurant reopened. I used to enjoy its location closer to UT campus back when I was a student. I used to love the art on the dark ambience, the paintings on the walls, and of course the hibiscus margaritas

Great food and atmosphere. Tables are spread evenly throughout for mask off dining, and seating outside as well.

Vivo has the best food and is my go to for Mexican. The Chile enchiladas and the puffy tacos are amazing! I’m particular about my chips and salsa, and I can’t get enough of either from here.

Great service. Great food. Best puffy tacos north of San Antonio. Covid practices are solid.

The food, hot sauce and margaritas are awesome! I still miss the beautiful patio at the Manor location. I was sad to see that location close.
