Don't miss these Sebastopol Mexican restaurant gems.
“Everything on menu is perfection, excellent food. The creativity of this place is nice to see, the family loves their business and it shows. We have eaten here for years, we both had the Carne Asada Steak with Cancun burrito dinner. The dinner, the steak is large and the large shrimp are cleaned and the burrito so huge with these great flavors and the onion and spices chopped so finely but still have a bit of bite and crunch. And there are chilis that have been roasted on the plate and it is just beautiful.You get your choice of a spinach tortilla soup or this amazing salad which has green and orange tortillas on top of it with this fantastic dressing. And it comes with flour or corn tortillas. It is a huge dinner, cooked perfectly with so much food, you can't eat it all, you are almost full after the soup and salad. No lard is used in their delicious refried beans or on anything they serve. And chips salsa and beans arrive when you first sit down.“
“This is my favorite Mexican restaurant in the US! you MUST come here. It mig. This is a very cute, little restaurant off the side of the road, it might look unassuming, but it is some of the BEST Mexican food you will eat. Parking There's a little parking lot right infront of the restaurant. There aren't a lot of parking spaces but there's always at least one available! Ambiance The restaurant is so cute! It is small and has tons of cool art on the walls. The restaurant has a very nice calm and causal vibe, which is so so nice. Service The service is 10000/10 amazing! The owner is the sweetest most warm, genuine woman you will ever meet. She is so kind and generous and makes you feel so welcome as soon as you walk in the door! She is attentive and provides extremely fast service and even better conversation! You can tell she works hard and genuinely cares about serving amazing food and connecting with people. Her Mexican food is unbelievable, and she also cooks Persian food from time to time! The other staff are amazing as well, I have never had a bad experience here - everyone is extremely nice and friendly and you will get your food immediately because their service is super fast! Food The food is AMAZING. It is some of, if not the best Mexican food I've had in the US. I usually get the Carnitas Super and the Carnitas Tropical Burritos. The carnitas in the burrito are PERFECT and the best I've ever tasted - it is so charred, salty, savory and just the best texture and flavor you will ever have. The refried beans and rice are sooooo soft and fluffy and savory. The white beans in the tropical burrito are soft and chewy and add the best flavor combo with the chipotle apple salsa and corn. The Carnitas Tropical is a must try burrito! The chipotle apple salsa provides the most amazing sweet flavor that balances the salty carnitas so perfectly. They also serve complimentary salsa and chips with every order - the habanero salsa is spicy and SOOOO good that I always order a pint of it to go. They offer the most unique Mexican food that I guarantee you have never tried and they have tons of Vegan and Vegetarian options that are equally as good! Their desserts are also to DIE for...the flourless, vegan chocolate lava cake is insane. You must get this. It is so chocolaty and decadent and you can't tell it is vegan. The cheesecake, cakes and flans also look amazing, but I have yet to try. Overall This is a must try restaurant and one of my favorite of all time. The location, service, ambiance, and most of all the food, are all amazing and make the perfect experience. I will always love Viva Mexicana, and I'm sure you will too!“
“Their burritos are delicious and pretty hefty, which I appreciate. We took the food away, but the restaurant is best described as a beach shack and I mean that in a good way. They have outdoor seating as well. They have a little salsa stand so you can take as much as you want.“
“This taco truck is the best. I live in the south bay, but I am in Sebastapol once a month. Each time I am I in Sebastopol, I must stop at this truck. My son & his friends stop by once a week. My regular order is the Taquitos with Rice & Beans or a Single Fish Taco with Rice & Beans. I get a roasted jalapeño with mine too. My son gets 4 steak tacos.“
“Food is amazing, I always seem to interact with the same cashier and she always acts very kind. They have an amazing business. Birrria Tacos were amazing, breakfast burritos are amazing, California burritos are always stuffed with extra goodies. I have to say this is the only spot in town that closely resembles the quality and taste of Mexican food spots in San Diego!“
“The restaurant setting, decor, and staff are great. The staff is very friendly and efficient. They seem to appear just when you need something, like more chips or salsa. It's great. I just wish there were more options for salads or soups. ?Dietary restrictions: The food is fresh and delicious, however there aren't too many options for a vegetarian or vegan. The Portobello fajitas are vegan and amazing. There are a few salads, but you will need to ask to have some items taken off. They are very happy to accommodate requests.“
“My 8-year old likes their beans and rice (he is picky). My 11-year old likes their carne asado quesadilla (he is not picky). I like their chile verde tacos a lot (I am sort a Mexican food aficionado). You can't beat them for the price. Choices for my vegan wife are not impossible, but kind of, meh, and mostly include just ordering without cheese, sour cream, or meat. Price and location are right and food is better than some, but not crave worthy for me. I do like the creamy avo green salsa they have quite a bit though. I will still come back here when killing time for my son's swim practice at Ive's Pool.Kid-friendliness: My son and I have eaten here several times. They do have arcade games, but not certain they actually work.Parking: Public parking surrounds the building, so parking will never be an issue (unless its Apple Blossom parade or something like that).“
“Rice is good, beans are good, chips are good, meat is good, avocado is great. The one thing is that the meal is missing that flare, something to make it stand out. I would suggest to anyone planning to go there is to save your salsa and throw it into the mix. The chips are good but the salsa is more like hot sauce so doesn't really set the tone for chips and salsa. Unless you are into hot of course.“
