Viva Mexican Cantina

Great food & service in an amazing setting I have never been disappointed! Must try the sangria as it is the best & the nachos.

Accommodating to my dietary restrictions and nice atmosphere. A family favourite

Great waitress, excellent food. Good night. Never disappointed coming here. Had a jug of hibiscus tea, was the best drink I’ve ever had there. Will be coming back.

I had heard really good reviews so I was expecting it to be really great. It was average. Wouldn't go back. It was quite pricey.

Great food. Great atmosphere and very friendly staff. The place was well kept and quiet. The candle lights and dim lighting also added well to the experience. Highly recommend.

The food was lovely and the staff were friendly and efficient. Myself and my friends had a very good night. Easy to make reservation online as well.

The service was excellent - the staff were friendly and enthusiastic. The food was of high quality and was presented very nicely. The decor was fun and inviting.

We always love half price nacho Mondays. Serving sizes are very generous

A regular family favourite for us! We never leave unhappy.

always an enjoyable night out and my 8yo son thinks the food is perfect!

love viva always friendly staff great atmosphere and delicious food options

Great food, with a cosy atmosphere. Great place to also sit outside and enjoy the beach view. Great friendly service, and a great variety of drinks to choose

The Best location, food and service Thanks to All at Viva Semaphore 😉 Viva Semaphore has become a tradition on all Special occasions or not Sue n Mereda xx

Food was delicious with a good wine and beer selection. Good for groups or for two. Great location and decor. We go there again and again.

Delicious food and we had a beautiful spot right by the window to watch the sunset. We will make sure that we return here again.

Entree was late (nachos), then they brought the mains out one minute after the entree, so mains then had to be sent back and redone.

We had a great night out, the food was really good and the venue is well situated with a lovely view of the beach. Would definitely go again.

This restaurant may appear just like a regular building, but the food and service is amazing. The service is thorough and rapid. They can never seem to do enough for you, and they are always happy to cater for any changes you want to make in your order. The food - OMG! The food is so tasty and of a good serving. It is wholesome, and they don't skimp out. You will not be sorry. We were there three nights in a row, and if it wasn't for work obligations, we would've continued. SENSATIONAL!!

I booked on the system to recieve a phone call a couple of hours later no tables available! Make sure to book by phone only!

There was a wide range of meal and drink choices available which arrived really quickly after ordering. The food was very tasty and the service excellent.

These guys have the best nachos on earth. Been going there for years and by far the best around. Anywhere else just pales in comparison

Nice cosy Mexican Cantina with friendly & attentive staff. Beautiful view of the beach from the balcony & even some of the inside tables & food was yum :)

We had a really good time, the size of the serves are very genarous. The location and the views are awesome. The staff were very friendly.

friendly staff, lovely food and lots of it. The half serve of nachos is enough to fill two people. Nice view out over the water.

Great food and drinks, easy going relaxed restaurant - great beach view! The staff were very friendly and you were never waiting for drinks or the table to be cleared. Well done!

The food was fantastic, the atmosphere was great. Great views over semaphore beach & parkland. What let it down was the service of the outside tables. The staff don't seem to remember the customers sitting out on the balcony very often. I would still eat there again, i just hope I'll have an insided table.

Always love the food and my son loves the Tamarando drink but sometimes service can be slow and they mixed up our drinks order and charged us for three wines instead of one. Fortunately I picked up error before we left. Waitress seemed a bit annoyed to rectify.

The staff absolutely made our experience what it was - amazing. Your staff are so genuinely friendly and delightful, they were the best part! The food was great as usual and the frozen lemon marguaritas rocked as well :) Thanks for a great night.

The food was great as usual but they forgot our nachos and came out with our mains before anything else which was a bit of a problem. We ended up getting all of our food but there was a long wait until anything happened (the nachos came out about 5 minutes after they realised we were missing them). Also they've stopped selling cans of soft drink so the drinks were a bit expensive. Otherwise, pleasant and we'll definitely go back.

Food was delish (as always) and staff were all so friendly and happy to assist with food and drink choices. Can't wait to go back!

Great atmosphere, amazing food seriously the best nachos I've ever had! Awesome selection of cocktails, really friendly staff and great views! What more can you ask for??

Staff were friendly and the food was delicious. The entree was a little bit slow to arrive but the mains arrived relatively quickly. Very satisfied overall.

One of our families favourite places to eat. Fantastic location. Great food and lots of it. Service was fantastic. Staff were very friendly. Highly recommended.

We were really happy with all of the food and the staff were really lovely. Thanks for a great night, we will be back again.

really enjoyed the food, great drink selections was a lovely atmosphere, staff were fantastically presented with day of the dead masks, would definitely go back

Always loved Mexican it's a cute little place on the seaside. Good food and good service and equally good atmosphere. Will return. Thanks for good night. And really good non frozen mango margaritas.

The food was nice, but the margaritas and sangria were lacking. The manager came out and argued with a customer who was not happy with the service and left. Service was hit and miss.

Went here for my husbands 30th, food was Nice. The service was service and waiters not overly friendly or helpful. Location was Nice location. Overall probably wouldn't go back

Great atmosphere, great food, great service, very affordable. Parking in the area is difficult, but not really an issue. Would highly recommend this restaurant to all.

The experience was not the best as the staff forgot our drinks order which we then had to remind them of after about 45 mins. Then they also forgot our food order which apparently was misplaced. When I asked the young male waiter about 1 hr later he said in a flippant manner that they were busy. in the meantime 2 other groups that had arrived at the restaurant got their drinks and their meals before we even got our drinks which we had ordered about an hour before the others arrived. There was no offer of a discount for the double muck up or a free drink thrown in which I found to be very disappointing. I would think twice about going again as they seemed to be understaffed and quite disorganised. Being a Saturday night you'd think there would be more staff on deck.
