Viva Mexicana

Wonderful lunch! Had the quesadilla and it was great! The chicken was in their special marinade. Food came fast and service was great!

Best Mexican food in Sebastopol, hands down. Clean place, fast service and very delicious dishes. Server wore mask and gloves when serving our food. They also have beautiful and colorful posters for sale as well as wine, cheese, and much more. Highly recommend this spot. I'm definitely coming back.

We had dinner at a delightful restaurant in Sebastopol! The food was really delicious and well prepared! They take care to offer vegan, gluten free, and vegetarian options! Solid place for anyone. The staff was exceptional! Super friendly and knowledgeable, plus while we dined in, the server greeted everyone by name! They seem to have a dedicated and devoted following! We had vegan tamale plate, vegan sopes plate and a vegan elote! All so good! Their watermelon aqua fresca was next level! So fresh and tasty! We really enjoyed our experience and would recommend this place to anyone! Viva good food!

Excellent! My diet is vegan and GF, so coming here is a treat! Friendly service.
Oh! And I love their hot sauce! (no vinegar!)

Finally stopped here for the first time and was so impressed! Lots of veggie options, unique combos, and good looking meat options, too.
I had the mushroom and broccoli burrito, and it was delicious.
The owner was there and super friendly. Colorful and clean interior decorated with paintings for sale from a Mexican artist.
Total gem of a restaurant, especially if you're looking for healthy organic Mexican food with true veg options. I'll definitely be back!

I grew up in Sebastopol. This place was just a window next to a donut shop. They've since expanded into the neighboring shops and they deserve it! Since I moved away there have been plenty of new uppity Mexican places that have popped up. I'm looking at you Papas Y Pollo. But nothing can compare to the tasty authenticity of Viva Mexicana. Everything has flavor here and there really isn't any reason to go anywhere else.

I noticed a sign for the happy hour here and finally stopped by for a burrito and a margarita. The owner was so friendly and helped me feel right at home. Every element in the burrito was scrumptious and so satisfying. It was more bland than other burritos but I found that really comforting. I liked it that way so I didn’t ask for hot sauce or anything. The margarita was delicious and came in a mason jar which I love. My friend ordered the sopas and really enjoyed those too. Excited to go back and try the Mexican lasagna we heard about. Happy hour gives you $2 off margaritas which is awesome!

This place is a sebastopol gem. To begin, the menu offers vegan gluten free choices to be at the front of healthy thoughtful food. There is a large menu with standard mexican served with a twist of west county. I ordered the super duper nacho plate with grass fed beef and it was delicious. Great flavor with freshness describes the food. In the chicken taco there were hints of citrus marinate. It brightened the flavor of chicken without being over powering. The service was excellent and the atmosphere was inviting and clean. On the walls hanged original art from a oxaocan latinx artist. The self taught artist clearly had control of his water color medium. The art seemed to synthesize Frida Khalo, tarot cards, and medieval art. It was both beautiful and interesting with a feeling of ancient civilizations. Finally, the reason I will return is for the salsa and pico de gallo. They are served with corn chips.They both had great zesty flavor with enough of a smokey bite on the salsa to keep your attention. This place is easy to miss and looks very unassuming. Dont be fooled, this place is great!

Fabulous vegan dishes, clearly labeled and promoted by the business. Gratitude burrito is killer. Eggplant mix burrito is great (this was an off menu adjustment). Oat-meat tacos great. Vegan horchata delicious. Vegan desserts delicious. So glad I FINALLY came into this place! Now it’s one of our go to vegan takeout joints!

Very solid food. Great value

I heard great things about this place and gave it a try. Great fresh food and amazing staff. The menu is perfect.

Best Mexican food around, period. Eat a few al pastor tacos 🌮 and tell me that isn’t just something special

We have been in the North Bay for 10+ years - Can't believe I didn't know about this place!
For veggie or vegan foodies looking for excellent traditional yet healthy and tasty Mexican: this is the place! Many different options for burritos, tacos, salads, etc. All deelish!
Also Seema/Sima the proprietor was a really great hostess- friendly and helpful. Definitely a food enthusiast who appreciated quality creative food that is healthy and vegetarian, including vegan and G-F.
Highly recommend Viva if you love Mexican and are tired of Chipotle.

A must for vegans. We got the butternut squash enchiladas and the gratitude burrito which apparently are the two most popular vegan items on the menu. I can definitely see why. The food surpassed expectations. I’ll be returning to try some of their other items too since they had so many vegan options.

Gratitude burrito is Dank ( really really really good)!! Huge Vegan menu which is perfect Muah & for Sebastopol! They do a great job with flavors and textures♡
Had the Vegan Horchata too and that was Amazing!
Definitely gonna be my Go to Spot. Aaand definitely gonna try the Vegan Huevos Rancheros next time. Brekkie All Day! Woot woot!

Thanks for the love y'all put in the food you bless us with

In love with the vegan butternut squash enchiladas! Delicious combination. Sauce is just on the edge if too spicy for me but the beans and rice help mitigate that. Nice folks, too. My husband gets the tacos.

Very tasty pastor and chicken! The pastor had a sweetness I wasn't expecting but it was a nice change from the typical pastor flavor. Got the super burritos of each and they were delicious and a good amount of food!

Best in Sebastopol! We’ve tried a few of their vegan options since moving back into town this year, also the chile relleno burrito, fish burrito, and I used to be hooked on their al pastor super quesadilla like a decade ago. All are fabulous!! As are the desserts, drinks, and service. So glad we live close again and get to enjoy Viva Mexicana on the regular.

Yummy! This little place is easy to drive by, as we did, and glad we turned around to eat lunch here. I had the La Grinella, a chicken burrito with white beans and marinated chicken, the sauce was outstanding! My husband had the carnitas burrito and devoured it. Service was super helpful and very nice, he even brought out water for our dog. Eat here, you won't regret it!

Amazing place and one of our most frequently visited restaurants during this pandemic. Tons of veggie options but they also do great meat dishes which is perfect for my family since we have some vegetarians and non-vegetarians in the house. Super burrito is massive and I usually make two meals out of it. Salsas are on the spicy side but homemade and so good. Homemade chips too. Always fresh. Highly recommend!
