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!

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.

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.

We love this place, and after trying a bunch of places, it's our go to when we're in Sebastopol. The proprietor is great, there are often interesting non-Mexican specials, there are good veggie options, and it's affordable!

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.

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!
