Well we rushed down to the new venue for Viva Mex­i­co this evening and thor­ough­ly enjoyed that they’d almost com­plete­ly run out of stock!

Viva Mexico

Luck­i­ly they agreed to sell us what they still had… which was some pret­ty good enchi­ladas.

Viva Mex­i­co has just relo­cat­ed to the Left­bank after mov­ing out of the Welling­ton mar­kets with the impend­ing con­struc­tion of the Water­mark. Per­son­al­ly I think this isn’t a bad thing for them, because they’re clos­er to “the action”. And, the sell­ing out of stock is a good indi­ca­tion of what they might have in store.

Mind you, you have to wan­der way the hell down the back to find them.

The food is real­ly rea­son­ably priced, at $13 for the biggest plate of any­thing, and is about as authen­ti­cal­ly Mex­i­can as you’ll get in Welling­ton.

Sweet Moth­er’s Kitchen?! You’ve got some real com­pe­ti­tion for the resur­gent Mex­i­can-food mar­ket!
