Been in ATX since Vivo's was on Manor Rd. Dining here last night at The Linc location brought back so many good memories. The food is still just as good, the atmosphere is pleasant, waitstaff very accommodating, and the patio has a great sunset view (even if it's past a parking lot).

I had a really nice dinner at VIVO last week. The service was friendly, and the chalupas were tasty. I’ve been going to VIVO for many years, since the Manor Road days, and it still is an enjoyable dining experience!

My favorite place to get a drink in Austin. Every cocktail is expertly made with fresh juices in house. The food is great and every single server, hostess, busser, etc are the sweetest, kindest people. Fantastic service and the salsa for their chips is my favorite in town.

Good chips and salsa. Entrees are usually pretty good. Service can be slow at times. All around, one of our go-to Tex-Mex spots.

We are in town for work and VIVO was recommended as a must go to place for mexican. It was so delicious and the service was exceptional. We enjoyed the top shelf on the rocks margaritas, the mini tacos and puff tacos. The chips and salsa are homemade. The sauce has kick to it however tasty.

The chocolate drizzle in the espresso martini was good and the fluffy taco was really good 👌🏾

Great delicious food and friendly service. It is noisy and you need to talk loudly. Overall, a very enjoyable spot!

So yummy, lots of vegetarian options, kind staff. A hidden gem.
The food and presentation of it felt like a high school cafeteria. I sent back the first dish because it was not as described and the second, fish tacos, was delivered in aluminum foil and wax paper, as if at a taco stand. Huh? The place was packed on a Friday night, so I guess others feel differently, perhaps because, the prices are very reasonable. The server and other staff were very sweet.

One of my favorite eats in Aus-Angeles; I've been eating at Vivo's through numerous iterations. FIVE stars for in-store service. All excellent. NO STARS, indeed, negatives stars, for using ChowNow and EZCater, both of whom use whatever drivers they can exploit (whomever is the lowest compensated). ChowNow's policy is that if food arrives up to an hour after it is made, they will not refund. Three times in a row I've had issues: first time, misdelivered. Second and third times, food arrived bone cold. The last time I called and spoke to the manager, who reported the food sat on the to-go shelf for almost an hour. ChowNow would not refund (FWIW, the driver worked for UberEats, whom I encourage folks not to use either, unless cold food doesn't bother you). I am sorry Vivo is losing my.business for all delivery, the don't deserve that, but until they pick a more reliable and responsive delivery service (e.g., DoorDash, who does refund late food) I'd encourage everyone reading this to just go to the physical place. Delivery from here is consistently (for me) a disaster.

Only 4 because it’s too damn loud. Get some curtains and soft surfaces to dampen the sound. You can’t have a date or a family dinner here and talk when it’s busy. Also the regular margarita size is pequeñito

Fresh Mexican food. Atmosphere is dark and happy hour is loud. Popular for teachers and celebrating. I don't drink, but apparently the margaritas are good! Patio is lovely on a nice day. I have had both great service and ehh. Love the food.

Enchiladas were great and so were the beans! The rice was under cooked and crunchy. The queso here was fantastic paired with the light chips I would definitely come back for it. Service was good and quick!
