TL;DR: Great service, basic food, sky-high prices.
Walking in the door to Viva Jalisco I was warmly greeted and the service throughout the meal was bright and friendly. Which makes giving them two stars a real bummer, but there’s really no excuse for the gold-plated prices on the sad, mediocre food.
The restaurant was clean, and the decor was stereotypical, but pleasant. The firm bench seating was a bit uncomfortable but I’d have forgiven the cliché atmosphere if only the food had been good.
Ok, so, the food (and the prices). This is where the restaurant loses all its stars. Flavorlss al pastor, spiceless salsa, drab pico de gallo… Honestly I could have gone to Taco Bell and eaten a similar quality meal for a quarter of the price. It was just an “acceptable” burrito. I couldn’t tell that I was eating al pastor. There was no hit of pineapple or char of sugar, no smoky adobo or achiote, nothing to say “hi, I’m al pastor.”
All the food was like that. And just to be sure I didn’t have covid, the Coke and tortilla chips tasted fine. The guacamole actually had some (mild) flavor, but the rest was a total yawnfest. Even the salsa was watery and boring.
Honestly, from the Bellevue-like prices and the menu, Viva Jalisco felt like a white lady Margarita Mom restaurant. Super high prices, low spice, and tired food.

My partner got a burrito and I had the nachos. The food was good and the portions were large. The staff was also friendly and the atmosphere felt nice.My only complaint would be the price for everything. We got two margaritas, a burrito, and the nachos. The total was about $90 with tip included.

We love Viva Jalisco! It has been our go-to Mexican takeout place for years, and we highly recommend the enchiladas rancheras. Deciding to order takeout and not have to cook during any particular evening sometimes feels like a lovely decision; it is even more lovely when the person who answers the phone at the restaurant calls you “my lady” and helps to manifest delicious enchiladas rancheras.
Tonight was our first evening actually dining in the restaurant, and everyone who came in the door got warm greetings and great service. Our kids can be selective eaters, and the staff were patient, kind, and helpful, with a simple bean and cheese burrito for the win.
We highly recommend this place! It’s a little Bothell gem – good food, and a small town family feel.

We went there on a Friday evening hoping that the drinks would be good. But, we have had better. The taco salad that I ordered was bland.
My husband’s quesdilla was ok. We usually take carryout meals for our kids. The waitress didn’t understand that we wanted 2 carryout meals after eating there. She gave us a look.
It felt like they didn’t want Indian people in the restaurant. We didn’t get a good vibe. I can’t come back to eat in there. It was uncomfortable.

Lovely family owned restaurant that has been a staple of the central Bothell community for decades. Comprehensive menu with some vegetarian options. Able to provide a wide variety of drinks options as well. Exceptionally friendly staff.

Stopped by this place for some lunch. We got margaritas and food. We ordered carnitas de Pollo and beef taquitos. The food was excellent. The chicken was well flavored and the grilled veggies with it were cooked well. The beef taquitos were very good. They had crispy edges and cooked soft middles. The rice and beans on both plates were fresh and delicious.

Delicious food. Great service. Small restaurant but it is worth it. Our server Georgina was very helpful and the rest of the personnel was very attentive. Definitely recommend this place to families. The atmosphere is also very relaxing. My wife and I came to eat here on a weekend and it wasn’t that full. Will be coming back to try some other dishes from the menu. I had the pollo macha and my wife the super nachos. Everything was so good. Oh and the churros are yummy. They are filled with cajeta I guess?

True neighborhood gem! I have been a patron of Viva Jalisco for many many years. The quality of their food has been consistent. With its extensive menu, consistent food quality, generous portion size, friendly servers, speedy service, reasonable prices, this is simply one of the best family style Mexican restaurants in the area. LOVE everything about Viva Jalisco!
