“ I went on a date to Vive Sol tonight and it was great! The inside is very cute and great for a date night. They have a large menu with many delicious menu items, including lots of varieties of enchiladas and burritos. We started with the chips, salsa, and guacamole which were all very tasty. The guacamole was a little bland for my liking, but still very fresh. I had the combination plate with the quesadilla and the guajillo enchilada, and my date has the combination with guajillo enchilada and chile relleno. We both enjoyed our food. I probably wouldn't get the quesadilla again though just because it was just a small tortilla with cheese, without seasoning or meat. Our waiter came by often to refill our drinks and check on us, and everyone who worked there was very nice! They have parking in both the front and back of the restaurant. I'll definitely return for another meal at Vive Sol! ”
“ Best skinny margaritas I've ever had. I get the fish tacos with the salsa on the side - it's a bit too cheesy for my taste. Service is fine ”
“ One of my husband's favourite spots. You can't go wrong with any of the dishes. The staff is always very helpful with making suggestions. Don't sleep on their margaritas - they are really really good! ”
“ This restaurant has been around forever but we've never had a chance to try it. My fiancé wanted Mexican so came here tonight to give it a try. We started with the guacamole and they brought 3 salsas. My fiancé likes all the salsas, a bit spicy. I thought they were a bit vinegary . Guacamole is a generous portion with chopped tomatos on top. Very good consistency but I thought could use a pinch of salt. I ordered the combo plate of chili relleno and beef tostada. Chlli relleno cake with a very tasty sauce. Tostada was good with q slice of tender beef. My fiancé ordered beef enchilada al chipotle and loved it! He said the sauce was unique -- smoky, spicy , and very tasty. It's a bit pricey for Mexican food but it was very good. Wait staff was also very friendly. I can see why this place is so popular. ”
“ Whenever I come and visit my family in Mountain View, I always request this place. My family introduced me to mole about 10 years ago when I first visited them in California. Now, this is what I will only order when I get Mexican: Mole poblano. The restaurant is family friendly with home cooked Mexican meals. It is always very packed so it's always best to book reservations in advance. Will always come back here to satisfy my mole cravings! ”
“ I visited Vive Sol on Cinco de Mayo, expecting it to be extremely busy, but was pleasantly surprised to be seated quickly and served food in no time! They greeted us with chips (which tasted slightly stale), but the variety of salsas made up for it. Their smoky medium red salsa was my favorite among the three spice levels. For my main dish, I ordered the Aztec tortilla soup which was massive in size and packed with delicious flavors - the crunchy tortillas, gooey cheese, and savory tomato broth were the perfect combination. Our server was incredibly attentive and friendly, making the dining experience even better. I did find the margarita to be a bit strong and expensive, but overall, I had a great time. I'm definitely planning on coming back, perhaps at a less busy time. ”
