Viva is an artisan Mexican-Latin American tapas & cocktail bar.

A rustic-chic hangout with a backyard patio, inventive craft cocktails and Mexican street food. This is the place if you’re looking for good food, cool drinks, peace, love, passion and an old fashioned in the same shaker.

Have you ever imagined chicken with cinnamon and cacao? Or tiger prawns in coconut milk? Does it sound weird? It’s fantastically weird and wonderful. These are the favourite dishes of many Mexicans and Brazilians. Try their specialty dishes and taste something that’s different and authentic. Quasadillas, Nachos, Chorizos, Ceviches and many more dishes served from the heart of Mexico and Brazil.

All their ingredients are fresh and cooked daily, from their vegetables, meats and free range eggs, they try to source their produce organically from local small businesses in Hackney. Did someone say Cocktails? They are expert potion makers. They are always in search of something different and unique and they can promise you your tastebuds will have a party. Of course they do all the classics on request.

The cocktails and food menu change every 3-5 months according to the season.
