Viva Mexican Grocery and Deli — Restaurant in Town of Woodbury

Having explored numerous Mexican eateries throughout upstate, I must confess that my quest for satisfying flavors was met with disappointment—until I stumbled upon this gem. While the interior may not boast flashy decor and the space may not rival the larger establishments upstate, the real treasure lies in the exceptional food they serve.

Now, let's talk about the star of the show—their tacos and burritos. Each bite was an explosion of authentic Mexican flavors that transported me to a culinary haven. The carefully crafted combinations of ingredients showcased the expertise and passion of the culinary team. I can't recommend them enough—truly a must-try!

As much as I'd love to share my experience with tamales, fate seems to play a teasing game, for they are consistently sold out. It's a bit of a disappointment, but it only fuels my determination to try them someday. I've heard fantastic things, and I'm sure they live up to the reputation of their other dishes.

In spite of the unassuming setting, this little eatery captures the heart and palate with its delectable offerings. If you're seeking an authentic Mexican dining experience that triumphs over fancy decor, this place is your best bet. I'm already looking forward to my next visit, hoping to get a taste of those...

Amazing to say the least … Words truly can’t describe how great this place is . From the staff to the food everything is absolutely authentic . I got a steak empanada and steak burrito which both blew my expectations away (This is coming from a Latino who grew up eating this food) . Jonaathan showed so much hospitality by describing the menu and even allowing us to sample some of their fresh soups/stews. I couldn’t be more grateful that i came across this place and will most definitely be coming back to support this family . Thank you...

I’m sorry I have no photos of the three best tacos I’ve probably ever had (camarones, pollo, and carne asada), the beautifully simple and fresh side salad (complete with onion, radish, tomato, and avocado), or my husband’s carne asada enchiladas verde—we were both too busy inhaling them. Do your tastebuds a favor and stop here. If we lived closer, we’d be weekly regulars. We used to live in NYC and hubby called it the best Mexican food in New York state. Gracias,...
