What a lovely a place, my daughters booked this for us as a large group and the food is seriously good. I had the Goat curry which was outstanding but out of the 12 of us there was not a bad meal everyone was happy. The cocktails were well served with a generous portion of alcohol and very tasty. Will definitely be coming back.

My partner and I have frequented Vivo Latino many times since discovering them about a year ago. Never had a bad meal, presentation excellent, food excellent, top quality ingredients, delicious cocktails and the service is impeccable. The menu is a varied selection of delicacies that've been carefully curated by a passionate staff to delight and encourage you to try new and wonderful collabourations. A must visit if you're in the area, they also serve late, so if you're out looking for something delicious you would do well to pay them a visit!

Had a lovely experience at Vivo Latino!! Came on a Sunday afternoon and were greeted so nicely by the owner, who made us some lovely margaritas and advised us on what to eat. Service was quick and food was yummy. The enchiladas and quesadillas were great!!! The churros were also crispy, fresh, and light as they should be. So happy with our meal. Worth the stop if you’re in the neighborhood!

Lovely experience dining at Vivo Latino, I had the jackfruit burrito and my mum had the goat curry, both were really delicious and we loved them. The rice reminded my mum of how her Latina Grandma used to make it. Great sized portions too. The Chef/Owner is wonderful and clearly knows what he is doing with these recipes!

We dined at Vivo Latino this evening with some friends and it was lovely! A great spot for Latino tapas in Cardiff, where the staff couldn’t do enough to help us! So much so we ended up leaving with complimentary Churros in our stomach!! We ordered a variety of tapas dishes, including sweet potatoes, Kibe, Sauteed Chorizo, Conxinhas and the best - BBQ Beef Soft Sheel tacos. A lovely spot for a date night or a catch up with friends
