But then just how loco is Viva Verde? Let’s check with Chef Hugo. Chef Hugo has been spinning delicious dishes at Viva Verde for quite some time now, dishes that have kept customers loyal for as long as I can remember. His recipes are highly coveted. Star dishes on the menu include the Guacamole, which is a tasty avocado-based dip, spread, or salad synonymous to the Aztecs of Mexico. His variations are the tableside and the loaded Guacamole. Mmm, I love ceviche. It will always remind me of Mexico! It brings to mind my never-ending quest for more ceviche and guacamole. And of course my Mexican friends, some of which also share this ceviche obsession. And what do I do, I introduced my new friends to Viva Verde where they have the best ceviche and watch them catch the buzz.

When it comes to dessert sort of the Tres leches with berries. For newcomers to this treat, what you have here is a very simple popular cake recipe in Mexico and Central America. Very light in texture, this deliciously moist cake received its name because it is soaked overnight in three kinds of milk. Imagine sweet delicate cake prepared Mexican style. No infiltration, nothing but moist sweetness. If someone is offering the Tres leches with berries, chances are it will be good and the one served at Viva Verde is amazing. It was very flavorful with an unexpected zing to it. In fact, it is so very sweet and tasty that it demanded the accompaniment of a cocktail to complete the experience.
