ABOUT US Viva Cinco de Mayo opened in December 2016 and is located on Madison Ave, in Albany, NY. Since then, we have been creating and serving authentic Mexican dishes to the greater capital district…
These (chicken birria) taco were not only tasty, but they were filled with meat. Wedges of lime, and the birria sauce on the side was wonderful. Elote was sweet and a great start to my lunch. I enjoyed the green sauce I order on the side also, but honestly although I like spicy, I did not need more flavor for these tacos.

The Churros W/Cajeta (2) come 2 in an order, but they're really good-sized and so yummy! The Birria Taco were also pretty good...kind of greasy and not something I'd order all the time, but I wanted to try something different and I wasn't disappointed. I specifically wanted churros, which is why I went Mexican and they were delicious!! 😋

i order at least 2 times a month for over 2 years here and get the Birria Nachos or Birria tacos and Chips & Guacamole and tres leches cake. They're so generous on portions with the meat and cheese and definitely a little too much cilantro. everything is ridiculously fresh. you know it's good when they don't speak a lick of english. as authentic as it gets. ORDER NOW

The Birria Taco with cheese from here is addictive.
I used to get upset when restaurants offered only three tacos, as they weren't enough for my big appetite and often had small portions—more carbs than meat and salsa.
Now, this place has changed that. I always go here for the most satisfying tacos I've had in Albany. Would definitely keep coming back for my Birria Taco.
