Why Locals Love Benito Juárez Tex-Mex & Margarita CC VIVA
Benito Juárez Tex-Mex & Margarita CC VIVA is a vibrant Mexican restaurant nestled in the heart of Barranquilla, Atlántico, Colombia, offering an authentic fusion of traditional Mexican flavors with a Tex-Mex twist.

If you’re in the mood for something lighter or shareable, the inventive take on pizzas served on flour tortillas offers a fun Tex-Mex twist.

I took a friend here on a Wednesday afternoon around 2:30PM. It was nice enough, the music was at non-assault volume so my guest and I could hear each other speak, and it wasn't crowded, and so we got the waitress' near-full attention. They had a 2-for-1 drink special, which was one of the selling points. Even though the waitress kept trying to make us place a larger order we ordered a small mixto platter to go with our tasty margaritas. The food itself was acceptable, flavorful enough, etc. and anyway, they had 2 different hot sauces on each table ready to go If you want a quick, no-frills "tex mex" meal, Benito Juarez at Viva Mall can fit the bill.
