Came here tonight. This is a lovely restaurant all the staff are friendly the service from ordering to table was brilliant every dish we had was fresh and ever so tasty. Plus perfect portion sizes.
I Had plantain crisps to pick at then the amazing meatballs along with patatas bravas. Partner had Tomato and garlic bread followed by patatas aioli, grilled hallumi with a green and red dip (forgot what it's called) and a super fresh mixed salad.
Will definitely recommend Viva Cuba to anyone wanting authentic tapas.
Thanks to all staff for a lovely evening.

We tried this place for the first time recently. Overall the food was good, with the notable exception of the Chorizo. I'm not sure how they managed to make it feel so soft to the point of disintegration. Everything else was tasty. Portion sizes are very good and as I'm sure most people coming here for the first time have done we over ordered. The main let down for me was the atmosphere, the interior feels a bit dated and cheap and the tables weren't big enough for 2 with food drinks on them.
We did have a nice time and we would eat here again. Hopefully a bit of updating to the decor is on the cards.

Food & atmosphere excellent.
Service a tad slow but that doesn't detract from a great night out.
Table of 6 and two dishes each was ample (+ a couple of cheeky ones).
Every dish was excellent. I could recommend loads but the ribs stand out
Highly recommended and will be back.

Viva Cuba is consistently superb. The food portions are huge for the price and everything is absolutely delicious (especially the meatballs & enchiladas). We always end up over-ordering but they are happy to let you take the extras away for later! The staff are really friendly and the beer & cocktail range is great too.

Great little place, we went there for a birthday with a group of 16, we had the mezzanine floor all to ourselves. We also had a guest with a peanut allergy which the staff accommodated for.
The food all came out together and there was plenty of it, enough for a couple of doggy bags to take home.
We've had good feedback from the guests aboutbour visit and will obviously be back again in the future.

I am a simple person who uses a standard baseline to gauge the quality of the restaurant, so a mid week visit to a restaurant is always a good test.
Firstly the staff were amazing and even served the food wearing black fabric gloves, but a restaurant is more than just the staff. It is also about the food and the space.
First the space, it did not wow me. It was a converted ex-bank so it wasn't the biggest space, but we had the luxury of eating in the old vault area which was nice however as a whole the place has gone for a rustic cuban look. Honestly it looks tired and thrown together. That might have been the aim, but did not work for me. Tables are too small when you have loads of tapas bowls/plates, there's hardly enough room for your plate and drink.
Now for the food. As I said I have a simple baseline for anywhere that says they serve 'de la mar' food...can they cook calamari without making it rubbery.
They failed. It was like eating rubber bands. I know it might be slightly harsh, but it's my personal opinion. Also whilst I am on it, should chorizo be squishy? It was squishy, soft and fell to pieces in your mouth, I cannot explain how they made a solid sausage into a semi liquid? How?
Look, for all the critiques it was not too bad. The party as a whole had a great time. No one left hungry and to be honest we might have ordered too much... Oops 😬.
If you're in the area it is worth checking out.

One of the best restaurants in Leeds! The food is absolutely amazing, very good portions for great prices. The service is great (it can get very busy on weekends). Fantastic atmosphere, great for date night or a family get together. 100% recommend, you will not be disappointed!

This is an amazing Cuban restaurant with very kind personnel and a great amount of food for the money you pay ratio. You really feel welcomed and during the night they’re extremely kind in their service.
Thank you for the hospitality and the guidance picking the food! The little take away boxes were incredible as well! Highly recommend to eat here if you’re around Leeds.

Mushroom croquettes were delicious. Favourites like chorizo went down well. Nice ambience. Service was good.

Wonderfully tasty and generous portions for tapas. The staff are so friendly and attentive without interrupting. We went as family group and had a great time with lots food to take home.
The only downside was it's quite a buzzy atmosphere with load music playing, that's fine if you've got good hearing but definitely too loud for the slightly older family, we should have asked for the volume to be turned down, our bad!
