Vivo Amigo Cardiff is a casual cafe, bar and restaurant at 138 Whitchurch Road in Cardiff. Its Indi-Mex concept brings Indian and Mexican food traditions together, using familiar formats as a base for spices, sauces and fillings drawn from both cuisines.
The smaller plates include masala calamari, halloumi fries, samosa, taquitos and tacos filled with ideas such as pulled beef madras, Fish Amritsari or chilli paneer. Nachos, quesadillas and empanadas continue the theme, making it easy for a group to share several contrasting dishes.
Larger choices range from biryani filled burritos and roti tacos to fajitas, curries and customisable burgers with masala fries. Tandoori chicken, paneer, seafood, chickpeas and vegetables appear across the menu, with vegetarian and vegan options identified in many sections.
Desserts, coffee, wine, beer and cocktails extend the restaurant beyond the main meal, while a separate children’s selection gives families simpler portions and combinations. Dine-in, takeaway and delivery are available, and guests with allergies or dietary requirements should confirm ingredients with the restaurant before ordering.
