Viva Mexicana is an authentic Mexican restaurant founded by Carmen Ruiz, who set out to bring traditional flavours from scratch-made dishes to the Okanagan, opening in Lake Country during the pandemic and later adding a second Vernon location. The restaurant serves a broad menu of tacos, burritos, enchiladas, tamales, and seasonal specials like Sunday pozole, alongside a Mexican grocery section where cyclists can pick up authentic ingredients to go. It sits on Highway 97, a primary cycling corridor through the central Okanagan.
