    This is a 10/10 mexican food experience. We loved the Birria, guacamole and queso fundido. Also I do not drink alcohol and they have a mocktail with agave so it tasted great!!!

    Have always made this place a go to of at the Wharf. Yesterday was the last time. Recommended to several friends for a birthday brunch. It started with the host service. He seemed annoyed overall either by being there or by answering questions asked. Our server - Marita C. Was very unpleasant and although we tried to be cordial and respectful to her she made us all very uncomfortable in the end. Typically brunch servers are very personable, pleasant and approachable always willing to go above and beyond. Maritza made it very clear that she was irritated. She gave very standoffish vague Answers to simple billing questions. Will not be dining at this place again. Had a very unwelcoming experience overall. The food was good which at least was a win.

    We had an excellent time our server was very knowledgeable and it is not TexMex. Don’t make that mistake and it is way better than Tex-Mex. I love it and we will be going back. Please try the mango frozen drink. It is absolutely amazing with the spicy rim

    The restaurant was really cute, but a little dark on the inside. The service was great from the moment you walk in, especially our server Miguel. He was very knowledgeable about the menu and about recommendations. Anything he didn’t know he was quick to ask and come back with a response. The food was great; it felt like everything had an interesting twist on Mexican classics but it worked and was really tasty!

    The food was absolutely amazing but the SERVICE was even better. Can’t wait to go back again! Not a single thing was less than stellar! Knowledgeable and friendly staff, manager check ins, generous portions of delicious authentic cuisine. We were a group of 4 and everyone tried each others plates- the food was that good. Every dish let the table empty. Incredible experience and great option if you want a beautiful meal.

    Not enough vegetarian options we were given a quesadilla which was just cheese , I think Taco Bell has better quesadillas.

    My wife and I had our Valentine's Day Lunch at Mi Vida and had an amazing experience. We had reservations and were promptly seated upon our arrival. Our waiter was very attentive and made great recommendations based off foods we told him we typically liked... The food service was fast and OMG good!!! We ordered a few items to sample their food and everything was delicious: nachos, tuna tacos, oysters with chorizo, seafood empanadas(could have been alittle crispier) and carnitas... I would eat there again today just because it was so good... The drinks, the drinks, the drinks... We had a glass of Rose' because it was Valentine's Day but with our meal we had the La Medicina and the El Suave... Both were well balanced and taste great. But that El Suave is a drink from the gods... My wife and I have made it our mission to recreate this drink at our house this weekend! Mi Vida will definitely get another visit from us in the near future...
