I heard alot of good things about this Mexican restaurant so today was the day that I decided to see what the hype was about. I've been craving some goooood Mexican food and yes they did delivered!! I ordered the shrimp nachos and the portion size was more than enough. I was able to eat off of it twice and share. I also ordered a few deep fried jalapenos on the side*sorry not pictured* and they were delicious too.I was very undecided on what to order because there was so many eye catching items to choose from but the cashier was a big help. He was very patient and went through the entire menu with me, letting me know about the popular items as well. The portion sizes of their menu items are amazing, not skimpy at all. I was curious about the fish tacos and he showed me the size of the fish that goes in a taco and I was blown away you guys!!! Seriously. If you want a real fish taco this is where you come, no baby fish over here lol. Pura Vida definitely value their customers hungry tummies LOL.Now, let's get into the taste.. These nachos were very much packed with flavor, good shrimp size portions, fully loaded with veggies and your typical nacho topping. The chips used for the nachos got a little soggy but it was expected due to how loaded they were. I definitely recommend checking out this place, if you want authentic filling mexican food Pura Vida got you covered. My overall experience was great and I will DEFINITELY be back
A hidden gem ?- Mexican Halal food served with love. Generous portion sizes and good service. Tried the following items and loved them all:- Chicken burrito - very flavorful- Carnes Asada - fries with beef, veggies and sauces - really hit the spot!- a variety of tacos with chicken and veggies in a crunchy shell - quite delicious!- Horchata- cool rice milk beverageThey gave complimentary nachos on the side. Also shoutout to their sauces - we got four different types and for each hot sauce, there was a mild version.Very interesting artwork in the restaurant itself.
So delicious! My first time ordering here for delivery and it was amazing! Everything was great! Thank you so much.
have been coming here last 5 years, and the food is always tastful and generous portions! the service is gold!
This halal Mexican restaurant offers high quality home style food. We tried several of their items and they were all quite delicious. The place does not serve alcohol. Highly recommend.
I ordered by phone for pickup. Excellent service and food! Best horchata that I’ve had and amazing asada fries. Definitely recommend!! The parking lot is a little weird - make sure to turn right on the first entrance on Carson because the parking lot is one way.
I am a long term resident in Carson and gotta say - this place is great. I personally don't know of any other restaurant here that serves organic meat. You can't go wrong here- everything they have is delicious.
Absolutely amazing. The quantity and quality of the food was excellent.
Food was tasting good. Done in just a table inside and one outside. Good service

I just randomly googled this place because I was in the area. It looked like an authentic place (maybe a little too authentic for me and the family) and I love Mexican; enough to know when it's not good--the chicken was old and hard nobody in my house liked what they ate, what a waste.
That food was delicious and i couldn't finish it, quality and quantity was great
We had a work lunch where they catered. Was soooo good! Took my wife there today, just awesome!! Authentic Mexican food!!!
Halal Mexican food. Halal burrito and tacos
We love the Pura Vida Burrito. The veggies are fresh and the rice is very flavorful. They are huge so we always have leftovers for the next day. The fresh pressed ginger ale is very refreshing.
