Food is very mediocre. The drinks are really good. We only really go for drinks . Great mimosas. They use champagne brutt which is delicious.

Honestly the first Mexican restaurant that actually tastes like Mexican food. I love tacos de birria and I try from different restaurants but this one surprised me and actually tasted good. The rice and beans fully Mexican taste. Would definitely keep going back. Also the margs.. soo good!

La Vida is a solid option for drinks and food. It's great for watching sports, and has taco deals on Tuesday and Thursday nights. While it's not anything to write home about, it has a nice atmosphere, food that's good, and nice drinks. My biggest fault would be that it is definitely not cheap (excep the tacos, but the drinks will get you ~$17 each).

Ick! This place has really gone downhill. Used to be a fun place to hang out. We sat there for quite a while without the barmaids giving us any eye contact at all. They appeared to be busy talking with friends instead. Not very many people at the bar which is no surprise. So we just walked away. I don't think they even noticed we left. Abysmal.

It was a beautiful atmosphere. An outdoor bar. It was really cool. They have a cool fireplace. Went with a friend last night. We had a wonderful night. Ordered some drinks and an appetizer. A good spot. Never heard of this place. We just randomly chose this spot and. It was a fun spot to chill. Great selection of mixed drinks. They don’t have draft beer. They mostly focus on cocktails and liquor. They do however have bottled beer. Still a cool spot.

Incredible Mexican cuisine! The atmosphere is welcoming and the service was outstanding. Our waiter Sergio was very attentive and carried a smile throughout our dining service. Drinks were hard and heavy as they should be. Definitely one for the books.
