This was our first time trying Que Vida, and they did not disappoint! The food was so flavorful, quality and fresh!! We were greeted right when we walked in and everyone was so friendly. We can’t wait to try them again!

The staff and management here are refreshingly helpful, have excellent customer service and seem genuinely happy to work here.

The food is extremely good. It is very fresh with a lot of flavor and authenticity. I would highly recommend this place to anyone!

We love Que Vida. We go to the one of Huntington often, at least once a month. We’ve been to this location in Costa Mesa 3 times and each time it misses the mark. Steak and shrimp over cooked, sloppily wrapped burritos with a chunk of cheese at the bottom, missing items from our take out order. It’s disappointing because we love the food when it’s made right.
A few weeks ago we got an el pastor burrito and there was almost no pineapple or meat…. Mostly just rice...
