Really enjoyed our dinner at Mi Vida! I have celiac disease and was very impressed with the knowledgeable staff and server who made every effort for me to have a safe and enjoyable gluten-free dining experience. Special thank you to the chef and kitchen staff for taking extra steps to avoid cross-contamination with gluten during preparation. Excellent guacamole and house made chips, and some of the best shrimp fajitas I've had in the DMV. Will be back!

Great spot. Friday lunch was not too crowded, elegant, bright, and collegial. The $19 lunch special is a great bargain. The mole enchiladas are tops. Great service from Luis proudly from Guatemala. Play-by-play:: Ducked out of the metro, crossed the street to Mi Vida, dined with my lady, ducked into the portrait museum, said hi to the Presidents portraits (and Grandma Moses), and slipped back out to the metro. Easy fun afternoon. Home by 3 pm. We'll be back.

Overall very good especially as a place to go before or after Arena events. The music is too loud in the dining room though. Even a small table of 4 has a hard time making conversation.
