Vida Taco Bar has a nice setting and beautiful open windows looking out on the water. The service was excellent and everyone was very friendly. For my appetizer I ordered the queso which I was hesitant about because everyone doesn’t make great queso BUT it was so fresh and not to thick and packed with flavor. The chips paired with the queso so I definitely would get again.Now the Tacos ? I alway get a variety of tacos because it’s very fun, lol. First, I ordered the Seared Scallops which was packed with flavor. Second taco I ordered was a Thai Basil Shrimp which was also pretty good. The third taco was the soft shell crab and the sauce was definitely my favorite the crunch from the deep fry was really good. My only con was of your not fond of eating the whole shell this isn’t a taco for you. I couldn’t eat the whole thing but it had nothing to do with the flavors it was more of a texture thing.I also ordered me a drink I ordered the Vida Spicy with a shot of Casamigo. Unless you love and can down a spicy hot drink this is not for you, I wasn’t to fond of it but I drank it because who wants to waste liquor lol.All in all I would go back to try other tacos and drinks.

Okay, so we gave this place a try because we heard the margaritas and tacos are good. We got a pitcher, it did not meet any of our expectations, tasted like lime juice.We loved the Corn Bite!

The tacos are legit and the nachos are amazing (carne asado, sweet potato, cauliflower-three different tacos). The prices are high though, guacamole for two that appears to be made with a single avocado is $12. For two people that's a serving size, but the mark up is insane! Also, 20% is added on for gratuity, which I think makes all the waitstaff responsible for everyone-naturally it is easy to get lost in the shuffle.The armosphere was fun and lively, without being wild. It was strange to hear two different sets of music playing at the same time.My friend loved the purple drank.

Vida Taco Bar is located in a prime location at The Point with great views and a good atmosphere. I dined outside to enjoy the nice weather. Service was well paced starting with drinks and appetizers. The Purple Drink is a very tasty blend of sangria and margarita, and has a nice punch to it. My favorite appetizer was the grilled corn bites, which is a remix of eloté. It was actually the best thing I tasted at the restaurant. The blend of smoked paprika, chilli powder and other seasonings mixed with crema and cotija cheese are perfection. I like that it was cut into bit sized pieces. The chips and dips were good also. The tacos are "designer" as the manager called them and were sufficient in comparison to my preference of authentic style street tacos. The best of the trio I had was the scallop taco because they were prepared perfectly as a scallop should be and I even enjoyed the included toppings. The thai shrimp has amazing flavor. The pulled chicken was just ok. Alternative options of flour, corn or lettuce wraps are provided for dietary accommodations.Overall, Vida is a great spot for the ambiance, drinks and corn if nothing else. I would return for those reasons and the service alone.

This was my first visit and I cannot say enough about how good the food was. As well the regular margaritas were excellent as well. The general manager was very kind. My only complaint is that the waitress did a lousy job in checking back in with us to see if we needed anything. I finally had to ask one of the other employees to go find her.

Great atmosphere, cauliflower tacos AMAZING, sweet potato tacos tasty, fun and friendly staff, churros could use a little more love and tenderness (they were hard and just not what a chirro should be like). Decent price point, especially for the location. I'd go back.

It is/was Cinco de Mayo the expectation of long wait times, understood. It was a nice day. We had over 45mins to wait and talk.Once seated, the menu (lack of menu) was a disappointment. -⭐️ The volume of people decreased. The sun-set. Took a while for drinks (nothing to be desired on that menu either. No alcohol in the drinks). -⭐️My sister ordered twice before my 2 basic tacos came. The tacos were......okay. The so called guacamole had no taste. Simple mashed avocados. I hooked up tho???. -⭐️Maybe this is more geared to the ?♂️?♀️white community location.I might try one more time just be to sure.Positive: the location once construction is finish should be a cute dating spot and photo location. Sadly there is not 1 1/2⭐️.

Vida use to be one of my favorite local spots for Tacos. Lately the service has been so horrible. Thought last week was a fluke, maybe an off night because it was Tuesday and kind of busy, a week later even worst service! I noticed a lot has changed and all of the old servers who were awesome, no longer work here. If you’re looking for great service paired with great food, I would say avoid this place.

fantastic. great food, better drinks.

Always love the drinks and the nachos. Great for a quick bite or to hang with friends
Been here twice, excellent both times. Both the house sangria and Vida Margarita are strong but flavorful.Al pastor tacos were my favorite.

Great food, fun variety of tacos which were all excellent! Would definitely come again! Margaritas were tasty and well made. A nice location in the harbor east area. Prices were reasonable (especially compared to other places in the area). Main complaint was the service. Really hard to get servers attention to close our tab, but understand that restaurant staffing shortages are something everyone is dealing with and everyone we interacted with was very polite.

A place that does tacos and tequila, and does them very well!Great atmosphere, excellent service, and the spicy margarita was on point! Tacos were incredible, will definitely be back for more!Scallops in scallop taco were perfectly seasoned and cooked. Thai shrimp had a nice spice and flavor.Al pastor had the perfect sweetness, but suggest without corn tortilla so not to interrupt the flavor combinations. Chorizo was really goodMy favorite was the scallop
