Mi Buena Vida offers a fantastic dining experience. The mole on the carnitas enchiladas was a standout dish, rich in flavor and perfectly complementing the tender meat. The fish tacos were equally impressive, and the margaritas were incredible!

We also enjoyed the Frida salad for a lighter option. Don't forget to check out the homemade salsa bar! The staff's professionalism is top-notch, contributing to a comfortable and enjoyable dining atmosphere.

Located very conveniently within the sugarhouse area and the restaurant is decorated nice and is clean. The food was mediocre at best for the prices charged. Was charged a 3.44 surcharge free for using a credit card despite using a debit card. Overall a good atmosphere but food is nothing to come back for as there are more authentic tastier places for the same price. Give it a try yourself

Absolutely LOVE the chicken tortilla soup and their steak. Its a great spot to be in, especially the patio area (you can bring your dogs). You cant go wrong with the food here. Its one of my favorite new spots.
