Reviews
Although I made a reservation, There was No table available when We arrived! Restaurant has this very strong policy that you need to Add a credit card in case you don’t show up, they will charge you $20 per person. I don’t have a problem with that, But at least I EXPECTED To have a good Service. I had a party of 6 and Host just offered us a table with patio style seats and a Very low table which Is perfect if you just go to have drinks and Talk. But with Family of 6 and for a Sunday Bruch It’s obviously UNCOMFORTABLE AND IMPOSSIBLE TO EAT. I had 2 small kids and I spoke to her and tell her about the situation and That I needed a PROPER table to eat with my family. They seated me within a couple minutes, But ridiculously we waited a long time for a server to come to our Table until My husband went to ask for someone to take our Order. Because No one was putting attention. There was a Big party like 20-25 people next to Us and every server was more concentrated in that big party. Finally the waitress came and Took our orders, she was Nice and friendly. But definitely this place NEEDS more organization. If they don’t have enough personal to work they should put an stop on the amount of people they took on reservations! I Didn’t see any manager At all around to talk about the situation. Drinks looked good But poorly made. I will Not recommend this place to go with Family. For me is most like to go with friends, enjoy the music and have some drinks
Food was good and waiter attentive.. it was a little chilly sitting outside and should have requested to sit near a heater. However that won't stop us on returning! the atmosphere is lively
Made reservations here for Valentine's Day weekend and everything was amazing. From the service to the food to the cocktails this place doesn't miss. The aesthetic is super nice and so is the vibe. They even gave us a complimentary cocktail on the house! Definitely planning a second trip out here, it was worth the 1 hour drive. Don't think twice about it, just come see for yourself! You'll love it.
The food was a three. Taco Tuesday and still the price seemed steep. This is more of a singles bar than a restaurant/bar. I prefer quieter and more intimate. Still gave it a 4 as it did seem like a fun place for younger singles.
Food portions are really big. Service is a little slow. It's on the top floor and they have fire place. It's nice. A nightclub/restaurant next door so it's loud and lively in general. Had a good time there.
The vibe of the place on a Friday night was really good. The servers were very polite and knew their job. Food was okay but that’s not the only thing one goes there for. Would recommend.
While they do have both indoor & outdoor seating, my favorite part about the ambiance at La Vida Cantina is the outdoor patio with huts. The guacamole $11 is always a solid starter, and it’s topped with fresh Roma tomatoes & cilantro. The carne asada fajitas $23 are large enough for two to share. The steak is mixed with fajitas veggies reds bell peppers & onions, and on the side you get tortillas and a plate with rice, beans covered in cheese, pico de gallo, a dollop of guacamole, & sour cream. As far as cocktails, I personally enjoy The Passion, which comes with Tosco Plata Tequila, passion fruit puree, pineapple juice, agave nectar, and lime juice, with a pineapple garnish.
10/10 definitely recommend! We were seated within minutes, not even a minute later we have water, chips and salsa on the table. The chips AND the salsa were soo delicious and fresh! We let the waiter choose our first drink which was the pomegranate margarita 10/10! Then we had the pineapple plum drink 10/10 that one was my fave! We tried a few others but those were my top two! We then ordered their roasted corn and guac for appetizers and followed up with the sopes for entrees. Everything was hot and yummy! The food was amazing! The drinks were top tier! The service was extremely delightful. Prices were reasonable. The atmosphere was such a vibe and I definitely cannot wait to return.
Tasty food, good cocktails, even if they could be bigger, friendly staff, nice people, good music.
Really cool spot for late-night cocktails, happy hour and dancing. The food was nice, especially the queso fundido, but the entrees were overpriced. Great salsa!
