I'd been craving Mexican food and this meal had me pumping my fist in the air and blowing chef's kisses. The steak and shrimp fajitas were amazing and came with a generous layer of cheesy vegetables as a base. I'm obsessed with how they cut the shrimp so it's curly (not sure how else to describe it and I ate it before considering taking a photo). It came with a side of guac, limes, and corn tortillas. The birria tacos were impressively packed with meat and had a nice layer of melted cheese on top. I appreciated that the shells stayed together (rather than falling apart like at some other restaurants). They were tasty and also came with lime wedges and dipping sauce (I like to drench mine so next time, I'd ask for extra). Bonus points that the meal was this good even as take-out. I think Que Vida just took over as my favorite spot for Mexican. I'd have a hard time not ordering the fajitas and birria tacos again, but their salads and burritos sound really good too! I'll be back and will be recommending to others!Edit to add: I came back less than a week later and dined in. I had a steak taco and birria taco. The steak taco (#1) is phenomenal. I fully intended to try a different taco when I ordered a 3rd, but it was so good I opted for an additional steak one. The guacamole is very nice but the chips are on the hard, thick side and all the salt falls off so you have to pinch it off the bottom of the bowl and sprinkle it back on, so I'd skip these next time. The Michelada was heavily complimented by my husband so that one is recommended too!

SO SAD that Kathy doesn't work here as much as before!!! Kathy has brought this location up to a very successful restaurant. She's cordial, pleasant, friendly and attentive. Even though she's the manager, there is NOTHING I haven't seen her do!!! She knows the customers in person, greets everyone with a GENUINE smile, stops to say hello and makes sure everything is ok. She bartends, refills drinks and even happily busses dishes... NOTHING goes unnoticed when Kathy is holding the reins... Today, when I asked if Kathy was working, I was told there are THREE new managers. Three people DOING WHAT KATHY DID ON HER OWN since the restaurant opened...without a hiccup(?)I've had MANY parties here and she has handled everything with no more than one additional person helping her. You are doing a disservice to your customers by Kathy not being here, ESPECIALLY on your BUSIEST nights, Taco Tuesday AND Friday! Ridiculous. The food is great here, but without Kathy's friendly face... I will be thinking twice before coming on a day she's off, just sayin'...

Couldn't stay away for long! Brought my family back to Que Vida to enjoy tacos on Taco Tuesday. The deal is too good to pass up! It's what I looked forward to all day while I was at work. My family couldn't stop raving! They are throughly impressed as I continue to be each time I dine. Again, the service is TOP NOTCH! Staff is caring and attentive. They were also able to make my tacos keto style/cheese shell for a small charge. Super accommodating. Still need to come back for brunch asap.

Hmmmm i'm not sure .... I had heard ravings about this taco spot.. and had a chance to try them today at the Huntington Beach location. I don't know, but maybe the batch I had was lacking some flavor. I had the fish taco, the Carnitas taco, Al Pastor and one Carne Sada. The fish taco was flavorless too much dough, as I said, maybe I don't know the seasoning was a little bit off this time. They are a bit flavorless , I have to say. They do have like a small bar inside with beers and drinks. Did not have a chance to try them..too early in the day lol

My husband and I came in for lunch on Halloween and were pleasantly surprised. To start we were greeted with a warm smile and cheerful welcome the minute we walked through the front door. We decided to sit at the bar for our lunch which was easy to navigate and wide open. Luis took care of us and he truly made the entire lunch memorable. He is incredibly passionate and knowledgeable about the menu, and the way this restaurant sources its food. They curate drinks and meals using only the finest ingredients. No added crap?! Yes please!!!! The true test was to. We if the flavors matched the praise- and they did!! My husband and I both ordered margaritas to start. Hubby got the spicy margarita and I went for the blueberry watermelon margarita because it sounded unique. Luis took his time making them, and they looked beautiful when they arrived. Pretty and tasty!!! Another win! While we looked at the menu Luis delivered fresh chips and salsas. The chips were warm and nicely golden in color. Three salsas accompanied the chips, a mild red which was our favorite, a medium green, which was also delicious, and a spicy red. The spicy red wasn't very hot so if you are leery to try it due to the label I encourage you to dip a chip and give it a try. The flavor was great! Now let's talk food- I love food- Mexican food is one of my absolute favorites, but I don't get it regularly because my hubby doesn't like it. He finds most Mexican food cheap, and full of artery clogging crap- so getting him to agree to try this place was a score, getting him to return, a total victory!! We ordered the carne asada fries to start. They arrived and not only looked beautiful on the tray, but they were delicious! Packed with fresh guacamole, tomatoes, salsa, steak, and sliced jalapeños. They were the perfect size for sharing. We would absolutely order these again! For lunch I enjoyed the asada taco. It came on a freshly cooked corn tortilla with a generous portion of steak, fresh onions, cilantro and a green sauce. YUM! My hubby enjoyed two tacos, the asada and carnitas. He ate both without a word which means they were darn good! After enjoying our lunch I decided to try the pineapple margarita which was delicious and fresh also. We shared some churros that came with three dipping sauces and were warm and perfectly cooked. We paid our bill and thanked Luis for truly making our lunch memorable. Because of him and the food quality we will be back. This is truly a hidden gem! Absolutely worth visiting!! Parking is easy and plentiful in a public parking lot in a shopping center.

Back in SoCal and hitting the streets of Huntington Beach and found this taco joint on a whim...DAY-Uhm! Where have you been all my life? I had the Al Pastor burrito and my buddy had the Dos Combo tacos. I can honestly say this - I've never had a 'better' burrito! And I've had a few in my day. My buddy's tacos? He loved them.Just go here!

We have been going there for 3 years and love the tacos and tacos combination plate. Tonight the tacos and rice were not hot, just warm. The shrimp taco was too spicy. First time that happened. The service was the worst in our 3 years of eating here. The overall experience was the worst. If this were my first time here, I would never go back. Owner Nicole and her husband - something different is happening - do not take your long time customers for granted. Keep the standards and enthusiasm you showed when you opened.

Today we went and wanted just a tacos and we tried just one "#2 carnitas" and omg! It was delicious. So delicious that we both think that this was the best carnitas tacos we have had in long, long time. So we had to have another one ;-) The waiter was very nice and friendly. The ambiance is very cool and nice restaurant inside. Very friendly. We recommend this place absolutely
