Dulce Vida Tacos & Tequila

This place is a great change to the same ol places we go. The ambience is so cute here. I loved all the cute details, theme, and service. My food was so good I would definitely come back and order it again. Side note : the drinks are big so if you're looking for a small cocktail you might want to share or ask what your options are. Just might have found our new date spot! Little Hint: the Texas rice is 10 out of 10! The only negative was... I ordered my Texas rice with no tomatoes and it came with them and I was supposed to get tortillas with my meal and I didn't so they brought me some to take home. Most surprising thing was their churro dessert. If you have kids you have to order them. The presentation is the best and tastes so good! We will be back!!

2.5 starsThe actual restaurant itself was beautiful, the vibes were amazing, and quite busy for a Monday night. I got the El Osito cocktail and it was strong! My girls and I ordered a lot of food and we would love to tell you about it. First off, service was very disappointing. Our server's tables were scattered throughout the restaurant. He was constantly in a rush! Took him a while to come back to get the rest of our orders placed. We had to ask for napkins 5 times and had our food brought out to us before being given utensils. ALSO, a little disappointing to hear that their cute drinks aren't as cute anymore because they don't have the cups that go with it. My friend had wanted two other drinks that are supposed to have a cute cup, settled for the bath drink as it's the last one they have. Holy Guac with flautas 9/10 Holy Guac with bacon wrapped shrimp 9/10Street corn 4/10 flavor was aight and highly disappointing that the table next to us got corn on the cob and ours was canned corn in a bowl Carne Asada 6/10 lacked flavor but hefty portion Chimichanga 7/10 more fulfilling and a bit more flavorful Overall, it's an awfully cute place! Service needs to improve for sure. I wouldn't mark this on the top of my favorite Mexican spots in the OKC area but if I had to come back, I'd try lunch!

Found this fun restaurant on a tik tok so decided to try it while a friend was in town. We're really glad we went as the food and artistic drinks didn't disappoint. We devoured our food and loved the drink presentations. Service was really good but must say that communication was a bit challenging but our orders came out correctly. One odd thing was mid lunch, out of no where, the music came on like it was a club but it lasted about a minute then no music rest of lunch lol. I must say the booths are comfortable and the decor is fun, eclectic yet warm. The mural at the back is amazing. The location isn't central okc but is worth the drive.

Went for my brothers birthday first birthday. This place never disappoints!!! Their customer service is A1!!! There all nice and sweet the vibes are there. The food is delicious hands down authentic. The setting is gorgeous and makes you want to drink a cocktail . I love this place and they speak Spanish. The birthday they go above and beyond to gather everyone and sing with a dessert. Must try!! Belly, welly, jelly

I recently visited Dulce Vida while catching up with friends in Oklahoma City, and it was an absolute blast! This place is perfect for tourists looking to have fun or celebrate a special event--there were plenty of birthday dinners happening that looked like a great way to celebrate.From the moment I walked in, I was struck by the vibrant atmosphere. The drink menu features crazy concoctions served in unique glasses, which really adds to the experience. I highly recommend asking the servers about the glassware; it's impressive how they store so many different types!The food portions are incredibly generous, ensuring you won't leave hungry. Plus, there's a colorful wall that's perfect for snapping fun photos--definitely a great backdrop for memories!Overall, I recommend checking out Dulce Vida for a lively dining experience, you won't be disappointed!

This is a super cute restaurant. I loved all the wall art and the cute chairs. The bar area looked super festive as well. They were well staffed and everyone was really nice. Our waiter was super attentive. When we first got there it was a bit loud but as some of the party's left it was fine.The drinks were really good. I wish the menu told you the drinks by the cute cups they come in. We asked our waiter about several of them and he was nice and patient with us when explaining which ones were which. Our food order got messed up a bit. My sister ordered steak tacos "street style", I ordered chicken tacos "American style" and we ordered the vida fries which chicken as the protein. We ended up getting 2 plates of chicken tacos and steak on the vida fries. My sister was okay with eating the chicken tacos but we had him fix the vida fries which he had done right away. So that was nice. We also got the street corn - hot style, it was okay. The rest of the food was pretty good. The drinks were really good. I got the Horchata Loca & Bath Booba Peach. The bath booba peach was really good (think it was missing the popping booba) but it was still good and came in a cute little bathtub cup. The food and drinks were fairly priced.

Visited with my daughter. We enjoyed the decor of the restaurant, it's very festive and would be cute for a date night. We loved the salsa to start out! Our main course was good but not the best Mexican we've had in Oklahoma. The server was attentive and gave us recommendations for the menu.

I don't know how to explain the oddness about this place, but I'll try... Stick with me. This place is stupidly located. It has the energy and aesthetic of a gentrified Mexican restaurant run by people who "love the culture" but would only order the mild salsa. Not saying that's what it is, because everyone working there is obviously Hispanic. I'm saying that's the vibe. Everything about Dulce Vida (from the social-media-focused decor, to the food options, to the over-priced menu) suggests that it thinks it's located in the Plaza District. But... you know, it's not... Because it's actually located on NW Expressway, with nearby restaurants like Church's Chicken. It's almost like the whole restaurant was built for the clientele they wanted, rather than the clientele that lives in the area. There's an audacity to Dulce Vida that makes me wanna channel Kelly Kapoor (from The Office) and say, "Yeah, I have a lot of questions. Number one: How dare you?" Listen, friends: I am doing everything in my power to single-handedly fight this battle, yet it's a battle that I will ultimately lose, because the rest of you have clearly accepted that it's perfectly reasonable to spend $16 on a quesadilla. Which, again, if you were in the gentrified part of OKC where people are trying to save the world one overpriced organic cotton t-shirt at a time, it would make sense. But it doesn't make sense next to an Extended Stay hotel. Y'all's divorced dads clearly have more money to blow than the ones I grew up with... Almost the entire menu starts at around $15. I think I saw two items that were $7 and $9 respectively and those were clearly not meant to be full meals. A lunch entrée will easily set you back $20 by the time you leave. That doesn't include appetizers or drinks. Is that terrible? No. Does it make sense close to a Braum's? I mean, I would say no, but it's apparently up for debate.The food is fine. Nothing I've had so far tasted bad. But the Taco Shots is possibly one of the silliest things I've seen, where the concept clearly made more sense than the practicality of putting 3 shot glasses in front of a customer so that they can awkwardly make a mess all over the table as they try to pull out and consume a sideways taco dunked in sauce. Even though I mentioned it earlier as a knock, the dishes and decor are nicer than a traditional restaurant of this type of food. Everything said, it's fine. It's all kinda odd. But it's fine.

This is a fairly new restaurant ~ 3 months in business and to be honest, pleasantly surprised. We arrived late afternoon so it wasn't actually busy nor were we hungryThis dining adventure was about the appetizers! We chose the Classic Guacamole & the Nachos Fajita 1/2 Chicken 1/2 Ground Beef the Guacamole was right on and very delicious. The same for the Nachos! I would recommend both! However, we weren't hungry for an entree but I probably would only get one appetizer for the two of us then select an entree. I can't really give this a 5 star since I only had appetizers. I'm going to make a return trip to try out other options. I'm pretty certain a 5 star is waiting! If the appetizers were that good I can only imagine what the entrees are like!Our server (Gaililea) was fantastic, cheerful, friendly and was there when we needed her!We did review the drink menu - they all looked very good and we'll have to try on the next visit!

The inside and outside is awesome! They did a really great job with the decorations. This location hasn't had many restaurants lost nor have any of them been really good. I was excited to give it a try. We sat at the bar and ordered some drinks. I got the bath booba peach. The idea is great however it wasn't cold, no ice, and a little bit too much if something g in it. I ended up having to ask for a glass of ice and pouring it out of the bathtub into the cup and it was ok. I wouldn't order it again. My partner got the horchata loca and it was ok. The chips and salsa were good. We ordered the ceviche sampler and the best one was the tropical. I got the enchiladas and they were eh ok I guess. My partner got the bits tacos and said they were ok.I'd say overall there visually was some wow but when it came down to it was less than average in terms of food and drinks. I think there are many other options that are really great. I hope they are able to really hone in on the items to make them excellent. Unfortunately it didn't wow us.
