Mi Vida

I have to say-- if you want to go somewhere to indulge and try a little bit of everything (because you're indecisive like myself!) then you need to order Mi Vida's Sabores de Mexico family style dinner. For $44, you can get an abundance of food. I would go through the whole list but that's too much to type out so I'm just gonna say my highlights!- the fish tacos were so delicious with the slaw. They were fried fish tacos and even though the fish was fried, it felt light and wasn't too heavy - the churros were insane--I'd say I have a favorite dipping sauce but I can't decide!!! Maybe the chocolate?- the carne asada is so perfectly cooked and balanced with the sauce- the enchiladas and the sauce were soooo tasty and had the perfect amount of seasoningThe service was quick and I appreciated that our server kept refilling my diet coke and also would put in the next course after we finished our previous course. We were yapping like crazy and ate very slow so I am grateful that he kept an eye on us and made sure we were taken care of!Lastly, the decor and vibes in here are amazing. The tree in the center is so cool and the moody lighting along with the DJ makes this place just so vibey. I'd come back with my girlfriends for a fun girls night out!

The place is very nicely decorated but a little dark. The margaritas were great. The steak tacos and black beans were good. The guac was good, and the yellowfin ceviche was good. Unfortunately, the service was horrible. Pedro, our server, was rude and impatient. And then the tip was automatically added so we could not show our displeasure by lowering the tip.The location = 4 stars The food = 4 starsThe service = 0 starsOverall = 2.5 stars

My wife, older daughter and I had a really lovely meal out on their side patio a while back. Service and ambiance is vibrant and fun and we shared a number of really great dishes.Started the meal with both an order of guacamole along with the queso fundido filled to the brim with oily delicious chorizo. Neither of these lasted very long as both were packed with a flavor punch, pairing perfectly with a spicy rimmed margarita on the rocks.We shared two mains amongst us...the chicken Caesar salad and a quesabirria quesadilla. The grilled chicken on the Caesar had a zippy seasoning coating on it that my wife loved. The quesabirria was so rich and decadent it was hard to eat the entire thing...but we did!Given how close this spot is to my daughter's apartment, I know we will be back.

Things I love.. dark restaurants, strong cocktails, and a live DJ. Mi Vida has it all plus some great food and service. Shoutout to our server Andrew for taking such great care of us! The margaritas were smooth and the guacamole was so fresh. Inside is fun and the music will have you vibing all throughout dinner.

Mi Vida is a perfect venue for good eats, welcoming ambiance and delicious drinks. I love coming during the lunch hours or for happy hour. Their servers were attentive and welcoming. I've dined on the patio with a large group and I've also say at the bar with a friend. In both instances the servers provided quality service.All the dishes have been delicious but their chicken wings are "chefs kiss" followed by the tacos and nachos. It's certainly become one of my favorite spots.

What a vibrant 1st time experience. We stopped by Mi Vida to grab some tequila-/mezcal-inspired cocktails for a TGIF excursion. Overall, our group of three had a great time in this chill, low-key restaurant. We were fortunate enough to find enough seating at the bar for the three of us... with a little help from the staff. The team was accommodating in that they moved some items out of the way so we could see at the end of the bar, which I assume is more for service. The restaurant does have a few small booths in front of the bar, but they (2-seater booths) were too small for the three of us. Mi Vida has a pretty generous happy hour menu, which is available until 6 pm, that includes a few cocktails (around $10) and appetizers. I did appreciate that staff proving a couple reminders that happy hour was ending within 10-15 minutes. While the happy hour food menu was inviting, we decided to get some items off of the regular menu that included picadillo empanadas, bowls of esquites, chips and gauc, and tatanachos. I'll say that the picadillo empanadas were so delicious that we ordered three rounds of them throughout evening. I thought all of the beverages (and I had quite a few) were made to perfection. My favorites of the evening, which were not on the happy hour menu, were the Mez-Skull (a mezcal-based drink with ginger beer and other stuff) and La Medicina (an anejo-based drink with singer, agave, and lime). Be careful with these beverages bc they go down so smooth that you might not taste or smell the punch. All in all we had an amazing time at this restaurant, and I will gladly add it to my go-to list.

I had such wonderful brunch at Mi Vida. Surprisingly it was not crowded on Sunday. As soon as I got inside I was stunned by how pretty it was. They had this artificial tree inside that caught my eye. High ceiling. I regret not taking photos of that. Their brunch menu offered a variety of things and it was hard to decide. We ordered empanadas and chips & salsa. I had enchiladas with creamy sauce and they had a hint of sourness and it was delicious. Throughout it all our server was very attentive. He accommodated us with requests. Answered all the questions with a smile. Great service. I will return.

Mi Vida is a fun spot for Mexican cuisine! The chips and guac were good (as always), but I loved my mojito and the quality of the tortillas in my tacos!! The chicken in the pollo tacos was also flavored nicely and the salsas had an interesting smokiness. Clearly a slightly elevated, not-your-basic tex mex recipe. I wouldn't say Mi Vida is a must for the food, but combined with the energy, I would suggest a group dinner here!

This was my first time at this Mi Vida, and it's been a while since I've been to 14th St but I remember this being a red brick building. I'm so sad that it was painted over. The design is beautiful but now that building can never be its traditional red brick again!Inside is gorgeous. There's a huge tree that goes up to the ceiling, and there are exposed pipes- industrial style. Very low lighting makes it hard to see but it's a nice ambiance. The food itself was fine. Three of us shared the queso fundido and the duck appetizer, and I ordered the enchiladas suizas (please excuse the color in the pic- it's not that yellow, I think but the flash went off). The apps were good- something on the duck was a bit spicy for my taste but I liked the queso. The enchiladas were also really good but the flavor wasn't terribly distinctive. For that price, I'll probably make them myself.

The food was super yummy. The guacamole and the house made chips were perfect! I wound up getting the chicken tacos without the chihuahua cheese and they were great! And the Flor De Lola was such a fruity and flavorful mocktail. I took off a star for the service which was severely lacking this morning. The restaurant wasn't packed and it was extremely unclear who our waiter was.
