“Mi Vida” translates to “My Life.” However, in Mexico, “Mi Vida” means much more. “Mi Vida” is a term of endearment bestowed on close family and friends to signify love, care and importance. When one says, “Mi Vida,” they are telling someone special how much they mean to them. MI VIDA describes how we feel about our team and our guests. It is our expression of Mexican culture and cuisine as interpreted through the lens of Chef Roberto Santibañez. Our menu is rooted in the history and culinary tradition of Mexico while exploring the ever-changing boundaries of this vibrant and evolving cuisine.

    Our waitress was very good. However, the bar service was horrible. Got our drinks half way thru eating. The carne asada was cooked correctly but was tough enough to need steak knives which there were none. Gravy was said to be not that spicy was very spicy. Very few non spicy options.

    This is a very lively and busy place, with a fairly high noise level. The service was very good, however, and the food was good but not outstanding. The staff was very helpful and professional.

    I wondered why there was ample space in the middle of a packed Christmas market and I quickly found out: - food was waaay to salty. Other people I know who have eaten there agree. -Pay for store bought chips and beyond salty salsa? Ridiculous! - I got the chicken enchiladas. Too salty -Pay for rice and beans? Ridiculous! Go to any other Mexican restaurant. Pay less and eat well. Worst restaurant I've been to in years.

    We were promptly seated at a window (as requested). Waitress was friendly and helpful. One appetizer came so quickly we couldn’t figure how it had been prepared. Duck appetizer was a bit too spicy. Soup was a bit too bland. Main courses were brought out too so (before we finished appetizers). Mole enchiladas were ok but the sauce was not the best mole ( a few months ago we had mole in Santa Fe for my comparison).
