The food here is decent. It’s good Gringo Mexican food. A little bland to appease the Caucasian taste buds.

This place is legit. Family has had a mixture of the tacos (all delicious) and I had one of the best burritos I can ever recall eating. You can taste the fresh ingredients. Glad to have another spot to add into the rotation.

If I could give this place 6 stars, I would. Stopped in with my fam last night and had an incredible experience. We have had a very hard time finding good Mexican in the area. Que Vida has finally done it for us. We tried a variety of things and all were unreal – FLAVOR, finally!! I cannot say enough of not only the food but the customer service as well. It’s amazing what great customer service can do for your experience – you leave feeling good and with a huge smile on your face. People have forgotten about that. Amazing job Que Vida!
