“ Had a large party so we had to have the fixed menu. took a little time to for the apps to come out but after that everything came right on schedule. food was good, my favorite was the queso fundido and the steak. churro was a little too crunchy for my liking ”
“ Excellent Mexican food! Perfect drinks with a kick of spice, just perfect. Serving is just enough for a good meal, and the drinks are just amazing. Street parking or privet parking. ”
“ We had a fabulous time at The Wharf location! Our bartender was friendly and attentive and made a great pitcher of margaritas, a very good buy as the pitcher is big and feels endless. Food was awesome! ”
“ Enjoyed lunch at Mi Vida on a Saturday afternoon with a friend to celebrate her birthday. We split the cocktail flight, nachos and a salad - and loved all of it. The cocktail flight let's you try a variety of the restaurant's signature cocktails in a smaller version. It was perfect to share! The salad was spicy and fresh. And the nachos were loaded with toppings - an overall delight! ”
“ We were hunting for tacos, as we often are but we like "gringo" tacos so we didn't pick this place at first. This was our mistake, it is completely delicious. We started wi/h chips and salsa, and their salsa has great flavor. Chips are light, thin and crispy as chips should be. I had the chicken tacos (the seemed fajita style to me) and my husband had the fish tacos. Both were excellent! Our server was very attentive and their dining room was quiet enough to discuss our day. The manager checked on us; everyone was really nice. Go here, eat tacos and be happy. I had a spicy watermelon drink that was pretty good too. ”
“ The food and service were excellent! We selected the multi-course lunch special that included chips, guacamole, spicy deviled eggs, Cesar salad, street tacos, chicken enchiladas, rice, beans and churros. Each course came out individually and perfectly timed. Some had a distinct spice that snuck up without becoming overwhelming. The drink menu was sophisticated and I recommend the habanero mocktail if you want to enjoy a surprisingly perfect mixture of sweet and spicy. ”
“ Happened across this restaurant almost by accident. But what a lovely place. Beautiful food. We got the fish tacos and chicken enchiladas. Simply lovely. They have a special fruit juice everyday, which is also refreshing. And a great view of the Potomac ”
“ We visited Mi Vida during Police Week (around May 12), escorting a surviving family member who was unfortunately struggling and behaving erratically. Despite a very challenging situation, our waitress TK remained incredibly poised and professional, eventually bringing over her manager, Rey. Rey was an absolute gem—calm, respectful, and gracious under pressure. He handled everything with patience and professionalism, meeting every request (even the unreasonable ones) without missing a beat. The food was delicious and timely, but it was the exceptional service from TK and Rey that truly stood out. This was hands down the best customer service experience I’ve ever had ”
