    The experience was second to none. All of the staff from the manager who stopped to check in down to the hostess were top notch. The ambiance is a great setting for a first date option or a nice relaxing yet elegant evening with friends, family or that special someone. Not too noisy, conversation was easily had. Tables were comfortably spaced and the atmosphere was great. I would highly recommend. Great restaurant in a great location

    My wife and I had our Valentine's Day Lunch at Mi Vida and had an amazing experience. We had reservations and were promptly seated upon our arrival. Our waiter was very attentive and made great recommendations based off foods we told him we typically liked... The food service was fast and OMG good!!! We ordered a few items to sample their food and everything was delicious: nachos, tuna tacos, oysters with chorizo, seafood empanadas(could have been alittle crispier) and carnitas... I would eat there again today just because it was so good... The drinks, the drinks, the drinks... We had a glass of Rose' because it was Valentine's Day but with our meal we had the La Medicina and the El Suave... Both were well balanced and taste great. But that El Suave is a drink from the gods... My wife and I have made it our mission to recreate this drink at our house this weekend! Mi Vida will definitely get another visit from us in the near future...
