“ Very mixed reviews of our dinner here. The positives: although there was an unbelievable din when we walked in, the host led as to a smaller room at end of the restaurant that was quiet enough to hear each other talk. We had an appetizers of six skewers, two each of shrimp, chicken and beef; the meats were flavorful and the sauces added well to the whole. I had the salmon that was cooked to the degree of doneness that I had requested -- the fish was flavorful and had a nice crust, and topped a sweet potato mash and a nice ancho sauce. There was a chocolate cake stuffed with mousse that was scrumptious (and larger than we expected -- we left some on the plate). So far, a place worthy of a high four-star review, approaching five stars (which I rarely give). Unfortunately, my wife's experience was not so good. She ordered the mushroom empanadas and got three small pastries with a Chinese-style skin, filled mostly with cheese and small bits of chopped mushrooms. But perhaps the size was to be expected because this was an appetizer. Happily, the waiter perceived her displeasure and took it off our bill. She did not like the cup of wine she ordered, I had a selection from the relatively weak beer list ”

“ I enjoyed the modern vibe of this restaurant and the interior layout. The food and drinks were decent. I liked the regular margarita better than the la medicina cocktail. The quesabirria was good. I would recommend getting it as an appetizer. The esquites were decent. The food wasn't the best Mexican food I had but I liked the vibe of the restaurant. ”

“ With a family of six in the party, including a four-year-old and a two-year-old, and with no reservation, we were seated swiftly by Tyson and given the A+ treatment. In addition to the restaurant, being absolutely beautiful and spacious, the food was incredible. The kids loved the kids meal options, and the adults were enamored by the delicious entrées, especially the birria and enchiladas. And the margaritas! I loved the options to include Mezcal or to make it spicy, and the spice level was perfect for everyone's unique tastes in the party. I found the restaurant to be a perfect place for this group size with the booths providing ample space, and feeling secluded and private. You can tell a lot of thought went into the design of this place. Oh - and how can I forget how much the kids loved the ice cream included in the kids menu. What a great touch! Many thanks to all - and especially Tyson for making it a great experience. ”

“ Is there a star boost feature for ratings? This place needs double the max - OMGGGG - I was here for a work conference and a co-worker wanted to catch a city tour. We needed to eat first and just stumbled upon this place - WOW! The food is SO DANG good!! I used to business travel to Juarez regularly and miss authentic Mexican food - this is as close as I've had in a WHILE. The black beans were a special hit for me, I think they use bacon fat, but whatever it is, it's AMAZING. I would volunteer to work another conference just to be close enough to eat here again. 2025 BIG BACK APPROVED!!! ”

“ Mi Vida came through for us in a pinch on Christmas Day. We stopped by Mi Vida to kill some time before going to the movies, and Mi Vida was one of the few bars (well restaurant with a bar) that was open. This will be a partial review because we only had a couple of margaritas, so we did not have a chance to try the food. Overall, our bartender took good care of us and made our margaritas very well. If you like margaritas that have a bit of a kick (i.e., spicy), then I would highly recommend the Cielo Rojo (the red sky). The blend of watermelon, tequila (of course), and spices gives this beverage an interested and refreshing taste. The dimly-lit restaurant is beautifully decorated and really contributes to a fine dining (or in our case drinking) experience. While we did not have food, I'm sure the food is just as delicious as the other location's. ”

“ Great for happy hour!!! I come here often. This location is within walking distance from my job so it's very easy to drop by and get a quick bite to eat during lunch or even after work and to get drinks. The restaurant itself is BEAUTIFUL and spacious, staff is usually very nice.. will continue to come back. My fav things to get are the birria tacos of course, the crab empanadas, the shrimp and crab guacamole and the wings. A ponche de Lola on the side always seals the deal. ”

“ Loved the overall experience at Mi Vida on a Friday night. I got seated quickly with my reservation and my order was taken by the server soon after I was seated. We ordered the Alitas Adobadas (wings), pecado tacos, camarones tacos, and 2 drinks. The drinks were delicious as well as the food. The wings had a nice amount of spice and the tacos had good flavor. We also got a free bite to try from the manager. The only downside of the restaurant is that it is dark inside and the bathroom is dark too. If you don't like a dark restaurant or a dark restaurant, then I wouldn't suggest the restaurant. If the bathroom was better lit, I would give this place 5 stars. No complaints on the food though! ”
