“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.

    This was the second time I’ve dined at this restaurant. It was worse than the first time. The service was super sub par. And the food was a massive disappointment. Took forever to get and took my brother and I all of 5 minutes to eat it. He got Enchiladas Mole and I got the Burrito. We dined at brunch time. His enchiladas were way better than my burrito. My burrito was legit all egg and the size of an enchilada\taquito. Guacamole was fine. It was a tad salty, but the best thing i ate. I think this is my sign to not dine here again. Sorry.

    Ambience is great with really cool atmosphere. Service was excellent. My only complaint was that every item coming out from the kitchen was heavy handed on the salt.

    just be wary because they have large windows and you may get stuck being blinded by the big screen at capital arena for your whole dinner

    The margaritas were good. I had a frozen passion fruit one and the spicy pineapple special. I really liked the nachos but did not like the tuna (tostada I think?) that much. My husband got enchiladas and really liked them. My kids didn’t really like the kid food options (they got a chicken quesadilla and ate about half) but for adults I think it’s a great spot.
