“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.

Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Mi Vida Penn Quarter offers a "magical and mystical" ambiance with "delicious food" and "excellent service." Known for its prime location near Capital One Arena, it's perfect for pre-event dining. While the noise level can be high, the attentive staff and flavorful Mexican dishes, like the pork shank, make it a must-visit in DC.

    Even for someone who has a lot of business lunches at nicer restaurants, I found Pura Vida to be over priced.

    I had an incredible experience at this Mexican restaurant! The food was fresh, full of flavor, and perfectly seasoned—everything tasted amazing. Our server was friendly, attentive, and knew the menu well, which helped us choose some great dishes. My only complaint is that the restaurant was a bit too dark, which made it hard to fully enjoy the beautiful presentation of the food. Despite that, I’m excited to go back and try more of the menu!
