    Food was ok! Nothing special and lacked a little flavor. I had the Cali Burrito Surf & Turf. Customer service was great and the girls were sweet.

    Valarie made the experience a 10! I have only been here twice and she consistently met us with a smile and positive attitude. I have had enchiladas and tacos. They are consistently awesome. The only issue I have had is that the rice and beans have came out consistently cold. Both times they have quickly fixed the issue. This last time, Valerie went above and beyond to make it right. This kind of customer service and great food will make use continue to patronize this restaurant! Impressive, beyond today's standards!

    We ordered dinner for delivery, and everything was incredible! The calabacitas, asada, shrimp, and birria tacos were outstanding, as were the fajitas. The rice is fantastic, and i love the refried black beans. The portions were extremely generous, so it was a good value also. I would absolutely eat here again when I'm back in town.

    Such a great lunch spot! We just had lunch at Que Vida and it was such a pleasant experience. I ordered two asada tacos, and they were incredible. The tortillas were handmade, with cheese melted on before the asada, toppings, and salsa were added. My coworker ordered the two-item combo with an asada taco and chicken enchiladas. You get free chips and salsa with your meal, and not just one salsa but three delicious ones. All three were amazing. The food was incredible, and the vibes were even better. The two ladies who helped us order were so sweet and friendly. We ended up chatting about matcha, and they gave us a few menu recommendations to try. I wish I had gotten their names because they made our experience so enjoyable. The restaurant also has free Wi-Fi, which was helpful since we had to get some work done while we ate.
