What Krista R doesn't like about Vida Cantina:
I was very disappointed with this restaurant. The menu looked great, but the food did not live up to expectations. The tacos had cold guacamole and salsa, plain cabbage slaw, and strangely sweet tortillas. The chips were lackluster and under seasoned. Overall, everything lacked salt and acidity. The salsas were just okay, but also needed more seasoning and heat. The service and drinks were good, and the atmosphere of... View all feedback. What User likes about Vida Cantina:
Trendy restaurant with a cool, bohemian atmosphere. Great selection of food and drinks, plenty of seating available! The kimchi Korean tacos and black bean enchilada are both delicious options. View all feedback.

They have vegan options marked and have each labeled that can be made vegan! the only lower side that they serve a pighead plate that is very set off.

Aways my go-to for authentic mexican made with fresh, local ingredients. Menu has several vegan/vegetarian options.

Tortilla Chip and Taco Shell with my lunch today, I got the sour drink from the menu that was perfect! Great drinks, people and food!

Hip place with a boho vibe. Good options and good drinks, lots of outdoor space! The kimchi Korean tacos are good and so is the black bean enchilada.

Go for a happy hour and have a margarita. The avocado tacos and the calender salad are delicious. Great staff also

I ordered the seitan carne asada tacos, but they were too spicy for my taste. I found them too hot to eat due to my sensitive palate.

The atmosphere is good. Food tastes great. The only reason I didn’t give 5 stars is because the delicious “blue corn fried shrimp” tacos were impossible to eat...

This place is so delicious! Everything is made fresh and with so much flavor. Their handmade chips and Salsa Fresca are some of the best- as are their tacos! We...

Holy mole! This place ruled. I didn't think I'd ever find this level of Mexican food in the east coast, but boy was I wrong! If you're into spicy food, then you...
