   Food is consistently delicious. Waitstaff attentive without hovering. Ambiance pleasant for date night or group of friends. Noise level low enough that one can talk without screaming about music. A nice place to dine weekday dinner or weekend brunch.

    It was for my birthday but it was also restaurant week. The amount of food for the price was well worth it. I appreciated the waitress walking us through the menu and engaging in conversation. She was very patient and made the experience better. I’ve been to this restaurant before different location and the experience was amazing! Definitely recommend

    Hubby and I ate here during restaurant week. Really delicious fresh food and good portions. However, it was really busy so we ended up waiting a long time for each course. But really nice server. Overall, we would come back again

    Our new favorite restaurant in DC! We LOVE Mi Vida!! Favorites: La Buena Vida margarita is fabulous. The Birria entree is incredible. Chicken suizas enchiladas are delicious. All the tacos are great: chicken, steak, fish. Queso fundido with chorizo is excellent. Tacos dorados (like flautas) are so so so good. Rice and beans are terrific with everything. I love the cornbread. And the avocado mousse that comes with the wings is so good… we ask for it as a side with our meal and it provides some relief from some of the spicier selections. BUT. We do have a recommendation. There are a few things on the menu that are just too spicy! The tomatillo salsa that comes with the chips is just really too spicy. It blows out your palate and you cannot taste anything else for a while. Nearly ruined our delicious dinner last time. Really could use a salsa that is more accessible for those who can take the heat, but not that much heat. Same with the wings. They were so spicy that they were inedible. I also recommend giving some relief for the palate like having crema available with spicier dishes to help your guests out. We order that avocado mousse as a side for that purpose, and because it is super tasty. Please don’t change the menu to be boring, but I would love to be able to eat a few more things on the menu if there could be a more tolerable spice level offered. But Mi Vida is, again, our favorite new DC restaurant and we eat here a few times a month. The restaurant is beautiful and modern. Service is always outstanding. And the food is divine. We are looking forward to the opening of the Penn Quarter location in 2023. Please keep the delicious food coming!

    I love trying new spots, have previously been to Mi Vida on Wharf. When we arrived we got the table we wanted, the server came and greeted us. She was extremely nice and helpful. We got the Queso Fundido, when it came out it had chorizo, I do not eat pork due to religious reasons, she was quick to catch that and fired a replacement right away. For this reason, I waited a while to get my queso and felt left out of the appetizers round. The food here feels like a hit or miss, the cornbread was not good, it had a random lemon taste to it. The plantains were okay not enough sour cream or cheese. The esquites also needed more Cotija cheese. For Entrées we got the carne asada and the birria short rib. I asked for Medium Well but my carne asada came out undercooked. The short rib was good, might’ve needed to cook for a little longer because it was a bit hard/not easy to shred. Lastly, the food just took a while to come to the table, I felt like we were waiting for food most of the time we were there.

    We felt rushed the entire evening and the server was a bit dismissive when we opted not to order cocktails. The food was ok but generally one dimensional and overly salty. We had a more pleasant experience at the Wharf location.

    Really good food, super cute ambiance. I loved the branzino with salsa on top, it was unique and delicious the nachos were amazing, unique Smokey flavor! The corn bread with chunks of corn inside with lemony tones was to die for, I got a side too to-go. We will totally be going back.

    The was my first trip to Mi Vida and I will definitely go back. The atmosphere and decor of the restaurant was very cool and they did an amazing job turning the old Matchbox into a really beautiful space. The service was excellent from the moment we were seated until we paid the check. It was really easy to get a table for our party as well. And the best part: the food! Everything was delicious and I haven’t had mole that good in a long time. I highly recommend Mi Vida!

    I like the ambiance. This restaurant is very pretty. The remodel was done very nicely. The food was too salty! I had to wipe the chips off because there was so much salt. The meat in the taco was also very salty. I may try it, again….but, I’m not sure.

    Dinner was for my friend's bday so I didn't want to make a complaint, but the steak - tho tasty - was far too rare (I'd asked for medium.) The margarita was weak and the music doesn't really need to be that loud. Waiter was very nice but forgot the utensils and he disappeared once the food was served. Guac was good also, but too small of a portion. Great atmosphere, nice decor, cool building.

    Very loud although it wasn’t crowded. I’d been excited about the mushroom tacos but they were not good at all. The entrees are overpriced. The salsa is too spicy.
