    Not very impressed during our dinner here. Tacos were a bit dry and the service was spotty. They checked drinks often but left our plates on the table way past we were done eating. It is very noisy inside and not the nice waterfront I remember from years ago. Margaritas were good and prices were reasonable but I wouldn’t return.

    We had an absolutely incredible experience at Mi Vida Wharf. From the moment we arrived, the service was warm, professional, and accommodating—despite us running a little late due to traffic. The team handled everything with such grace, even offering us complimentary dessert and a beautiful outdoor table to ensure we still had a great evening. The food was exceptional—every dish was full of flavor and beautifully presented. The drinks were top-notch, and our server was phenomenal—attentive, friendly, and thoughtful throughout the night. As a bonus, we got to watch the fireworks from the Wharf, which made the evening truly magical. Our kids were in dessert heaven with churros, flan, chocolate cake, and tres leches. Needless to say, everyone left full and happy. A memorable night at a fantastic restaurant—we’ll definitely be back!
