“ Came here as a stop on a long drive, really enjoyed the food. They have a lot of options and it a quiet atmosphere. Servers are friendly and overall was a good experience. ”
“ Amazing dinner tonight for my husband's birthday! They easily and comfortably accommodated 7 people for dinner. We had incredible service with an extremely attentive server. They heard it was my husband's birthday and asked if they could sing and bring him a free birthday shot! The food was fantastic and overall we had a great evening. Great job to the whole staff! ”
“ What more could you want in a Mexican restaurant! Atmosphere reminds me of vacationing in Mexico. It's completely authentic. Sitting at the bar is the best. Staff are so polite and attentive. They answer my many questions about ingredients (I have food restrictions). They're clearly honest with answers too because I have never been sick going here. You have to go during their epic happy hour. $5 margaritas. Add $1 for flavored. Original is best to me. No need to mess with it. Tacos were flavorful, moist and perfectly packed. Definitely going back over and over again ”
“ The food was fresh and very tasty. Waiter was understanding that my wife has a Serious Shrimp allergy and to keep all shrimp dishes and utensils away from her food. ”
“ Very good Mexican! I had the chicken tinga taco salad- very tasty in a fresh fried taco shell. It was a a little salty but I know Tinga tends to be. Also pictured is the chicken enchiladas... Just look at that presentation! There was a different on each one, very unique! Our server was an absolute doll, very attentive, sadly I did not get her name. We appreciated that she did not rush us as we were on a date and just wanted to enjoy each other's company as we don't see each other that often. The jalapeño cilantro margarita... a must have! Had a good amount of heat to it. ”
“ It's always a flavorful time at Vida Mexicana. Vida Mexicana is our go-to sit down Mexican restaurant in the Wallingford area for lunch and dinner. It's located in the Lowe's Plaza next to Chick-fil-a. The dishes are so full of flavor, saucy and fresh. I will crave for their enchiladas. Last time I dined in, I got the Enchiladas Vegetarians. Served with a bright, colorful, green spinach sauce, the enchiladas were stuffed with freshly roasted zucchini, squash, mushrooms and corn. It's so delicious. They have a vegetarian section on the menu too. My favorite dish is the Shrimp Chipotle. A medley of shrimp, mango, pineapple, zucchini, onions, peppers in a slightly spicy, cream chipotle sauce, served over rice. This is a must try. A couple other dishes people in my group have liked are the Carnitas Tapatias and Veggie Yucatan. I do like that Vida's menu isn't overly complicated like some other Mexican restaurants. Every time we dine in, the staff and our waiters have been so nice and attentive. Everyone we encounter throws friendly vibes, from when we are first greeted in and when we leave. The restaurant hardly gets busy, likely from the other food options near by. They all don't know what they are missing. ”
“ Quick stop with the Mrs after a bit of Home Depot shopping across the road and this place has changed hands/mgmt a few times now so we thought why not. I got a margarita flight with 3 choices and the Mrs went for a single classic margarita. Drinks were great with complimentary warm chips and salsa to start with. We shared one appetizer shrimp wrapped in bacon and 3 regular tacos which had beef, chorizo and pork I think but tasted amazing with the side sauces. Sat at the bar, enjoyed the good music and atmosphere. The girl working the bar was attentive and service was very quick. Good experience and definitely yummy drinks for a quick refresher. ”
“ Vida Mexicana is conveniently located on Rt. 5 in Wallingford. The restaurant is fairly large and there is ample parking. I sat in the bar area for dinner, around 5:30pm. Service was fairly fast. I ordered a coconut cream margarita and it was very good. I ordered a coconut mojito post-dinner. I ordered the three enchiladas meal. I had one left over, as I'm not too crazy about ground beef. The two I had were good, but not great. The rice was cooked well, but I wasn't too crazy about the beans - maybe because I'm used to having refried beans in a Mexican restaurant? Overall, I would return, but try a new dish. No room for dessert this time, but I'll have to save room for that next time! The service was excellent. ”
