Their guacamole is very good and it is made at the table. The first time we went here I did really like my meal the burrito norteno. The next 2 times I did not care for the carne asada or the beef nachos. Both the steak and beef were overcooked and tasted black without any seasoning. My daughter got the steak fajitas and taco salad. The fajitas were better then the carne asada, but again the salad was bland. The service was efficient and our waiter was friendly and the margaritas were good.

Possibly a chain restaurant (there is another with the same name in Laurel), that has been long awaited by the neighborhood, and opened only weeks ago. Relative to earlier web reviews, the friendliness of and accommodation by attentive staff were excellent (thanks Terry F!). Consistent with its newness, the place was clean, hip, and inviting. On the other hand, and again consistent with prior reviews, the food was bland, small portioned, and pricey (about a third higher than nearby popular Mexican eateries). Don't get me wrong--the cuisine tasted good and is worth another try, but at $23 the shrimp signature dish was mostly white rice, had less flavor than expected/promised, and featured a total of 6 shrimp (that's almost $4 a shrimp!?). We did enjoy the chips and salsa, but because we found the entrees lacking we passed on dessert (there were three made-in-house choices listed that tempted). This can be a true local gem if prices and portion size can be brought in-line, especially since the competition offers flavorful, fresh, generous-sized satisfying meals at reasonable prices. Perhaps a coupon (as a dozen other nearby restaurants promote) would best drive us to try the place again.

Absolutely fantastic homemade latino food! Guacamole was very fresh, chili con queso was not velveeta with chilli. We had the mole sauce with chicken enchiladas. Delicious. Can't wait to come back. Everything I put in my mouth was amazing. Service was excellent. The atmosphere is clean and lively.

While in Annapolis on a recent, crowded Saturday, my husband and I stopped at Vida Taco Bar for lunch. We loved everything with ate and drank! We shared an order of guacamole to start with came with a large size of guacamole and as many chips as you needed. We tried the pork belly, lamb, shrimp, and chorizo which were filling and amazing. The cocktails were really unique and I particularly enjoyed my margarita which was rimmed with salt, lime, and coconut! I thought the meal was a tad on the expensive side, but it is definitely of a high quality and worth a stop!

Stopped here for lunch around noon on a Saturday. There weren't too many people here yet (it doesn't open until 11:30), so we had a section almost all to ourselves. While we munched on the complementary freshly made tortilla chips and very nice house salsa, we perused the menu, finally deciding on the pescado Veracruz (sautéed fish topped with tomatoes, capers, onions, olives, peppers and white wine) with a side for fried sweet plantains. We asked and were told the fish was tilapia - previously when we'd had this dish elsewhere, red snapper (which is traditionally used) was the fish, so we wondered how the tilapia would compare.The food arrived after a short wait and certainly looked good. We sampled the plantains and found them just barely warm - clearly they had been made up first and sat around waiting for the fish to be completed. The fish was a bit long in the tooth - having a distinctly fishy flavor - and compared to snapper (which is firmer) was decidedly mushy to the point of falling apart when we tried to get a forkful. Service was fairly good, although we had three or four servers during the course of the meal so didn't get anything like personalized service. Overall, a good meal, but not the best Mexican that we've had.
