   Service was friendly but extremely slow. The food came eventually and only one out of four dishes was warm, the rest were cold. Prawn tacos were cold. The nachos with melted cheese were cold. Loaded patatas were the right temperature and quite tasty. The sauce that came with it was not made with fresh garlic though.. The main course food was lovely overall and very tasty but should have been hot. We were so hungry by the time it arrived that we didn't send it back. Desserts were average. There was a great atmosphere and good music but our clothes and hair stank of deep fat fryers after leaving. Won't be back unfortunately.

   My favourite food is Mexican & this was a 1 out of 10. I am truly shocked. I ordered chicken fajitas, the chicken & veg were dry and tasteless. The flour tortillas were tiny and paper thin. Never seen them so tiny before and the margaritas were the worst. I just wanted to cry. I ate & drank nothing. Never going back. They need to find a chef that has actually tasted Mexican food.

   The place wins in interior design, every detail about the Mexican culture is in there with class and great energy. The food is tasty with a sense of authenticity, but rather scarce. For instance: “Flautas” is a plural word in Spanish, and they only serve you one piece at Vida’s, even though it is a large one, the order should consist of a minimum of two pieces to make it Flautas. Otherwise it’s just a flauta. Flautas should come with grated panela cheese or similar, plus a good portion of cream and chopped lettuce. Ours only came with drops of cream which was disgraceful. We were craving for a Pacifico beer as advertised in their menu. But oh surprise! they didn’t have one. Service was great since moment one, on the other hand. And of course chimichangas, guacamole and burritos were fantastic!

   Food took over an hour to come out once ordered. Had to chase for drinks. Mains came out and 10 mins later the sides came out. When the sides came out the jalapeño poppers were frozen. €13 for 2 tacos which is spenny for Mexican. Tacos were good and Frozen Margs were amazing. Staff was nice.

   Vidas exceeded expectations! The food was delicious, bursting with authentic flavors and beautifully presented. The staff were incredibly attentive, making sure everything was perfect throughout the meal. The drinks were top-tier, crafted with care and creativity—definitely a highlight! Recommend the spicy mango. The atmosphere was vibrant and inviting, creating the perfect setting for a great night out. Special thanks to Alejandro, who was a fantastic host and made our experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommended!

    Food is amazing, really really tasty. Feel like going back tonight! Lol Atmosphere is usually nice and chilled but we went last night and they had a DJ, was far too loud for dining. I'll admit maybe I'm just getting old but even it was just a few octaves down. Either way I'll just go on a different evening if Friday is DJ night, I'm sure other people may like it and it's not all about me lol!
