Reviews for Vida Cantina in Portsmouth, NH
Wonderful food, atmosphere, and staff! Great homemade hot sauce and tortillas. Cuban sandwich and Al pastor tacos were our... favorites, but everything was great! Read more
An excellent choice for tacos and margaritas Wait staff is friendly and the overall experience was pleasant. Rice was... disappointing, works with mole or beans but by itself was extremely dry and just a complete miss. Read more
The staff is super friendly and welcoming. The chef's clearly do a great job because the food comes out looking beautiful. The... margaritas were very tasty and strong. However, I was not impressed with the menu options and the excessive amount of everythingbeing gluten free. If you prefer or need gluten free, you'll love this. If you're looking for authentic Mexican food, this isnot the place to be. Read more
Margaritas were decent but our food came out cold and very under seasoned. The rice and beans were extremely bland and in... desperate need of salt. And service took forever. We waited over 45 minutes for tacos… Needless to say I wouldn’t be comingback again. Read more

It was our first time, and it was delicious! Would be nice to have free chips and salsa because we skipped it at the price of... $7. The waitstaff was friendly. The food came quickly. The crispy chicken sandwich was superb. So much more than just a chickensandwich! It was one of the best sandwiches I ever had. My dining partner had enchiladas in a oaxacan mole sauce. He said theywere wonderful. I stuck my fork into the sauce and it was the best mole I've had in many many years. Will go back. Read more
Excellent food all around. My black mole carnitas enchiladas were great, the tortillas being the stars and the mole rich in... flavor. The handmade chips and salsa were perfect as well. My only complaint was that my dinner needed a bit more acid, whichwas easily fixed with a squeeze of lime. Oh, and the ghost pepper sauce was a perfect blend of heat and flavor. I'll definitelybe back. Read more
Seriously the dishes on their menu are a true culinary experience. We have tried an extensive amount of their menu from... appetizers to tacos to daily specials to pizza and even including the pig head platter. Nothing at this restaurant has ever notblown us away. The drink menu is amazing in itself. We love this restaurant for a date night or a family dinner, we eat in or dotake out. Their chips guacamole and salsa are a go to for football Sundays. The pizza they make is some of the best pizzaportsmouth had to offer, don't wait just go now. Read more
