Reviews for Vida Mexicana Wallingford CT in Wallingford, CT

Let?s start with the good: -Nice people. -Clean. -Cold beer. The bad: The margaritas are fruit juice. We had 3 varieties; not... one had a trace of tequila. They we noticed the bartender doing a 1-second pour. You may as well order them virgin and save 3people $45. Switched to beer. The food is bland. The fajitas are honestly better at chilis. Don?t describe your carnitas as?pulled pork? and deliver these fatty chunks of bland unappetizing pork. It?s to the point you don?t even bother takingleftovers. Again, nice people. Clean place. Just some work to do. Read more

10.21.22 Our 1st visit and we loved it. Walking in we were greeted by friendly faces and seated right away. Our waitress was... polite, cheerful, and checked in on us during our meal. I loved the salsa and asked if we could buy some for home. Sheremembered at the end of our meal and after checking with her manager sold us salsa. Yay. The margarita, flan dessert, and mealwas flavorful and served quickly. We left before the music started but hope to visit again. Bar area looked like a nice spottoo. Good vibe. Read more

I was greeted on a staurday night by a welcoming and friendly staff. Zero wait time for a table of 3. A basket of Tortilla... chips were immediately brought out, hot and fresh. The salsa was delicious. I love the atmosphere of this place. Very clean andupbeat. I ordered carne asada tacos and a frozen margarita flight. The food was ready in under 10 minutes and tasted great. Mylady ordered a chimichanga, she said it was good but the chicken could have been seasoned a little more. Overall, I enjoyed myvisit. Read more

Everything was good, we order meat chimichanga and chicken flautas. The flavor was outstanding. The Margaritas were good as... well. I will definitely come back. Read more

The table side guacamole is so freaking good. I literally ate here multiple times, in-person and take out and everything was... delicious! Really enjoyed the atmosphere and the fact that the take out didn?t taste any different! One thing I didn?t like wasone of the nights I came to pick up food and the staff at the front was a bit rude and acted as if I was bothering them. That Ididn?t like at all. It was just that once so I won?t hold it against the restaurant. Would absolutely recommend. Read more

Ordered for the first time with DoorDash pickup and my order was ready within 20 minutes. Not too many cars in the parking lot... when I arrived at 12:45pm. The order was ready for pickup when I arrived. The burrito had a nice grilled taste and was veryfiling. The churros were cooked perfectly and are filled with dulce de leche. Read more

Delicious food and plenty of options to choose from. We thoroughly enjoyed the nachos with chicken as an app. It felt lighter... and healthier then typical nachos elsewhere. Atmosphere was nice and the place was lively. Looking forward to heading back! Only complaint is our waitress did not check in with use from the time our app was served to the time she asked if we wanted ourbill. We ran out of water at the start of our meals and were unfortunately quiet thirsty. Read more

DO NOT EAT HERE. Ordered takeout last night. Huge cockroach in my nachos (see photo I posted). Husband called the restaurant... and they offered to replace the food. Replace it?! Why would I want to eat food from a kitchen with roaches?! They ultimatelyrefunded us but the manager wasn?t even interested in seeing the cockroach in the food (my husband offered to drive back withit). The worst part about this is that I am pregnant and this could have made me really sick had I eaten the food!!!! Read more
