RECOMMEND FOR CATERING & DINING: I’ve been a fan of Vida Mia restaurant for years now. Their chilaquiles are my favorite! When I needed catering for a celebratory event, I called them for catering. And they did amazingly great! The food was delicious and all my guests were happy with it. We ordered individual charcuterie boxes. They were a hit. The delivery was on time and the service was excellent. They even met my special request to have some without cheese or nuts because of allergies. I can’t recommend Vida Mia enough for dining in AND catering your next event.

Appearance of the interior is nicely done . The food is affordable and delicious but the only thing I had an issue with is the tortillas . I love soft and fluyy tortillas. The tortilla is what makes or breaks a taco. These were to crunchy and flaky. Great place affordable and delicious just needs to work on those flour tortillas.

Food and service was great! Our server was absolutely on point. The enchiladas enfrijoladas are the absolute best along with the enchiladas Norteńas.

Hosted my sisters baby shower here, and while I may admit we had a few hiccups along the way - I’m still giving them 5 stars BC of their willingness to help, accommodate, and for their service the day of. They are affordable, offer amazing food, and did a great job with decorations. The only downside is their hours of operation, since it’ll make it hard to do an evening event there. But, if you’re looking for somewhere to host a breakfast or brunch event, Vida Mia is the best place to have it!

Excellent Mexican breakfast items cooked a little shy of conventional mexican breakfast items; very tasty, subtle spicy meals which are quite good!!

I’ve been here several times. This place has many good options and probably the best place in San Antonio for chilaquiles. I love the complimentary cup of fideo soup they give you at lunch time. Yum. The reason I’m not giving them 5 stars is that their coffee is usually weak and the coffee cups are too small. Other than that give them a try.

Second time coming here, definitely great food. Everything has a good amount of flavor. This picture is from the first time since we were just ready to dig in this second time around. Service is great even if they are busy, for the people commenting about not enough flavor or none i would hope you got check out or tested for covid prior to going in public places to eat. Definitely recommend this place and Itzel was great!

-Nice little restaurant.-Not too clean (pic included)-kind of slow service.****Weird thing----asked for salsa de árbol to taste and the waitress told us let me check if they(kitchen people) can give me some.-Menu needs to explain what the plates include ( pic inculded).--NEVER got drink refills.-Only one person takes the orders in the restaurant.-The food needs flavor. It looks good in the plate but once u taste it. Theres no flavor.-Got free fideo, but again It has no flavor.-Not really a restaurant I would return.

I would love to share 5 stars because of how delicious their food is. However note to owner/manager you need more wait staff. 2 waitresses, 1 busboy, and the Manger just behind the counter not helping the staff for a Sunday morning. You have great Vegan and Vegetarian options so I’ll be back. But help the staff out. The Vegan Pozole is awesome!!!

The wait at the table was long, refills non-existent until directly requested. The presentation was beautiful, but barely any flavor. The beans tasted like they came from a can and barely any gauc in the guacamole.

The worst breakfast tacos I have ever in my life!! I think they dont like black people because I see a lot of 5 stars and pictures of tacos and they all look better then mine if your black do not go here they will serve you bad food...

Food had no flavor! This is definitely NOT authentic tasting at all! Our food took forever to get to us, and the the entire atmosphere stench of egg. The salsa is tomatoes and water.

Response to owners.No most of that happened a little over nine months ago and more. I havent been back since the 3rd of March last weekend everything was so good I wanted to update the rating and I guess Google decided to bump the whole review.Only thing I could complain about during my last visit was I had ordered four tacos and ended up with only three . Those were some really awesome tacos I really missed not having the fourth one I was only charged for 3 so no worries.I know it cant be easy keeping a restaurant as busy as yours as consistent as your team does.Thanks for your concern.when you guys are really on your game I dont think anybody else makes better tacos then you guys.See you again soon.Old review over 9 months ago On my last visit I noticed they dont have an updated Health Department score they have two old papers one saying 80 and one saying 85 I do believe next to their certificate of occupancy. Kind of Hidden Away from view behind the counter it would be nice to see a clearly posted Health Department score .Okay apparently this is not a good place to sit and vegetate at on a Sunday morning contemplating your week and relaxing from the previous one.I must say that several times this place has really been busy and Ive had to wait a while for a table or find another place to eat at .I never noticed anyone rushing to leave so I could have a seat. Not that Im in any way spiteful or did anything spiteful it seems that the owners feel that I did its been mentioned more than three times now that they remember me because I was the guy that sat there relaxing after his meal I might add was enjoying several cups of coffee and letting my food settle theres a lot of times I dont get to do this during the week dont have much time to.No one seems to notice the generous 20% or more tips that I leave how courteous and respectful I try to be and how clean I leave my setting when Im finished everyone just seems to remember that I was that guy that sat there too long enjoying their coffee while they were so busy.I really cant say that inspires a welcome feeling.These people make the best tortillas and salsa in town.They also keep their salsa very fresh they serve it in small amounts in glass bottles made for pancake syrup in such.Ive been here quite a few times and have mostly had all good experiences.I had a beef enchilada once that reminded me of eating Alpo not that Ive ever tried any but certainly had the flavor that Alpo smells like.And today when I was there picking up my breakfast taco order there was a male employee. with a bucket on the counter next to their soda machine where they prepare meals for customers he had a bucket on that counter pouring cleaner into it.Its the simple little things like that.That really disappoint me when it comes to going out to eat he was doing this right behind the owner as I was paying for my meal. And there were plenty of other senior employees standing there that didnt say anything.why because this is the typical kind of thing people do .I could do that kind of thing myself at home.So please keep it in mind Vita Mia that all your customers are kind of like food inspectors and some of them might not like what they see it might not have anything to do with the quality of your food that they dont come back so often.This place is really good I really do enjoy an authentic Mexican meal here.Things happen so please try to keep the chemicals away from the food.

After reading past reviews and because of the high ratings I figured Id stop in and try it out. It was ok, just that... ok. The beans and guacamole/pico were really good, but the fajitas I though were bland. Chips were good and two of the three salsas I liked. I probably should have eaten something with higher reviews. I do recommend trying it out and forming you own opinion it may have just been me or an off day.

Review №26

I was excited to try this place due to their high reviews and vegan options, but it was a HUGE disappointment. No one could actually tell me what was in the vegan enchiladas or what some of the menu items were. I placed a to-go order for my family and none of us could even make it halfway through our plates. The food was dry, bland, visually unappealing, and surprisingly terrible, to say the least. It couldnt even be saved with extra salt or salsa. Im really sorry I wasted my money here because it definitely wasnt cheap. There isnt a shortage of TexMex restaurants in San Antonio, so dont waste your time or funds here.

My nephew told about this place awhile back and I decided to give it a try. I had the Chile Relleno which was super tasty. Cant wait to try the other menu items that looked really great. Service was really good also. See you again real soon.

There used to be a good restaurant with same name near bulverde/evans. Not sure if this is same management / cooks with just the location changed.Edit: Based on the response of the owner confirming that they have changed location but the same place, I wish to add.This is an awesome restaurant. They have good options and their beans are not cooked in a non veg broth. One of the few mex restaurants that has good veg options.Their complementary salsas are really good and I live that they have 3 options. I have the spiciest. My wife the mildest and daughter the medium one.The staff are very friendly and give good suggestions.

I asked for over easy eggs on my chilaquiles, one side of the egg was over cooked and the other side raw, the green sauce on my chilaquiles tasted bitter, the courtesy sauce for the chips and salsa tastes really plain like watered down, come on! this used to be a pretty good restaurant a few months ago, i was excited to eat some good chilaquiles and i totally got disappointed, so sad many restaurants like this got cheap over time, sorry but now i dont feel like coming back.

Really bad service and food, came and they were only two waitress for all the tables, they took like 10 min to came and give us the menu, when the food arrive, it was cold and without flavor. The courtesy chips and salsa were horrible, it tasted like the salsa just came form a can, the egg that came in my chilaquiles was raw and the salsa was horrible I think they use the same as the chips and salsa. Never coming again, It was ok at first whenever they open, but now they reduce their quality.

This is my second time coming to this restaurant and I love the molletes here, strongly recommend this plate . Unfortunately our experience wasn’t very pleasant, as we entered the building we didn’t really feel welcomed and greeted so we decided to seat our selfs, our waitress Guadalupe was very nice and attentive, overall the place was a little messy, and the menu did not have any type of description for the food I enjoy coming here for breakfast.

Service was very slow. Sat almost 10 minutes before getting a menu and ordering my coffee and water. Food to close to 30 minutes to come out (pozole and a taco). Watched a mother with 3 well behaved kids wait just as long as I did for their food. Pozole was bland, and hominy had been overcooked to the point it had disintegrated.

My son recommended Vida Mia for their Chiles Rellenos. Wow, I certainly found the taste to be outstandingly delicious. Since then, I’ve had the Pozole, Albondigas, and Tacos Dorados. All super delicious. Can’t wait to go back and I try the Chilaquiles because I’ve heard they are the best in town.

Your restaurant was recommended to me a few years back by an employee who mentioned that Vida Mia was a true phenomenal great tasting authentic Mexican restaurant. After hearing about how good the chilaquiles were, I decided to give you all a try. I have to say I was totally impressed with my meal. I will certainly give Vida Mía my seal of approval!! The Chilaquiles with chorizo con huevo took this dish to an even higher level.

If you like to admire your plate, appreciate the beauty and presentation, whilst you take pictures to post on Facebook, this place is for you.If you like to eat your plate of food and appreciate the taste and flavors, go somewhere else.Very bland. Even the salsa is bland. Salt and pepper doesnt help. Seems theyre cooking for 70 year old gringos.

Im from Mexico City, and I can say with confidence that this is as close as youre getting to authentic Mexican food in San Antonio. Never disappointing, order anything that calls to you! Truly worth mentioning are the breakfast items— their chilaquiles are worth traveling long distances for. Pro tip— when they say the Speedy González is spicy, they mean it!

We had lunch with family so the wait is not terrible. Although, a bit bummed the order I placed was wrong, we had to call our waitress over to ask for refills, chips, salsa, etc. Gratuity was already included so sometimes I feel that good service is not a priority once gratuity is included. First experience at this resturant, and it more than likely will be our last.

This is one of my favorites, I invited my best friend to try their chilaquiles. I had been bragging about them for some time. She lives pretty far from this spot. We finally made it in last Sunday only to find that they were understaffed that day, we waited a long time for our food. Kept running out of coffee and when we finally got out food it was cold and the chilaquiles had gotten soggy!. Our waitress was doing her best. Management should do better at staffing on weekends. It was a big disappointment.

We love this restaurant and frequently order through favor. We have never had any issues with our order and food is always amazing! But today we were let down. Tacos range from $1.30 to $3.00 and they usually stuff it full but today we got extremely skimpy tacos. Like my husband thought that they sent extra tortillas but it turned out to be tacos. Im hoping that they just had someone new making the tacos and this wont be a new norm because 3$ for a taco is a bit pricey and we wont continue to buy tacos from here If this is the new serving size. I TRIED TO CALL AND NO ONE ANSWERED IT JUST RANG AND RANG. I have 3 kids, 2 of which are twins, I dont have time to call over and over. How about you dont tell your customers what to do and just accept the fact that our tacos were not up to normal standard, maybe apologize instead? I also never accused yall of changing the price I just listed what the prices were. Not sure that we will ever order again now.

I tried to eat here a few months ago, but came on a Tuesday evening after they closed at 3pm (Sun-Thur 7am-3pm). Came back recently on a Friday evening (open 7am - 9:30pm Fri & Sat) to try it and was very impressed. Ive now been there twice in the last month with my family and its now our new new favorite. True authentic Mexican food, delicious, and the service is very good. Tacos Dorados are outstanding. After our last visit, we talked with the owner and his daughter who does most of the cooking. Both are very nice and truly appreciate their customers. Homemade pastries are excellent as well. Overall great experience and plan to return many times.

I just called awhile ago (11:45 am) 06-04-2019 asked politely for the name of the manager. She said the owner and manager are not available now but I can call back Sat. I then said ok but can I please have the name of the manager? She hung up on ME!! Before I can finish my sentence How Rude!!! I call back same lady answered. I nicely asked again for the name of the manager You know what her response was?? Ms. you just called a minute ago & I said the owner & manager are not here now. Yes, I know you did mention that but all I want is the name of the owner or manager. Rudely she said Mr. Ramos. Never have I crossed a person that rude. I understand that it is a busy time to call but come on you got to have a little patience. It is as if she thought I was calling to complaint which I was not. But now I am. Thanks to her. Never mind I am now giving a BAD REVIEW Thanks to her.
