    This place is a gem! Very cool interior. They also have a rooftop that is very pretty. The service was great and our server gave us really good recommendations. And the food was delicious. Everything we had was very tasty. I could literally drink the salsa out of the cup! definitely a place to visit if you were looking for tasty Mexican food and drinks with a cool atmosphere

    Great ambiance! It was my first time dining here an i couldnt be more pleased with the experience. Right off the bat i loved the decorations. My waitress Renee was pleasant and very informative when it came to the menu. 10/10 i definitely will return in the near future.

    First time at Vida Verde and it was a great experience. The food was delicious, the drinks were great. Loved the holiday special drinks. Daiyyah W. was my waitress. Constantly checked in to see if my table was good. Thank you for a great time!

    Taco Tuesday review:$10 nets you 3 tacos, but they all have to be the same kind, so you cant mix and match fillings. Boooo! That said, the quality of the tacos is unexpectedly decent for a Midtown joint, at least where the Carnitas Tacos were concerned: juicy, meaty, savory, and loaded with veggies. Mmmm!We ordered the double size of the Chips and Guac, and it couldve easily satiated all 6 of us. They even served the guacamole with tomatoes on one side and onions on the other, in case people had preferences for the mix-ins. Nice.Drink-wise, we got the Happy Hour Frozen Pomegranate Margarita ($10), which was too tart, and pitchers of the Red Sangria (tasty) and Cucumber Margarita (super refreshing).Throw in the colors and the Millennial-geared Top 40 music, and youve got yourself a good Tuesday night.

    Sokaina G was our server and she was extremely sweet and hospitable! She even brought us out free apricot shots at the end of the night, soo much fun! The food, drinks, music, and vibes were all 10 out of 10!

    Ralph’a service was incredible ! We came for brunch and he was very attentive and polite. He made sure our brunch drinks were filled and that all our requests were met . Thank you Ralph for making my best friends birthday Brunch am amazing experience. I hope you get to service us again 🙏🏼

    Viva Verde offers an exceptional dining experience that makes you eager to return. Despite a minor hiccup with our reservation—we were initially seated at a high top despite requesting regular seating due to a back problem—the staff quickly resolved it within five minutes, relocating us to a more comfortable spot.From there, everything was smooth sailing. The drinks were dangerously delicious—deceptively smooth yet strong, a perfect balance.We started with the trio of guacamole and crispy chips, which were quickly devoured. The salmon tacos were equally amazing, bursting with fresh flavors.While the prices are a bit high, the quality of food and service makes it worth it. Our server was incredibly attentive and kind, enhancing our dining experience.After dinner, we checked out the cozy second-floor bar and rooftop, perfect for a Thursday night.Overall, Viva Verde earns a well-deserved 5/5. We cant wait to visit again!

    This was my first time here and it was an amazing experience. Renee was great ! She gave great food and drink recommendations. When I come back I hope she can be my server again

  • Review 11 (2024-04-17 - Rating: 4)

    We enjoyed ourselves there. The atmosphere was very upbeat, almost too clubby at times with the volume of music but it was 8pm so I guess it was fine. The restaurant was definitely busy, it was taco Tuesday. We both had the mix and match $6 tacos that were on special and the $5 Tecates.The service was fine. Nothing above and beyond but very nice and friendly. We were greeted at the door and were given a table for two. I like the fact that we were in one of the corners because there was a lot going on.I think the only downside of the experience, which wasn’t the restaurant’s fault, was the drunk 30-something year old white woman who was literally so loud and so drunk she was disturbing everyone. I don’t think she should have kept doing shots of tequila, but I guess to each their own. She was just a problem for everyone and was so loud it kept interrupting our conversation and meal.The food was very good. We tried 4 different tacos each and they each had different delicious qualities. If you like trying variety, Tuesday night is definitely the night to go because you can get a little something of all different kinds of tacos.All in all, I would definitely go back again.

    Renee was a sweetheart! the ambiance is very nice w/ great music. food was good too :) i got the mushroom quesadilla and queso (although the queso is basically melted shredded cheese, not traditional queso) but overall good spot

  • Review 13 (2025-01-03 - Rating: 5)

    Vida Verde in NYC is a must-visit! The 818 Spicy Margarita and Tequila Smoked Old Fashioned were both incredible—perfectly crafted and packed with flavor. We also tried the flight of guacamole, and it was out of this world, especially paired with the perfectly salted chips. The brisket quesadillas were ridiculously good. Everything we ordered was spot-on. We had the plantains as an add on, also amazing. It was a Thursday night and the DJ was pumping out great music. Highly recommend—10/10!

  • Review 14 (2024-06-10 - Rating: 4)

    I visited here on a Tuesday afternoon. Which happened to be taco Tuesday. I wasn’t very hungry, so I only ordered 2. I ordered the fish taco and the salmon taco (a first for me). I really enjoyed the salmon taco, it was tasty and well balanced in flavors. The portion of salmon was nice. I enjoyed the fish taco too, my only complaint is that there was way too much sauce. It was difficult to eat and also unnecessary as far as what’s needed for the taco. I really enjoyed that the fish taco had some really crispy pieces in there, sort of like chicharrón but it was fish. I thought this addition really elevated the textures and flavor of the dish.The service was great, the encounter at the door was awkward and strange. I stood in front of the hostess and he said nothing so I greeted him and he simply just asked for my I.D.- it felt a bit unwelcoming and cold. However, the bartender (I sat at the bar) was very extremely nice and attentive. I liked that she said things in English and Spanish when she said cheers and to enjoy my food. The frozen margarita was average, I was a bit too early for the happy hr but it tasted like a standard classic frozen margarita. There are only two flavor options and you can mix them (I thought it would be too sweet if I did that).The ambiance is very nice, the place is large and the restrooms are clean and pleasant.Overall it was a wonderful experience with the food and service- I look forward to returning for happy hr.

    Shout out to Joey as a top-notch bartender, extremely attentive, competent, fast, and aware of everyone that stops by the bar. Great bites from appetizers, entrees, desserts, and drinks of course. The place has multiple beautifully decorated floors and great music but can get very packed. Always a go-to happy hour in the area if theres room.

  • Review 16 (2023-08-09 - Rating: 5)

    We were in the mood for a festive dining experience that included margaritas and we hit the jackpot here. Super cool vibe. Very attentive service. Missed happy hour so go before 7pm. But we did get the Taco 🌮 Tuesday special & the tacos were fantastic. Enjoyed the chicken more than the carnitas. Sadly chips & salsa are not complimentary but ordering the guacamole was a good choice - delicious and a huge serving we couldn’t even finish. Check out the rooftop bar too. Again, great vibe up there but limited views. Recommend!!

  • Review 17 (2024-11-05 - Rating: 5)

    Great food. Great atmosphere. I want the giant disco ball.The staff did a really amazing job catering to my gluten allergy when I ordered something I didnt realize would have gluten (the menu also shows GF items, this was not marked). Both the hostess and the chef were amazing to make sure I would be okay with a menu change, and provided a courtesy gluten allergies dont always get. Thank you!

  • Review 18 (2024-12-30 - Rating: 5)

    Vida Verde was amazing! The food was fresh and flavorful, especially the Chorizo Nachos, and the margaritas were perfect. Our server, Rene, was outstanding—attentive, friendly, and made great recommendations. I’ll definitely be back!

  • Review 19 (2024-11-08 - Rating: 5)

    Vida Verde was the perfect spot for a night out with friends. The music created a lively atmosphere, and the food and drinks were delicious. But what truly made the evening special was the exceptional service provided by Renee. Her warm and welcoming demeanor made us feel right at home. We cant wait to return for their margarita tower

  • Review 20 (2023-12-08 - Rating: 5)

    They have the best nachos here and the drinks are great too. They have a weekend brunch special which includes unlimited drinks for $30 with a entrée purchase. That’s a good deal in NYC. Also the staff here is incredibly nice. Loved coming here and I’ll be back!

  • Review 21 (2024-09-15 - Rating: 5)

    I recently dined at here, and while the food was excellent, what truly made the experience stand out was the impeccable service provided by Ralph. From the moment we walked in, Ralph welcomed us with a warm smile and an attentive demeanor, making us feel like valued guests.Throughout the meal, Ralph was attentive without being intrusive. He anticipated our needs, ensuring our drinks were always topped up and offering thoughtful suggestions from the menu. His knowledge of the dishes and wine pairings was impressive, and his recommendations truly enhanced our dining experience. Ralph’s professionalism and genuine warmth set a new standard for hospitality. Ralph’s service elevated the evening to something truly memorable. If you’re looking for a place where you can enjoy not just great food but also outstanding service, I highly recommend dining here—and be sure to ask for Ralph. You won’t be disappointed!

    Renee has been an absolute pleasure. Her recommendations for food, drinks and desserts were spot on. We kept hogging and drinking to our fullest 😁The atmosphere is lit and the songs were amazing. Definitely recommend. And will be back for the margarita tower

  • Review 29 (2024-09-05 - Rating: 4)

    We live in the area so we decided to try it. We ate on the rooftop deck. It was very nice. Not too many people for a Wednesday night. Drinks are a little small in my opinion but satisfying. Had just a regular margarita. The chips and salsa were delicious! Perfect chips and the salsa was amazing. Got the wings and they were cooked perfectly and had a nice, lightly crunchy outside. The only downside would be the homemade buffalo sauce. That’s the only option for sauce they offer. I would suggest more wings sauce flavors. The wings are so good they deserve a better sauce. Overall the experience was great.

    My recent visit to Vida Verde was nothing short of delightful. Savoring one of their renowned margaritas, I was pleasantly surprised to discover that it was among the best in town.The margarita was expertly crafted, striking the perfect balance of sweetness and tanginess, with just the right amount of tequila kick. Each sip transported me to a state of pure bliss, making it clear why Vida Verde has garnered such acclaim for its cocktails.Beyond the exceptional libations, the ambiance of the restaurant further elevated the experience.In addition to the outstanding margarita, the service was impeccable. The staff was attentive and knowledgeable, ensuring that every aspect of my visit was enjoyable.Overall, my experience at Vida Verde was nothing short of exceptional. Whether youre a margarita aficionado or simply looking for a memorable dining experience, I highly recommend paying them a visit.

    Came here on a weekday, and the place was packed. I cant believe this is my first time here. I really love the vibe and decorations there. The stuffs were super nice and friendly. We tried couple their signature cocktails, omgggg, so entertaining, fire, sprinkles, and ice pop, I LOVE ALL. I do like their food too, also they do have VEGAN options, that is so great. We are definitely going back there again!

    We were at the rooftop for my friends proposal and the place was great. Asia was very attentive and was extremely professional and really did a great job at getting our drinks and giving us recommendations. She was Amazing!!!!!I will definitely be returning and hoping we look out for her.

  • Review 35 (2021-05-02 - Rating: 5)

    The atmosphere is amazing and the food is really good ! We arrived at 7 on a Saturday night and we asked to sit on the rooftop. Surprisingly it was not that crowded and our waitress Sarah E. was very attentive and her personality shined! She was so lively and made our night so much fun. I definitely recommend the bowl if youre not sure what to order. The music and service brings the restaurant to life and I cant wait to return !

  • Review 36 (2024-03-08 - Rating: 5)

    So me and my lady friends went with no reservations and were told the wait time could be up to 1 hr 30m. We were really excited about this place so we decided to sit at the bar and wait. We got some drinks and were seated at a reasonable time which we were def grateful for. Let me tell you about this place…the food is phenomenal. Delish! And the drinks were good with the perfect amount of liquor. The only thing I was a little put off was the music was BLASTING and we had to shout to have a conversation. I didn’t think it was a “club” like restaurant but it had that vibe. It would not stop me from going again. And I def highly recommend them. Oh! There’s a dress code which we weren’t completely aware of so make sure you check that out in their website.

    My wife and I randomly stopped in while on vacation in NYC. The vibe was awesome and fun. I didn’t get our bartenders name but she was the best!! She was very nice and constantly smiling. She even made us some of her own concoctions that were even better than anything on the Menu!!!

    Ana was an amazing host !!! ,she gave us great recommendations, and always came back and fourth to check on us. I would definitely rate her service an 10/10. This was our first time here and I would definitely come back to dine here about only for the food but for her customer service. So if your visiting this resturant I would definitely recommend asking for Ana to be your server.

    Excellent place.Theres nothing bad I can say about my first visit to this wonderful establishment.The place is beautifully decorated, is two levels and theres an outdoor rooftop patio off the second level.The staff are particularly like friendly. I suspect its a good work environment. Everyone was pleasant and smiling.The food was excellent as well. The drinks are very special. Clearly a drink menu developed by a mixologist. We shared the punch bowl which was delicious.Id highly recommend a visit to this place.The bottomless brunch is much more sophisticated and pleasurable than it sounds...⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

  • Review 49 (2024-11-04 - Rating: 5)

    First time at Vida Verde while visiting from Atlanta. Renee was our server and she was so sweet and very helpful when it came to our questions about the menu. The food was yummy and they helped us with the cake for our friend’s birthday. Took a little second to get water refills and our sauces but that wasn’t enough to make our experience negative. Would definitely recommend to anyone for a good mexican spot. Also, playlist was 10/10.

  • Review 50 (2023-01-24 - Rating: 5)

    The food was absolutely amazing and some of the best Mexican food I’ve had since being in NYC so far. The drinks were good but a little overpriced compared to other places I’ve been. I really enjoyed the vibes and energy here. The service was good so overall I would give this place 5 stars.

  • Review 51 (2022-05-22 - Rating: 5)

    I don’t understand the negative reviews, genuinely. I went with the girlfriend at around 9:30 pm and got a table within a half hour. The atmosphere was super lively, and the music was great! The spicy margarita was ACTUALLY spicy and was therefore awesome! When we got to the table with got the birria quesadillas which were amazing, the fish tacos, and the pork belly tacos. We also got guac, but I guess I never got a picture of it. Everything was seriously delicious, with the highlight being the birria quesadillas. I would absolutely go back, I want to check out the upstairs which was occupied with a private party.

  • Review 52 (2024-05-18 - Rating: 5)

    The food is amazing! I’ve been there a few times, whenever I visit NY it’s a must stop for me. I usually order the birria quesadillas or the nachos. KAY is an excellent bartender/mixologist- her margaritas and mezcalitas are just perfect and she always greets you with a great smile, she’s just so nice! The place has a really nice rooftop, perfect for happy hour 🙂

  • Review 53 (2024-05-20 - Rating: 5)

    I recently had the pleasure of visiting a fantastic bar with a cool rooftop in Midtown New York, and I cant say enough good things about it.The atmosphere was vibrant and welcoming, making it an ideal spot for happy hour! What truly made the evening exceptional, though, was the bartender named Kay.Kays super warm and friendly, and she crafts some of the best cocktails Ive ever tasted. If you find yourself in Midtown, do yourself a favor and visit this bar—ask for Kay, and you’re guaranteed a memorable experience...Oh and also, please order the Nachos and the esquites (or the birria burrito), the food is amazing too!

    The food, atmosphere, and service is really 10/10 here. I always order the birria quesadillas and they are simply tooo good. I love me a mojito and the lady who bartends makes them really good. The music is always a good vibe and the food doesn’t take long to make. It does sometimes get booked out or you have a time limit to eat but I’ve always enjoyed coming here :)

    What a great Mexican restaurant right in the heart of Hells kitchen. The food was amazing, the presentation was very appealing to the eye. The food came on time, the temperature was perfect. Ill recommend the Brunch special, they offer bottomless mimosas.Beautiful bar, with coat hangers under the bar and electric plugs as well if you need a little juice for your phone or electronic device. The menu was clear easy to read and plenty of choices of small plates, entrees and desserts.The customer service was excellent, the staff is very friendly, helpul and courteous. Our waiter was Ralph, hes a great guy. Our waiter was very attentive and professional, he was aware of every single small detail to make our experience very enjoyable. The music was very good and not to loud, good thing.The decoration is very colorful and vibrant, eclectic with a touch of metropolis. Full of art paints, photographs and art at the establishment.For my surprise it have a second floor,well decorated as well. Having a beautiful outdoor patio full of colorful chairs and tables we had to, but was sprinkling.We tried tho.A mix of old and new makes a very chill atmosphere at this place. Very eclectic and vibrant, love it. Im in love with this restaurant is one of my favorites so far.I had a great time was fun, chill had a really good vibes this place. And the drinks are specially the bowls are the deal.Most to go if you visit N.Y.C.

    I came after work to experience the margarita market on the rooftop but it was too crowded to get in. The pictures of the outdoor seating area look bigger than it actually is. Ended up sitting at the first floor bar. The music was good, the bartenders were attentive and the service was great. The margaritas are tasty. We had the tamarind which was tangy and strong. And the guacamole was delicious even if it was a little bit on the small side. I love the interior decor and all the vibrant colors. Overall not a bad place, I would visit again. 🍹🍹

  • Review 86 (2024-08-13 - Rating: 5)

    Upon arriving at Vida Verde NYC, we were greeted immediately and led to a table that had already been set for the two of us. The evening started off on a high note as we were asked for our drink preferences while being read the drink specials of the night. The service was seamless from the get-go, with our drinks arriving promptly and accompanied by an introduction to Renee, who I assume was the head server or manager. Renee was exceptional—she made fantastic recommendations, ensured our drinks were always topped off, and continuously checked in on everything that was brought to our table to ensure quality.For starters, we opted for the nachos with added chorizo, and they were phenomenal. The tortilla chips were fresh, light, and crispy, striking the perfect balance with the toppings. It wasn’t overloaded with cheese, but rather had a well-balanced mix of queso, pico de gallo, and chorizo. The standout element was the jalapeño cream sauce, which tied everything together and added an incredible burst of flavor to an already delicious appetizer.For the main course, we tried the steak and cheese tacos (without cheese) and the Birria tacos. The steak tacos were absolutely amazing. It’s been a long time since I’ve had marinated, seasoned skirt steak as perfectly prepared as advertised. The habanero sauce added a delightful kick, and with the cilantro and homemade warm tortilla, it made for a quick, delicious snack that was packed with flavor. This was easily my favorite dish of the evening.The Birria tacos, while good, were not crispy as expected, and the meat felt a bit under-seasoned. However, the consommé was outstanding—bursting with flavor and richness, it tasted like it came straight from a mother’s home kitchen. The fresh chopped white onion and cilantro added a refreshing contrast to the warm, delicious broth. I found myself drinking the consommé right out of the ramekin!To finish, we ordered the steak Chimichanga. After everything else we’d had, this was a heavy entrée, and the portions at Vida Verde do not disappoint. Though I was already quite full, the Chimichanga was a satisfying end to the meal. The crispy shell, marinated skirt steak, beans, and rice all combined into a delightful dish. The toppings on the side added a nice variety—the crema was light and creamy without being too thick, and the pickled jalapeño provided an elevated pico de gallo experience. The hidden gem inside? Sweet plantain, which added a savory sweetness that melted in your mouth with every bite.This dining experience at Vida Verde was more than just dinner—it was an event I would recommend sharing with family and friends. The portions were generous, the margaritas were delicious (I couldn’t resist their $10 Monday special), and the service, especially from Renee, made it all worthwhile. While the cocktails looked enticing, they kindly accommodated my request for a spicy margarita, as I’m not a fan of sweet drinks.Overall, I highly recommend Vida Verde NYC and suggest asking for Renee to elevate your dining experience. We will definitely be back soon!

    Vida Verde is an awesome after work/happy hour spot! The drinks are strong, delicious and unique (the blueberry coconut is a must try). The food is a bit overpriced but tastes great (yucca fries = 👌🏾)

  • Review 90 (2024-06-08 - Rating: 4)

    THIS PLACE PACKS A PUNCH! The energy and music sets an atmosphere of fun! The perfect place for lunch or after work cocktails and dinner. A solid office outing option with its multi levels. The Margarita cocktails are yummy and balanced and the food is fire! Portion sizes are just right HOWEVER would definitely recommend ordering an appetizer before your entree; if not, you’ll be left wanting more and devouring all the tortilla chips and salsa! Be sure to order the Guacamole, one of the best I’ve tasted on this side of the border.Our service was relatively quick yet felt a bit transactional instead of welcoming. We did have to flag him down for water and our check.Decor was Hype! Diversely colorful, fun, fresh and edgy. Not a single corner was missed and added to the pumping vibe!

  • Review 108 (2020-06-16 - Rating: 5)

    From the first moment I stepped into Vida Verde I fell in love. I have returned on numerous occasions and I always have a great time. I’ve taken many friends to this place and they all fell in love as well.For starters, the ambiance of the place is very upbeat. The music ranges from Latin American songs to Top Charting USA songs. Every time I have been there I’ve seen a DJ present. The pink neon lights, rainbow umbrellas, colored paintings, and green plants give the place a great tropical feel. Their “Mezcal Made Me Do It” sign at the front really calls for a fun IG post. If you’re really into capturing the aesthetics of a place, this is the spot for you.Now, their margaritas are DELICIOUS! Their flavors weren’t typical flavors you are used to seeing in other Mexican restaurants. “Honeydew Cayenne, Blueberry Coconut, Apricot Thyme” are some of the delicious flavors you’ll find at Vida. I’ve tried them all and you cannot go wrong with any flavor you choose. You actually cannot go wrong with any of their cocktails. Make sure you try their Mango Habanero with a Spicy Rim!!!I will admit, their food is standard. Some items are very tasty, and some don’t stand out. But for their ambiance and those margaritas, I will always return. Another thing to note is that they have a standing/lounging area with a bar on the second floor, as well as a rooftop bar which is very enjoyable during the warmer days. During the winter, they also did offer free coat check (tip them though). Their Friday nights were usually the busiest, and getting tables is more difficult then, make reservations in advance because they also do get very busy and bought out for big events.Overall, great place, totally recommend, totally a must!!!

  • Review 109 (2019-06-20 - Rating: 4)

    Came here yesterday with my partner. She was excited for the frozen margarita and enjoyed hers, a seasonal, quite a bit. The guac had cheese in it, a bit unusual, but it was good. We were recommended the chorizo tacos and were disappointed by them. The chicken quesadilla was very very cheesy, and came in two taco-like shapes. It was the best food item. The chicken flautas were good.

    I came here for the bottomless brunch on a Saturday and had a blastt! As soon as you walk in, youll see a GIANT disco ball above you. The vibe was super fun and lively. There was a DJ that kept the music rolling with a mix of Top 40 and Latin songs. The music was a little too loud in the beginning (we came in at 3) but it calmed down after 4 pm. Our server Jesus was amazing and kept the drinks flowing even before our glasses were empty. We started off with the mimosas and switched to bellinis at the end (stick to the mimosas - bellinis were tooo sweet). For appetizer, we ordered the grilled corn 3 ways - I personally liked the avocado and jalapeno crust, didnt really care for the other two. For our entrees, I got the scrambled egg enchiladas, my boyfriend got the Chicken Quesadillas and my friend ordered the Huevos Rancheros. The portions were HUGE for a brunch entree. My chicken quesadilla and the huevos rancheros were cleaned out - they were delicious and heavyy. My enchiladas were delicious but too heavy for me. The food came very fast also - a few minutes after we were done ordering the entrees actually. Lastly, our server took excellent care of us! I would most definitelyyy come here again.

    Lovely hidden gem! Tried the carnitas tacos and the nachos with chicken and they were both delicious. The beet sunset drink was really good (I love beet juice!). Service was attentive and the place is gorgeous. Downsides were: its a little dark inside, which provides for a good atmosphere but made it hard to even read the menu, and the fact that it was a little on the expensive side for my taste. Overall a great experience and I expect to return soon!

    I went for the Bottomless Brunch for 90min. You must buy an entrée to get this deal. I believe it runs from 12pm-10pm on weekends. Be prepared because the drinks are strong. The drink menu includes Frozen Strawberry Daiquiri, Margarita ( strong), Mimosas, Passion fruit belini (amazing delicious), Bloody Mary, and some beers. We ended up ordering from the regular menu for our meals. We started with guac which I feel needs a little wow to it but it was fresh. Then as a meal I had the Birria Quesadilla which was super tasty. It came with fresh cream, hot sauce, and Birria dip. Everything on this plate was perfectly made. I would definitely recommend this place for a outing with your friends. They have great decor all around and they play great music which keeps the vibes all around happy.

    Vida Verde has the hottest rooftop for dining in Manhattan and just in time for Summer Friday season. This bi-level Mexican restaurant is located in the Midtown West area open almost a year ago but their rooftop just open a little after the Memorial Day weekend. Their vibrant rooftop includes a beautiful mural of Frida Kahlo done by Victor Quinonez, colorful, the perfect amount of greenery, and colorful tables and chairs.The chef created a menu that is a perfect blend of traditional and contemporary Mexican food. The dinner menu at Vida Verde is designed to be shared and their small plates includes items such as chipotle BBQ wings, tacos, guacamole, ceviche, carnita sliders, and more. Their popular guacamole is made table-side and at your desired level of spice and comes in two different sizes as well. Brunch is the most important meal for us weekend warriors and Vida has a boozy brunch that they refer to as Boozy Brunchacha that includes an entree and 90 minutes of bottomless drinks that ranges from $40 - $50 based upon the type drinks you get. The brunch menu includes items such as sunrise quesadilla, huevos rancheros, duck hash, and the garden fritta. Brunch is available Saturday and Sunday from 11 am - 6 pm and I strongly encourage reservations (which can be made via OpenTable, Resy, or Yelp).Vida Verde has a number of specials which include their happy hour that runs from 4 - 7 pm and then a reverse one from 11 pm - close. Their happy hour include:$10 - margarita$10 - sangria$6 - draft beer$5 - Tecate$6 - wine$10 - Tecate & tequila shotVida Verde is a large restaurant but I what I enjoy about them the most outside of the amazing food is the great customer service. The communication between the front and back of the house is seamless and it explains all of the high ratings and reviews they have received on multiple platforms. Dont be the last of your friends to check out this rooftop!Personal favorites:GuacMahi Mahi TacosNachosTres Leches cakeBBQ WingsShrimp Quesadilla

    Great place for drinks and large parties, but recommend reserving tables ahead of time. We had about 12 people in our party for drinks so we hung by the bar which got crowded quick. We asked if we could have a couple of their long high top tables to order and drink at since it was empty and to help make room at the bar for other guests but the manager said no. They may have been short staffed on that Friday around 6pm, but overall a good fun place, just be patient with staffing!

    Went off peak time on a weekday, around noon. Outside rooftop section is really nice with a beautiful mural painting. The food was sooooo good, I had the duck hash browns and tried their steak, so tasty and tender! The staff was very friendly and charismatic. If its a bit warm out the sun can get intense as youre eating making it a bit uncomfortable but all in all a great spot!

    Don’t have any complaints. The place is really nice decorated. It has a very nice vibe . Also has a rooftop which seems really nice and all. The food was actually better than I expected. The beef quesadillas were amazing and so was the frozen margaritas. Really nice hidden gem in the city . I would definitely recommend it .

    I went to Vida Verde on Saturday for my bestie and my cousins birthday. The atmosphere and the service was great. Our waiter/ server Jesus was amazing. He was very welcoming and respectful. He had great energy and made our brunch wonderfully amazing. I will come back in the summer to enjoy the rooftop.
