    We often pass by this restaurant but finally stopped in recently--and we're so glad we did! We went on a Saturday evening, and the place had such a vibrant vibe. The fun music really set the mood for a perfect weekend night out. The dining area is spacious with plenty of natural light and great window views. As for the food--everything we tried was fantastic. The Pollo del Mar was incredible, with a perfect balance of chicken and shrimp. We also customized a vegan fajita loaded with our favorite veggies, and it turned out delicious. Our kid enjoyed his chicken quesadillas from the kids' menu. The spicy watermelon margaritas were a hit--just the right level of heat and a generous pour. The staff was warm and friendly, making the experience even better. We learned they host live band performances on weekend nights, and we're already planning to come back for that! Delicious food, fun atmosphere, and fantastic service--highly recommend!

    Molcajete
    Sydney J.

    We've been here a few times - mostly to watch the Olympic soccer games & have some good seafood. Their ceviche was great & they make a good guacamole. I get the molcajete and it comes out sizzling hot. The last time we went my chicken had a weird texture that I cant describe, but that was a fluke. I love the flavors that pull together in this dish!

    The moment I drive up to find parking, it felt like I was in Cancun vibes . The parking and restaurant decor is colorful and I love it. Hostess was kind and friendly. Surprisingly there was a dancing band and singer and I enjoyed every bit of it. The only problem was that it was too loud that it was impossible to talk among one another so I basically had to yell to converse. Food and service was excellent. Very attentive and quick. I ordered the grilled octopus and now I want to come back for more. Margarita is on point too, I will definitely come back again.

    Shrimp Soup

    Been here twice before and food was amazing. Today decided to try their shrimp seafood and it was very, very disappointing. There was 2 big pieces of celery, a big piece of potato, and 3 pieces of small shrimp smaller than the celery and potato. Not to mention the taste was not so great it tasted very, very fishy. For $16.00 I would expect more vegetables and shrimp. It did come with a small chicken taco as I got the lunch special. Still felt like $16.00 was a bit too much for 3 pieces of shrimp soup and a taco. Would I come back? Yes. I just would never order their shrimp soup again. Other than that service was super amazing, ambience was great, place is very, very clean.

    Plenty of choices between seafood and Mexican food. Pretty loud music with Dj or at times a band. Found a hair in rice and they took it back and prep another one but not the same. Rice was not comp. Waitresses worried about ambience instead of service at times. She charged overcharged us for a drink, stay alert to you order.

    Parrillada Capitán (For 2)
    Sonali D.

    1st time at Vida Mariscos, and will definitely come again. We came on a Friday night around 8:30 pm, and the parking lot was packed. We had to park in the way back. There is a security patrolling the area on a golf cart. Once entered, we didn't wait long to be seated. We ordered drinks: the spiked pineapple, and the pineapple dragon fruit margarita. Both very great & full of flavor! I do wish there wasn't so much ice in my margarita. Felt like most of the drink was ice. For our meal we ordered the Parrillada Capitán, which included a lobster tail, chorizo, chicken fajita meat, 10oz fish fillet with scallops, and cactus. Everything came out hot and was amazing. We did wish the lobster was removed from the tail as parts of the tail mixed in with the food, and made it hard to cut/share. Our waitress was hard to get at some points just because of how busy they were, so expect that. But she was very responsive and prompt, otherwise. There is a live band playing inside, and the ambiance was casual. An awesome place to go with a group of friends. We will be returning!

    Ceviche aguachile
    Tina C.

    Came here for dinner on a Friday night and was seated right away for a group of 8. We started off with drinks and I ordered the spicy watermelon margarita, which was one of their seasonal drinks. We ordered the following items: Chicharron de tilapia ($9.99) - This was fried tilapia chunks with habanero and creamy cilantro sauce. I was expecting the fish to be more fried/battered and crunchy, but it was more of a fried fish and the fish was super tender. This was pretty tasty and I would probably order this again. Ceviche aguachile ($15.99) - I love ceviche so I definitely had to order one and this one caught my attention because it's marinated in a spicy lime-based green sauce. The flavors were spot on with the perfect amount of lime and spice in each bite. Would definitely recommend this if you're a fan of lime-y ceviche. Paella ($59.99) - This is supposed to be for 2 people and comes with plenty of fish fillets, grilled octopus, shrimp, scallops, mussels, and calamari, served with their special rice. Flavors were really good and the portions were enough to share with more than two people. Compared to some other paella that I've had, the price was a bit on the steeper end, but it did come with a good amount of seafood. Vida Parrillada ($49.99) - This is also for 2 people to share and comes with fish, grilled shrimp, crab stuffed shrimp, and beef/chicken fajitas with a side of Mexican rice, beans, pico, and guacamole. This was also big enough to feed more than two people, so a great entrée to share with a group of people. Everything we ordered was really tasty, and I would definitely recommend the dishes that we ordered. The only downside was that the mariachi bands that come by and play songs while you're eating is VERY loud, so it's difficult to even have a conversation at the table if they are standing next to you or in the same vicinity. It also felt like they came by every 15-ish minutes or so. Other than that, a fun spot to check out if you're in the mood for some delicious Mexican food with lots of seafood options!

    Today we gave this place another shot, the food was great, 7/10. The service was awesome 10/10. The reason I'm giving only 3 stars is because the place it waaaaaaaay too loud. My bf and I can't hear each other so we just look around us. If you wanna just come here and eat, it's great but if you wanna hangout with friends or your bf/gf then go somewhere quieter I guess.

They are incredibly attentive without ever being overbearing, consistently professional, and genuinely kind in a way that makes you feel welcome the moment you walk in.

That said, the entire team deserves recognition as well. The staff on later shifts and different days carry that same positive energy, professionalism, and consistency.

The…read moreservice from the waitstaff was polite, and the atmosphere was calm since it was close to closing time and not very crowded. Unfortunately, when we left, I accidentally forgot a valuable black leather jacket at the table. The next day, I called the restaurant and was told that there was a jacket there. However, when I went in person on Saturday to pick it up, I was told they did not have it. The situation became confusing because at first they confirmed there was a jacket, but then they changed their response. What was most disappointing was not just the loss of my item, but the lack of concern or effort to help resolve the issue. Even with the owner present, there was no attempt to check cameras or properly investigate what happened. Considering that there were no customers left when we exited--only staff cleaning the tables--this situation is very concerning. Overall, this was a very unpleasant experience, and I believe the restaurant should improve how they handle lost items and customer concerns.

However, our concerns were quickly alleviated by a wonderful bartender who met our immediate needs, and then started to take our order in this case for some pizza, which was really quite wonderful. Why there were no other patrons there I can't even explain perhaps it's because it's somewhat new however, it is well adorned in TVs and is quite capable of hosting a large number of people. There is a lovely outside patio and apparently it converts in the evening into a hookah bar. We were told by the bartender that apparently evenings are quite busy and frankly, we watched a football game and left close to dinner time and in point of fact, there were people coming into the restaurant and the hookah bar area. In summary, it's a great sports bar it has a patio on one side of it and a hookah bar lounge on the other. Has a great representation of liquor and beer and the service is excellent. I wish these folks and I believe I met the owner, I wish these folks the best of luck. It's a great establishment.

    Our server Justin was awesome!!…read more The ambiance was also very good. The food was good and portions were good for the price.

    Well I am conflicted with this one. There were a lot of mixed reactions from our table…read more First of all the service was great. I'll just say they made every effort to make things right. Robin was our server and she did great. The problem was the cooks in the kitchen. They may need some more training. Well, 2 of us ordered breakfast and 2 of us ordered dinner. The dinner portions both gave 2 thumbs up. 2 breakfast people were not as happy. First thing , plates came out to tables one at a time. Pet peeve of mine. It throws people dining experience off. Whoever cooked the breakfast one came out to greasy and the other came out almost after we were all done. She had asked for a scrambled egg on the side of her French toast and if you look at the photo it was a fried egg chopped up and the French toast was soggy. Only the kitchen to blame for that one. Now the impressive part, they acknowledged it right away and told us it would be taken off the bill, no worries and also served us a complementary dessert for the trouble. Now , that's how a situation should be handled. Hands on managers and making it right. I will give them that. They care about the customers. Everything that was brought out by our table looked very good and saw a couple things brought back to the line. We were sitting right beside the pick up area. It is a very family friendly restaurant and it was very busy. So I'm not going to bash this restaurant or review because I feel if they know- they will work to fix any future problems in the kitchen area. I can only review our situation with hopes that it helps with training. Your line managers did a great job at rectifying the situation.
