Tried this place for the very first time on 11/09/2024. The reason I call it a place and not a restaurant is because it is a Sports Bar Restaurant. The food was great! I enjoyed the Chicken Enchiladas Verdes which was delicious, with rice and black beans. This is not TexMex as I know it, but it was very good. Well worth going to try it. Price was reasonable, $15 for Chicken Enchiladas. Not cheap but not expensive, and the seafood was reasonably priced also. Other dishes at our table contained fried fish, fried shrimp, and fried stuffed shrimp which everyone was very pleased with. So food gets 5 stars! Service was good for the most part and will get 4.5 starts, not a whole 5 stars. The waitress was great with our order, but fell down in attentiveness. When you have to flag them down to get refills, and the server needs the waitress to help distribute the food and hasn't removed any appetizers to be able to put meal down, they loose stars. When my very hot plate was put on the spot in front of me it was only partially on the table because the appetizer plates had yet to be removed. Did I mention my plate was very hot! Toasted fingers is not a good way to start a meal but I'd rather push a hot plate back quickly than have it dump into my lap. Sorry, I forgot to take food pics. Sports Bar, this says it all. TV's all around the rooms close to the ceiling. Great for watching any game that is being broadcast. Nice large bar near the center of the restaurant. The only issue we had was the very loud music. So loud we had to ask several times to have it turned down. We couldn't even hear each other talk. I figured out as we were leaving that we must have been sitting near or under the speakers as the volume was much more tolerable closer to the exit and we had been seated closer to the kitchen. We won't be making that mistake again. We do plan on eating here again and now know the layout, food quality, and service expectations for future visits. It is a must try in my opinion because the food was great! read more

Everything! Waitress was on top of everything, orders were not messed up being that it was a party of 30+. Everyone was happy. The food was great and so was the service. The Happy Birthday announcement was exciting and fun! Loved it . Great choice! read more

I'll give it a 4, since they're new, and seemed you have it all flowing and moving along. The place is huge, busy. Service was friendly, food came out pretty quickly. However... im leaning more towards a 3. Clean, family friendly, and big bar. Even though the place is packed, you don't feel over crowded. Nice ambiance. The food was ok... I didn't walk away thinking- "I can't wait to go back" will I be back? More than likely. It was a party of 8, so I called ahead and made reservations. So glad I did!!! Triple check your receipt! Staff is still learning, so there were some errors on our check. The manager made the corrections, with no hassle. Over all food was a 3 out of 5. read more

The food was amazing. The service less so. I'm not sure if the server was weirded out by my being intolerant to tomatoes or what, but the rest of my interactions with her were really weird. I have no idea if she was just an awkward person or was internally accusing me of lying over not being able to eat tomatoes. It's weird yes, but people can have intolerances to more than just milk. I can't eat a tomato without getting really sick. And the dish I wanted had tomato toppings and 90% of the Mexican restaurants I've visited never take my tomato allergy seriously and put pico on the dish regardless of me saying no pico. Considering my family is Mexican and I grew up with my abuelos for most of my life I can guarantee that I've tested the intolerance thoroughly. The manager came by to double check the extent of my intolerance which I appreciated. The fish and tamarindo drink were amazing. I use the tamarind vodka at my personal bar and never considered using apples, tamarind paste, and manzanita with it. Music was also great. Other than the server I'd say we had a great experience with wonderful music. read more

The food was very good. We had the chicken enchiladas with green sauce and it smacked. Wait staff were friendly, professional and entertaining. I cannot speak enough about the vibe, we had the best time. Loved the music. We definitely will be returning in the near future. read more

I have eaten at Vida Mariscos three times. In a nutshell, the restaurant is a nice space equal to any other chain restaurant in Houston, but the food tastes like it came from a two bit taqueria. My first visit I had the Charola, which is a fresh seafood platter. The Mexican shrimp cocktail was good, the ceviches/aguachiles were meh, and the oysters on the halfshell had an awful red sauce on them. I told my waitress that I didn't like sauce on the oysters, so she brought me some oysters without the sauce. After eating two oysters, I knew why they came with a sauce on them. The oysters were horrible. The worst tasting fresh oysters I have ever had. DO NOT order any oysters here! The second dish I had here was the Vida Bowl. This was a fairly okay dish, but it mostly rice (at least half of the dish was rice). Also, the fajita beef was way overcooked. My third visit I had the mixto cocktail (shrimp and octopus). Excellent. I also had the El Suegro off the lunch menu. Again, the fajita beef was way overcooked in the taco, and the queso on top of the taco was very salty. In fact, almost everything here is over salted. The gumbo was some green concoction that looked like baby food. It looked so disgusting that I didn't eat it. The shrimp and river dish was okay. In conclusion, the food here is hit and miss. The shrimp and octopus cocktail is excellent, the oysters are horrible, and most of the typical Mexican dishes are overcooked and over salted. read more

I have now been here 2 times and wow! The food is so flavorful. We had a large party and the service was great and the food has been really good both times. The atmosphere is so electric and all around a fun upbeat place with great food. read more

Wonderful food! Great ambience and top notch service. Live music, plenty of seating, and great patio.

Happy and Festive ambient! They were able to accommodate a large party of 20 and last minute reservation made a night before. Big spacious private room also available . Numerous television screens around bar and dining . The kids enjoyed the kids food options (cheeseburger, tenders) and adults enjoyed trying variety of seafood items listed in the menu. I'm looking forward to returning and trying more of their food . Mariachi on Sundays / parking was easy read more

It was around lunchtime- it was really loud. Hostess seated me - not exceptionally friendly.... Waitress took a long time to come to table just to ask for drink , didn't mention they don't do chips / salsa ( brought the veggies - yuck !) Took a long time to come back with the drink , I ordered and it was ok - but not super. A lot of fries ( which I usually end up giving to my dogs for treats ) ha ha I will try again for dinner sometime and see how it goes. read more

Food is delicious. We enjoy it a lot. The drinks are also good. Service is good depending who you get. The place has great vibes and the environment is good as well. Definitely worth it read more

I've been here about 4-5 times already. I've had different dishes and drinks each time. I really wanted to love this place, but for me, it's just not there. Food has been average, nothing I've had has stood out. They do have some good drink options though. Service has been fine. Again, nothing spectacular. The biggest knock for me is the music. It's unnecessarily loud. Today I had the privilege of seeing what they do for birthdays. The music suddenly got quieter and I thought "Great, that's perfect", only for what I guess is their "birthday music" 10 times louder than what the music was before. This is owned by Los Cucos, and I've always thought their food was just ok too. To me, there are many better options nearby. read more

Terrible food. Terrible service. Never going back. If you feel like ruining your evening and leaving hungry - this is your place. read more

Food seemed fresh but oh so bland. We ordered redfish cooked inside a foil packet with veggies. They were cooked right, just no flavor! I liked that you didn't get filled up on chips before your meal, and loved the spicy pickled carrots they put out too. We didn't eat any of the rolls or crackers. Our skinny margaritas were very good. Here comes our biggest complaint. The mariachi band. OMG. They are so loud. Forget trying to have a conversation with your table mates. Not happening. Evidently we happened to go on a Friday when they do this. I won't be going back. read more

The food was ok, this is not a true authentic Mexican seafood restaurant is American and gourmet kinda food, it does has a variety of plates to Choose. The fish ceviche is not that good, it was sweet and tasted like agua chile same for the micheladas too much hot sauce and no tasty flavor if you drink 2 of these I have my respect for you, the combination of seafood cocktail was ok, and the ingredients were not so fresh, saggy tomatoes and bad lemon taste, shrimp was not clean, still had the intestine inside "sh*t vein" Service was good the ambiance was ok, the place is nice but definitely will go to this place as last resource and not order this items again. read more

Food was delicious!!! Service was great and so was the ambiance !!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!

Been twice, but I think this is the last. The atmosphere is great, the view is beautiful, but it's just not for me. Rolls and butter is not something I would choose instead of chips and salsa. And the food was okay, but not great. Total with tip was about $80.00 for 2-adults and a kid. I would have preferred a typical Mexican restaurant for a better price and flavorful food. I do like Rancho Taqueria, but that is just my opinion. read more

Great experience and service! The drinks are tasty. The food is good but I have had better seafood elsewhere. The ambiance is great! Music and tvs throughout the establishment. read more

Seafood is my most favorite food item so I definitely had to try this place out. This is my second time, because the first time I was having a really great time. The ambiance of the place is a vibeeee. Live music on the weekends. Great drinks and great food. My second time, I came with family and was able to order more items off the menu. NUBIA was our waitress and she was incredible. She had great energy and very attentive. She was super kind and just overall enjoyable to have. YOU HAVE TO ASK FOR HER to get that great service you need We had every item off the happy hour food menu. The ostiones borrachos are my ultimate fave. The meat from the street tacos was tender and very good. On the mini ceviches they give you one aguachile and ceviche mango habanero. It was the best kick of spice, definitely had me sweating. The boiled shrimp was delicious as well. We also ordered the shrimp fried rice which needed no extra seasoning. My most favorite food item of all is the sriracha shrimp only off the lunch special. I have never had anything like it and whoever thought about it ,is a genius. Also, the mojitos are just so damn good. I mean I can go on and on about this place, but you yourself would have to try it to believe me. I will be back again and again read more

Went this weekend, grand opening! Food was good Service was mediocre Ambiance family oriented, really loud. Won't go back! Not what we like. To loud and service was not good. read more

Let me say first. This review is all about the services. The restaurant itself is very nice. TV is everywhere. Nice atmosphere. It is pretty noisy because it is an open dining room. they do not have any fountain drinks. They're all bottles. The chips are an additional fee. The salsa that was included was maybe 5 tablespoons in each bowl. The real problem came with the service that's all I must say about it. read more

Happy to have a true Mariscos spot south of the beltway. The service was great from everyone at the bar, as I preferred to sit there for this visit. Very friendly staff. Had the lovely Anna assisting us. Started out with what they call a Marchela with Modelo as my beer of choice. The shrimp were really Fresh and that fresh boiled taste. I was satisfied with this drink. We ordered the Ceviche Rojo and it's listed as spicy which 99% of the time means I need to add more salsa or hot sauce, this was not the case here. The Ceviche was truly hot and I was glad to see it. It was refreshing and flavored well enough so that I didn't feel the need to add anything to it which was nice. The last dish we ordered was the Parillada Deliciosa. I laughed when I asked for this dish since it sounds like I'm asking ms delicious for a platter in Spanish. Everything with the platter was great and they had homemade corn tortillas. Even the beans and rice were good and that's something I discard at most places. All in all it was a great meal and ambiance and I'll be frequenting Vida at least once a week. read more

Vida Mariscos - Pepito Caliente Margarita- shaker holds enough to fill the glass three times! - Sports Bars Near Me - Webster, Texas

Me and the wife ate here this past weekend, I think it was their grand opening. To start off the micheladas were delicious and tasty but the fajita combination dinner for two was terrible, the quesadillas were overly greasy and the chicken fajitas tasted like cardboard, it was disappointing but I'll be back for the micheladas but not to eat, who knows might try an appetizer. Ohh and I can't forget about the octopus, chewy as can be, it was really tuff. I've had it in the past and it was never that hard or chewy to eat. read more

Food was not good. I got the steak and shrimp. I ordered my steak medium rare and it was well done and my shrimp was way over cooked as well. Very expensive and not worth half of the price. read more

The food was great except for the shrimp in my caldo de camaron. The shrimp were super overcooked to the point that they were rubbery. The shrimp needs to be cooked separately and not boiled with the rest of the ingredients in the broth. My favorite thing was the esquites. We had that as an appetizer and I thought it was the best thing I've ever had! read more

Happy hour dishes were good. Drinks were good. Service at the bar was good. We ordered a large fried rice to go and not only the order was forgotten, but when I checked the order, it was barely enough of fried rice for a large order of $10.99. Lesson learned. Will not be ordering fried rice from here and I would be very cautious to order any foods to go either. read more
