    Pina Tropical
    Meghan B.

    First time trying this Mexican spot. The pina tropical was SO GOOD. I did double chicken instead of the steak. Drinks were also very tasty. Can not wait to go back!

    Service was nice and food was about average. Definitely an Americanized Mexican restaurant- probably trying to cater the the south shore demographic. The table side guac was very basic - seemed like it had no extra seasoning. The burrito I had was smothered in queso filled plain white rice corn and beans. Maybe I would like the tacos better.

    Baby cockroach crawling around right next to us while we were eating. The manager or owner I'm not sure, just said "im sorry".

    Service could be better. Waitress barely came to our table. Baby cockroach crawling around next to us for a good majority of the time that I was there. I informed the server about the cockroach and he never came back. So I had to get the manager 10 minutes later before it crawled onto our table and into our food. Food was mid you could definitely get better Mexican food somewhere else. (Can be extremely loud in the place as well)

    Verdes Suizas Enchiladas
    Jessica B.

    Just okay. I came here for dinner with a friend during the week. We sat at the bar and were served chips & salsa to start. The salsa was on the watery side and the chips were thick. I prefer the chips thinner and the salsa thicker... I ordered the "Flag Bandera Enchiladas" which is 3 enchiladas (chicken, cheese, beef) served with rice and refried beans. The cheese enchilada was my favorite. I didn't care for the other two. And I also enjoyed the rice and refried beans. Overall, my meal was just okay. There was nothing about this experience that would make me want to come back, but also nothing that would deter me from coming back either. I have weird mixed feelings. Maybe go check it out and see for yourself...

    Tres Leches Cake

    Ordered for delivery** I got the Flag Banderas Enchiladas. I got two chicken and one beef. They were pretty good, the rice was cooked well and the beans were good also. The food was warm upon arrival. The flavors blended well together. The tres leches cake (i know it looks amazing) was not really tres leches cake. Not sure what it actually was either. It was two different textures with some miscellaneous filling in the middle. Maybe i got an old slice? Not sure. Was weird but it was admittedly edible. Not too good. Would order the regular meals, just not dessert here.

    That table was so disruptive to other Diners!

    Food and service has been great and tasty! But don't be afraid to tell the host to change your table when there were large adult group at one table and one large group of young children at the next table and the host picked a table right next to them who were very vocal and boisterous and did not care who was around SO "I ASKED I WANTED A TABLE" at a DISTANCE! I picked where a bit farther away to enjoy my meal yet, no staff approached them to maybe keep the yelling down or the kids running around the place! So, I use to visit often but will think hard about returning if the staff has no control on large groups and running children chasing eachother all over the place! TO BAD. I did not see any ADULT OVER 20 at the Host table or Wait Staff! The Male Staff was just hanging around the Host Station. But the Kitchen Staff cranked out Great Food!

    Fajitas
    Lena V.

    Let's start with the positive! The restaurant design is beautiful! The food and service... not so much. I'm not sure about the meat meals in Vida Mexicana but for a vegetarian - the portions were too small and meals pricey. I had fajitas that could use more seasoning and a street corn... I considered 3 stars but bartender wasn't very friendly (no eye contact, no smile, no talking) and took him forever to take care of us on empty bar.

    Chicken Fajitas & Chimichangagas
    Mike K.

    I read a lot of reviews and the overall 3 star rating was surprises. We have hit multiple Mexican restaurants in our area over the years and in my opinion (and that all I got!) the food at Vida Mexicana is just better. We popped in and no issues getting seated in the Bar Area which we requested. Our waitress greeted us with a heaping basket of FREE Chips and Salsa. My wife ordered a small Coconut Breeze Margarita and I ordered a large Cadillac Classic. Salsa and chips are fine to snack on while waiting for your entrees to arrive. They do offer a table side guacamole which is as fresh as it gets, but a little expensive at $13. The drinks were well balanced margaritas with great flavor. I hate an overly sour margarita and these were great. My wife got the chicken fajitas. The chicken was perfectly flavored and cooked perfect (not rubbery). The onions and peppers were fresh with still a little crisp on the peppers after they were sautéed. The amount of chicken to veggies was perfect, so she wasn't just having a veggie fajita. There were 3 flour tortillas and way more chicken/veggies than was needed to fill them. Sides of rice and beans were fine. I got the Chimichangas filled with shredded beef, covered with cheese sauce. The fried tortillas came out steaming hot can smothered in the cheese sauce that I think is the best around. They are Served with sour cream with rice and beans. They finished the meal offering us each a FREE Tequila shot. Yes please. We will be back! Sorry, didn't take great pics today.

    Strongest frozen margarita
    Lei Y.

    I need to say this is the most strongest margarita I ever had in my life.....super strong! Fruity and strong! I like it. I never ask for a water in any restaurant with my drinks before! This is the first time! Super strong ! I like it !

    Last month, I went here to grab some food. I was seated at the bar area and it was pretty quiet on a Sunday night. The complimentary nachos were very fresh and crispy. It was hard to stop eating them. For an entree, I got the Salmon Vida, which consisted of grilled salmon topped with creamy poblano sauce with roasted red peppers, spinach and corn over white rice. It also came with a side salad that consisted of baby lettuce, diced tomatoes, cucumbers, onions. and cilantro. The salmon was very tasty with the cream sauce but I didn't really care for the salad. For dessert, I got the Tres Leches cake. The flavor of the cake was good but the cake was not very moist. Service was good and the waitstaff was very friendly. Overall, I give this place a 3.5 stars.

    Consistently amazing food and quick service. Cozy little local spot we can't get enough of…read more Definitely one of our favorite Mexican restaurants period.

    What an amazing little taqueria located in Weymouth! The store front is so unassuming that we…read morealmost missed it. Dora Taqueria is so good that I want it to stay one of my hidden gems forever. We got a ton of food to try here and nothing disappointed. We got 3 birria tacos ($15), a shrimp taco, an al pastor taco, 2 lengua tacos, and 2 elotes. Although we ordered a good amount, our food came out very quickly! Whenever I see lengua (tongue tacos) I'm always so excited since not many places tend to offer it. These lengua tacos are easily a MUST HAVE. The meat was so well seasoned and tender. It had everything I wanted in a lengua taco. Another must-try are the birria tacos. The beef was super tender and the cheese pull when eating the tacos were magnificent. The consomé (birria sauce) that you dip the tacos in was so rich and flavorful, pairing amazingly with the tacos. Their elotes were also so tasty -- the charred corn was juicy and sweet while being smothered in cotija cheese and chipotle mayo. The corn was a pretty good size too, so you're definitely getting your money's worth here. The shrimp taco had very juicy shrimp and I love how they included guac on the top of the taco. The al pastor taco was probably my least favorite of the bunch, but it was still pretty solid. Overall, I'd definitely recommend giving this place a try! Everything was terrific, from the tasty food to the speedy service. It seems like most people order take out but they have a handful of tables to dine in here. I'll be coming back very soon!
