Holy smokes, this is the best Mex in town! We ordered the El Grande sub Asada, Que Rico plato, corn esquites, birria tacos, a pineapple margarita, and Pacifico on tap. Everything was absolutely superb! You can really taste the quality of their house-made tortillas and house-marinated meats. Plus, the portions are huge! The restaurant was packed, and it is easy to see why. The vine is super cool with lively high energy social atmosphere! Since it was so busy, we initially ordered our food to-go because there were no open seats. However, the coolest guy at the register (I forgot to ask his name!) went above and beyond. He asked us to wait a moment and personally got a table ready so we could dine in. His phenomenal service, knowledge, and great personality truly topped off our experience. All the servers were outstanding!! Watch out Que Vida, your new regulars!! See you tomorrow!!! read more

I have found a little hair in my food the last two times I've come here. First time was in a taco and second time was in my daughter's rice. After the first time, I was so grossed out and didn't want to come back but finally did today thinking there's no way it would happen again :( I really don't want to hurt a business by writing a negative review but PLEASE work with your kitchen staff to ensure this doesn't continue to happen. read more

Birria tacos are great just like the ones I had a while Back in AZ. Staff is nice, fast service. Beans and rice seasoned perfectly. They have a very spicy salsa that I loved. Birria tacos are very rich made with slow cooked short ribs so you may want only one to start with. The cheese in the tacos was nicely melted with some crunchy cheese on the outside of the tacos. Overall great place to have breakfast, lunch or dinner. read more

Excellent food in a fun, local-feeling atmosphere. Taco Tuesday deal is a favorite! Never had anything we didn't like!

Totally surprised with this place due to its location! Chilaquiles verde were delicious! Asada Cali burritos delicious!!! The coco loco drink was perfect!!! Only complaint- The iced coffee horchata was not good, no coffee flavor, and too watery. The staff was very friendly! Oh and the music...the music ....loved it! ! It was an absolute good experience! read more

I grabbed a quick bite for dinner here before an event at the President Nixon Library recently. Honestly, the taste and authenticity of this establishment was stellar. The only drawback is that the food was quite fatty and tasted really bad for my health and I was starting to feel a bit of issues in my heart due to the amount of fat in the cheeses (which were out of this world delicious, like authentic Mexican cheeses). My #1 food priority is to eat only the right foods but at a price point that is in my budget. I wasn't expecting the quesadilla to be this cheesy and fatty, but it was quite an experience and I respect that they sell the real stuff here. The staff were really nice and the vibe was pretty cool as well. I might try a taco or something less fatty next time I'm in the area, though! read more

Que Vida Tacos Yorba Linda - Quesadilla - Tacos Near Me - Yorba Linda, California

Located in a busy center with ample parking. There is an outside patio or indoor dining. The menu has your typical Hispanic offerings. Service is ok. We found the food to not be that very flavorful. Street taco meat was bland, the rice had color but no flavor, black beans were blah, the house salsa was so bland you could drink. Will not return. read more

I love when I have a craving for something (tacos) and I turn to yelp for suggestions and yelp kills it!!!!! This was my first time trying Que Vida and it did not disappoint! The MASA tortillas are out of this world, I could've just put a little butter on them and eaten them plain. I ordered the Carne Asada taco and shrimp taco, both were fantastic. The Carne Asada was great quality (and quantity) the meat was super tender and very flavorful. The shrimp taco was also delicious, the mango salsa was spectacular. We arrived before 6 PM so we were able to order a couple of items from the happy hour menu. My mom got two Carnitas tacos piled high with delicious tender pork Carnitas) we also had the nachos which were delicious. I'm not sure what they did with the onions on top (pickled maybe?) but I could've eaten a whole serving of those with a fork. The service was great the guy who took our order was super friendly and helpful. He broke down the menu (they have a lot of options) and also explained which were à la carte items and which were combo plates. I already can't wait to share this place with my family and friends! If you've never been, I highly recommend it! read more

Ate here for the first time! I've been wanting to try it. First off, service was great. A young man helped me and brought me a water prior to walking up to order. I got a Michelada and a young lady made it, it was delicious! The enchiladas were perfect, lots of meat and flavor! It's adorable inside! They did a great job decorating! It was clean and food came out hott & quick! I highly recommend trying this place! read more

Que Vida Tacos Yorba Linda - Michelada - Tacos Near Me - Yorba Linda, California

Que Vida Happy Hour is one of the best in the area! We tried the $7.95 margaritas, $10.50 Que Burro Mezcal, $8.50 tacos, and $7.95 birria fries. Everything was freshly made and pretty good. The portions were decent considering the prices, but I was disappointed when my tortilla crumbled while eating my carnitas taco. We sat at the bar and had fantastic service from a variety of staff members. They were all so welcoming when we mentioned it was our first time there. Tequila is the only spirit served here, in addition to a few beer and wine options. It's not a large restaurant, so it filled up quickly by 6:00pm. Bar seating is limited (about 10 seats). Order at the counter, receive a number, and a runner brings the food to the table. Nothing fancy. Prices on the regular menu are high for basic Mexican food, so I will only be returning during HH. Parking was plentiful. There is an entrance on Lakeview that may be easier to enter/exit for some folks than the one on Imperial Hwy. read more

Everything. Here is top notch! All of the staff is so friendly and quick great service! Everything is made fresh and it's so delicious!! We had the chicken taquitos, Mexican Caesar salad, birria tacos, the para la mesa, and the mulita. Everything was sooo good!! We also had the berry mezcal drink and the coconut margarita! It was delicious! We ate a family of 8 and there's plenty of seating for parties of all sizes. But it does fill up and get super busy. It's a must stop for us every time we are in California. read more

I had to go to Yorba Linda to pick up something for work today 12/31 that could t be shipped till next week. After battling rain the entire 2.5 hours, my girlfriend and I wanted lunch! We stumbled onto Que Vida Tacos from suggestions from Yelp! You walk in and notice how cool the vibe is. We sat up at the bar and were greeted by Becky and D'Angelo SUPER GREAT PEOPLE! Becky took her time and gave us the overview of the menu which is posted on the wall. I've lived in California for 56 of my 57 years and this was the best Mexican food we both have ever eaten!! I'd drive from Ventura County again just to eat there, it was that delicious and the service was IMPECCABLE! Thanks Becky & D'Angelo! Btw Becky said just mention Becky & Becky!! . They were awesome!! read more

What a great Tuesday night spot. Taco Tuesday is the best here. Becky is the best!!!! Great drinks and great food. The service is great.

The food was super underwhelming and not very flavorful. My boyfriend got the cali burrito (I think that's what it's called) and ended up throwing it all up not even 10 minutes after eating it. To make it worse when it came out the tortilla was cold and so were the contents of it. My mom also had to salt and pepper her chile relleno on top of trying to mix salsas with it to add more flavor. I got the birria tacos which were pretty meh, nothing special at all. Overall we'll probably never come back... read more

Rating 5 stars because I would give this place a 9.5 out of 10 rating - only because I don't love the pay up front ordering experience. Food 9.5/10 Delightful. I got a half order of the nachos and a birria taco. Both were absolutely delicious. I could have gone for SLIGHTLY more seasoning on my steak for my nachos but the other condiments balanced it out. I'm a slow eater and my most buried chips stayed crunchy OH MY! Service 10/10 From the time I walked in the door my service was amazing even from the person not directly helping me. Ambiance 10/10 Love the well lit bar, love the volume of the music, decorations are amazing read more

Que Vida Tacos Yorba Linda - Shrimp salad with delicious dressing! - Tacos Near Me - Yorba Linda, California

Honestly I expect to be more impressed by all the great reviews. The food was good, not great. The carne asada tastes like plain steak(no marinade or anything). Chicken was also kind of plain. I had to go up and ask for a refill on my drink. You have to pay for chips and salsa. I guess maybe you have to want all the toppings on the tacos or they don't have a lot of flavor. The salsa that came with the tacos is good and definitely helped. Over all it has a good vibe. It's definitely nicer then most the Mexican restaurants in Yorba Linda. read more

This is a type of restaurant that you order first at the register and then sit down. They had a good selection of food. The tacos were really crunchy I wish they could've substitute with a soft taco. The seasoning on the shrimp, asada and pastor was great! The place was clean. The staff was super attentive and courteous. They dnt give u salsa and chips its separate. Get the sampler. Lots of parking and free. Def coming back. read more

Ordered Que Vida Tacos for the whole family and everyone got what they wanted. The food was good overall and hit the spot. The only small thing for us was that the guac had too much tomato for our liking. Other than that, we enjoyed it and would definitely go back. read more

Fun taco spot with great margaritas and good vibes! Love the walk-up and order and ability to seat yourself. Lends itself to solo or family dinner or easy to-go and last minute friends lunches/dinner where you can order apps and margs as you chat without pressure to hurry and leave a restaurant! Our family favs are the ca burrito and fajitas! Everything is yummy, keeps us coming back. read more

First of all, YUM and yes, def get food from here. To-go pick up service was very friendly. I appreciated their amicable communication and smiles.

I would def come back! :P read more

I found this place after looking for something that had small bites. When I walked in, there was a great big sign advertising Taco Tuesday, and wouldn't you know it? It was indeed Tuesday! I asked the cashier for his recommendations for the three taco meal, and he told me to try to carnitas, fish, and calabacitas tacos, which I did. They were all great! The food was fresh, the salsa it came with had a slight kick to it, and the tortillas were filled to the brim with ingredients. I also ordered an horchata, which had free refills. Definitely a good find. read more

They should have had me at "chile relleno burrito" and YET, I was wary of the website claim "Best Mexican Food in Yorba Linda". It felt like a bold claim, but I was wrong to doubt. It was truly and memorably delicious, even in a part of CA lousy with amazing Mexican food options! The chile relleno was tasty enough that I might order it on its own next time - often the chile is thin and overly stuffed with cheese - this chile relleno was hearty and flavorful. My family began devouring the carnitas tacos and kids meals before I could even consider a photo! Fancier than expected while still authentic and good value. We ordered takeout but were pleasantly surprised by the ambiance and plan to eat in on our next visit so we can try the cantina. read more

Very good great tinja chicken taco!!!! Service you better know what you want they are way too busy for you to ask questions

The ambiance is nicer than expected based on how it looks on the outside and the staff is very nice. But the food just wasn't flavorful and the combo plate came out slightly warmer than mouth temperature. We gave it a try because local people had been talking it up. But I'd much prefer to go to El Cholo instead in Anaheim Hills. El Cholo's price is comparable; it's full service;, and the food is more flavorful. read more

Can't wait to go back! Amazing service, food atmosphere! I can see this as a staple in my weekend routine. It's not overly crowded however I did see many placing to go orders. We were short on time and worried we would miss our movie, but we sat at the bar and even had time to spare. The chips n guacamole were good ..wished guacamole was Spicy but it wasn't. Next time I'll try their salsa. My goal is to try all their tacos so far I can say the asada and pork were good. I'll go birria next. Spivey margarita was good. Better than their house. Definitely a nice vibe and not pretentious at all. read more
