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

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 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

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

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

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

Service is always great. They are kind and helpful I love the Birria fries and tamarindo agua Fresca. The chicken empanadas are good too. The sauces are just amazing It's a cute medium size restaurant. Good for casual or family dinner read more

My fam came here after my brother's graduation and they hooked us up with a free dessert churros. The food was deliciousssss. The staff were very attentive and happy. I'm not sure if Albert was his name (something similar I think) and he was awesome. It's a pretty small place, but it was nice. Definitely coming here again! 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.

We generally have a good experience whenever we go there. Tried the breakfast items this time but I think I will skip the burritos next time. It was pretty much a potato burrito and not much else. Seems like with the prices they charge, the chips and salsa could be complimentary just like every other Mexican place out there. 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

Food 6/10 Service 8/10 Ambiance 10/10 The carne Asada tacos were the best thing I ate and they needed more seasoning, the pastor tacos were not good at all tasted undercooked, chicken tacos needed seasoning, burritos were good, the salsa and guac were spicy and delicious also the bar tender was kind and attentive. This place could easy be a 10/10 more salt and seasoning in the meats. 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

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

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

One of the best places for tacos. Highly reccomend visiting this area. Plenty of things to do around the area as well

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

I rarely write reviews right away but this gentleman's service was superb and cannot go unnoticed! D'Angelo helped us out to get a good place to sit as a member of my family had chemo coming up and I wanted her to eat and enjoy, but still keep her safe. He even took the extra time to tell us what was spicy and not! Now for the food itself - we had happy hour nachos with carnitas and man, it was filling and yummy! The chicken taco even has elote in it! Ok I'm done - you can go enjoy now :) read more

BEST restaurant in YL. If you've been you know. The bar and restaurant flow as one, yet you still can experience that quintessential experience we all seek of a Tequila Bar. Beto, Becky, Jorge, Deangelo, Carlos, BigT, David, the friggin crew in the back of house! Yall are the best. Food food food, service is top notch, but let's be real. The food here is amazing. All high quality, sourced from a source that is known... mainly Oaxaca from what I know talking to people. Ambiance is just chill YL vibe... everyone is welcome and if you've been once, you're a local. read more

We always drove by and wanted to visit Que Vida after they replaced the original Mexican restaurant that was here. Finally was able to order to-go via their online app. Super easy to navigate and user friendly. We came in and I wished we just stayed to sit down and eat. You are greeted with a nice looking bar and some TVs, the inside looks to have been updated and is nice. Now I know I can come here for games and sit at the bar. Their food is really good and priced well. We ordered the street corn, Tijuana mulitas, cali burrito, empanadas and mangonada milkshake. We will definitely be back and try out some other items in the menu. They all look and sound really good. read more

Que Vida Tacos - Street corn, cali burrito, empanadas and Tijuana mulita - Tacos Near Me - Yorba Linda, California

Extremely overpriced place for the poor quality of food. The tacos were mostly filled with onions, with barely any actual protein, which felt very cheap and misleading. The salsas were overwhelmingly salty, almost inedible, and to make things worse, the chips were also heavily coated in salt. Overall, the flavors were completely unbalanced and disappointing. Definitely not worth the price, and I wouldn't come back. read more
