    New neighborhood favorite! So excited to have this new Mexican spot in the Huntington Harbour neighborhood! Delicious food, an awesome menu, fresh handmade tortillas, and a fantastic salsa bar with plenty of choices. The menu has so many tempting choices, it's hard to pick just one. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and so good! Such a great addition to the neighborhood Trader Joe's shopping center! Definitely coming back to try more.

    I bought the Asada Fries and I can't have spicy. I asked for only meat, cheese, beans crema, fries. I was fine with the Aioli because usually it's not spicy. It was spicy. It should say "Spicy Aioli" on the menu. It didn't. They also filled it with Jalapeños. On the menu it doesn't say Jalapeños or I would have said no Jalapeños as well. The problem is I told them that and still had to order a new Asada Fries

    Always fresh, always fast and always delicious. Their seating is comfy and outside available also.read more

    Only came here because my partner wanted to try it…read more We pulled up, walked in together, and before we could even settle in: "Ready to order?" Damn. Not even the complimentary fake restaurant "Hi, how are you guys?" Straight to business. I respect efficiency, but maybe sprinkle a little hospitality on top. First, I'll give them this: the place itself is pretty cool. Fun atmosphere, cool interior, definitely has some personality. The tables, though? Dirty. Normally I'd understand if the place was slammed and everybody was running around. Except one cashier was taking orders while the other employee was just standing there texting. My friend... the tables are asking for you. Put the phone down, grab a sani rag, give one of them a little love. You don't need to deep clean the building--just make me feel like my forearms aren't about to become part of the previous guest's meal. Food-wise? Meh. The flavors were actually pretty good, but some of the chips weren't fully cooked through. And the tri-tip? Let's just say "tri-tip" was doing some heavy lifting on that menu description. Then we went to get ice. Nothing. Zero ice. I understand they're currently transitioning and moving across the way, so I'm willing to give some grace there. But no ice? Guys... CVS is across the way. I'm pretty sure they sell bags of it. Sometimes the solution doesn't require a manager meeting. Overall, the service wasn't terrible. It wasn't great either. It was just... meh. And unfortunately, that describes most of the experience. The frustrating part is the place itself is cool and the food has some decent flavor. The little things are what killed it for me: dirty tables while someone is texting, no ice, undercooked chips, and basically no hospitality from the jump. Nothing individually is catastrophic. But stack enough little things together and eventually you're sitting there wondering why you came in. Venue: Pretty cool Food: Meh, but decent flavor Service: Not bad, definitely not great Chips: Some needed another date with the fryer Tri-tip: We need to discuss the definition of tri-tip Ice machine: Thoughts and prayers Dirty tables + employee texting: Come on now Maybe once the move is finished they'll tighten everything up. My partner wanted to try it. We tried it. Mission accomplished. For us, we'll stick with Prime or Los Cholos.

Ordered Tacos Dorados, which was 2 tacos--I did one chicken and one beef--rice, and beans (black or pinto. I chose black) I also ordered a churro milkshake. The tacos were yummy, beans and rice were fine. Everything was good! The churro milkshake, though.... WOW!!! It's a mix of cinnamon sugar goodness, complete with churro bites in the mix. It was so delicious, it blew my mind. It also maxed out my sugar allowance for the day Seriously, the churro shake was S tier!

He greeted us right away, answered all of our questions, had solid recommendations, explained the menu really well, and provided the kind of customer service you don't come across very often. He's exactly the type of person you want representing your business. The food was just as impressive. I ordered the enchilada and taco plate, and everything came out fresh and full of flavor. I appreciate that they didn't play it safe with the seasoning. Some Mexican restaurants make their food too bland to appeal to everyone, but Que Vida actually delivers authentic flavor without overdoing it. They also have a full bar with a great selection of house-made drinks, and the atmosphere fits Huntington Beach perfectly. It's clean, inviting, and a great place to sit down and enjoy a meal. If you're looking for flavorful Mexican food, great service, and a fun atmosphere, I'd definitely recommend giving Que Vida a try.

Shout-out to my good friend and fellow Yelper who recommended this place to me! Carnitas and barbacoa tacos were delicious; each was $3.55. Mega Surf and Turf taco (shrimp and carne asada) was amazing, and though it's priced at $11.35, it's a large taco! What I loved about these was the generous amount of flavorful protein. I also tried what I think was a quesa birria taco, and the crispy shell loaded with melty cheese and dripping with savory meat and consome was the epitome of an ultra satisfying combination. They have bottled salsa verde and salsa roja available, which were nice to try and use as needed. The ladies working there were friendly and knowledgeable, and I appreciated that there was a separate hand wash station outside the bathroom. Lots of free parking in the plaza. I'm 100% coming back for more tacos and specialties.

Opened it up and there were four match size pieces of breading that were most likely cut from the piece of fish. Told the counter girl I would like some fish in my taco.
