We had a great meal here. We ordered quesadillas for the kids and they enjoyed them. The chicken finger kids meal was homemade and they were also yummy. The vegetable burrito had a great space and a nice kick to it. I ordered the pino noir and it was not good, switched to the sangria and was much happier. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We had great server and I loved the décor![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Absolutely shocked at this places lower rating (to be fair probably the fun loving Hinghamites that arent the brightest bulbs on the Christmas tree). Came with the family for lunch dinner. Started off with chips and salsa and it was pretty solid. Main course, kids got tacos, rice and beans and the wife and I got burritos. The only thing better than the presentation was the taste. Seasoned perfectly, hot and delicious. Our server was attentive and very friendly. Margaritas were amazing and not watered down. Prices are extremely reasonable for the portions and the amazing quality. After conversation with the family, all agree this is one of the best Mexican restaurants we've been to and, as a traveling family, we've been to a lot. 5 out of 5 stars and we will be back. Cheers! read more

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! read more

Mac and cheese, not good. Overall don't recommend if you don't wanna feel sick! I hate trashing places but just don't go here.

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. read more

Sorry not sorry. Not impressed- [[HIGHLIGHT]]the restaurant is huge and we were almost the only people in there[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] - service was so slow considering we were the only people dining in a restaurant that can seat hundreds- when I asked when we would get our food I was told they had a big to go order - also the food was below average at best. There was no spice seasoning or sauce it was so bleh. would not return or recommend - read more

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... read more

Service could be better. Waitress barely came to our table. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Baby cockroach crawling around next to us for a good majority of the time that I was there.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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.

Vida mexicana - Baby cockroach crawling around right next to us while we were eating. The manager or owner I'm not sure, just said "im sorry". - Mexican Near Me - Hingham, Massachusetts

Our experience was just meh. The carnitas tapatias were hard and appeared re cooked so not fresh. The shrimp appetizer tasted funny like pre packaged. Service was just ok. Drinks were good but came out slow. read more

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. read more

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! read more

Vida mexicana - That table was so disruptive to other Diners! - Mexican Near Me - Hingham, Massachusetts

Service was friendly and fast, [[HIGHLIGHT]]place was clean but a bit worn and dated, which was surprising since I thought it had been renovated.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Food was meh. I ordered the Enchiladas Supermas - it was a big order but there wasn't much by way zest or flavor. Not bad, but not great. Lacked both seasoning heat and oven heat, although the plate was quite hot. Had a hard time getting my water glass refilled, which is a problem when you've got a huge meal to power through. (I don't waste food unless it's awful, plus I was super hungry). The free chips are in a huge basket but they're really thick and not very salty. Salsa was thin but had a decent flavor. I'd been wanting to try this place and I'm glad I did, but it's a one and done for me. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

First time dining here last night with my son and DIL. We instantly loved the vibe, the fresh tortilla chips with mild salsa awaiting us. Started with the tableside guacamole, totally delicious, prepared to your taste specifications, and served in a stoneware mortar. Our drinks were copious and artfully presented. Entrees we're enormous and bursting with flavor and color. Son had the carne asada served with grilled street corn, a red cheese enchilada, and rice. DIL had chicken quesadillas and I ordered the shrimp chipotle - we two girls had enough to take home for dinner tonight. Next time we'll order the fried ice cream we saw delivered to two other tables - a dessert big enough to share. Very happy With our first experience and plan to go back. FYI, if you order the tableside guacamole, be sure to tip the chef! read more

This place is triple delicious. Richard was our waitperson and oh my he was absolutely amazing. Richard was on par checking us to see if we needed anything else and that our food was just how we wanted it. Our meal started with drinks, and my Iced tea with lemon was brewed to perfection so dark and delicious. Enchiladas were cooked just right and with a delicious sauce. I had a loaded nachos for my meal so yummy, plus our table ordered a nacho for an appetizer. I couldn't finish my nachos so snacking later. For dessert we had churros with 3 sauces, chocolate, caramel, and raspberry. Topped with vanilla ice cream to dip the churros in. Everything was so good we had decided what a great pick from the teens. Excellent lunch! read more

Our waiter Mario was unprofessional-- I couldn't find him for over 30 minutes after we finished our meal and then he confronted me wanting more money for his tip. Plus, he SILENTLY ADDED AN ILLEGAL SURCHARGE to the bill! A 3% "non-cash adjustment." (He never asked how I would pay.) According to MASSACHUSETTS GENERAL LAW Part I Title XX Chapter 140D Section 28A (2): "No seller in any sales transaction may impose a surcharge on a cardholder who elects to use a credit card in lieu of payment by cash, check or similar means." I paid a few dollars cash over the bill total and said no change necessary. I intended to leave more on the table but before I could put anything down, the waiter quickly returned to my table pointing at the bill saying "No tip?!? No tip?!?" and asked me for more money and a bigger tip. He had about 10% at that point, which was probably sufficient given how long we waited for the bill and how I needed to go in search of him anyways but because of this confrontation, I motioned for the manager across the room (who I had already asked to speak to when nobody could find my waiter) and he backed away hands up saying, "No, no, no. It's ok. It's good. Have a good night." I addressed the issues of the neglectful waiter and asking me for more money with the manager, but will let the AGO handle the legal issue of adding credit card charges to the bill. As far as the food, it was ok. The chips were thick and tasted like cardboard. The salsa was watery. The guacamole was fresh. Some people had it made at their table but not us. Portions were average. Prices were on the higher side. The restaurant is large and it was busy. Not packed, but it was probably a normal Saturday early evening. There were plenty of waitstaff moving around, except for my own waiter. I wouldn't go out of my way for their food and I definitely wouldn't return nor recommend this restaurant after this experience. read more

New owners took over the restaurant around a year ago and what a difference it has made. Drinks are top notch, made fresh from scratch (Recommend the Blackberry Mint Margarita, or Ginger) For apps you can never go wrong with the tableside guac, queso con carne, or Civechie Sinaloa. My go to meal is the sizzling fajitas or street tacos. We always love going back to Vida (and the complimentary house tequila at the bar doesn't hurt either). read more

I stopped in here for lunch because I was in the area. I didn't expect much but the restaurant has great ambiance and the food was excellent. I had a vegetarian burrito, a coconut margarita and fried ice cream. We also had table side guacamole made it was exactly as we wanted it. As a pescatarian, I had many veg and fish options. The server was attentive and friendly. It really was an enjoyable lunch. I don't live near the restaurant but I would make it a point to visit Vida Mexicana again.And I'm looking forward to it. read more

I absolutely loved the food I received here. The chicken quesadilla was out of this world! The flavors and cheese used was magnificent. The refried beans and rice were also perfectly cooked. The table side guac was good but there wasn't enough of it to satisfy 3 people so that was a bit disappointing. I think sour cream should automatically come with quesadillas. For dessert the tres leeches was good, not the best I have had it needs more moisture/milk. And the brownie cheesecake was very dense and delicious. I do think the staff needs a bit more knowledge of the menu items. I also think if you tell a customer if the flavored tea is sweetened and you're not sure you should check and let them know so they are disappointed. read more

Excellent Mexican foods on the South Shore. The atmosphere is nice, staffs are friendly and the services are quick. Try the table side guacamole and the queso dip. You can't go wrong with them as an appetizers. read more

I'm continually impressed with the food here. This place is next level Mexican food. You're looking at tableside homemade guacamole, the No Way Jose Burrito with chicken, rice and beans, and cream cheese dip dressing, and the least appetizer-sized Queso Fundido I've tried-- more like an entree. The saddest thing I've ever done was leave these leftovers at the restaurant. The only caveat I would make is that the pitcher of margaritas is not a bargain-- a pitcher is four times as expensive as a marg and you get 4 margs and you don't get to sample the various delicious margs on the menu; and the tableside guacamole, although delicious, is a small portion so ration it well. : @foodiesnapstagram read more

Honestly have no idea why this place has such blah reviews. We have been lamenting the boring takeout options on the south shore ever since we moved out of the city.

Delicious and we had leftovers for the next day that lasted. We will keep coming back. read more

Dropped into Vida Mexicana tonight. Place is huge and so is the menu. Really enjoyed the interior. Was fun and obviously a ton of thought went into it. Got seated right away. Started with chips and salsa and added the table side guacamole. Fun presentation and really enjoyed the starters. The menu was lengthy and was tough to choose. Ava was helpful here, and fun to dine with in general. My menu musing is it's tough to do a ton of things on a big menu exceptionally. Would rather see 1/4 of this menu, and most of the tweaks between meals can be offered but not wholly advertised. Kids liked their food, and are tough critics. Parents had steak fajitas and an enchilada combo. Steak fajitas were as good as anyplace else. Enchiladas were a mix of ground beef, chicken, and marinated brisket. I liked them in that order too. Rice was weak, but enjoyed the beans. We topped it all off with churros, which we all enjoyed. All in all we'd go back for sure, and try other menu items. read more

Terrible experience just now at Vida Mexicana in Hingham. We asked the hostess about vegan options. She was delightful, helpful, and knowledgeable. She took the time to review their menu with us, explaining that we should order anything with a star next to it, and for us to let the server know we want it vegan. Great, we were seated and looked over the menu. I started my order with, "everything is to be vegan, no cheese or sour cream." As I ordered the enchilada and veggie fajita, I restated "no cheese, no sour cream and no mushrooms" (personal dislike). When the order arrived (not our server), and before it was even placed on the table, I noticed cheese on the refried beans. I asked if that was cheese on the beans. He said yes. I informed him that we asked for our meals to be vegan. He looked confused as he proceeded to put the plates on the table. I then told him that we asked for no cheese. He took everything back. A few minutes later, our food came back without cheese on the beans. As I was picking the mushrooms out of my veggies (grrrrr), my husband started his enchilada. He quickly stopped eating! His had cheese inside the tortilla!!!! We got up to leave, and asked the hostess if we could speak to a manager. A young woman came out stating she was "one of the managers". I expressed our disappointment. She said that the server probably has never heard the word VEGAN, and did not know what it meant!!! What?!?! (English is not his primary language.) A restaurant that has employees who do not know what vegan means??? In her rambling of poor excuses, she also said that they have many vegan families who dine there. Well , if that's true, then shouldn't all of her employees have known vegan. That was quite contradictory to the poor excuse she gave me earlier! She looked at our order on her computer and said that "no cheese" was not stated. Very very disappointed all around, except for the delightful hostess! read more

Visited this spot on a Friday night for a casual dinner. Menu looked expansive, drink selection was diverse, and prices seemed reasonable. Food and drinks were as expected: solid, but not amazing. My only major complaint was the service - it was so slow. Made the DMV sloths in Zootopia look like Aldi checkers. I'm all about being compassionate towards businesses as they re-staff post-Covid, but we had to exercise a lot of patience with our server that night! read more

Overall it was good food for a decent price. The service was fast and the staff friendly. I would come again with friends or family We went last Wednesday about 6:15 and were done before 6:40. We were seated outdoors quickly were it wasn't too crowded and were waited on soon after arrival. We told them we were in a rush and they were kind and worked quickly. They brought out chips which were fresh and crisp but didn't bring out the salsa until a little later. The salsa was sweet and a little watery but my mom said it was one of her favorites. My shrimp tacos were good with overflowing amounts of shrimp. You can't go wrong with Mexican rice but the beans were too plain. Nevertheless, they were good mixed with the rice and added on top of my taco. My mom enjoyed her chicken quesadilla with rice and tomatoes. We both needed to go containers. I'm not sure if the guacamole was homemade but other tables got theirs in molcajete's (stone guacamole making bowls) which was probably a separate side order. Overall it was good and fast, not the best Mexican but certainly not the worst. read more
