I went on a Thursday for Happy Hour. We had the beef and chicken tacos, chicken flautas and the nachos. The food was delicious and freshly made. The service was great, she was always checking on us and kept cleaning our area. The ambiance was business casual with an afterwork crowd. They have a dj who plays all types of music. read more

If you're looking for a happening bar spot this place is great. If you want to hear each other, make reservations on the second floor. I didn't know the place was 21 and over until after we made a reservation. Wish it was more obvious on yelp that it's 21+ read more

Let me start off by saying this place was a straight VIBE. The decor, music, ambience.. 10/10. Started off with drinks and I got a mango marg with salt on the rocks, tasted as expected. Ordered the trio guac and the veggie nachos. Was pleasantly surprised with both of these appetizers. I don't think I've ever tried guacamole with pomegranate and jicama before. Every flavor was exploding! Service however was a bit slow, had to ask for hot sauce 4-5 times and that too from multiple people. Ordered a veggie chimichanga for my entree and it was a decent portion size. We did read that plantains would be part of the chimichanga, but didn't realize how big it would be. It pretty much took up half of it lol. The green sauce that came with it was especially yummy and flavorful. Overall pretty yummy, would come back maybe for lunch. read more

So glad we decided to come here before our evening show! Beautiful decor and great food. One of the better margaritas I had. Bad for a yelp review but I forgot to take pics of the food but literally everything was fabulous. Bonus is that they take reservations on open table! read more

My absolute favorite place for Mexican food in nyc. Moving from California it's hard to find good taco spots but Vida Verde has amazing happy hour from 4-7 and a great menu. I've been here a bunch of times for brunch and at night with friends and it never disappoints. The music is always great. Drinks are always strong. The food is delicious. And the bartenders and staff are always great. Tonight, Ricky at the bar was the total man and took care of my friend and I greatly. He even stepped in and asked someone who wanted to order ahead if he could wait until we ordered since we were at the bar first. Ricky was wonderful and I'm happy to have caught happy hour just in time. read more

Great lunch today at Vida Verde stopped by before the Stephen Colbert show taping. Great music, vibe, service and food was great I went with the waiter's recommendation of the brisket quesadilla & was fantastic. I also enjoyed my Passionfruit margarita.

The restaurant is very attractive. I love this time of year cause most places are decorated for halloween and this one definitely joined so i liked the fun atmosphere. Theres 2 floors so we went to the upstairs bar. The frozen margs were great & so was the guac and sweet potato fries. The staff was friendly. I'd definitely return to try more menu items read more

I was in search of late night tacos ... though there was a special menu; THERE WAS FOOD! I immediately thought when the security/ host started talking to me about the bar that I was going to immediately be pissed off but, again a night menu is not sans food (specifically tacos) or a closed kitchen. Anyhoo, the bar stools are cushioned, there are hooks and there was space between patrons; a thing I usually abhor about eating at the bar is the limited space, this was not that. Back to the reason: there were 3 types of tacos available I chose fish (the menu wasn't a mix & match vibe) with yuca fries and a strawberry margarita. I've closed a tab with out paying immediately before which I was taken aback by the force of which I was asked to pay before receiving anything besides water (others did not receive this poor treatment, 3 other groups paid after enjoying their order) probably why I didn't enjoy my food as much. Feelings do make you want to return. I received my order and the presentation was wonderful. So my third spot for the night delivered & I remembered as I walked up to it, that was my 3rd time there! Frozen margarita was MEH, 3 of the 4 sauces with the yuca agreed with my palate and the fish was crispy in the tacos which lacked a little flavor but the sauce from the yuca zushed them up! Overall I was glad I got what I desired though it was packaged differently in my mind! read more

Came to Vida Verde for a birthday and we had a great time. I got there a little early and spent some time connecting with the bartender. It was a Saturday so I was in a festive mood and got a couple drinks while I waited. Music was fantastic. Drinks were delicious. Nice space too. When the group arrived we chatted a lot with the staff and had a great spot. I got the burrito for brunch. It was one of the best I had in a while. I'd be back for sure. read more

We came here for the $10 Margaritas. All of the Margaritas are $10 all day on Monday's except for the ones that have reposado. The margaritas were really good. I had the 818 spicy pineapple Margarita and I was willing to pay the regular price. After that I stuck to the $10 Margaritas. The food was average. We ordered the chips with guacamole and a lot was going on with the presentation. Then I tried the shrimp empanadas and it was okay. The shrimp was diced and they added other ingredients with it and make the inside a little soggy. They also have a rooftop, since it was Monday you had to order at the bar and they will bring your food to you in a take out container. So we opted to stay downstairs and have our meal. The place was clean and they had a nice relaxing vibe with good music playing in the background. Would I go back? Maybe and I will try something different. read more

Went out with my friends after a movie night! By far the best nachos ever! The crispiness of nachos accompanied by delicious drizzles of various sauces, just the right amount of cheese and lots of herbs at the top! The plate was huge and our group of three was skeptical if we could finish it, 5 minutes in and it was all done! So so good! Mahi mahi tacos were great too!! But to my surprise the mushroom Quesadilla were better , the mushrooms were sauteed with a perfect blend of spices and the cheese was optimal not in excess ( which I prefer). This 5 star review excluded the enchiladas ( I did not try them but my friends weren't too happy with it) Great ambience! Great food! I would definitely want to go again! read more

It definitely is a nice vibe and a lot of things going on the evening we've visited this place from groups of people celebrating birthdays and groups talking over the music lol guess a little more volume to the music would be nice to add to the amazing art work they have. Well I've got the chicken chimichanga that was really good with a frozen passion fruit margarita that wasn't a 2 out of 5. We ended the evening with trying the tres leche piña colada that tasted like loaf cake with plane milk not really impressive. This rating is to say that the vibe is nice, the actual food is good but the drink and dessert wasn't the greatest. Will visit again to get an over all feel. This place is however clean and bathrooms well kept Greta music, staff was helpful and kind and willing to help and best explain the menu and brunch options. Also note the Resturant was a bit cold people all wore jackets lol granted today was 13 degrees read more

Service was great. Tacos are average but still good. Queso fundido was the star of the show but they need better chips to hold all that cheesy goodness bc the Chips kept breaking. But it's a vibe anytime you go there, ambiance is top tier and always a party read more

The ambience is so cool here - quite colourful and lively one! The fully loaded nachos were quite amazing! The green sauce was killer on the nachos. After quite a long time, I enjoyed nachos somewhere. Looking at nachos quantity, we thought we won't be able to finish it off, but to our surprise we finished all of it. Mushroom quesadillas looked bland but it was seasoned so nicely with spices! Absolutely loved it. The veggie enchiladas ranchero was quite an average one. I wish they had more vegetarian options. Service is quick and no reservations problem. read more

Loved the vibe of this place. We tried to get a table but we're u lucky without a reservation, but found a spot at the upstairs bar. I'm looking forward to checking the rooftop out when it opens too. The food and drinks were great. Yucca fries were amazing and the corn too! read more

Visited this spot with colleagues for happy hour and loved it. The margaritas and steak nachos were excellent--the steak was tender and well-seasoned, and the guacamole was fresh and flavorful. The spicy margarita pitchers were the perfect way to wrap up a busy workday. The ambiance has a lively bar vibe and was a bit loud, but still full of good energy. Staff were efficient and friendly, which made the experience even better. read more

My group enjoyed the ambiance of the space and the food. The drinks were okay (spicy margarita on the rocks was definitely better than a regular, which was too sweet, IMO), but I wish there had been tangible menus instead of just a QR code, because my friends arrived before me and had already started ordering, so when I got there, I just ordered without looking at the pricing, and when we got the bill, I thought it was quite steep. I don't know if a happy hour rate was applied or not. The birria tacos were rather good. I liked the spicy salsa that came on the side, but the provided consommé was tiny and not that helpful. read more

This was a spot we decided to try after seeing a show at the MET. We were going to try Tanner Smith but this spot seems more diverse and lively. The only issue I had was that it was LOUD. I'm talking CLUB loud like back in the day - feeling the bass in your chest loud. Everyone was nice and drunk (which tells me the drinks and vibro are good). The drinks were delicious and although the kitchen was set to close soon, they accommodated our order and it was amazing. We would definitely try this spot again. No regrets! read more

Vida verde was great. My group ended up doing the bottomless drinks which was a 90 minute experience. You have about 5 drinks to choose from including frozen margaritas, Bellinis, mimosas, seltzer and beer. Our server Easton was fantastic. He was quick to get our orders in and he definitely made sure we got the most of our bottomless drinks. There was great ambiance. Very fun decor and music. The food was good. I got the burrito bowl which was very good. I wouldn't say that it was the best burrito bow I have ever had, but it was good. Overall it was a great restaurant and I will definitely be coming back. Great place to bring friends. read more

In the mess that is midtown this is a great party like dinner experience with ample seating on the 3 floor venue. They have various specials throughout the week so keep an eye out for margarita monday $10 and other deals like late night happy hour downstairs. For food we ordered the Cobb salad which was very filling and tasty I wasn't a huge fan of the chunks of cheese but the roasted corn chicken and cucumbers made it. The steak and cheese tacos are super juicy and flavorful and a must! read more

We've never had the food, but love the bar. The whole vibe is so fun and the bartenders are usually very friendly. There was one tall, thin woman who was less than friendly on an afternoon where she only had 2 patrons at the bar besides our party. The drinks are higher priced, but they're creative and flavorful. They have a nice variety of beer on tap. read more

Had a relative visiting from out of state, and they found Vida Verde online and wanted to try them out. Made reservations for 4 on the last Friday of 2023 at 430 PM via Resy, simple and straightforward site to work with. They are located by Midtown right off 8th Ave on W 55 street. Trendy outside and bright vibrant colors/set up inside. They blast different kinds of Spanish music. Two of us arrived about 20 minutes early and got seated with no issues. They have high tables with stools that have no backs and regular size tables with booth seats and wood chairs with backs. You scan a bar code for their menu. They have a pretty strict 90 minute seating policy, we sat at our table for a few extra minutes because I was still trying to finish my meal and I was asked to take my food in a container to go. Meanwhile, there were several tables with no one sitting, and it felt like we could have been given some consideration to at least finish what we ordered. We did a mix of happy hour drinks and regular drinks. They don't have premium liquor at all, from what the waiter told us. Just well brands, we got rum and cranberry, which was a good mix of rum and juice. We tried 3 of their $17 dollar drink mixes and weren't very impressed with two of them. For eats, their menu offers plates of 3 small tortilla tacos with different types of fish, chicken, or beef. They also have appetizers, entrees, sides, and desserts. For apps we did shrimp empanadas and their guacamole and chips. The empanadas were delish, you get pieces of shrimp and some little kicks of spicy. The guac was in a deconstructed set up, you get to pick which parts of the guac you want on the chip. We decided to try the nachos for $19, with no protein. This was the best meal of the visit, a huge plate of nachos with cheeses, sauces, red onions, all of the fixins piled on top, and enough to share with 4 people. We also got the salmon tacos, birria tacos, and Mahi Mahi tacos. Each plate of 3 tacos ranged between $21 and $24. They were decent. I wouldn't run back to try any of these again since flavor lacked. Our waiters were Ralph and Jesus. It must have been an off day for Ralph since he was extremely short with us, didn't engage when we tried to inquire on suggestions for food and drinks and when our 90 minute time was up he rushed over, told us we needed to pay for our meals and I would have to take my food to go because we weren't allowed to sit longer. Jesus was more pleasant, joked around with us, and carried a much more positive vibe. Our bill came to $234 for 4 people. The bathroom is clean and well kept. They also have a bar area. I have no plans of returning for another visit, and I am not sure I would recommend it. But, it was an experience, and I love new experiences. read more

I had high hopes on this restaurant/bar. Ambiance is cute but they have one bartender for the whole bar. Drink are par if you had a michelada you know Clamato is a staple and for being a Mexican bar . Ehhh ... Salt/ Tajin rim so small can't even taste. If you're Latino and know Mexican drinks don't come and if you're trying to taste Mexican drinks don't come you will not get a good taste on our culture. read more

Vida Verde has a great vibe--fun atmosphere, tasty food, and friendly staff. It's a solid spot for a night out. Downsides: most of the seating is stools (even at high tables), which isn't the most comfortable, especially with nowhere to put your jacket. Also, the strict 90-minute dining limit was a letdown. We finished eating and were ready for another round, but got rushed to pay and leave. Fun place overall, but the seating and time cap take away from the full experience read more

Taco Tuesday review: $10 nets you 3 tacos, but they all have to be the same kind, so you can't mix and match fillings. Boooo! That said, the quality of the tacos is unexpectedly decent for a Midtown joint, at least where the Carnitas Tacos were concerned: juicy, meaty, savory, and loaded with veggies. Mmmm! We ordered the double size of the Chips and Guac, and it could've easily satiated all 6 of us. They even served the guacamole with tomatoes on one side and onions on the other, in case people had preferences for the mix-ins. Nice. Drink-wise, we got the Happy Hour Frozen Pomegranate Margarita ($10), which was too tart, and pitchers of the Red Sangria (tasty) and Cucumber Margarita (super refreshing). Throw in the colors and the Millennial-geared Top 40 music, and you've got yourself a good Tuesday night. read more
