The best Cantina in Costa Mesa. The staff was very friendly and attentive from start to finish. The food was beautiful and delicious. The menu has everything you could want and more. Portions were generous and vibes were perfect. Music and location also make this the perfect spot.

Such a great lunch spot! We just had lunch at Que Vida and it was such a pleasant experience. I ordered two asada tacos, and they were incredible. The tortillas were handmade, with cheese melted on before the asada, toppings, and salsa were added. My coworker ordered the two-item combo with an asada taco and chicken enchiladas.
You get free chips and salsa with your meal, and not just one salsa but three delicious ones. All three were amazing. The food was incredible, and the vibes were even better. The two ladies who helped us order were so sweet and friendly. We ended up chatting about matcha, and they gave us a few menu recommendations to try. I wish I had gotten their names because they made our experience so enjoyable.
The restaurant also has free Wi-Fi, which was helpful since we had to get some work done while we ate.

Received a salad instead of a quesadilla. Says quesadilla on the recipe and the other item is correct. Some quality checks would be nice. It is not the delivery drivers fault based on the receipt on the stapled bag.

Valarie made the experience a 10! I have only been here twice and she consistently met us with a smile and positive attitude. I have had enchiladas and tacos. They are consistently awesome. The only issue I have had is that the rice and beans have came out consistently cold. Both times they have quickly fixed the issue. This last time, Valerie went above and beyond to make it right. This kind of customer service and great food will make use continue to patronize this restaurant! Impressive, beyond today’s standards!

The food is absolutely delicious! I came in at happy hour and had the Birria Fries. It was the perfect balance of rich and fresh. The fries were perfectly crispy, the steak was tender, topped with a guacamole and pico de gallo to liven the dish! Great value for under $8! Their Que Tropical Margarita was a perfect addition, with fresh blended pineapple puree. It was smooth and refreshing on a summer day! Johnny, who started in the early days, was very helpful and shared his favorite options on the menu. I highly recommend this restaurant, whether you are a local or just visiting for the summer!

We ordered dinner for delivery, and everything was incredible! The calabacitas, asada, shrimp, and birria tacos were outstanding, as were the fajitas. The rice is fantastic, and i love the refried black beans. The portions were extremely generous, so it was a good value also. I would absolutely eat here again when I’m back in town.

This place is the place to go when you have Taco’s on your mind. We ordered Fish, Pork and Shrimp Taco’s. We also had a Que Vida Fish bowl on the menu. Taste, simply awesome.
We had also ordered Margaritas and we ended up ordering to go, it was so so good.
The icing on the cake was Eddie. His friendliness, way of interaction was just and simply great. Eddie makes this place super special.
