“ Wow! This was a huge hit and a new favorite! It's located in the beautiful Main Street area of Annapolis. It's really cozy and nicely decorated inside. The staff were friendly and helpful with all our questions. We ordered the corn bites which are very similar to elote corn... the best I've ever had! We also ordered the sweet potato taco and the buffalo cauliflower. The cauliflower one has old bay mixed in which is very "Maryland" but I wasn't a big fan of it as it overpowered the buffalo flavor... but it was still very good. The sweet potato tacos earned 4 thumbs up! One of the most delicious vegetarian tacos I've ever eaten! We will definitely be returning! ”
“ THIS PLACE IS INCREDIBLE. If you have the chance, you should 100% choose Vida. It was fresh, authentic food served quickly and with care! Our server, Cortney, was friendly and polite. The atmosphere was nice, and we had a view of Main Street. This food was beyond delicious!!! Ryan Trahan- If you see this, EAT HERE!! ”
“ Came to Vida with 2 friends for Taco Tuesday after my one friend recommending it because the bill is 20% off on Tuesdays. Love the laid back environment and the wall art. Our bartender was friendly and helpful when trying to figure out which tequila to go with for our margarita pitcher. The pitcher was mixed so well and it was quite strong. Some of our food choices were better than others. The guacamole and queso were so good but some of the chips were way too salty which made it hard to eat with the queso. We all got 3 tacos each. I had a carne asada, chicken, and scallop tacos. My favorite of the 3 was surprisingly the chicken. The carne asada was tough and the scallops could have be cut up more to be evenly distributed throughout the taco. It was like scallops were in the first two bites and then you realize they are gone and the remainder of your taco is vegetarian. Overall, good place but I've had better tacos from other places. ”
“ I just want to say what a wonderful time my friends and I had at this place. The menu does not give it justice. They have homemade lemonade, aguas frescas, sangria, Purple Drank is a combo of their sangria and signature margarita they make on the house. The tacos are more different than I've seen in a while, and I've worked admin for a specialty taco company in Los Angeles, so it was refreshing. They have 3 types of tortillas - corn, flour, and lettuce wrap. I personally loved the Thai shrimp wrapped in lettuce because it tasted like a spring roll. I have the ahi tuna in corn. I will say the guacamole is not as good as the California recipes, but I have to go by Maryland standards. But Maryland, you have the same ingredients, let's catch up with Cali, huh? We shared the chicken pastor nachos. The chicken pastor was very tender and savory, it really hit the spot for our party. The ambiance was inviting, the service was friendly and informative, we had a wonderful time. Good music, sports playing on silent, club vibes, super hip with notes of La Dia de Los Muertos. Gorgeous. ”
“ So we stopped into this small taco shop on one of the main streets in Annapolis just because it was raining outside and we were going to grab a few drinks. The Margaritas (spicy and watermelon) were soo tasty with the perfect combo of alcohol and taste. We ended up getting hungry and ordered tacos. I got the fried fish and steak tacos which were delicious and definetely worth the price. Staff were really nice. Overall not one complaint. Food was great and drinks were made perfectly. ”
“ In one sentence: The tacos were delicious but not worth the hefty price. Each taco cost $4.50 to $8.50. It would be worth it if the order came with two tacos, but I'm no econ major. There were four of us (to include myself), and each of us ordered 3-4 tacos. Despite each of us ordering our tacos for ourselves, the tacos all came out two trays. We had trouble figuring out which taco belongs to who and had to ask for assistance. Coming out on separate plates for each of us would have made it more convenient. I did enjoy the tacos overall, especially the Korean pork belly and chicken pastor. You do get to choose the type of tortilla you'd like to have (corn, flour, and one other). The restaurant was clean and tidy. Service was pretty standard, except for the taco mix-up. ”
“ We were strolling through Annapolis on a miserably hot day and popped in for lunch. We were seated right away in the back and started with some chips and salsa, well worth the $4. We got our son the quesadilla meal, which had no right being as good as it was. Here's how I would rank the tacos 1. Carne asada, steak was cooked to perfection (it was med rare, so if that isn't your preference, either let them know or maybe skip? I saw some reviews that took issues with the wellness) 2. Shrimp, lived the thai basil. It does come with pickles, which I didn't mind, but the surprised my husband 3. Sweet potato, great flavor profile 4. Chicken pastor, loaded with pineapple, which I loved 5. Scallop, good, but not a stand out Our server seemed to forget about our table often. A refill on drinks would have been the only issue we had. Other than that, great! Can't wait to go back. ”
“ What an amazing and interesting selection of tacos to try. They have great customer service. The prices are reasonable and the tacos are packed with food. ”
“ My friend recommended this place for us to eat lunch. It is a little place in the heat of Annapolis. The queso dip was excellent, so were the Vida Chicken Nachos. The tacos are served family style. This means that our tacos came out on a single platter and everyone just grabbed the tacos they ordered. The offer flour, corn, and lettuce wraps for the tacos. Thai Basil Shrimp tacos are hot but you can get them mild. They also offer four different sauces for your tacos. I decided not to use the sauces. The sauces are tomatillo, brick (bbq), habanero (hot), and guava. They have fast and courteous service. The artwork on the walls is fun and interesting. It gives the place a fun vibe. ”
