• Mexican • Virginia Beach
Booked 23 times today
Modern Mexican, Now Open in Atlantic Park, Virginia Beach.A KNEAD Hospitality + Design restaurant.“Mi Vida” translates to “My Life.” However, in Mexico, “Mi Vida” means much more. “Mi Vida” is a term of endearment bestowed on close family and friends to signify love, care and importance. When one says, “Mi Vida,” they are telling someone special how much they mean to them. MI VIDA describes how we feel about our team and our guests. It is our expression of Mexican culture and cuisine as interpreted through the lens of Chef Roberto Santibañez. Our menu is rooted in the history and culinary tradition of Mexico while exploring the ever-changing boundaries of this vibrant and evolving cuisine.

    Went for dinner. The food was great quality and all tasted super fresh and flavorful. I had the chicken fajita and although it was very good, the portion of chicken was small for the price of it. Other than that it was a great experience!

    Delicious meal in an authentic old tavern atmosphere. Our server was very cordial and attentive. We participated in a special holiday meal known as a “groaning board” and groan we did as we were served three types of deliciously prepared meats along with a salad and tasty mashed potatoes and an autumn vegetable medley plus biscuits and two different period correct desserts. The entire meal was scrumptious. A little pricey but you’re paying for the experience.
