Great waiters & food here. No tacos de asada which was odd, but everything was flavorful & tip was included in the bill. Beware no physical receipt for business travelers.

5Star for your super star bartender who went beyond to just talk to me about getting something to just settle my stomach so much appreciated the care. You see I was not feeling well and wanted to order but knew food would not settle right and the other person was not customer service ready that morning (I am sure it was just an off moment. ) Your bartender was kind and very professional.

Absolutely delcious place, staff are very kind, and food, despite being a little pricey (normal in an airport) was delicious. Gotta make a special mention to the two gentlemen behind the bar, whose service and kindness improved significantly my first experience in Houston.

If you’re looking to kill a little time while you’re waiting for your plane at IAH in the C6 area, Vida Taqueria is the place to do that! They’ve got a very nice area to hang out and there’s power for all of your electronic devices before you board the plane. It’s super easy to order food and drinks from the iPad’s that are provided and the servers are very attentive and everything is served in a very timely fashion!

Title: A Gastronomic Haven in the Hustle of Transit - Vida Taqueria As a seasoned traveler, I've come to expect the usual fare when it comes to airport dining: the pre-packaged, the reheated, the mass-produced. So imagine my delight when I stumbled upon a gem in the midst of the departure lounges and duty-free shops - Vida Taqueria. This restaurant is not just a pit stop; it's a destination in its own right. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with the kind of warm and personalized attention that one might expect from a family-run establishment in the heart of Mexico, not a bustling airport. The staff at Vida Taqueria are nothing short of incredible. They have a rare gift for making every guest feel like the most important person in the room, despite the transient nature of their clientele. Their attentive service is marked by genuine smiles and an eagerness to ensure your dining experience is nothing short of perfect. Now, let's talk about the food - because, oh, the food! It's clear that Vida Taqueria's chefs are maestros of their craft. Each dish is a symphony of flavors, expertly prepared and presented. From the zesty tang of their freshly squeezed lime to the subtle smokiness of their carnitas, every bite is a testament to the authenticity and care put into their cooking. Their tacos are a revelation - the tortillas hand-pressed, the meats seasoned to perfection, and the salsas homemade with a kick that will delight any aficionado of Mexican cuisine. The menu also offers an array of options for all palates and dietary needs, ensuring that everyone can find something to savor. And savor you will - for the portions are as generous as the staff, leaving you both full and fulfilled. But what truly sets Vida Taqueria apart is the atmosphere. There's an undeniable warmth here, a convivial spirit that invites you to slow down, to savor, to enjoy. It's a welcome respite from the stresses of travel, a place where you can recharge both your body and soul. In conclusion, Vida Taqueria is more than just an airport restaurant - it's a beacon of hospitality and high-quality cuisine in a place often devoid of either. For weary travelers in search of sustenance, or for food enthusiasts on the lookout for an unexpected culinary delight, Vida Taqueria is an experience that should not be missed. The next time you find yourself passing through the airport, do yourself a favor and drop by Vida Taqueria. It's a journey for the taste buds that you'll want to take again and again.
