Opinions de Vida Taqueria Houston
This place is very underrated it is on the edge of the C terminal. The food was restaurant quality, I got a pulled pork taco + chorizo taco with rice and chips + guac. The guac had a nice limey tang and the tacos were the perfect amount of spicy. The food came out fast and the server was very polite
I have a milk, wheat, and red onion food allergy. I ordered the impossible tacos but unfortunately they didnt have it. They tried to make it work by doing a bean taco but the beans ended up having butter in them. They ended up giving me a full refund since I could not eat any of the food. I hope in the future they will have more food allergy friendly items, if so I will revisit my rating. My twin and her boyfriend had quesodilla and said they were alright. The staff was very kind and did their best to be helpful, I really appreciated their kindess and help with the situation
Really nice service here and a great (I think?) vegan option ☺️ they have impossible crumble tacos that were decent. I knocked a star because the food was eh - basically just a tortilla full of sauteed impossible crumbles with some pickled onion and rice/beans on the sides - but this airport isn't exactly rich in veg options so I was grateful!
Slightly above average airport Mexican. Service was fast and good checked all the boxes. Good place to burn time and refuel while waiting for our connecting flight. There are plenty of other options in the terminal but the was reasonably healthy, quick, and not at all greasy.
FYI- this is in the IAH- Houston Intercontinental Airport. Food ordering is all automated...u scan the qr code and order online. There's a cook right there behind the counter fulfilling orders and u pickup ur food from the bartender. We had the taco trio- my father said they were good...and 2 kid's cheese quesadillas- they were yum! My mother and I could have shared one order of quesadillas and still been full. The coffee was blah and cold...I ordered it w/half and half but didn't get it or any little sugar packets. All and all satisfied for airport service/food.
Food and drink were ok. However; after working in the industry for many years I Was slightly offended that the one serving me added a 20% tip before handing me The card holder to sign. Typically (because I have worked in the industry I tip a minimum of 20%) but because he just assumed and applied it himself I felt off put by this.
When you think of Tex-Mex food, the first thing that comes to mind is that unique flavor and spices of being exclusive to the Lone Star State of Texas. This takes me to the George Bush Intercontinental Airport in the northern part of Houston, TX where my tummy was craving some authentic food at "Vida Taqueria". Located in the North Terminal part of the airport and adjacent to travelers flying through United Airlines, I came here on the evening of 9/24/2021 at around 7:00pm while waiting on a one hour layover. The layout has a very "bar-like" feel to it with high chairs that surround the kitchen and bar area. All ordering is done exclusively through a tablet (to eliminate paper menus and the use of a QR code). There is also a large sized menu that displays all the food options, but no prices; which basically means that the eateries at airports charge a significantly higher price for out-of-towners and tourists. This is something you have to expect with is not uncommon. Since I was hungry from my 4 hour flight from California to Texas, I decided to go with their "Taco Trio" (I went with a variety that included shredded chicken, shrimp, & carnitas). This also included a side of tortilla chips and guacamole. The price for everything was $19 + tax. I figure it wasn't a bad deal considering each taco runs around $3.50/each while the chips/guacamole is around $8. They were quick though as my food came out in less than 5 minutes. I will say that these tacos were generously sized and included two corn tortillas but lacked a whole lot of flavor. My favorite of the three was the carnitas but as I mentioned, I've eaten way better; and I am a taco fanatic. The chips were not good at all; almost to a point where they tasted stale. The worst part of this meal was the guacamole as some of the mashed up avocado pieces were of a darkish-brown color. It definitely did not taste fresh at all so sadly, I only ate just a couple bites of this. All in all, I was not very impressed by "Vida Taqueria". The only reason why I gave them a 3-stars is that the size of the tacos were generously proportioned while the service was above average. But for airport food, I would advise checking out a different eatery. My best bet is if you are able to wait to leave the airport and find a way better place to eat, I would highly recommend going that route. So this place was just average to me; nothing special except for curbing my appetite.
The food tastes like what you would make when you have a bunch of leftover food and just decide to go for it. Service was great but yeah…
During our visit to the airport, we patronized Vida Taqueria. One wonders whether the proprietors of this establishment fully comprehend their business's name. Regrettably, the quality does not align with the name. It is unsatisfactory, to say the least. The tortillas accompanying the tacos were served cold, as was the taco meat. One can only imagine the quality of the chorizo. Furthermore, the rice was inadequately cooked, resulting in a crunchy texture. Disappointing experience. Charging a premium for tacos while serving food of this nature, warrants introspection rectification. FYI, the food pictured $30.
Worst tasting chorizo tacos I’ve ever had. 3 tacos and a soft drink for $42. Service was fine but food and price are terrible. How in the world does it have 3.8 stars?
Bland food & bad service! The food.. lackluster at best. ZERO FLAVOR. They could at the very least actually add some salt, pepper, spices to flavor to their food. It makes Taco Bell look like gourmet food. Very disappointing and flavorless food #vidataqueria 😕 The nearly non-existent waitstaff are not friendly and seemed almost zombie-like. I had to beg for water. Also there ordering system is confusing and didn't offer a printed receipt. If you want bland food and zero servics.....you will find it here. Looking at other reviews...it's normal for Vida to be bad? 🤢🤮
Everyone expects overpriced, mediocre food at the airport but this place really stands out from the rest... for all the wrong reasons. Unattentive staff should've been my first clue. I sat at the bar and ordered a breakfast burrito. I listened to the "cooks" question their own menu items (what ingredients go in which dishes) and then forgot which dishes went to which people. Who even knows if I got the one that I ordered! When I received my food the appearance of the burrito "wrap" really stood out; A kindergartener could've done better. If I did receive the one I ordered, then they definitely forgot to add the sour cream I spent extra on. The salad, as far as I could tell, came without a dressing unless they're considering salsa a salad dressing. Oh, and the chorizo lacked heat and is probably better suited for Fido as far as flavor is concerned. I could barely get halfway through this $20 monstrosity before I chose my dignity over my hunger 🤢 Do yourself a favor, DO NOT PATRONIZE THIS DISGUSTING, PATHETIC "RESTAURANT"!
