Vida Cantina

The atmosphere is good. Food tastes great. The only reason I didn’t give 5 stars is because the delicious “blue corn fried shrimp” tacos were impossible to eat without making a complete mess. Maybe a bigger tortilla to actually hold the ingredients would solve this and make it so they can be eaten by hand.. Overall great service and food. I will come back again when up here in NH..

Went due to reading favorable reviews but was not that impressed. Three stars because the server was wonderful, The restaurant was clean and presentable. If you are looking for traditional mexican fare this is not the place for you. Definitely a modern twist (which in fairness they state) but the drinks were weak, small and expensive. ($12 and $15 and I would guess they were 8 oz (possibly 12 but I doubt it). Glass was full of ice and no straw (could have used at least a paper one) ... charge for salsa and chips (chips were stale) honestly if concerned about cost, then give small portion for complimentary but lets face it, no restaurant "gives" complimentary, it is figured in their price. $17 for 2 chicken enchiladas (anywhere else they would be $12) $18 for shrimp ones but didn't have whole shrimp - was chopped up so small, hubby didn't think there was 3 shrimp combined. The chicken in mine was good and not dry but both dishes were swimming in sauces (way too much and just drowned out the food). We both wished we had gone with the tacos, from pictures I have seen looked better than what we had. I can appreciate that they offer farm-to-table dishes and support local, but the menu and presentation just didn't do it for us.
