Vida Modern Mexican: Tacos, Brunch & Tequila
Vida Modern Mexican + Tequila in Redondo Beach is a fun and flavorful spot that serves up tasty Mexican food with a cool coastal vibe. Located right in Riviera Village near the beach, this place mixes Baja-style cooking with creative twists you won’t find just anywhere. It was started by two locals, Mickey and Justin, who wanted to create a welcoming hangout with great food, good drinks, and a chill atmosphere.
The menu is packed with exciting options. You’ll find classics like tacos and burritos, but with unique flavors—like birria tacos with cheesy tortillas, cinnamon carnitas, and spicy shrimp. If you’re a seafood enthusiast, try the grilled octopus or wild shrimp. There are also veggie-friendly options, such as cauliflower tacos and Beyond Beef, for those skipping the meat. Their brunch is a weekend hit, especially the stuffed breakfast burritos and sweet Bubble Churro Waffles.
Vida isn’t just about food—it’s also a go-to place for drinks. The bar is stocked with a wide selection of tequilas and mezcals, and their margaritas are a crowd favorite. Whether you’re sipping Max’s Margarita or trying the white sangria, the drinks are fresh, fun, and full of flavor. Taco Tuesday and happy hour are popular times to visit, with great deals and a lively vibe.
Inside, the space is bright, colorful, and full of energy. You can grab a seat indoors or chill on the patio under the sun. The staff is super friendly and always ready to help, whether it’s setting up a heater on a cold night or ensuring your drink is just right.
Vida also serves delicious desserts, such as horchata panna cotta, warm churros with ice cream, and a rich chocolate mousse paired with fried plantains.
With outstanding reviews and a loyal local following, Vida has become a favorite spot for birthdays, brunches, and casual gatherings. Whether you’re a foodie or just looking for a fun place to eat with friends, Vida Modern Mexican + Tequila delivers big flavors, beachy vibes, and a good time all around.
