Vida Cantina

Mexican restaurant · Portsmouth

"This jaunty cantina’s owners take pride in serving locally grown and organic produce where possible, and even make their own tortillas using local heirloom corn. And you can thank chef/owner David Vargas’s wife Erika — a farmer and native Granite Stater — for the inspiration for the thoughtful vegan offerings." - Celina Colby, Kate McCarty
