MI VIDA

"The Mi Vida that started it all on the Wharf recently debuted monthly DJ brunches dubbed “Viva Mi Vida.” The party goes down on the last Sunday of the month from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Guests can enjoy seasonal margarita pitches and Mexican brunch bites while dancing to top beats." - Tierney Plumb

"Ambitious, D.C.-based Knead Hospitality + Design brought New York chef Roberto Santibañez to town to serve as culinary director for this huge, artfully appointed waterfront restaurant with a prime position in the buzzy (and consistently pricey) Wharf development. By adding blue cheese, grapes, and smoked almonds to a guacamole perked up with pasilla chiles, customers can try one of the more interesting variations of the avocado dish. Creamy, cheesy enchiladas Suizas are a hearty option, and are there are plenty of ways to enjoy seafood by the Potomac, notably an entree of butterflied, roasted branzino painted in red and green adobo. A second location sits on 14th Street NW, and a third opened in Chinatown last Cinco de Mayo." - Tierney Plumb, Eater Staff

"The Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority (MWAA) just announced 15 fresh concessions opening at Reagan National Airport and Dulles International Airport this year. Most are retail names, but there’s one big restaurant to note. DCA will welcome an outpost of Mi Vida, Knead Hospitality + Design’s stylish Mexican eatery with D.C. locations at the Wharf, Logan Circle, and Chinatown." - Tierney Plumb

"Mi Vida, like a few Knead Hospitality + Design restaurants, is open on New Year’s Eve serving a special holiday menu. The Mexican restaurant is a great option for groups looking to hit up the bars at The Wharf after. Last year's menu included lobster, slow-braised short rib taco, and a vanilla flan-chocolate cake for dessert. " - omnia saed

"Mi Vida is your reliable go-to for a laid-back dinner on The Wharf. The Mexican eats are solid, though not exactly unforgettable. For a taco fix, local spots around the corner might give you more bang for your buck. Still, Mi Vida's multi-story setup is perfect for those spontaneous Wharf days sans a reservation or dress code.
