Problem: I do agree they have some of the best green sauce this restaurant fails in so many ways. When you order you see the buckets of meat sitting there in open air behind counter. Second everything is microwaved. Have you ever microwaved shredded cheese on a styrofoam plate? It's not great. Better options in old town include America's taco shop and Julio's too where dinner is actually cooked and not thrown on plate and microwaved. I wouldn't recommend it.

Problem: Against my better judgment I decided to give Vida a try......I had heard and read mixed reviews and that alone usually will keep me away, but I was advised to try a specific dish. The service was spot on and I had high hopes but after receiving my 'lump' crab nachos my whole attitude changed. There were 8 pieces of individual nachos buried in cheese and little else.......hmmm $12 bucks for 8 pieces of baked cheese nachos? I gave it a try and all I tasted was cheese and grease...no black beans, no crab....cheese. I thought perhaps they had given me the wrong order so I peeled back a glob of cheese from one of the 8 pieces in search of 'lump' crab to find little bits of crab. Ok, my bad.......that's what I get for going against my better judgment so I took a L on this one as I had promised myself not to bother with this place......

Problem: I don't know if I came on a bad day or what, but I didn't enjoy the food here. The staff and atmosphere was great and friendly, don't get me wrong. I just didn't enjoy the food as much as I thought I would. I ordered the catfish and oxtail, which were actually really good! It's just the sides that were below par. The macaroni was bland and didn't taste much like cheese at all. Even the table behind me made a complaint to the waitress about the macaroni. The greens were cut into strips, which was a little weird, and they weren't soft or flavorful like how good greens usually are. The mashed potatoes and gravy was very bland also, with no real flavor. I think the sides are just important as the main dish, so the poor quality of the sides really hurt this restaurant from shining as a good soul food spot in Las Vegas. Maybe I'll take another trip in a few months to see if they've made any changes.

Problem: Very surprised how good this place is, menudo and birria severed everyday instead of just Sundays like most restaurants, the birria was excellent . They also sell beer and make micheladas! Food prices and cheap might be a little more expensive than Roberto's tacos but well worth it . I will be coming back! :)
