Vida Taqueria and Byob, Havertown

At Vida Taqueria & BYOB, experienced chefs use fresh ingredients to craft Mexican-inspired dishes, each with a modern twist. For example, for a unique take on fried chicken, they dust chicken breasts with blue cornmeal before frying them to a satisfying crisp, drizzling the dish in chipotle honey and serving it alongside cheesy cotija rice and smoky sauteed spinach.

Likewise, for a crowd-pleasing appetizer, the Vida team fire-roasts corn cobs before rolling them in a chipotle crema and crumbly queso fresco. Meanwhile, slow-cooked braised short rib tacos and Mexican desserts like tres leches cake and coffee flan round out the mouthwatering menu. And, a selection of margarita mixers like baja-spiced fruit—a mix of guava nectar, diced mango, jalapeno, and pineapple juice—accompany diners' alcohol brought from home.
