    Overall, I was really disappointed with our order. All of our dishes were way too sour. It was painful eating dishes which was overwhelmingly drenched with limes or lemons. I wanted to return all of the food back to the kitchen. Also, I don’t understand about why we need to pay a 18% service charge. Service was good, but was it worth 18%?

    Just a principle issue with me. I see they automatically add an 18% gratuity fee on all orders - "to be fair to the staff". So management understands what a tip is supposed to be, it is an amount of money to be given to the wait staff based on their performance, not just because. Our wait staff was pretty crummy. We asked for a plate and some more water and never got either. If you want to be European where there is no tipping, fine, up your prices and say no tipping, but don't arbitrarily add 18%. It's insulting to your guests. Reply to owner - I guess you just don't understand the custom of a gratuity.

    Very unique interior, staff was excellent and friendly, nacho fries were pretty good, and fresh drinks were unique and different. That's about it. Not sure why this place is highly rated. The pork pineapple taco tasted foul; rancid actually. The short rib tacos smelled and tasted fishy. Their fresh tortillas were underwhelming, or maybe overwhelmed by the disjointed flavors in the tacos. The only good one I had was the steak taco. Price doesn't really matter to me, but, for the $60 I paid, I'd hoped all the tacos would at least be edible. I was initially excited to try this place, but it was genuinely disappointing. They had multiple signs stating "no $1 tacos here", but pretty sure $1 spots can make a better taco.

    I have been coming here for many years and there is a good reason for this. See my photos? The food is just so delicious. Their tortillas are amazing first off and their menu is a sight for sore eyes in the very over saturated market of Mexican food here in southern California. My favorite is the pineapple skirt steak, but the blackened salmon is what my wife loves there is something for everybody and that is why Pour vida is the place I take friends to have a special meal with me. It in many ways represents what I love about California; so much diversity, flavor and culture. Located across from city hall, now at the corner in a larger location I can safely say I'll continue to come here and introduce others to one of my favorite restaurants.

    Great friendly and attentive service. Tacos were pretty good. I had the crab leg taco was light and crispy just needed a kick but would try ither tacos. I did like the hand made tortillas. The side of potatoes with mole was a delicious...we had it as an appetizer.

    We are from Arizona and randomly found Pour Vida a few years ago on a trip to Disneyland. Ever since we have made it a tradition to get at least one meal here every trip. The tacos are top quality and drinks are delicious. We recently had breakfast/brunch and were equally impressed. One highlight was a sausage breakfast sandwich on sweet Mexican bread. So delicious. We will continue to come here every time we are in the Anaheim area.

    Nice place to grab a bite. I liked that the tortillas was scratch made. They were very good. My husband had a dish with fried potatoes and those were outstanding. His eggs were also cooked perfectly. I had two breakfast tacos with egg, one had bacon one had sausage. The eggs were under seasoned and had no flavor. I used the salsa but they didn't have any flavor either. I ordered a latte which was tiny, I mean minuscule. It was served in a regular coffee up and it didn't even come up half way. And it wasn't hot. It was also $5. For four sips. The restaurant itself looked very clean, the service was good, we had no trouble parking. They have inside or outdoor dining. We liked eating outdoors so that was a plus. I would like to go back and get the short rib tacos. Also you don't need to tip because it's included in the price!

    Something a little different. I loved the Cuban bowl and may wife loved the Smashie. My son thought the Pinapple steak bowl was so-so. There was a good drink selection.

    The food experience was great here. In order of tacos that we loved best : Pineapple Skirt Steak, Anaheim Burger, Mango Pork, Jumbo Prawn, and Vanilla Bean Braised Short Rib. We felt the pineapple skirt steak had so much flavor, we even ordered a second one! The short rib did not feel like it had a ton of flavor and it felt dry, however it may have been because we ate it last and it was really cold outside. We also ordered the Jarritos Rita which was very flavorful and the presentation was great. The green chorizo fundido was delicious, and enough for two people. And last we got churros for deserts, they were great and felt like they were made to order. The location was very clean, bathrooms clean, ambiance was great, and they do have outdoor seating with heating lamps. We will for sure come back!

    In Anaheim,we were meeting some friends for a early dinner. My buddy found this place on yelp with great reviews 👍 Great customer service and very polite too. Had some unreal choices on the menu. What we had was great n very tasty. The chili sauce was the best. Spicy,Hot,Mild. It went well with everything we ordered. Their chips was to die for because it was fresh made n crunchy. Thanks n 🙏 😘 yes we would come back.🤙🤙🤙

    I would’ve downgraded rating because the Jarritos margaritas were quite warm. But it’s a very very hot day in Anaheim and the servers were doing their best! Five stars for environment and delicious food!!! A great place to bring a date or meet with your friends. I highly recommend ordering the pulpo appetizer and get a side of tortillas. The tortillas are homemade and delicious. The tacos are all a la carte so I also recommend ordering a few different ones to try a variety. My favorite was the IPA fried fish taco. I had the ahi tuna bowl which came with a generous portion of Spanish rice beans, cauliflower, and Brussels sprouts; tasted great! Hit the spot! Yum!

    Super happy with our experience at Pour Vida. The food and cocktails were all delicious, the atmosphere is fun and cool, and the service was super friendly and fast. Glad to know a solid spot in Anaheim to have on my list.

    This place creates a delicious take on tacos, but with a twist. You won't find ordinary tacos here. Instead you get gormet fusions of tropical flavors mixed with traditional Mexican proteins. Plus the food is cooked to perfection. They can be a bit pricey though, something you'd expect from a place in this location. However, charging for chips and salsa drops a star. If chips and salsa was provided, if have given 5 stars. Bonus: This place actually have spicy salsa. I love heat and spice, and what most places claim to be spicy is ridiculous. However, this place delivers.

    We came here for Taco Tuesday and it was probably the best deal I’ve seen since Covid. 5$ margaritas and 3$ tacos. Their IPA whitefish was my favorite! So good! I also got the pineapple steak and pork with plantains!

    Go to Fullerton instead. Limited menu at this location. Service and ambiance are far better at Fullerton. Amended review. Sitting here for 30 minutes and still no food. Service is SLOW!!! It’s a Friday night, not mid week. Strike 3. The food was sub-par compared to Fullerton. The salsa was unlike any salsa we’ve ever had. Not good. Also, half the beers on the menu were not available.
