Our Story

More than a meal —
it's a feeling

Vive La Vida — live life — isn't just a name. It's the philosophy behind every dish we serve. We opened our doors in the heart of Smithfield because we believe the best meals happen when good food meets a genuine welcome.

Our kitchen team sources locally whenever possible, prepares everything from scratch, and treats every taco, burrito, and side as if it were being made for family. That's the standard we hold ourselves to — every single day.
