Sir And Mlady Dine Out

This colourful, cheery restaurant is on level 6 right under Centrepoint Tower in Westfield. It’s not what we were expecting, but in a good way! The décor and the staff are bright and inviting and the food is quite a step up from the usual Mexican fare. The menu features small and large share plates, tacos and salads. The dishes look interesting and tempting – not your usual type of Mexican offerings.
Nice food specially the Tacos and chicken quesadilla..The ambience is pretty simple as well. Being next to Chat Thai makes them get their overflow business. One of the better Mexican options in CBD. Being not too expensive either makes it an even better option 👍
Albeit smaller than its big brother restaurant in crows nest. It's a pleasure to see some of my favorites dotted across the menu and served with same punchy flavour. The ceviche is always a must as are the tacos.
We got tasting menu and most everything were enjoyable. We love the crab ball, tuna cheviche, lobster and beef fajita taco. Usually, we love beef fajita and we also love taco but this time, this was our least favourite. Tasted a bit bland, lack of seasoning. However, when we dip it in the lobster sauce, voila, it improves from score 5 to 8. Overall it was great food.
As we were craving some Mexican food, Los Vida’s promise of an authentic, vibrant experience was music to our ears. Their website states an underlying philosophy of producing rich flavours with simple ingredients, and we were very excited to sample the range of food on their menu. The Los Vida menu is quite extensive, and has many options that are suitable for sharing. For our starters, we had the guacamole with totopos, as well as the tuna ceviche. Both of these were quite delicious in very different ways – the guacamole was expertly put together and was full of flavour which complemented the totopos nicely, whilst the tuna ceviche was incredibly fresh. We really enjoyed the light taste of the tuna in combination with the rest of the dish, and we would definitely order this again.
These guys have reignited my love for Mexican. Gone are the days of melted cheese and fried tortillas. This food is fresh, tasty and has so much variety. Order the guacamole, the famous fish taco, TUNA CEVICHE is my all time favourite and the tamales. Definitely worth a visit if you are in the area. You don't even feel like you are in Westfield when you are inside the restaurant.
I quite like the decore at Los Vida, although it's quite dark which is not ideal for food blogging photos! There is a nice variety on the menu and some creative salads. The service was decent when I came here a bit later one evening during the week.
I found the food here not as consistent as the Crows Nest Los Vida but it was still nice regardless. There was way too much cheese in the watermelon salad. I ordered the same thing in crows nest and it was much more balanced.
Stop by if you're in the Westfield Food Court. Your options would be Guzman or Los Vida if you are craving mexican food. I love Guzman but there are no dedicated seating so you may prefer to go to Los Vida.
Hidden little gem within Westfield Shopping Centre - don't expect to find burritos/nacho's and all other stereotypical filling 'mexican' foods... this place has light & fresh dishes with a focus on the authentic mexican experience. Great service and flavours with a menu that is reasonably priced!
This hidden Mexican gem is on the top level of Westfield. The fit out is awesome and is very festive and fun. You're greeted by friendly staff and the bar tender whipping up delicious cocktails In an awesome suit. We sat down to taste their new summer menu which has more of an emphasis on seafood than before. The two highlights was the tuna ceviche and the beef taco, were both delicious. Very light and healthy Mexican. Service could be faster at the start, but once your first dish comes out things then come quickly so you won't be left hungry.
This place is a Treasure hidden in the westfield CBD. Be it ashopping stop off, lunchtime meeting or Evening late one it’s menu caters for all.
We enjoyed all occasions so far- The Child friendly offering too was awesome making the complete family so welcome
The menu is true to Mexican food and boasts sensational flavor with obvious fresh ingrediants.
Drinking is your thing then this place offers the biggest Mezcal menu I have seen before and the Cocktails are great value! Overall great place to come day and night –
Good Work Los Vida your changing the standards
The welcome and seating was done by an incredibly well mannered hostess. The menu was well explained and she was incredibly helpful. The tacos arrived promptly. It was well made, fresh ingredients and incredibly well balanced flavour.
So damn tasty! The ceviche is to die for. The food was super fresh and simple so I could actually taste the flavours rather than half a kg of cheese lumped on top! It's definitely worth a visit (with your mates...drink up-cocktails were pretty smooth too!) and look up above...the roof is cool as! I've been back since too, and the food was just as tasty and fresh. Enjoy!
I discovered this place when they just opened and were handing out drink vounchers. So we came and tried it and were pleasantly surprised by the food, and I've been back a couple of times. I like the snow pea salad and the fish tacos. The beef ribs are super tender too, although the first time we tried it the sauce was unbelievable spicy!!
I used to be pretty sceptical of the quality of restaurant dining at shopping centres, but the recent revamps to Westfield Sydney and Macquarie Centre have both proven me wrong. One restaurant which opened late last year is Los Vida, a Mexican restaurant on the top floor of Westfield Sydney. From the outside, Los Vida looks a bit like a little private food court just for their customers. But once you walk in, you’ll realise that there’s actually an inner section as well which when combined with the outside, offers plenty of seating for larger groups.
Outstanding food! Lots of fresh flavours in the tacos and the Patatas bravas was delicious! Also the best margarita i've had! Definitely a fan of the authentic mexican food!
Los Vida is located on the restaurant level of the Sydney Westfield alongside Chat Thai and Janus. Bringing a complete authenticity of food from all around Mexico, Los Vida is a classic Latin American food experience that is simple, elegant and healthy.
Los Vida is a chain of Mexican restaurants with various locations in Sydney, I had the pleasure of visiting their Westfield Sydney location up where Xanthi used to be located. The restaurant serves up a delicious mix of authentic Mexican dishes in a casual and welcoming atmosphere. Gorditas – crunchy corn dough filled w beef picadillo, served with tomatillo sauce

Must admit I wasn't expecting much from Los Vida but was pleasantly surprised that the food was actually good. We shared a couple of dishes between both of us. The patatas bravas were addictive, chunks of fried spuds and sweet potatoes covered with a thick tomato based sauce and white cheese. Another lip smacker was the sweet grilled corn dressed in a strong, salty cheese sauce. For mains we picked the beef ribs and the pork torta. The meaty ribs were a tad salty but the flavours were delicious. The slow-cooked pork roll paled in comparison but we still enjoyed it. If you can't tolerate spiciness, tread carefully here as my friend had to soothe the burn with a Corona. The waitress also recommended the bunuelos(?) for dessert. These mini walnut-studded doughnut balls were sprinkled with cinnamon and cardamom, served with a salted chocolate caramel sauce on the side. Perfect ending to the meal. We were absolutely stuffed. Service was friendly but a bit absent-minded. It took several follow-ups with different staff before we received tap water. No biggie though. Overall, Los Vida dishes up tasty Mexican food in a nice, convenient environment. Would recommend.
For a restaurant that is on the (quieter) sixth floor of a shopping centre in the middle of the Sydney CBD, where food courts abound, bars surround and competition is fierce amongst restaurant space, particularly Westfields where there has been a turnover of restaurants in recent years, Los Vida is making a name for itself.
I stumbled into this place one evening and been back a few times. The best value is the 7 taco sampler at $30 which will fill you up.
The mains are small so becomes expensive. I would have to get 2 mains and a side of Mexican rice to fill me up. The beef fillet is my favourite main on the menu. The quesadilla were nice and enchiladas were ok.
Great Mexican food!!!!! Goo.... Great Mexican food!!!!!
Good customer service, delicious food. Very recommended
Top quality Mexican meal!. Went here on Saturday night for dinner. Great food and great service. We started with some totopos and the chicharrones, both excellent. For the main course I had the beef ribs, which were fall-off-the-bone tender. Delicious! We had some churros for dessert, which while nice weren't as great as the starters and mains. We also had some cocktails, I can highly recommend the Mezcolada! Would definitely return again!
I came here for an early Saturday night dinner with a Groupon voucher and my family was pleasantly surprised and the amount of food and great service we received.
As it wasn't busy when we arrived we were well looked after and food started to come out all at once which made it difficult as the tables are small. Highlights are being the fried potatoes, pork belly and beef ribs. The ribs were so tender and the pork had a nice crackling on top, I just they gave me a proper knife to cut it. Their Corn chips with guacamole was a nice start and very addictive.
As we were very full, it was lucky that their Churros were small pieces. I have had better but overall we were all very full and couldn't believe the amount of food we received. We also ordered a cocktail each which made it great value. I think we will be going back soon!
Surprisingly good. Armed with a Groupon we took the escalator to the 6th floor in Westfield with few expectations and in no time we were proved utterly wrong! Everything was delicious with the ancient grain salad, the blue eyed cod and the hibiscus flower flautas being highlights. We polished off the meal with freshly made churros and vowed to return soon. Service was friendly and efficient. Thanks guys!

Check out my sample of Wintergarden To start us off the Wintergarden Deli introduced the group to their Nutella frappe and savoury pumpkin and feta frittata with kale and quinoa salad. Nutella frappé, you ask? The drink was absolutely delicious! As for the frittata, the slight sweetness of the pumpkin and salty creaminess of the feta was a nice combination. The salad being sweet from raisins, sour from the dressing, and crunchy complemented the frittata well in taste and texture.
Really good. Fantastic spot ....friendly service. Nice corn chips to start. I had 3 really good tacos : pork , fish and lamb....all great but special mention to the lamb...really nice grilled flavour. My partner said the pork belly was amazing. Ceviche was nice but maybe needed a little bit more lime zing. My parents both had quesadillas that were also very good - and the bottle of wine we had was good and only $28. Really happy we chose this place.
Fantastic food and reasonably priced!. My partner and I came here on a Friday evening and were pleasantly surprised by the wonderful mexican food on offer here.
The margarita we had was fantastic - it was freshly made (not from a machine) and one of the better ones we have had in Sydney. We had some corn chips and pico de gallo to start. The corn chips were obviously made on site and tasted delicious. The pico de gallo was fresh and vibrant and matched the chips perfectly.
For our mains we had a selection of tacos and a side of corn on the cob and patatas bravas. The meat in the tacos was seasoned perfectly and extremely juicy. The patatas bravas was made from sweet potato and had just the right amount of spice. And we loved the corn on the cob which was smothered in a cream chipotle sauce.
The staff were extremely friendly. This is one of the best mexican restaurants we have been to in Sydney and we would definitely recommend it.

Just read the other reviews - not sure what any of the other negative reviewers are taco'ing about - the food is so good! It is all subjective, however, I came here with my boss for a lunch and the waiter gave spot on recommendations and was even honest by saying he thought I'd didn't need to order so many tacos ( I eat with my eyes). I ordered four with a variety of meat and fish; not only were the portions extremely generous - as many other Mexican restaurants I have been too skimp on the meat and goods - but the manager also gave me a complimentary side order of homemade hot sauces, as I expressed my love of the hot stuff! Usually $3 ( I think), which is very reasonable compared to other restaurants that also charge for side dips. I've told so many people about this gem in Westfield Pitt St among all of the other standard chains that don't cut the mustard. I'm off to Mexico next month for three weeks so hoping to find amazing tacos just like at this place. Thanks again for a great lunch and will definitely come again before I head overseas. Aisha
Surprised by the negative reviews below because their food is really good and so is the service. Went here today after about 9 months from my previous visit and tried the unique hibiscus flower dish with mushroom quesadilla while my wife tried the crab cutlets and they were yummy and great. Lots of choices for vegetarians. Much better than most of the other 'Mexican' restaurants in town that serve quite under-prepared meals. Wont hesitate recommending to anyone.
Heard about this place from my boss. I'm a BIG fan of Mexican food but it's hard to find traditional Mexican apart from the fast food style spots we have around.
Los Vida did not disappoint. The interiors were just right and the service was great. The food was served hot, fresh, and with just the right amount of spice in each dish. We ended our meal with the lightly sweet Buñuelos. Their Ceviche is highly recommended. Definitely coming back when I'm in the area :)
