Asi Es La Vida Restaurant

The food was amazing and authentic. The fresh guacamole was the best I’ve had. Great side sauces for the chips. The Cesina was incredible and very tasty. My wife loved the Recalentado. Drinks were very good as well. Incredible atmosphere and very clean. Staff were hospitable and helpful. If I lived in the area I would frequent this wonderful gem. Give it a try, you won’t be disappointed.

This was good!! Another random selection that really worked! We made reservations (they weren't needed) and made our way over. The parking lot is small, but easily navigated by a full size SUV. The entrance is so casual, that it didn't seem like we were in the right place. When you turn that corner, it opens up into an intimate space that is softly illuminated, and the air is filled with a serenade of a . The food was amazing, to say the least, and it illustrated the clear difference between them and their competitors. This place is worth multiple visits to sample the entire menu!

Delicious fresh food with superb service. Our waiter/bartender was so accommodating and friendly (unfortunately we didn't get his name but he's awesome). Highly recommend this place! It was by far the best place we ate at during our stay in Phoenix! Cannot recommend enough.

Holy mole this restaurant is a hidden gem! We visited on a Saturday night and entered through their shady looking back door, walked down a narrow hallway and thought we may have been in the wrong place. Don't worry! You'll be greeted by a surprisingly vibrant and welcoming staff and bright ambiance just on the other side. We had the chef special and the sampler appetizer to share and they both were excellent. The traditional mole and mole verde were some of the best we've had. The setting with live music was a great touch and not too loud. Would recommend for a date night or a relaxing dinner with friends.

Stopped here over the weekend. Have drove past and always wanted to try this place. Our server was very friendly and attentive. We each had 2-3 drinks and ordered dinner. 2 of us got the ropa vieja and chicken tinga combo and the other the single ropa vieja. Overall the food was pretty good, but the chicken tinga was a little bland/missing some flavor. We did however enjoy the ropa vieja, the drinks, and the service. We also started with the guac (not pictured)

My wife and I celebrated our Wedding Anniversary here and had a fantastic time!! Our server, Irbin (sp?), was excellent in all his recommendations and drinks. My wife said the Sangria was the best she ever had, and the appetizers of Crepa de Camaron and later Mole Poblana and Cochinita Pibil paired off with the Queso Fundido were top notch. Our entrees of Carne Tampiquena and Filete Chipotle were great!! We wrapped up our night with a dessert of Crepa de Cajeta. While enjoying all of this great food, the overall ambience and live guitar music during our meal put a nice capstone on the night and our 31 years together!! Thank You Asi Es La Vida for a wonderful evening!!

Amazing is the perfect word for this restaurant. Our server was AMAZING. She knew the menu inside and out. She gave great recommendations for drinks and the chefs special. Live music is playing in the background with the amazing artwork of Frida. The dishes that are being served had so much flavor, and you wanted more. Delicious, flavorful desserts that you must try as well. So bring your appetite you won't regret it.

Unbelievable. So tasty. The service was unmatched. I’m leaving this review while inside the restaurant before I leave in order to not forget. Will definitely be bringing back my wife for round two!! Get the green enchiladas!!
