Buena Vida Tapas Lounge offers fantastic food, drinks, and atmosphere, making it a "go-to" spot for celebrations, happy hours, and friends or family gatherings. The friendly and welcoming staff provide excellent service in a nice, clean, and not-too-loud setting. Menu highlights include the delicious chicken taquitos, Aguachile de Ribeye, birria breakfast sopes, chorizo breakfast flautas, Pulpo/Octopus, and crispy empanadas. The Mexican espresso martini and fresh-squeezed lime margaritas are standout drinks, though some find the mimosa flight a little too sweet. Prices are on the higher side but worth the quality and experience, with portions good enough to enjoy alongside drinks. The ambiance is perfect for social photos or watching games on the TVs.
