Buena Vida is a highly praised restaurant in San Francisco, known for its exceptional service and delectable cuisine. The staff, including the wait staff, bartender, and manager, are consistently described as "awesome" and attentive. The restaurant offers a variety of unique and tasty margaritas, including a spicy option, as well as a diverse taco selection with a fair amount of vegetarian options. The Habenoro salsa and Quesabirra tacos, with their tender meat, melty cheese, and flavorful dipping juice, are particularly noteworthy. The chips are amazing, though some find them too salty, and the carnitas plate is enjoyed by many. The space is beautiful, cozy, and inviting, with Mexican music adding to the charm. While the menu could have more options and flexibility for mix-and-match tacos like Pastor and Pibil, the food is fresh and delicious, especially the tacos and salsas. Service can feel off-putting at first but improves, and the team accepts feedback well. Buena Vida remains a "little gem" in San Francisco, with consistently amazing food and a charming atmosphere.
