They are closed at 6pm on a Friday. Doesn't look like they are in business any more. Took my online order and money though
(update 12/7) Buena Vida Cantina refunded the amount of my order, but not the online tip...

Not very good. They were out of some tequilas & they could not make a blended Margarita. The guacamole was pretty good.

I am here for the Workday Rising conference and this place was great for a quick dinner + drinks. I ordered the quesa birria and a mule. Service was amazing and the food/drink was delicious. Highly recommend!

Good, but not great. There are a bunch of small issues with this place that they should bring in a consultant to smooth out, especially the menus.

They canceled my online orders several times! and when I called to ask, they were rude and didn’t bother apologizing..
I’m never ordering food from this place again. It’s not fun to wait hours for your meal, just for it to get canceled with no reason given!

Really enjoyed my time at the Cantina. Their chips are amazing! It's not something that I would normally mention, but they were really remarkable! I had the carnitas plate and generally enjoyed it.

The food was really not that great. The service was friendly but a bit slow

Salt overload in Guacamole and Chips

Not only did both items have more salt already incorporated while preparing both items but there was also liberal amount of some colorful granular salt sprinkled on Guacamole (and maybe even in the Chips)

Sin Taco (Veggie) and Super Quesidilla (Veggie) had crunchy vegetables but didn't find it flavourful. Maybe the prior salt attack had numbed our palate

The decor was very dark - needed Smartphone flashlight to read menu

The server was polite and respectful. Had some challenge in understanding each other's accent and needed help from another server.

Waited about an hour for order while staff avoided my table. Food was really good once it eventually arrived
