Buena Vida Tapas Bar

We had the worst dining experience here. We waited over 2 hours to get dinner at a Tapas restaurant. We were only ever served 1 dish at a time with 15-20 minutes between dishes, that's the opposite of tapas.

Had a great fun dinner after the Inman park festival. Great tapas menu; great drinks. Staff was super accommodating to move us onto the outside deck when a table became available mid meal. A great fun dinner. Crispy chicken, great meatballs, stuffed peppers and other great tapas.

The food quality was very good as was the service. However, the quality of seats and tables in the restaurant wasn't the best. Especially the seating on the patio. The chairs were very uncomfortable. Also be prepared for a loud dining experience. We decided to move out on the patio because the inside was too dark and a bit noisy, and the noise level on the patio was even louder. Almost club like. Hard to have a conversation. It's unfortunate because the food quality was very good, but I'm not sure I would go back because of the ambience.

Service was fantastic. Food was pretty good, but expected a little more. Would go back again

Our fairy godmother served us well. She was informative on the menu to help us make the best decision possible. The grilled cheese, though simple in nature, was a welcome surprise. It was our 22nd anniversary, and she celebrated us with...say it with me, ¡CHURROS! P.S. Brad Pitt had contagious energy, though he didn't serve us. We will definitely be returning. ¡Gracias por la experiencia de España!

Very loud vibrant youthful crowd. Food was very good. No salt/pepper on table and I'd have used it. Steak was ordered medium rare and was cooked thru/well-done. Complained to server. She didn't offer to have it redone but she did take it off the bill.

Mediocre food, good drinks, and good atmosphere. Nothing crazy special, but a good place! 

Great drinks and tapas. Cute vibe with a nice outside on the Beltline. They also validate parking.

We came to Buena Vida while on a bachelorette party and their service was fantastic! Special thanks to Arden for making it a great experience!

Milan is awesome!!!

The food was good. However, there's something wrong with their drafts. I had 2 different draft beers and they both smell and taste like some kind of peppers. Someone should look into that.
