I was harassed and made to feel very uncomfortable by one of the waitresses here today.
After coming here and really enjoying this bar last night, I returned with a friend during brunch hours to ask to use the restroom as I urgently needed to do so and was still around in the area. The waitress pointed me towards their mutiple restrooms and thanked me for asking.
It was to my surprise 5-10 min later to hear loud, repetitive bangs on the restroom door. After asking what was happening and receiving no response, followed by more bangs, I raised my voice to ask again - to which the same waitress replied that I had to leave as there were “customers waiting”. (My friend in the bar recalls seeing no one waiting for the restroom.)
I was stunned and finished up as quickly as I could. I walked out of the restroom to motion to my friend for us to leave and turned to see the waitress glaring at me and waving her hands - motioning to shoo me out of the bar.
I walked out of the bar and turned back on the sidewalk to see her standing outside the door glaring at me, maintaining her shooing motion. Not often am I left in tears from something like this but I cried on the sidewalk out of feeling so shocked, embarrassed, and unwanted.
I wish I got the name of the waitress who treated me this way but after everything I just wanted to leave as soon as I could. I’m sure this place is great the majority of the time but you’ve got someone working there with an intense ego problem. As it stands I don’t feel comfortable coming back to a place that I‘ve felt so unwanted in.
TLDR: Don’t ask to use the restroom at this place. You’ll be told that you can and then get harassed until you leave.

Really wanna give the service a SIX OR TEN! Evidently they were short staffed last night. We came in around 630 and we're seated quickly. Beer selection was triumphant, including global, national, regional, and local. Food was limited, but with some excellent choices that we LOVED! That's not the story. THERE WAS ONE WAITRESS! And she ran that joint like a Swiss clock! She had outside tables, inside tables, annoying special requests and questions from us, etc. But she handled it like a CHAMP. So I eased up to the bar to ask the bartender if he could pass along my admiration to the manager. He was the manager, but our waitress was the OWNER! Never got her name, but wow! Go here, eat and drink well, and you will be rewarded!

Bar on Buena is around the corner from my house and I’ve always wanted an easy, go-to spot to call “my neighborhood restaurant.” This is definitely it. Great food, fantastic service, vibes are immaculate. 10/10.

Very very bad service from the waitress to the manager. I just asked if I could have an extra slice of avocado and all I got was a bad attitude from the waitress and then the manager came to my table a little aggressive. To tell me that they just have avocados but they don't offer them that way. And I can understand their policies but the attitude of both of them was just rude and uncomfortable so I don't recommend this disgusting place to anyone.

Place has a nice atmosphere. However, this was easily offset by both the staff and food. Our waiter's demeanor was that of a hoarder who is told they need to get rid of all their belongings. Asking her a simple question was too much for her. The nachos were like one would expect in prison. Fake gooey cheese, pale chicken (like you would feed to a sick dog), with a few jalapenos mixed in there. I was excited to try this place because it has good reviews, but I won't be returning.

Black and blue burger is an ace! Chicken avocado sandwich too! And their tacos are even better than the other two Mexican restaurants I know in this neighborhood!
