La Mexicana Buena Vista

Use to be a very clean and family oriented restaurant. Been there few times recently and service is very bad compared to before, quality of the food went down drastically. Their price is skyrocketed. For example they’re charging $2.59 for a bottle of Sam’s club water actual cost of the water is 0.07 cents. A profit margin of 3137% markup. So you could imagine what they’re charging for other items.

The food was tasty, but just a heads-up—it’s self-service. You order at the counter, which is fine, but it took FOREVER to get our food and FOREVER to pay. There were only three other tables with patrons, yet the service was painfully slow.

Legit! Pastor is amazing! Son had Carne Asada which was great as well.

They make actual Mexican food, and it is very good. We did have to park in the back, and it is very small and seems unsafe, but we were fine. The food was great!

The food was excellent full of flavor, and everything tasted fresh, nothing tasted dry or hard to chew. It reminded me of some of the hidden gems in Little Village.

The tostadas and burritos are the best I've ever had.

Delicious 🤤

Best food. Take all my money.

I have never given a one star review. If I don’t like something, I just don’t say it. But this was ridiculous. I ordered three tacos à la cart with Carne Asada, sour cream, onions, and cilantro. I ordered a side of guacamole and chips. They told me it was 38.95. And she couldn’t tell me why. I just walked out.

Great food.

Absolutely love their marinated pork Al pastor. The atmosphere is very friendly and ma'am and pap place like.
It is not the cheapest place but it is totally worth it because they have the biggest tortas and portions I ever had.
My torta was basically double sized and huge. Thanks guys, keep it up!

Updated review. Place used to be fire. Now, not so much. Last few times I've gone, food was average at best. What happened? I didn't even finish my meal. Burrito was meh. Torta was kind of gross. And they've gotten expensive there also while dropping quality.

Team,
Food was good when we bought it, but way too pricey. All have inputs on it and that’s ok….but I’ll take my “OWN” business somewhere else that has way better pricing. Wish the store luck and hope they can somehow revamp pricing on its end.
