“Awesome place, great party rooms!! Great food!! Friendly staff“

“Muy Buenos elotes recomendados“

“I don’t know what would have happened if I haven’t order the Shrimp Cocktail (Medium). Just eating it without putting anything on it, had a sweet taste to it, and don’t know if I’ll ever come back to it. But I now have a favorite food there.🤤“

“The service was great and the food fantastic! Our servers was super nice and immediately brought some pico de gallo and chips. I had tacos (lengua, carne asada, and chile relleno). They were some of the best tacos I've had. The rest of the family said the chimichanga and burrito suizo were just as good! Highly recommend.“

“My brother and I stopped by earlier in the day and had an amazing experience! I had seen the restaurant on TikTok and we were able to go there today, I ordered the fajitas and he ordered three tacos and a gordita. We also ordered horchata

The horchata was honestly so good, smooth and creamy as well as refreshing, one of the best I’ve had at a restaurant!

My fajitas were absolutely fantastic, I ordered combination of steak and chicken and it was the best ever. The steak was juicy and tender and the chicken was so flavorful. Usually I don’t enjoy green peppers too much but you guys made them so yummy and the whole dish was flavorful

My brother chowed down on his Gordita and got full as he didn’t know it was going to be as big and full as it was and he was not disappointed. He said the tacos were also very good and will definitely be ordering both again!

The service was also great, the young women who I had seen on TikTok and the reason to stop by was so sweet to us and very kind. We will definitely be retuning :)“

“It's hard to find Mexican restaurants to get absolutely everything right, this is the one. Rice and beans were great, Pollo a la Mexicana was the perfect amount of taste and spiciness. The cheese stretches multiple feet into the air like it was real fresh cheese melted to perfection. I can't recommend this place enough. The building is very cute and the staff is super nice.“

“A hidden Gem in lake in the hills!!!! I’m lucky enough to live a few blocks away! Me and my family are here for dine in or carry out at least once or twice a week! This is a family owned business that I support 100% and they treat me like family! My personal favorites are the chicken enchiladas and steak burritos! They also make amazing tamales when it’s that time of year! I usually buy a couple dozen around Christmas. I highly suggest giving them a try, if you haven’t already!“

“Simple little Mexican restaurant. Small dining room, small menu and great food.“

“The customer service is always on point. I never had a bad experience I've been coming here for years a little pricey but worth it. The horchata could be better it's always watered down not a fan of their rice either. The meat is always fresh and trimmed I never get pieces of fat. The taco salad is phenomenal.“

“TRY THE TACO SALAD!! It's a beatific crispy shell that's filled with fresh lettuce then ripped with your choice of meat accompanied with fresh guacamole, sour cream and tomatoes. It's a must try! The owner greets you with a genuine smile! They have done a nice re model over the years I've been coming. I'm going to be back very soon .“

Watermelon margarita was the best one in the flight we had. The Tequilla Old Fashion was fantastic! Definitely made new friends and will be back often“

“This place looks amazing, colorful and beautifully decorated, definitely worth taking pictures. The food was also fantastic, everyone raved about it.

If you're looking for a little slice of Mexico right here, La Mexicana Buena Vista is the place to be! 🌮✨

From the moment you step in, the warm and inviting atmosphere makes you feel like you’re home. We ordered a feast fit for champions: starting with the taco dinner featuring mouthwatering steak cabeza and al pastor that danced in our mouths with every bite—simply divine! Each taco was packed with flavor, and the toppings were fresh, making our taste buds sing! 🎶

Next up was the steak a la mexicana dinner, which came generously served with rice, beans, and a refreshing salad. The steak was cooked to perfection, bursting with flavor and paired perfectly with silky avocado slices. It's like a fiesta on a plate!

Oh, and let’s not forget the steak torta! This beauty was a gooey, delicious masterpiece served with rice and beans that felt like a warm hug on a plate. And the agua fresca? The horchata was a creamy treat that perfectly quenched our thirst alongside the tartness of the Jamaica.

The service here deserves a shoutout as well! The cooks were as polite as they were skilled, and the staff taking our orders were genuinely friendly. It’s clear they love what they do, which indeed adds to the whole experience.

In short, La Mexicana Buena Vista is more than just a restaurant; it's a delightful culinary adventure. Whether you're a taco aficionado or a first-timer, this place will leave you craving more. Highly recommend for anyone looking to satisfy their Mexican food cravings with heartwarming service! 🌮❤️
