Went with a friend. Ordered chicken burrito and horchata. I could taste and see the powder in the horchata. The food came out hot but wasn't anything amazing. My friend got birria tacos. They felt they were the wrong color and falling apart too easily.

Genuinely wanted to like this restaurant because the food is great but unfortunately I won’t be returning after repeatedly feeling unwelcome.

Buena Fe is a real hidden treasure that you should check out just for the fantastic dining experience it offers. I must admit that the decor and plating of the food is a bit old-fashioned and could benefit from some updates to draw in more customers.

Nevertheless, the cuisine at Buena Fe is delightful and bursting with rich flavors. Their dishes consistently feature fresh ingredients and genuine spices that whisk you away to Latin America with each mouthful. Our top favourite dish’s are the Salvadoran Pollo a la Plancha and the Sopa de Pollo. Both were generous portions and cooked perfectly. We are excited to come back and try more of the menu.

Got in right at opening but already there was an occupied table.
The decor could use a bit of "freshening up": some dirty spots on the wall, some worn through paint, the carpet needs a good cleaning, you can definitely see the traffic patterns. And the restroom floor was sticky.
The service was quick & accommodating, answering my questions quickly & politely. But by the time I left, an hour later, waited several minutes at the counter to pay the bill.
Even though they serve Salvadoran food (pupusas!) in addition to Mexican standards, I was in an enchilada mood, so, pollo enchiladas with salsa verde.
The chips and salsa tasted fresh but the chips seemed a little over-done.
When my entree arrived - which took close to 30 minutes - I found everything bland. What flavors that were present were good but just hiding in the background. The rice, the beans, the chicken, all weak even after getting hold of the spicier salsa.
Music was nicely in the background, not interfering with conversations.
All that said, I wouldn't not return but it would not be my first choice.
Spent $13.25, tax included.

Vegetarian options: There are a few items that are vegetarian but even the soups have beef ? or chicken ? in them.

Parking: Parking out front of the typical strip center.

Kid-friendliness: Kids love tacos, etc., they'll be fine

Wheelchair accessibility: Huge amounts of room to get around inside but getting there is difficult. No curb cut in front of this bldg. The west end parking space, next to the handicapped spaces for the adjacent bldg, the asphalt rises to curb level but if someone parks there, you're screwed.

This restaurant is a hidden gem. Today I ordered 2 steak tacos, and steak quesadilla with rice and beans. Everything was better than I expected. The steak was seasoned perfectly and tender. Even the rice and beans were delicious and usually don’t eat beans anywhere. If I could give 10 stars, I definitely would. 100% will try again. Thank you for an exceptional meal.

Edited: to add everyone in the office that ordered with me also loved their food. 4/4 people loved it.
