La Buena Vida Spanish Restaurant

I should start by saying I don’t write reviews. I have been to La Buena Vida a few times to grab drinks and appetizers with friends. It’s always been a nice experience. My husband and I decided to pop in and have dinner. I have to say… I think the chef sprinkles magic of some kind into his dishes! Everything we had was special. Unique flavors blends, great portions and beautifully presented fresh food. The staff is very accommodating and friendly. Looking forward to our next visit.

LBV never disappoints! From the moment you walk in, the vibe is perfect — warm, stylish, and welcoming. The food is consistently amazing, the drinks are crafted perfectly, and the entire experience feels elevated without being pretentious. I’ve been here multiple times and it’s always a hit. If you haven’t checked out LBV yet, you are definitely missing out. This place deserves a permanent spot in everyone’s restaurant rotation!

I haven’t been there, but I’m from Spain and that’s food looks really bad. The paella looks the worst I have seen in my life.

Everything was fantastic, starting with the greeting from the Hostess we got when we walked in the door. Had to wait 15 minutes for a table so we decided to graba drink from the Bar. John made a perfect old fashion for my better half and a very good vodka martini for myself. We started with the calamari and stuff plantains for appetizers while waiting for our table, the calamari was spot on, Best we had in a long time. The stuffed plantain was very good. I had lamb chops which were seasoned and in my opinion perfect !! My lovely date had salmon with mashed potatoes and vegetables , she loved it. We finished up with flan and some fried cheesecake. We will definitely be back !! Need more restaurants like La buena Vida !!

Stay away!!! You’ll be better off at red lobster, calamari over cooked and like rubber, soda super sweet and flat, string beans some dark brown and some green old and fresh maybe canned, stuffed filet of soul horrible. Poor quality food weird looking and tasting. Will never come back. Worst restaurant in the area and I’ve tried them all trust me. Stay away. Or they need a new chef.

We've done lunch, dinner, our gender reveal and just booked our baby's first birthday party here. I've traveled the world searching for the best Taco Tuesday and little did I know it's been right up the block from me. The shrimp tacos will make you want to quit your job and live there. Our waitress has had us the last 4 times and we bring our baby and we have our own special table now. It's THEEEEE coolest. Tonight I had a beef and cheese stuffed plantain. It was the Pinnacle of my life. I'm a better man having had that. Probably going to be there every Tuesday for the rest of my life.

I had an amazing experience at this restaurant! The service from Angie was exceptional — she was warm, very professional, and made us feel truly welcome. The food was absolutely delicious, and the atmosphere was perfect — cozy, vibrant, and full of good energy. I highly recommend this place and will definitely be coming back!

Recently moved to the neighborhood. We decided to just try this place we've been driving by. Quite frankly, we didn't even know what type of cuisine was served here. What an unexpected surprise! An incredibly friendly staff, great cocktails, and superb entrees! The grilled octopus and paella were perfect! Kudos to the chef, owners, and team!

What an absolutely amazing find. The owner chef also co owned and was the chef at Costa de Espana, he certainly has not lost his touch, simply outstanding. Highly recommended.

We ordered only tapas and they were interesting. The stuffed plantain was not usually found elsewhere. Pile of calamari in the tapas sampler - a little bit too much for us. Chorizo didn't impress at all. Lamb lollipop was more done than what we asked for. For most of our meal there were loud music from next door.

I could have had 10 tacos on their taco Tuesday!

Food was awesome!! Steak was cooked to perfection! Drinks were on point and the staff was amazing! Hidden gem here in moriches!!

La Buena Vida food was amazing! We were a party of three, had appetizers, entrees and desserts. None of the courses disappointed. Our waitress, Anna, was adorable. She was personable and made us feel as if we were dining in her home. She patiently answered all our questions and request. The menu was pricey but worth the cost for a celebratory dinner. They do have a Sangria Sunday special but it is every other weekend. You may want to check which weekend if you want the sangria and save a few dollars. I highly recommend La Buena Vida for that special celebration.
