Buena Vida

This place was new to me since I moved away 3 years ago. I love trying new places and exploring South Main. We were looking for something to eat on a Monday and most places are closed in that area. The bar manager (I forgot his name) was absolutely the best!! He created a drink for me, that was not on the menu, that was so tasty and amazing. He was personable and warm and made every customer feel like a regular. The one thing I was missing after moving away was good queso and that is difficult to find even with all of the tex-mex places in FW. I have to say it was delicious and the chips went very well. Not too thick and the right amount of salt. The other dips were also good but the queso stood out. I did not have any tacos, my friends did and said they were very good, but I would be back to have them. The birria tacos on the menu looked delicious. I absolutely recommend this place. It's fast casual but fun with a warm vibe.

The staff here were so amazing! My husband has a tomato allergy and they were so helpful making sure the food we received was safe for him. They changed out the dips on the dip trio to accommodate him. The food was great. We were very impressed and will be back. Order at the counter and bar for your food and drinks. Oh and 3$ margaritas on Tuesdays!

We absolutely loved our experience here! The food, the music, and the atmosphere were all incredible. Eric was super nice and welcoming, he explained the menu and made the experience even better. Everything we tried was delicious, but the birria ramen was definitely my favorite. We’ll definitely be coming back!

We had an amazing experience thanks to Reggie and Eddie! From the moment we sat down, they went above and beyond to make sure we were completely taken care of. They didn’t just take our order—they walked us through the menu and specials, highlighting all the best options and making sure we knew exactly what to expect. Their attention to detail, upbeat attitude, and genuine care made the whole visit feel personalized and memorable. You can tell they take pride in what they do, and it shows. Excellent drinks, great food, and absolutely outstanding service—Reggie and Eddie made sure it was all perfect from start to finish! Highly recommend asking for them when you visit.

Coming in I was greeted by the cashier named OCee who was very helpful at giving me a run down on the popular items on the menu. Which is the Trompo Pastor, that’s what I ordered and my bf ordered 1 aguachiles which had chopped shirmp, jalapeños, Red onions 🧅 chopped cucumber and the chips were decent could have been a lil 🧂 and warmed up but that’s just me. The beer-Rita was GREAT my bf had a second one lol and as I typed this we ordered a churro because the reviews said they’re great. A lil on the sweet side from the filling but goooood. Also the bar guy is awesome 😎 thank you we had a good experience. And the music they played was Latin and amazing!! 🤩 Will be returning soon
