Solid Mexican food in an elevated atmosphere. We almost missed it if I hadn’t looked up. It’s on the second floor (street level is the other restaurant green pig bistro). You’ll enter thru Green Pig Bistro but head upstairs for Buena Vida Gastrolounge.
We had reservations but it wasn’t busy in a windy, chilly Sunday night.
My boyfriend & I wanted Mexican food. We’re so happy this place lived up to our Southern California expectations. The chips & salsa were handmade & delicious. I ordered the birria tacos & my boyfriend got the enchiladas. Portion sizes were generous.
This will be my go to for quality Mexican food, something I’ve had difficulty finding since moving from SoCal.
Our server, Cristina, was friendly & the interior is lovely.

This is a great restaurant. The view is beautiful, the people were kind and thoughtful. We were celebrating a birthday, we brought in a cake, we had 10 people, they helped us take pictures. Beautiful atmosphere and just serene in the restaurant not to mention the space on the rooftop area is spectacular! I, do not like onions, and we had a little miscommunication about what was or it wasn’t in the food. Therefore, I did not enjoy myself from that perspective as much as I might have liked to. Other than that, they were gracious, welcoming, and hopefully we will use this location for a very festive event later on this year.

The entrance was a bit confusing — you actually have to walk into the Green Pig Bistro to find the steps. It would be helpful if they added some signs or banners to make it easier for customers to locate the entrance.
The place has a nice view and a good vibe. The food was okay — not bad, but nothing particularly special. We ordered the shrimp tacos (very crunchy but barely tasted any shrimp) and burritos (just average). The regular mojito was fine, and the watermelon lemonade was good. Staff were okay, and overall, it’s worth visiting mainly for the atmosphere and the view through the window.

The service was great!! However …. We did find a cockroach leg in our food… it was handled very well by staff. This happened at the beginning of our meal. They compensated the one meal this happened to and in the moment we were all in shock and unfortunately none of us ate after that. Saying this, we had to go somewhere else to eat after paying over $300 for the group we were with. After our initial shock I personally called the restaurant the next day and asked for all of the brunch food price to be taken off because nobody ate more than 2 dishes within the first 15 minutes of being there. We obviously offered to pay the tip and for the drinks since our waitress was great. We called multiple times to give information on receiving a refund due to this. Multiple members of the group called. We were told we would be called back and that never happened. We never received our money back after not eating when we found the cockroach leg in our food. Though everyone at the restaurant was very kind, I am incredibly disappointed in the lack of communication after this incident. I am also incredibly disappointed in this as each member spent over $70-$80 to enjoy a nice brunch which unfortunately was disturbed by this cockroach leg.

Service: Being a Saturday night, there was a bit of confusion with the reservation, I believe the host accidentally gave our table to another party and so we were squeezed into the middle of the restaurant. However, when we were clearly a bit agitated we were given a few free appetizers to share amongst the table which was a nice compensation. I gave three stars to our server who started our evening very demanding, “I’m going to do drinks. appetizers. then entrees.” We told him that we were ready to order our entrees and he refused and said he would come back in a couple of minutes. I understand the pressures of a busy Saturday night but it was an awkward exchange. He was then very confused about splitting the checks, though I did not think my group was very confusing. Once the place began clearing out he was more helpful and conversational. The manager was very nice and checked on us a few times.
Food: The food was very flavorful and the portions were large.
Atmosphere: Everything was very aesthetically pleasing, though I do agree with the previous reviews that the entrance is hard to find.

Great food and an amazing time on Valentine’s Day! I brought my friend for dinner, and even though it was a busy evening, the team did their best to accommodate us. The service was excellent, the food was delicious, and the ambiance was absolutely wonderful. We truly enjoyed our experience!

This place was okay. Server was pushy for bottomless tacos. Misunderstanding on happy hour downstairs when they sent us upstairs. Empty but nice place. Draft beer was warm. Minimal air conditioning. Had a machine to add more but was still warm.

I went here with my husband and cousin. We had a decent time. Everyone was nice. The food was was decent. The raspberry margarita pitcher was phenomenal. I think they could add a DJ to spice it up on a Saturday.

I had a wonderful experience at the buena Vida . thanks to mohcine . He was incredibly friendly, attentive, and professional throughout the entire meal. From the moment we sat down, he made us feel welcome and made sure we had everything we needed. He give us a great recommendation that turns delicious.
His positive attitude and excellent service really made our dining experience special. I truly appreciate the care and effort mohcine put into making sure everything was perfect. I would definitely come back and hope to be served by mohcine again!

When we walked upstairs, there wasn’t really a host area to greet in order to inform us of our reservation. We stood around the bar for maybe 5 mins before we got a chance to be greeted and seated, so the time wasn’t bad it was just where to wait and stand that was confusing.
Great reviews for food taste, ambience, service check-ins with us.
Group of four went in for AYCE brunch- ordered: the shrimp tacos, steak and cheese tapas, chicken milanesas, chicken and waffles, berry and waffles, 1 salmon tapa, 1 huevo ranchero, and some other egg based options. They were out of the Pork belly tacos by 12:30pm which was sadly surprising.
Good reviews for service – we had maybe 3-4 different people taking our order so it would get confusing what tapa orders were placed beforehand. We started with one menu item individually and the food are small tapas, some are bite sized, and the food took a while to get to the table. The 4 of us decided after the first round of single different tapas, to order 4 of each food item that we all agreed on. When we ordered 1 order of salmon tapas it was bite sized for one person, so we requested 4 instead because the time it took to do one was pretty slow. Drinks were great we definitely got second and third rounds. Latin Music was energetic (I wanted to dance at some points), it was hard to hear some servers due to the volume at one point. Overall it was delicious and staff was very friendly, very beautiful restaurant. I would come back again now that I know what to expect with the first round of food.
