The food was spectacular and the service was even better- friendly staff & quick turnaround time. Our burritos were one of the best we’ve had in the city. The restaurant itself is a cozy and welcoming atmosphere. Would recommend to anyone- 10/10!!!

“I do enjoy eating here and I stop by at least once a week, sometimes twice a week.”

I do enjoy eating here and I stop by at least once a week, sometimes twice a week. I have not had everything on the menu but what I've had so far I really like.

“My sister and I decided to try this place out for lunch and it was spectacular.”

My sister and I decided to try this place out for lunch and it was spectacular! The food was super delicious, and the staff were very nice about my baby being a little loud. I would recommend coming here, as soon as you walk in, it smells amazing! My daughter ate everything on her plate, and we both loved it.

“The flavors are great.”

The flavors are great. I got the enchiladas suizas. It came with tomato sauce and sour cream on top. It was filled with ground beef, potatoes, carrots and peas. It came with 3 enchiladas and beans and rice. They have Coke products. Cans only. I also got a pork tamale. It was delicious. They give you free chips and two salsas. A red and green salsa. The staff were friendly and quick. Also the restaurant was very clean. I will definitely be back. The restaurant is pretty small but your food comes out quick. No waiting when I went during lunch .

“I've had both takeout and dine in experiences here at Buena Vista, and in either case, the place exudes a homey warmth.”

I've had both takeout and dine in experiences here at Buena Vista, and in either case, the place exudes a homey warmth. It's as if your neighbors are sharing food from their own kitchens. The service is always prompt and friendly. The food is great, straightforward, and tastes fresh. This is not fancy food, this is good food done right.

“Good place for mexican food in a lovely neighbour.”

Good place for mexican food in a lovely neighbour. Service was great, I ordered Chilaquiles and instead of the egg I changed for shred chicken.

“I have been to a lot of Mexican restaurants and it’s hard to find one that makes the food just right.”

I have been to a lot of Mexican restaurants and it’s hard to find one that makes the food just right! The fried beans were one of the best in the city and the flautas were cooked perfectly. The place is small but cozy and the service was excellent. If I am in the area this is my spot of MX food.

“This place screams home and a warm meal.”

This place screams home and a warm meal. Got the enchiladas mix with green, mole and tomato sauces (green’s always my favorite) with a hearty serving of rice and beans. Not sure if this is family run but my server was the sweetest kindest lady. This is a place I would go to on a gloomy rainy day for some warm fuzzy food.

“I almost don’t want too many people to know how great this authentic and wonderful Mexican restaurant is.”

I almost don’t want too many people to know how great this authentic and wonderful Mexican restaurant is. Lots of options. Wonderful service. Try any of the tacos, Chile rellenos, tamales, and of course the guacamole. The food comes out really fast so if you aren’t in a rush you might want to get some appetisers and order your food later.
