We drove from charlotte Nc to check this place out!!!! “ La Buena Vida” did not disappoint. I love the energy they bring. Andreiby was great on the conga/drum!!! And Carla at the bar had the drinks on point!!!! Hopefully we can get one in Charlotte.

12/10 experience. It was storming out and the weather was terrible but this experience was awesome. First time there and the food and drinks were great. The kids food also tasted amazing my kids loved it. The mariachi band was awesome the kids were dancing and in awe. Server was attentive and came back often to make sure we had everything we need. Will definitely come back for parents night out. Kid-friendliness: Came with young kids and they loved it

La Buena Vida has a vibrant ambiance and amazing food. I visited on a Sunday because I was craving tacos and I’m glad I chose this place. I had the Ribeye tacos and my friend had the Smokey asada tacos. Both were so flavorful and tasty!! The chips and salsa were also fresh and delicious. Our server was great and attentive, overall I had no complaints about the dining experience. I will warn you it can get loud due to the live entertainment and party vibe they are intentional about creating, but it is a nice switch up from a traditional Mexican restaurant.
