The average evaluation for Buena Vida Cantina is 4.4, which means that the guests have a very high opinion of this place.

What Zach Reau likes about Buena Vida Cantina:
The bartender told me they put a lot of love in their food and it really shows. Tacos are pricey but big (2 is enough). Drinks are strong. HH deals are solid. El Jefe is surprisingly great for being a play on a boring taco. Guac is just fine, not much flavor I’d prioritize the tacos. View all feedback.

Environment was great but some of the salsas tasted fermented as if they were past their best by date. The service was not the best being that we had to flag do...

The cocktails are delicious, and definitely make sure you get the birria. The plantains plate was huge, a great deal! The salsa trio and guacamole were delish w...

"I visited here on my trip to the bay area and this is probably my favorite boba place ever ??? they have rly nice flavor options and the boba was so good my eyes popped out of my garage and i wanted to drive back and rob them so i can eat their boba again oh boy do i want to kiss the person who made this cafe baby so yummy perfectly textured boba its firm but soft yet not mushy and nice and chewy ?? the boba pairs nicely with any of their drink variation and the flavor of their drinks so perfectly crafted so good ? ??"

"I've been here twice now and both times have been a great experience. On my first visit I tried the Dole pineapple freeze with coconut milk. It was super refreshing and the perfect consistency. I also enjoyed the bits of real pineapple. Perfect for a nice sunny day! For my second visit, shoutout to Christine for being super friendly and helpful in crafting my drink. I had been eyeing the Real taro smoothie but wanted to add Oreos blended in (I've had something similar at another cafe and loved it). I noticed Christine was sampling the drink as she was making it to ensure it tasted good which I thought was really going above and beyond so I appreciated that! And it was SO DELICIOUS! Exactly what I wanted. TJ Cups will definitely be my new fav spot, not only for the tasty drinks but also the amazing customer service! I look forward to trying some of their other drinks as well!"
