What Ortwin Straub doesn't like about Buena vida:
here I have to give the previous reviews right. in the last months this restaurant has deteriorated. I've recommended it another 1 - 2 years ago, but now I'm withdrawing it and warning you to go to eat here. the waiting times are extremely long (60 - 90 ) minutes. the service employees are constantly running past full tables without removing anything. everything will be transferred so you can't eat together. you noti...

As good as the German food is in Essen, it was nice for a little variety. We went into Buena ida early on a Friday night without reservations. They were able to accommodate us but gave us a time limit as someone else with reservations would be along. The menu is very big and offers a good selection of traditional Tapas. The menu lists everything in Spanish with German sub titles. Since Tapas are one of our favorite foods, we were able to order just using the Spanish. They did offer an English menu but we declined. We were surprised that they didn't offer Sangria but they did have a tasty substitution that was very refreshing and tasty, Food was good but not exceptional, Servers were very busy, not sure f they were short staffed or if that was the normal compliment of wait staff. although our server was pleasant, we did not see him very often. Our food was delivered by the hostess, she was doing this for most tables. As the night went on the place only got busier and noisier. If you go I suggest you go early unless you like loud crowds.
Tapas are such a thing. it is in the end snacks, and so you can expect less culinary high flights than a nice evening with tasty little things in an appropriate price-performance ratio. Some of the tapas are better than you get them often, so the meaty-fresh boquerones fritos, others might be a little less convincing, like the huh in the sauce. everything in all, you can really feel comfortable here. the service may not have visited five years restaurant school, but is attentive and mostly friendly. I would like to give a "very good" anyway. It would then have to be more convincing in the quality of the individual tapas. for a nice evening, the buena vida is definitely recommended. tipp: the card offers a quite large selection of open weeps!
The service was very friendly and accommodating. the food came quickly, although the restaurant was well visited, and was very tasty – unfortunately, have already caught quite bad "tapas restaurants". all in one it was a very beautiful evening. come back!
Very varied map, here everyone really finds something! the food tastes great, courteous, friendly service, good service! at any time!
An all-round successful evening! excellent eating, nice atmosphere and a friendly service. there is a large selection of various tapas, whether sweet, cheese, fish or meat.We can recommend this locally with good certain.
