Buena Vida Cantina - San Francisco

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.

Hoooooly Smokes! What amazing tacos. We ordered the Birria, the al pastor, the carnitas, the campechano, shrimp tacos, the president margaritas, and I can't find not one bad thing to say about them. These are fantastic tacos!! I've had tacos in Mexico, Miami, Texas, and Arizona but these folks do it right. Please don't go so I can come back and I can eat some more.

The friendly atmosphere, delicious food and cocktails, and variety of Hispanic dishes was so appreciated.I highly recommend the fresh ground guacamole for appetizer. The shrimp machete was exquisite. Margaritas bomb. Check this Cantina out for a great experience.

The cocktails at this restaurant are fantastic, and be sure to try the birria. The plantains dish was very generous and a good value. The salsa trio and guacamole were delicious with just the right amount of salt. And don't forget to order the yucca fries if you still have room! Wheelchair accessibility: This restaurant is accessible for wheelchairs.

I can't understand why this restaurant isn't the most popular in San Francisco. The Quatro Fantastico taco, with chorizo, cochinita, carnitas, pastor habañero slaw, and salsa verde on a stuffed corn tortilla, is truly a masterpiece! The shrimp taco was the best I've ever tasted. The esquites (corn dish) and plantains were cooked perfectly. The watermelon salad was simple and refreshing. The churros were my new guilty pleasure. The skilled mixologist created an exquisite cocktail. Our server, Fabrizio, was attentive, enthusiastic, and gave great recommendations. This top-tier establishment deserves your support and is great for groups. They easily accommodated a gluten-free friend.
