Delish food - n of 3 times been so far and every time has been on point. Prices are definitely respectable (except $4 for extra pico) and the servers have always treated us nicely. Definitely recommend for Cantina food in the middle of Philly.

We had a really good dinner here. The guacamole is a total must and the burritos are also super great.

Buena Vista offers delicious traditional food in a decorative and fun environment! Our food came quickly and they had a top notch margarita with lots of options. Definitely a local business vibe and located in a family-friendly neighborhood. Portions were large and the staff were friendly! Would definitely recommend for a delicious casual meal and drinks in Philly.

Really just an all-around solid spot to eat Mexican food. The only area of improvement might be that their chairs place your back at a perfectly right angle - but I guess good ergonomics rarely feels good so maybe this is another of their benefits.

I have to admit the margaritas are pretty good however be forewarn that if you are getting margaritas during happy hour you are getting Jose Cuervo. If you drink tequila you want a tequila that is 100% blue agave: Jose Cuervo is not. On the spectrum of tequila products, available today, Jose Cuervo is very low on the totem pole. Therefore, if you like better tequila be prepared to pay more for your drink during happy hour. Also you get 1.5 oz of tequila per drink. The restaurant uses homemade lime juice so this is good. You are not getting some sugary drink mix for your margarita. The happy hour food menu is SUPER limited. Just an fyi. The tacos only consist of chicken and ground beef. These tacos are only adorned with onion and cilantro, so if you like cheese and lettuce and sour cream don't expect it at happy hour prices. The tacos were very good. I have not tried other foods on the menu so the happy hour tacos are all I can speak to and only the chicken tacos. There is an other restaurant on 9th & Washington with a more extensive happy hour menu and their margaritas during happy hour offers a 2 oz of tequila and they don't even have Jose Cuervo in the house. Plus you get FREE chips (real corn chips) some refried beans on top and two hot sauces, rojo & verde, to dip into.

Giving them 5 stars for the awesome Margheritas and especially for Oscar, our bartender and host. Who gave us a tutorial on tequilas and suggested Corralejo tequila. We'll he back to try the food. Cool spot. Great tequila menu

Nachos grande was really very good! Pacifico on draft was solid too. Would return for good Mexican food.

Mojito is a must with their homemade mint-infused syrup (also can be made spirit-free). Emmanuel is a boss mixologist. Nachos had a great ratio of toppings and homemade chips were delicious. Several tvs where you can watch the game.

The beer is cold, margaritas tastey, and the steak nachos are legit.
