Cards and tap-to-pay are accepted almost everywhere, a tip of 15-20% is customary for table service, and sales tax is added at the register.

Was passing through San Francisco and stopped in for dinner. The shrimp quesadilla was absolutely delicious. So much cheese and sooo much shrimp! Had a nonalcoholic corona which was tasty as well. They gave me a piece of cheesecake on the house as it was just a little slice. Was very sweet. The bartender was very sweet and friendly as well. Definitely would come back!

The service was prompt and fantastic. Excellent food. I recommend the enchilladas and tacos. I tried carne asada, al pastor, and carnival. All were great but the carnitas were wildly good. Also the mezcal Margarita is perfectly balanced.

Found this cozy place while visiting SF for a show. The food was great. I ordered the quesabirria and it hit the spot. The salsas were tasty and cocktails were good. Service was efficient.

Wow! This place has been home to so many restaurants we've enjoyed over the years, and Buena Vida is no exception! We loved the chicken enchiladas, and the tortilla chips with salsa were delicious. The space is cool and comfortable, and our waitress, Grace, was lovely, attentive, and a lot of fun. Go!

Jesus was amazing! From start to finish, he made my lunch experience memorable and I would definitely recommend this spot. I Really enjoyed their nachos, elote, and most of all their tequila sunrise !
