Buen Apetito is a great spot for anyone looking for delicious, authentic food in a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The menu offers a lovely variety of dishes, and everything we tried was fresh, flavorful, and well‑prepared. The staff are friendly and attentive, which really adds to the overall experience. Whether you’re stopping by for a quick bite or settling in for a relaxed meal, Buen Apetito definitely delivers on both taste and service. Highly recommend!

★★★★★ 5.0 Natalie King · May 2025

So so thankful to Buen Apetito. I’d previously worked with Buen Apetito some years ago in a professional capacity when they catered for a corporate event, so selecting them for our wedding was an easy decision. My now-husband was immediately bought into them - he loved their generous portions, and fun, interactive catering experience. Our tasting before the wedding was a huge success, and we were kindly given extra portions to take home, which we shared with our family who were excited for the real deal on the wedding day. Buen Apetito thought of everything. We had an at-home DIY wedding on our smallholding, but Buen Appetito made it easy and were entirely self-sufficient. Our wedding coordinator also loved them! They provided beautiful terracotta dishes which looked incredible on the ta

I ordered a basic dish, a chicken burrito grande. I was not even two bites in and I crunched into what I *think* was a bone. The waitress, who was at no fault at all, came over and asked how things were. I explained what had happened. She called the manager (no manager on duty?) and the manager said “remake it or offer 50% off.” I chose the 50% off. But you’d think they’d offer more than 50% off when I didn’t nearly eat 3/4 of it. I won’t be back.

This is my first time writing a review for anything I am 22 years old and my girlfriend (same age) and I tried to order drinks the first waitress almost snapped both our id’s trying to confirm if they were real or not. then they brought backup to check our id’s again the 2nd lady made us confirm our date of birth and street address. Both servers were very rude and condescending (the trainee was nice). It’s a shame because me and the group of 7 I was with were excited to go but as locals we will make sure people steer clear of this place. I will never be going back and will continue to talk down on this place forever. First review ever!

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Melody Teague · Dec 2024

We were sat very quickly and brought chips and salsa right away, which is always my favorite part. Salsa was quite bland… which I’ll get to more about that further down. They have free refills of the chips and salsa which is great. Our server (I believe Samantha, black curly hair) was amazing, very attentive, checked on us a lot throughout the meal, she was probably one of the best servers we’ve had at a restaurant, and we eat out quite a bit. And our food came out within 10 minutes of ordering which was very impressive. I gave three stars because the food was very very bland with very little (maybe none) seasoning at all. If you think mild salsa is spicy you’ll love this place. Otherwise, it really just has no flavor and I wouldn’t recommend it at all if you like normal authentic Mexican
