La Buena Vida - Durham

Absolutely loved our meal here. Tried it tonight with my boyfriends family and honestly the best meal I've had since I moved to Durham a few months ago. Our server was super helpful and very nice and everyone else was so nice, too. I had the steak a la Mexicana and it was delicious. The strawberry margaritas were so good and everything was presented really beautifully. We will definitely be back.

Went for my friend’s birthday and the atmosphere was sooo fun! We also really enjoyed and appreciated our waiter Gabriel! They have really fun and picture worthy drinks and $3 tacos on Tuesdays! Would definitely recommend having your birthday here!

If you are looking for the perfect venue to host a milestone celebration, look no further than La Buena Vida. We recently hosted my wife’s 40th birthday party here with a group of 52, and "impeccable" is the only word that truly does the evening justice. From the very beginning, the planning process was seamless. Alexandra coordinated every detail with such professionalism and grace, ensuring that our vision for the night was perfectly captured. When it came time for the event itself, Gabriel took the reins and executed everything to perfection. His attention to detail and ability to manage the flow of the evening was world-class. The entire event team and staff were attentive, professional, and went above and beyond. Highly, highly suggested!

This place is a VIBE! The food is pretty decent I had sushi and wings and I really enjoyed them! Someone was celebrating a birthday and the had a whole production moment for the birthday lady!!! It was fun and very nice! It was our first time visiting and our first date night as Husband and Wife! Will definitely be visiting again!

When I say I was not expecting what we got. I will start out by saying our server Tony was fantastic. He was patient and offered suggestions as it was our first time here. The food was great and drinks were even better. I had the chicken rolls and a side of rice and black beans. Both my husband and daughter had the barria ( sp) quesadilla with rice. The only complaint for them was it was very cheesy and not enough meat. I had the strawberry margarita with sugar rim and husband had some drink with a corona turned upside down in the drink. But what came next, we were not expecting. They turned off the lights and here comes The Mask ( character). It definitely changed the atmosphere. Just a suggestion for people who choose to bring the family, know that after 8pm,it becomes like a club scene
