Buena Vida Social Club - Arlington

I visited for Saturday brunch, and while it was a bit noisy, the food was absolutely incredible!

The quality of the food was disappointing. I was really looking forward to the four-course meal deal for $45, but it quickly became clear that everything was prepackaged. In the “crispy cheese tacos,” the cheese wasn’t even inside; instead, there were lukewarm pieces of cheese. This issue was consistent with all the other courses as well.

The rooftop bar area is fantastic, and the staff is incredibly accommodating. The tacos were all excellent, and happy hour goes until 7:00.

Really enjoyed Buena Vida during Happy Hour. Being able to order from both menus allowed us the try several dishes and drinks without breaking the bank. The staff was very attentive and service was quick. Buena Vida is a nice neighborhood gem with indoor/outdoor seating and good food and drinks.

Great food. Lively atmosphere. Would definitely recommend and will be going back!
