*This review is for take out* My work put me in charge of take out and I chose this place for lunch! My office manager said the staff member who took her order was very pleasant on the phone and helped her sort the orders when she went to go pick them up. I got the quesobirria tacos supreme which came with rice. I opted to not have beans since I wasnt a fan of beans. First bite of the taco and omg. One of the juiciest and flavorful birria tacos I've ever had. The sauce that you dip it in was also amazing. We got big portions for the price paid. My coworkers got a variety of items such as shrimp tacos, chicken fajitas, etc. Everyone was blown away by how good and fresh everything tasted. The reviews lived up to the hype! I would have given this place 5 stars however my gluten intolerant coworker got sick from the shrimp tacos (they must have had gluten in it) so please be careful if you are gluten intolerant. Overall my meal was fantastic and I would go back just to order that dish again! read more

This place is like heaven in your mouth. I'm a 14 year old kid who doesn't really take anything to heart except for when I have these hard shell tacos. Everything is truly amazing and Sylvia is the greatest waiter possibly ever read more

Very good food with super friendly service. For starters, we shared the tortilla soup which was so flavorful and on the mild side, which we like. The broth was fantastic! For the mains, we had the chicken fajitas and an order of veggie tacos. Both were perfectly prepared and delicious. He ambiance was was simple with multiple booths for seating. I'd happily return! read more

Buena Vista Mexican Restaurant - Chicken fajitas - Mexican Near Me - Wayne, Pennsylvania

I had high hopes for this place. We were craving Mexican on our way home and spotted this gem. The service was very kind throughout the entire experience. It was the food that let me down. The guac was sooo good. I could eat that all day. On one plate we said no cheese and the beans had cheese sprinkled so we scooped that off. For some reason I just expected more flavor, even in the salad. It was basic and that does not sound like Mexican food and flavors. The shrimp were covered in something that I thought would be the thing that have the salad a kick but it was not. I also did not like that they used the tiny shrimp and still didn't devein them. It wasn't the greatest food experience. This place wins points for service and guacamole. read more

Buena Vista Mexican Restaurant - Chicken Enchilada - Mexican Near Me - Wayne, Pennsylvania

We love this unassuming little Mexican spot on West Ave in Wayne. Small storefront and probably about ~10 tables inside so not a big place but cute interior with painted tables and nice booth seating. It's byo and they do have marg mix if you want to bring tequila but the food is obviously where this place shines. You get the classic free house made chips and salsa but don't sleep on the guac - sooo good and fresh!! We could eat a whole mixing bowl of it. Their tortilla soup is also bomb, especially on a cooler day. My mouth is watering just thinking about it... For entrees, I always get the pollo al cilantro and its perfection. I want to try other things but just can't help myself! My boyfriend rotates between fajitas and burritos and is always happy but the steak fajitas are probably his fave. Portions are big, prices are reasonable, and service is also solid. The hard working waitress is friendly and attentive and we always feel welcome. Our only complaint? We wish they were open 7 days a week!! (But for their sake are glad they get a much deserved day off...) read more

This charming little restaurant is right next to the Great American Pub. It offers the traditional, Tex-Mex and Mexican fare. What I like most about this restaurant is if you say spicy, they will spice it up. There must've been close to 1000 chili flakes on top of my burrito. The ingredients are fresh, and the proportions are substantial. I ordered my go to shrimp burrito with guacamole, and it did not disappoint. Each order can be customized and you have your choice of black refried beans and any level spice that will make your palate happy. The staff here is kind and attentive and make the entire meal worth your while. read more

I've been daydreaming of this food ever since I went. It's been on my list forever but while the decor is fun it always seems so quiet and I opt for a place a bit more lively. I finally decided to go for it and was so glad I did. My husband and I picked up a bottle of tequila nearby and ordered a pitcher of their margarita mix - not the best but I really didn't have any expectations there. We ordered chips and salsa to start and wow was that good! The salsa is chunky but saucey at the same time. It set the right tone for the meal because if a Mexican place has bad chips and salsa they are an automatic no thanks in my book! We then split the chicken mole enchiladas and the tortilla soup. The soup totally stole the show! I haven't had tortilla soup quite like it before - it had an amazing broth, chunks of fresh avocado, and the flavor was just the best. The enchiladas were really good - even the side of rice and beans hit the spot. This is a MUST go for anyone who loves Mexican food. They are hard to come by. They seem to do a lot of to go orders too - I will be trying that soon. read more

New prices in effect without notice! This one posted online totally wrong. Was charged 12.95 for salad and 3.50 for chicken. Realize inflation has hit us all- but 17.44 for one taco salad is ridiculous! It's been a decent place- nothing amazing... now I'll be checking out other establishments in the area. read more

As a Texan visiting the area I can vouch that the food here at Buena Vista is legit. Seriously, the best veggie quesadilla ever anywhere. And, one if the top chili relleno's ever.

Excellent Mexican food Thats freshly made. Standard combo platters along with chef specials. Must have is their crab soup-yes crab soup. Been there twice. First was relleno and chicken enchilada combo, second was Barbacoa fajitas. Others ordered fish tacos, flautas, enchiladas with mole sauce. All were tasty. BYO and if you bring tequila, you can spike their free Margarita mix. Will be back for round three read more

Buena Vista was a bit smaller than I expected, and not as fancy as I thought it would being in the heart of Wayne, but places like that are really more my cup of tea, so it suited me just fine. My carnitas and chorizo tacos were perfect, as were the rice and refried beans. The chips and salsa were good too, though I felt the salsa could use more flavor. The girl at the counter and the guy that brought our food out to us (takeout) were both nice. Definitely plan on going again sometime! read more

Yummy! I am so happy there is a decent Mexican restaurant walking distance from my house. It was definitely lacking in this neighborhood for some fine burritos and enchiladas, and this place luckily delivers the goods. Chips and salsa are a la carte and the chips are extra thick and crispy. I have had both the vegetable enchiladas and the shrimp tacos. I recommend either of these options. But the only choice for sauce in my book is the mole. They do have other choices but why not get the mole?! That's my favorite part of the whole dish! As you can see in the Q&A section of the yelp page they do offer a free margarita with a purchase of a meal. Not the best margarita I have ever had, but it's free and I'm walking home so I'll take it. Prices are reasonable and the ambiance is amazing with color! read more

This Place is Awesome I recently started a new job in the area and this became my favorite Mexican restaurant. I had the shrimp tacos with rice and beans. I don't have much to add to what others have said. Good service, good food, and maybe one of the better Mexican places I've been...which is saying a lot because Mexican might be my favorite type of cuisine! read more

We were very happy with our order. I had the chimichanga which was enormous! I got it with the barbacoa beef. It was tender and delicious. My wife had the carnitas tacos. This were very good as well. The food was reasonably priced and it was ready to go quickly. If we get that way again we will definitely stop in. read more

I'm from Texas so my bar for Tex mex/Mexican cuisine is pretty high. This place satisfied my cravings and the portions were well-sized. We ordered pick up and put food was ready on time and hot. We didn't have to reheat it when we get home. A little too much rice in the dishes, but the flavors were great. I would come again! read more

DELICIOUS!!! As a hungry college kid with lots of cravings, finding this place was the highlight of my week. The service was incredible and the waiters were so welcoming.

The service was hardly service.The chips were not fresh,the guacamole is good but overpriced @ $12.00! The vhimmichungas(chicken) were a whole looks rice with a smattering of chicken stuffed inside a less than crisp pastry of some sort..Not good at all. The fajita were tasty could have included a couple more tortillas (3).the enchiladas were probably the most well liked. Had heard good things but ....not impressed at all.maybe an off day but not sure if give a second chance there are many other and better options around. read more

Delicious food and a great atmosphere. Buena Vista is where you go for authentic, flavorful Mexican dishes and a friendly staff which will make sure you have a great experience. My sister and I went and loved the Al Pastor tacos and Taco Salad. The meat was well seasoned, along with very good salsas and guacamole. I also tend to be picky with my chips, so I was happy to see good, crunchy tortilla chips that weren't too greasy or plain. The inside of the restaurant is decorated with colorful paintings and figurines to match the vibrant furniture and walls. Although small, Buena Vista will promise to give you an authentic experience in a very comforting environment. And, for those who speak Spanish, I was also happy to see waiters and cooks who spoke Spanish, making the restaurant accessible and welcoming to many read more

Food is decent like all other Buena Vista's in the area, but the customer service here is significantly lacking. The lady in the front of the house doesn't understand customer service. We go there once a week and today i mentioned to her that she forgot to give me salsa last time I did take out. It turned into a 5 minute argument from her side on how she absolutely did put salsa in, how the food gets packaged, the organization in the kitchen etc. She's a junior person, robotic in her "rules" and lacking the very basics of customer service know-how. The salsa on the side costs $1. It wasn't going to break the restaurant to acknowledge that they did forget it last time. All I was looking for was a "sorry we missed it". They lost a loyal customer. read more

Mixed review. I got the tinga (pulled chicken) tacos which were DELISH!!! I also got the tinga burrito and it was like 90% rice!! Noooo. Whyyyyy?? Also got a side of guacamole and pico which were both great but VERY small sizes so overpriced for the small size. I'd like to go back and try other things. Please put less rice and I bet it'll be top notch! I got delivery thru DoorDash so can't comment on service or interior. read more

This place is overrated, and we were wronged by this restaurant. We ordered from Caviar, and they decided that because they ran out of the flan that they ordered, they would replace it with dulce de leche instead without asking us. I am gluten sensitive and don't eat cake. It was wrong for them to replace the item and still charge us without asking. Aside from this, the food is just ok. We ordered the shrimp quesadilla that was mediocre, barbacoa nachos that were soggy, chicken poblano enchiladas that were soggy, and of course the flan that we never got. Mexican restaurants in Norristown are way tastier and their prices are better, and they are honest with their customers. read more

My wife and I have been going to El Limon for some time and we love the place. When Buena Vista opened down the street we decided to give it a try. Well, we were so happy we did! We both ordered the cheese enchilada lunch special and were really happy because the enchiladas were perfectly cooked and the ricr and beans complimented them perfectly. The only thing we will do next time we go is to order from the regular menu because we could have had a larger portion. The desserts were equally great. My wife had the Tres Leches and I had the Churros with chocolate and ice cream. Blown away!! We went after lunch and found seating right away. The server was quick to seat us and he was inviting and well mannered. We will return!!! read more

Best guac I've had in the Radnor area hands down. Reasonable prices for the area. Philly quality in the outer burbs.

My mother and I stopped in during quite the busy day. It was the Wayne Music Festival and every restaurant was packed. We wanted to sit outside and we were happily accommodated. Our chicken quesadilla was so delicious, packed with big juicy pieces of chicken. When we were finished we didn't want to linger too long at the table so that they could get more customers but they made sure to let us know we were absolutely welcome to hang out at our table as long as we wanted. Everyone we talked to in their restaurant was so friendly. It had such wholesome family vibe. We were so happy we chose their spot. It was the perfect dinner. read more

SO SO delicious!! What a gem to have so close to our house!. I love that this is within walking distance. They do a lot of take out business. We got their menu in the mail and it said dine in and get a free margarita, it was on the rock, original style (my favorite) and had tequila in it! Pitchers are only $6 and we'll be doing that next time definitely. It's BYOB, so the pitcher does not contain alcohol because they can't sell alcohol. I go the burrito with mole. The mole is heavenly. I hear they make it right there! The burrito was bigger than my face and it had plenty of cheese, but not like Chi-Chi's where everything was layered in cheese. These tastes were perfectly tuned. The restaurant has such wonderful bright colors; it's so cheerful! I can't wait to go back. Highly recommend Buena Vista. (Even the "not-recommended" Yelp reviews love this restaurant!!) read more

Real Mexican food in the heart of the main line. Although not visible from route 30(Lancaster ave) this gem is mere steps from work for me and a great spot for fast service and quality food. Since it's opening my staff and I have already visited 5 times! The taco salad is piled high with crisp lettuce, tomatoes, onions, refried beans, corn, guacamole (no extra charge!) sour cream and salsa. The edible shell is always crunchy even when ordered to go and not at all greasy. The shell is a great tool when broken off into pieces to turn your salad into nachos and is large enough to share. The enchiladas lunch entree plat was also a large portion. 2homemade enchiladas stuffed with your choice of meat and or veggies and smothered in the sauce of your choice ( we went with mole) which was an excellent pick! Rice beans and a small "salad" made this another great plate to share or perfect for leftovers. The space is colorful and brightly decorated. We are looking forward to going for HH and byo tequila for $5 pitchers of margaritas! read more

A real nice dinner tonight in Wayne. We had Taco's Al Pastor and a chicken burrito. Good service and excellent value. I tried some of the mole sauce. Will have a burrito with mole sauce next time.

Good authentic Mexican but a small space. I was here for a quick taco dinner after completing some business in Wayne. The place was packed but they were able to clear a table for me quickly. The decor is very colorful with a Mexican theme. I got the 3 taco platter with a savory smokey barbacoa, a sweet and surprisingly crispy el pastor, and a great chorizo my favorite. Served with rice and beans and washed down with the housemade aqua fresca. The housemade hot sauce was also really good. read more
