    Bomb menudo
    Adan J.

    Dope Mexican food spot. Excellent food, (good quality and taste) the service is super great here too. The menu has a lot of choices. ...The menudo, caldos , sopes and gorditas are top notch. There's a lil bar at the back. Plenty searing. (Botha and tables) I def recommend this place.

    Wonderful little Mexican spot in the Forest Hill/Everman area. We popped in for lunch during off hours. The service was great as was their attention to detail. Chips come with red and green sauces as well as some refried beans for dipping. The menu is extensive and has breakfast items as well as standards (enchiladas, flautas) , soups and specialty items (grilled and mole type dishes). Everything was freshly prepared and flavorful. I got a skirt steak w cheese enchiladas and enjoyed everything in my plate.

    Hidden gem! I can't believe this place has been here almost 3 years and I'm just now finding out about it. The restaurant is decorated so cute and there were fresh flowers on every table. Everything looked brand new. They have a small bar in the back. But it's all about the food. They have a huge menu including fajitas and a molcajete which I'll have to try next time cause they're a favorite of mine. But tonight I opted for a ceviche tostada which was loaded with citrusy fish and avocado and huaraches with pork. Both were so flavorful and fresh. And the owners were so friendly. Can't wait to come back!

    Food was excellent and servers very attentive. We arrived at lunch time to a packed restaurant which indicated how good it would be. We will definitely go back.

    Food was so good I have no complaints the place was clean and the service was good this place really deserves to be recognized

    Chips & salsa

    Very cute & clean restaurant! The service was great as was the food. Will definitely come again when in the area!

    Fantastic service and food. The house special, Chiles en Nogada, was absolutely fantastic. As far as adult beverages, they only apparently serve beer, but the food is the star!! Locals, please support this restaurant. They deserve the attention.

    We came for lunch and the food was pretty darn good and the prices were reasonable and the beer was ice cold! I would definitely come back.

    Soooo good!!! Sweet staff and amazing food. This is not TexMex, it's authentic. Sweet little place tucked away in Forest Hill.

    My friend and I came here last spring. The parking is limited, however we were able to find parking…read moreon the side of the restauraunt. The interior and exterior of Buena Vida is warm and inviting. The staff were friendly and quick with our order. There are plenty of areas to sit and their menu offers a variety of options. I opted for the barbacoa and chipotle lime tacos with a side of borracho beans. The beans were flavorful and paired well with the yummy tacos. My friend enjoyed her tacos as well. My meal satisfied me without feeling stuffed. I look forward to my next visit.

    Man, this one was a complete surprise. Our original plans for the evening were thrown off due to…read morenot knowing which places in the area were open when, so we opted for this place since it was accessible and the parking seemed to be more reasonable than others in the area. They're your typical trendy taco place, with their own selection of merchandise and crazy/cheesy jokes strewn about on t-shirts and signage. They have an ample bar space, but it looked like only one patron was interested in that; the rest of us were there to eat. You order your food at the counter and get a buzzer to come back and pick it up. The staff is friendly enough, but you don't really interact with them much since it's all pretty much self service after you go to the counter. The drink station has cane sugar based sodas; it's a bit heavy on the foam, but otherwise good. We opted for the birria pizza, a couple of cups of pozole, and a side of elote. Everything was solid. The elote was good, not great, but the pozole really hit the spot given how cold it was outside. The birria pizza is what blew me away, though. This was easily one of the most unique, but tasty, things I've ever had. It's not really a pizza, more like a topped quesadilla, but they did a great job of it. I'd not only come back here next time I'm in Fort Worth, I'd be interested in opening a location in Houston if I had the money to franchise it.
