Buena Vida Restaurant

They have horrible protocol. They did not make sure my items were gluten free or nut free and I had to be rushed to the hospital.

When they initially opened they had a far friendlier menu for people with celiacs disease. However they keep changing things for the worse, do not recommend currently.

Celiac friendly?

No

Most of the food is not gluten free, almost nothing was able to be made gluten free. Don’t recommend.

i didn’t end up eating here to give a real review, because after talking with the manager they said basically everything would be cross contaminated, even the tacos. my parents love the food and drinks though if you aren’t super sensitive

Excellent food. Good prices. Dedicated GF menu, but so separate fryer.

Mixed reviews of this place. The tacos are great and are absolutely GF and safe. The meatballs are amazing. And I had a great beet salad. Unfortunately, the fryers are shared and makes the chips, corn empanadas, plantains and more unsafe. The bad news is that their allergen menu doesn’t indicate this. Just marks it gluten free. You need to ask and be careful. Overall, I will go again. Just bring your own chips and double check with the knowledgeable wait staff.
