Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

I ordered the crunchy taco dinner with beans and rice and an order of chicken enchiladas with red sauce, no sides. The food quality was just average. Portions seemed very much smaller than pre-covid. I think I got a tablespoon each of rice and beans...with my taco order. The tacos were just okay and not sure if those tortillas were freshly fried. The enchiladas were made with small corn taco tortillas and the size was not impressive. I was still hungry when I finished, not like prior where I was stuffed. Not as good as it used to be. Not sure if I'll be back, and that's sad. I've been coming here a long time. :( You guys need to bring back the quality like it used to be. I can get average food anywhere else. Also did not like the big dog in the lobby with it's owner where food is ordered and received.More

What was once the home to iceberg hamburger restaurant is now a local Mexican restaurant. This budget friendly restaurant offers authentic Mexican cuisine.

Certainly the restaurant itself is plain but I found that it was most certainly spotless. The staff we kind, helpful, & informative, as well as humorous. Wonderful people. Now for the food, all the meat dishes were flavorful, tender, and juicy. My tamales were a...perfect balance of masa and meat filling.My grandchildren found the beans and rice absolute perfection, the beans packed so.much flavor and the rice was moist and spiced as I have never had before. My grandchildren chose the rellenos dinners. I thought for certain they would choose tacos but the wanted this colorful dish. For 2 year old twins, a 5 year old, and 7 year old, I was surprised that they loved this dish and requested that I find this recipe for home. I mist say that we were all satisfied and stuffed. We will most definitely be returning very soon. Applause to the chef and the staff at Taqueria Buena Vista on a job well done.More

This is a small restaurant where you order at the counter and pay with cash to avoid credit card surcharge. Food is good, tasty, and freshly made. Recommend you visit if you have the chance.

We have often stopped there on our way home from somewhere for a quick bite. The place is busy but service is good. The tacos are outstanding. My husband particularly likes the tongue tacos. AND, they serve corn tortillas.

Going in I expected fast food Mexican. What I got was very tasty with great service. Yes you stand in line - because it' busy and good, Yes you order and pay at the counter before you get your food. Then you sit and get...salsa and chips and have your food brought to you. As many others have commented there is no ambiance, but I've never had a bad meal. My advice is find a place to park and go.More

The food here is great and prices are reasonable. The salsa is amazing and tastes freshly made. The cons are it feels cold and sparse. It’s has very bright lighting, it would feel more relaxing for dining if the lights were dimmed a bit. The...strawberry margarita I ordered was too sweet and it had no alcohol in it. I had to purchase a tequila shot to put in the drink. I would probably come here for food and wear my sunglasses, then I would go elsewhere for drinks. Mexican restaurants are know for well made drinks , I think they should give some attention to their margaritas and increase the price a little instead of eliminating the tequilaMore

We've decided that we definitely have a preference for the other location at Forest Home! The ambiance here isn't as nice as we've come to expect and the food is certainly better at the other two locales! The skirt steak dinner was quite a bit...tougher than we prefer to eat! The quesadillas were okay and the creama seemed diluted? Pretty decent salsa and chips and some great corn tortillas! We've decided we will return to the other place on Forest Home! Cinco de Mayo is not the only time to enjoy delicious Mexican cuisine! Muchas gracious!More

I can't attest to the actual restaurant itself, however I frequent their taco truck on 92nd and Lincoln. Every time I go I have to get burritos for my coworkers and tacos for myself. Food is always fresh and hot and SUCH a great value....My favorite salsas in the city! The employees are ALWAYS incredibly friendly and helpful.More

We've never had a bad meal here. You order at counter from a large menu on the wall with pictures of the dishes. The food is brought out to the small dining area. Beer, soda and Mexican non-alcoholics are available. The food is fresh, hot...and authentic. Just don't expect anything fancy in with the physical location. It is a bit run down and maybe in need of a good cleaning. I hesitate to say that, but a lot of people expect a certain experience at Mexican restaurant (music, colorful uniforms and fancy decorations). This place is not that. The people behind the counter are friendly, welcoming and helpful. Come for the food not the atmosphere.More

Ok so I was skeptical when I pulled up but don't let the humble facade dissuade you. The food was phenomenal! It was dinner time so I waited a few minutes but it was well worth it!
