    Felt chased away (last night) away from a reservation birthday meal to the point my blood pressure rose - but I don’t want to damage the jobs of many for the dual mistake of a mean host and judgmental server in three minutes … here’s what happened: While a lively, cheerful, smiling group of celebrating servers put on a show for a guest’s birthday, we were greeted with disdain, the mean male host seating my elderly bestie (limping with knee arthritis) first. He made him climb on a high top where he could fall his brittle bones broken. As a pro healthcare provider this was dangerous. I asked if we could move to a booth and mean host got defensive and screamed “NO” looking down his nose at me and began arguing. Stick with me reader and decide if you want to chance eating here. My 43 year experience in the restaurant industry knew being insulted entering the door was unacceptable. But it goes on… Stick with me reader - I’d rather burn my money in La Buena Vida parking lot than go through what the server did next. 🤷🏻‍♂️ It’s my birthday and we’re not looking for free food (showing my ID). 🗣️ WELL, we don’t give free food that’s Monday through Thursday (looking at my wrinkled t-shirt). 🤷🏻‍♂️ I don’t want free food (it was laundry day and my scrubs for healthcare were washing). More arguing with us so I said: 🤷🏻‍♂️ Look we are out of here. My favorite restaurant Carolina Ale House is across the parking lot. • And we left where the entire staff of the Carolina Ale House felt like home, from the hosts to Emily our server, even random staff wishing me a happy birthday after they asked what happened. If you want to be judged and argued with please take a chance at La Buena Vida. I recommend Carolina Ale House across the parking lot - their chicken nachos incredible.

    Unfortunately, this was a very disappointing experience. The food arrived cold and had almost no flavor, which is especially disappointing when you’re looking forward to good Mexican food. The customer service was practically nonexistent. We weren’t even given the basics—we didn’t have a knife at the table. Good food and good service don’t need to be complicated. Sadly, we got neither. Definitely not the experience we expected

    Second time here, I turned around because my son is picky and Dustin at the door convinced him to try their kids menu. Overall experience was 10/10 with his service. Ambiance is nice, great music. The girls that work here have an attitude. But this server is very pleasant and welcoming. Will be back just for him.

    What a delight to find this restaurant for lunch. I was there early in the day so I sat at the bar. The art that fills the walls to the grass platformed light fixtures highlight the black tile used through out the building. Now for the food. They have a fabulous lunch menu with great pricing and portions. Once we worked through my food allergies and what I could eat I got the smokey asada tacos while my sister got the speedy combo for lunch. It was absolutely delicious and nice portions. I will go back.

    It’s getting greedy & ghetto out here. We used to LOVE this place, but hadn’t been in a long time. My boyfriend and I decided to come back for dinner for his birthday this evening, and it was a total disappointment. First of all, please tell me in what world a MOCKTAIL costs the same as an alcoholic drink?! I asked the girl behind the counter after getting our bill if the price was actually correct, and she told me it was because they “use the same juices.” C’mon now. 😂 My boyfriend had a TOP-SHELF alcoholic drink and somehow his was CHEAPER than my drink with absolutely no alcohol in it. Make that make sense. Then he swapped the chicken for steak on his meal. Nowhere was it mentioned that doing so would be an additional $6 upcharge, but there it was on the bill. We looked back at pics from previous visits and the quality of food has substantially decreased as well! It’s not even about a few extra dollars—it’s the principle. Be upfront about your pricing and upcharges. We used to really enjoy coming here, but after tonight, I honestly don’t know that we’ll be back. Check out Carajillos off Fall of Neuse. Or even the one in Garner, or El Jimador in Knightdale! Way better, worth the drive!
