Buena Vida Social Club - Arlington

Required outdoor eating only due to kovid, and was close to overcrowded tables. this made a very unpleasant situation. they don't care that we're in a pandemic.

Pretty good atmosphere. The tacos were okay. We would definitely go back. It is in a good location and the view is quite beautiful.

This was our second time at the TTT Buena Vida Social Club. Our experience started on the negative side of things when we arrived there and the host (which was sweet) informed us that the social club was closed for reservations. We were very confused about why they didn't warn us about it when we made the reservation, as the rooftop was the whole reason we ate in this facility. Instead, they sat on the way, which would have been good if we had expected. From there it just went downhill. It took forever to just place a beverage order, and we never even got the chips and salsa we ordered. The only positive thing I can say is that the food was delicious.

Had great pictures seen from the location of instagram and it certainly lived up to the photos! sure gives you the miami vibe with the vibrant colors and cabanaesque look. I thought it would be busy so that we made reservations for the roof just make reservations on weekends), and was super confused when we were on the roof and nobody welcomed us. I asked the bartender about seats and he said we could sit somewhere. What made no sense with a reservation, but luckily it was empty. Service was super slow. the waitresses all talked and you almost had to swing them down to get over. Eating was okay not AMAZING, but also not terrible. The buffet is the only option during lunch on weekends, which is a summer, as I was hoping to taste their menu items. The price for everything you can eat is not expensive $25), but with just eating a few tacos it was not worth the price. Everywhere the atmosphere is what makes this a 4-star place, while the food / service makes it a 3. If you're looking for a drink on a roof and an unstoppable moment will come here! If you are looking for amazing/authentic Mexican food, try somewhere else.
