Review by Yadira Hermiston

September 12, 2024

La Buena Vida is a gem in Raleigh! 🌟 The lively atmosphere instantly draws you in - live music, airplane shots, and even bongo players keep the energy high. I tried the Flautas paired with a Coco cocktail, and both were downright delicious!

While the place can get crowded, we were seated promptly, and the service was incredibly attentive. For a special night out, it’s totally worth it, though it can get quite loud for conversations! The colorful decor and creative drink presentations were a highlight too. Can't wait to return for another fun evening! 🎉
