" A pleasant dining experience overall but did have a couple of hiccups. The food tasted great, but one of the items we ordered arrived late. The drinks were great, and the ambience was the perfect mix of lively and intimate. I would revisit. " (*Curated Review*)

" First time at La Buena Vida, and I was amazed by how authentic the food tasted! The mole sauce was rich and delicious, and the carne asada was some of the best I’ve had in town. The environment is buzzing which I loved, but be prepared for a wait. Definitely worth it, as everything we tried was excellent! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was really looking forward to eating here after hearing great things, but my experience was disappointing. The chips were stale, and my entree lacked seasoning. I didn't find the taste to be authentic Mexican at all, which was a letdown. On the bright side, the staff was polite, and the restaurant had a nice ambiance. Perhaps it was just an off night? " (*Curated Review*)

" A nice addition to the Fort Collins dining scene! The vibe here is lively and welcoming. The food came out quickly, and the flavors were vibrant and fresh. However, I thought the portions could be a bit larger for the price you pay. Overall, a pleasant dining experience with great company! " (*Curated Review*)

" I thought the flavors would be more authentic based on the name and reviews. The food was just average to me, and the portions felt a bit small for the price. Service was fine, but overall I left feeling a bit disappointed. " (*Curated Review*)

" I came here on a whim and was pleasantly surprised by how nice everything was! The atmosphere is upbeat and lively, perfect for a casual night out. I had the steak burrito, though it could have used a bit more seasoning. Drinks were on point, and the chips and salsa made a great appetizer. " (*Curated Review*)

" Honestly, I wanted to love this place based on the hype, but I found it quite average. The food was decent, but the flavors just didn’t hit the mark for authentic Mexican cuisine. The service was friendly but a bit slow, especially on a busy night. I think I might give it another shot, but only if I’m in the area and looking for a casual meal. " (*Curated Review*)
