Nestled in Milwaukee’s Burnham corridor, this intimate spot carries a comforting, unpretentious energy—where families, friends, and locals come together over hearty, soulful meals that invite sharing and savoring.
The pace here is relaxed yet lively, a place where menus spark curiosity and plates arrive piled high with layers of flavor—from sizzling fajitas to tender tacos that reflect a true dedication to authentic Mexican home cooking. It’s not a polished, glossy kind of dining; rather, the charm lies in its honest simplicity and warmth.

Behind the counter and in the kitchen, you sense a love for tradition and an attention to detail, offering dishes that feel both celebratory and grounded.

It’s the kind of place where the staff’s warmth mirrors the food’s generosity, creating moments that feel small but meaningful—simple human connections over well-crafted meals. This is a spot that doesn’t demand formality, but rather invites you to settle in, savor, and find a little slice of joy in everyday dining.

Stopped by the food truck on National and Hwy 100, by Home Depot. My family and I wanted to try out the food so we landed on 2 quesadilla, one chicken and one steak. Friendly staff, fantastic food. We will definitely be back again!

If you’re looking for legit Mexican food(the salsa is my fav), Taqueria BuenaVista is where it’s at! I’m from LA, and every time I eat here, it feels like I’m back home in downtown Los Angeles. The flavors are so authentic, and the staff is always super friendly and welcoming—it’s just a good vibe all around. Honestly, any of the bad reviews are probably from uncultured Karens who don’t know what real Mexican food is. This isn’t some watered-down, fake taco spot. It’s the real deal, and if you know, you know. If you’re craving legit tacos and that true LA taqueria feel, this place is a must!

It is not that fancy restaurant, but my family really enjoyed in here! Everything was so tasty and fresh with reasonable price. Definitely we will visit again!
