Best Tapas Restaurants in Norcross

Food was great as always but our server was terrible. He couldn't be found most of the time. We had to wait for him to come back so we could order something else during happy hour. We had to wait forever for him so we could get the check but he was quick to come get that money, fastest I saw him move all night. I wish I could remember his name.

We chose this place for our anniversary dinner, and we’re glad we did! The atmosphere was lovely, and the service was outstanding. Our server was incredibly attentive and made sure everything was perfect throughout the evening. For our meal, we ordered the flatbread, burger, and lamb, and all three dishes were excellent. The flatbread was flavorful and perfectly prepared, and the lamb was the star of the night—my wife absolutely loved it. The burger, while cooked more on the well-done side than the medium we ordered, still had such great flavor that it made up for the doneness. We indulged in three desserts: the Tiramisu, Oreo Cheesecake, and Cremoso de Chocolate. This was the only part of the meal that didn’t fully shine. The Tiramisu was good overall, but there was so much cocoa powder on top that we both found ourselves coughing on the first bite—it required some strategic eating. The Oreo Cheesecake was the standout, though it didn’t have the traditional cheesecake consistency. The Cremoso de Chocolate was a bit underwhelming flavor-wise, but in fairness, it might just be meant to be more subtle. Overall, it was a fantastic evening with mostly excellent food, a few minor critiques, and exceptional service. We’ll definitely be back for another special occasion!

"First time dining at Buena Vida and it was an excellent experience! The restaurant is lovely with a great atmosphere, but not stuffy. The food was delicious (wonderful paella); our server Chloe was the best, answering all our questions and making great menu suggestions. We were there to celebrate a birthday and the manager on duty, Ivana sent us a round of champagne for the occasion; very classy! I highly recommend Buena Vida and will be back."

We love this restaurant! This was a party for 6 for birthday dinner The people are so friendly but the service was a little slow this time, out of character for them in general

Absolutely love this place. The Tapas are fantastic. The service and ambiance are equally awesome. This is a great after work place or for a date. Love it!!
