Buena Vida
The first of three Mexican concepts to open in the 3-story building that was previously home to La Tasca, Buena Vida is a full-service restaurant offering an authentic taste of Mexico City, from menudo soup to drunken chicken. Its menu was created by prominent Mexican chef Gerardo Vázquez Lugo, whose acclaimed restaurant Nicos has been a Mexico City favorite for more than 60 years.
