Steps from Moscone Center and nestled in the heart of SoMa, Buena Vida Cantina brings the vibrant energy of southern Mexico to one of San Francisco’s most dynamic neighborhoods. With a colorful, multi-zone layout—including a private dining room, loft, full bar, and heated outdoor deck—this venue is built for events that aim to be both memorable and full of flavor.

​

Perfect for everything from seated dinners (up to 70 guests) to lively mixers and brand activations (up to 300 with a full buyout), Buena Vida is equal parts culinary celebration and community space. Chef-led menus honor Yucatán heritage with handmade tortillas, cochinita pibil, and creative seafood dishes, while the bar delivers top-shelf mezcal, fresh margaritas, and curated tequila flights. Dimmed lighting, upbeat Latin rhythms, and eclectic décor create a inviting atmosphere that’s ideal for team gatherings, offsites, post-conference receptions, and milestone celebrations. It’s elevated, energetic, and effortlessly fun.

 

Easily accessible via BART, MUNI, and nearby garages, Buena Vida is where guests come to connect, toast, and taste something they’ll talk about long after the event ends.
