4.5 stars? Come on, get real. The great rating led me to go in the market after we had gone to the Farmer's Market. Went to the produce section. Not one item had a price. I don't recall ever seeing produce not marked. Are you dupposed to buy without knowing how much it will cost you? read more

Best tacos in town! The cooks make everything fresh here. From the tacos to all the salsas. The portion sizes are amazing!! The mango Agua Fresca is also refreshing too! It's a must try. It's located in back of the supermarket but it's such a hidden gem. The workers were all so nice too! 10/10!! The place is a bit small but the food is worth trying! read more

Good food! Not as cheap as I'd expected but really solid tacos & burritos. I got a carne asada taco & a carnitas taco- really flavorful & both packed with meat! read more

My new favorite burrito spot! A mexican market with tons of options and a taqueria tucked away in the back by the deli counter. Serving authentic and hearty breakfast burritos. They didn't have a breakfast burrito listed on the menu so I asked the kind woman behind the counter and she put together a beautiful burrito for me. I always love supporting small businesses, and this one deserves the recognition for their quality food and hard working employees. read more

Very kind staff, the produce is always fresh and the best limes you'll find around. 11/10 reccomend this place above others!

Great little market!! Not huge, but has plenty to offer. Several "farmers" and ready to eat options. Would love to see more vendors with tgeir handcrafts. read more

Hand made awesome tacos and burritos and really friendly people! Well stocked store as well.

Once you start shopping at this local, family owned market, you will never want to shop anywhere else for your groceries because Buena Vista Market is the sweetest, most wholesome market there is. Phenomenal service, an abundance of amazing products, an adorably small market that has just what you need. I probably won't ever move out of Dana Point, because I can't live without this market! read more

Decent price for the combo plate. Enough meat for 7 tacos and some nachos. Small market with a meat counter and the cooked food.

I read great reviews about the traditional Mexican food, but I am vegan so I wasn't sure it would work.... Well, I am thrilled to say that they make an excellent vegan burrito with rice, whole beans, lettuce, tomato, cilantro, onion, avocado, cabbage (I skipped the cheese), and they have avocado salsa. It was huge and delicious and homemade. The woman behind the counter makes the food and assured me there was no animal broth or ingredients in the rice nor the whole beans (the refried beans are not vegetarian/vegan). She also said she could make tacos similarly. I'm hooked. Thank you, Buena Vista Market!! read more

Hands down the best Mexican food in south OC. I specifically like the carnitas tacos the most. Haven't found any other carnitas that comes close. Don't be intimidated if you don't speak fluent Spanish, walk in to the back of the market, be polite and they'll take great care of you. Don't forget to tip after you pay! read more

Great food, old school Mexican Mercado vibe. The tacos and burritos are hidden in the back corner

I love this little market. They are so sweet and the staff is helpful. The food in the back is top-notch. Carnitas burrito perfection. Love the caldos and everything read more

Buena Vista Market checking this place out for the second time! Friendly staff, isles are organized and it's easy to know where things are at. They do need plastic or paper bags by the dry spices bc I needed to purchase some dry Chiles Rojos for a tamale sauce tonight and there was nothing to place them on or weight the product. I also bought 1/2LB of Queso Fresco and it looks delicious and very fresh! Will write more about my visit after I try the products! read more

The Buena Vista Market is a great privately owned market. The staff is friendly, and there's a good assortment of merchandise; such as ready-to-eat takeout food, nice vegetables, a well-stocked butcher counter, and a good variety of canned goods. Will definitely be back and recommend. read more

Quality of food at a great price. The owner is super friendly and courteous. Great selection of meats and vegetables.

They have the best cabeza tacos! Very authentic flavors and the salsa is homemade and spicy! If you LOVE spicy, ask for the salsa de siete (salsa made with chilies and oil) they don't have it all the time, but man does it have a kick!!! Also the carnitas with cueritos are amazing! Good service as well, they always welcome us with a smile. Pro tip: they usually mount on the meat so I make 2 tacos out of one! read more

The food is pretty good. Relatively cheap. Just don't go expecting fine dining. It's located in a Mexican grocery store. Lot of locals. Not the cleanest place.... but if you're looking for dirty (in a good way) Mexican food, this is the place for you. Not good for vegetarians. read more

Lately, I have been craving tacos. Specifically, I've been missing the tacos at Buena Vista Market in Dana Point. Inside the market towards the back, you will find the spot where yummy tacos and burritos are made. I have enjoyed all the meats that we have tried so far. Probably the Carnitas are my favorite. Regardless, everything has been flavorfully delicioso!! Have yet to be disappointed. There are a few tables with chairs to sit at inside the market. This is definitely not fine dining. Prices are reasonable for this area. Cannot tell you anything about the rest of the market. Each time we visit, we head straight to the hot food! They truly are a hidden gem in Dana Point. Some of the best tacos I've ever eaten have been at Buena Vista Market! It has been too long since we've dropped by. Hopefully, we can rectify that in the near future! read more

Great food for large gatherings. Made my own taco bar with their taco meats to go. Grabbed tortillas, all the fixings and beans and rice!

Very friendly and thoughtful staff serving a delicious chicken soup inside the market! If you are staying at a hotel by the beach, go for a walk to try a cup of comforting soup here! I asked for some tortilla chips to perfect the soup, and the lady gave me big crispy corn tortillas as well as freshly chopped cilantro and onions. Although I had to walk 15 min to get back to my hotel room, the soup was still so warm when I opened the soup cup. I was really happy enjoying the ocean view from my room with this tasty chicken tortilla soup. Highly recommend doing this!! read more

Looking for casual Mexican foods and found this place not too far from Dehony state beach for the great price and great foods. We ordered 8 tacos and 16 oz Menudo for $33 not too bad for 4 of us. Recommended to anyone who would like some local Mexican foods. read more

This market is little but it attracts big crowds of customers buying groceries and made to order food. We timed our visit to beat the lunch crowd that we witnessed a few days ago, atleast 12 people deep. Food portions are large and the carnitas torta was outstanding! Looking forward to trying their chicken molé before we leave DP. We also picked up some fresh veggies and chops for a reasonable price compared to your normal grocery store chain. Friendly people, and great covered patio tables to enjoy a meal. read more

Wow a nice little hidden gem ! Amazing carnitas tacos , Mexican sweet breads and they also have frozen passion fruit pulp which is hard to find ! The service so friendly with a smile on there faces. I enjoy my tacos outside on there tables and the plaza is very cozy with the palm trees and ocean air I will definitely be back read more

This place used to be a great spot. Not anymore! I got my favorite Torta and rice to go, by the time i got home 5 minutes later everything is cold including the side of rice and the contents of the torta. Great little house of health hazards in the middle of a pandemic. You've all been warned. read more

OHMIGOSH the food here is amazing. I only wish this cook well and hope he opens a bigger restaurant. This place is tucked away in a Mexican grocery store, but is well worth the trip - the tacos are amazing and authentic: corn torrillas, meat, onion, authentic salsa and cilantro. The carnitas tacos was my favorite and just had the best flavor I have ever tasted anywhere ever. I wish I lived next to this place, but alas I'm a state away... One tip: don't use their bathroom. Not only was it dirty, but there was dish soap for soap and the trash was overflowing. read more

Man I'm so disappointed in this place it used to be my go to place for burritos and tacos. The quality of the food has gone down exponentially over the past few years. I can't recommend the food until they fix the quality and the way they used to prepare the food. read more

Best tacos in south Orange County period! Beef stew is amazing too. Quick and friendly service a must do in Dana Point

Fresh ingredients with homemade style cooking. Tacos and burritos are awesome. friendly clean service with tables outside to enjoy your meal read more

We drop by Buena Vista Market for hot food around once a month. The place is a gem in Dana Point. We typically purchase their quesadillas (which are huge) with chicken and carne asada. We recently had guests and wanted to have a taco night so we purchased their cooked meat by the pound ($8-10 per lb) which was an excellent value. We grabbed a pound of carne asada, chicken, and carnitas. All were fresh and rich with flavor. They also give you salsa, chopped onions, and parsley to take home. The market also has 3L of Mexican Coke, which I've never seen before! read more

The shopkeeper/owner was extremely rude to me and my family when we came in to look. We had never been in before and just wanted to walk through. He got mad at me when I said I was just browsing. We quietly walked through and didn't ask any questions or cause any disturbances. He insulted us multiple times as we were leaving, which was very uncalled for. Will never be back here. Rudest service I've ever experienced!!! read more

Really nice market. Lots of delicious fresh cooked items. The guy at the counter really helpful and a lot of positive energy. If craving for some Mexican freshly cooked food or some groceries, definitely the place to look for. Thank you! read more

Wow. If you are looking for authentic Carne Asada or Carnitas tacos look no further. So glad I stopped after dropping off dry cleaning. Friendly good people. The lady who prepared the tacos did so with love. Top five authentic taco experiences. Cilantro/onions/meat green sauce and a few limes. Throw in an ice cold coke and life is great. Great people. Great market. read more

The al pastor tacos are out of this world. Heaping portions and served fresh. The salsas are all incredible, fresh and properly spicy. Must try! read more

Not a great selection at this market like they used to have. Health quality of the store and cleanliness feels a bit unsafe. The staff is really rude now. Pressuring people to buy and yelling at their customers. read more

Great classic flavors and tender meat selections. The rice is flavorful and perfectly cooked. The beans have a creamy texture to them. Both of the house made hot sauces have tremendous flavor and compliment ever dish. read more

Just a little stand in the back of a convenience store, really friendly people, and overall the kind of place I usually gravitate to. There's no menu. You just look in the tubs o' meat and tell the nice man what you want. But the tacos are just OK. I mean, they're cheap, which is nice, but the flavors are muted. We got a few different kinds of pollo (despite ordering carnitas), al pastor, carne asada, and cueritos. They came with green salsa and some limes. Without the additions, the tacos were dry. I think the best one was the cueritos, because seriously, how can fatty pork skin slices be bad? Ask for extra onions and cilantro. read more

Seriously.... some of the best Torta's, Tacos and Burritos around! This place is not a full restaurant- just in back of the Mexican supermarket- in the same plaza as Hennessey's. You would never know it existed. The food is killer. Not to be missed! BEACHYUMS! read more

Grilled chicken tacos were very good. This is the place I go when I am having lunch alone. Mostly because others may have higher standards. My own place. read more
