Delicious low-key taco place. Got the fish tacos and also a watermelon lemonade, which was way to sweet in my opinion. Sauces and salsas really good here!

Food is great: just two issues. Number one we specifically asked for no. No sauce on the fish tacos for our four year old. Order had sauce which she found too spicy. Number two. Chips tasted stale. We had food earlier in the week from this location and the chips were much better…

Tacos are just one per order so make sure you order a few. Short rib is the best in my opinion. They also have margaritas. Take note of the specials depending on the day, could be half off margaritas or $2 chicken tacos or something else…

I frequently visit Buena Onda for the the quality of the food and the overall dining experience. The atmosphere is informal, lively and welcoming, and the service was excellent from start to finish.

Buena Onda has a cool, sunny, vibe with comfortable seating inside and outside. The food is good: basic tacos, quesadillas, margaritas, and not too expensive. Fish taco was “great” and the quesadillas was small but fine. It’s not table service so you have to go to the counter to order so it’s pretty casual. There’s outdoor seating in addition to the indoor seating. The strawberry margarita was not very flavorful but it was strong!

Let me start by saying I actually really love Buena. They usually have great fresh food and I never usually have issues when dining in or taking out. But tonight….. different story. I don’t know what it is about the Sunday night crew but they all need to either be retrained or find a new job. I came in tonight wanting some nachos , so I ordered and I was told the wait for my takeout order would be 10 to 15 minutes. I waited 25-30. All as I watched the crew eat chips out on the floor , text on their phones , laugh and joke with one another . The food actually did come out in 10 to 15 minutes , I just didn’t know it. As the crew focused on having social time , laughing and almost screaming in the restaurant , I got up after a while because I knew it had at least been 20 minutes to see if I missed my name and any of the existing bags on the counter were mines. When I asked for my order the crew preceded to eat their chips while trying to find my food which was right on the counter and sitting there for 10 minutes . Okay so the service was terrible , and then I get home to eat and all the cheese on the nachos is just all bunched together, the chips were burnt , the shrimp was chewy and almost inedible . The food was just so gross and it was so disappointing after watching a bunch of teenagers play around while my food is being be prepared and just waiting for me get. Super disappointed and I know as soon as I seen anyone from tonight’s staff , to not even bother ordering. Super unprofessional experience .

Bueno Onda, visited this place with my mom for the first time, and I would definitely be going back soon. Firstly, the staff was friendly and greeted everyone as they came in contact. Everything was clean and staff was fast with attending to tables. The strawberry margarita was flavorful and strong. They do have indoor and outdoor seating with a summer beachy vibe. Ordered the fried shrimp and fish tacos which came out hot and crispy ! Next time I would definitely order and try some additional foods but I was so eagered to try the tacos !
