Pleasantly surprised! Took a chance on a hot day after Franklin institute. Had the fish tacos with lime glaze and a mushroom... kale taco. The fish taco was definitely much better and the chips and guacamole were great! The chips definitely tasted homemade and were hard to stop eating. White sangria was strong but delicious! Would go back for sure. Easy, quick, and quite good! Read more
The customer service is horrible ! They ignore you! We asked for the happy hour specials and they legit did not respond ! I... order a burrito and it was only filled with chicken and rice nothing else I asked for. When I asked them to remake it they toldme the chef was frustrated and it would take to long to fix and just gave it back to me. I will never be eating or drinkingthere again. This is not the first time either ! The staff was all high as a kite and didn?t care at all ! You don?t even getany sauces or anything! No refund or anything. This is by the art museum !!! I will never go back !!! Read more
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. Thestrawberry margarita was flavorful and strong. They do have indoor and outdoor seating with a summer beachy vibe. Ordered thefried shrimp and fish tacos which came out hot and crispy ! Next time I would definitely order and try some additional foods butI was so eagered to try the tacos ! Read more

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 needto 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 mytakeout 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 theirphones , laugh and joke with one another . The food actually did come out in 10 to 15 minutes , I just didn?t know it. As thecrew focused on having social time , laughing and almost screaming in the restaurant , I got up after a while because I knew ithad 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 formy order the crew preceded to eat their chips while trying to find my food which was right on the counter and sitting there for10 minutes . Okay so the service was terrible , and then I get home to eat and all the cheese on the nachos is just all bunchedtogether, the chips were burnt , the shrimp was chewy and almost inedible . The food was just so gross and it was sodisappointing 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 unprofessionalexperience . Read more
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 youhave to go to the counter to order so it?s pretty casual. There?s outdoor seating in addition to the indoor seating. Thestrawberry margarita was not very flavorful but it was strong! Read more
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... Read more
