Buena Onda serves the best Mexican food I’ve had in the city! Everything we ate here was high quality, fresh, and authentic. The service was friendly and quick and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. The guacamole was delicious — you can taste the freshness of the ingredients. Don’t skip on it! I loved my enchiladas verdes. The chicken was so tender and savory. Our favorite taco was the barbacoa but I’m definitely coming back to try the birria next time! Each taco was served with a unique specialty salsa that paired well. Beans and rice were a great side. And you can’t forget the churros! They were the perfect ending to a great meal — crunchy on the outside and soft in the middle, all served with ice cream and a yummy drizzle. They took churros to the next level. Cannot recommend this place enough!

Great spot in UES with reasonable prices, good food and good drinks - what else do you need? Came in with a sizable group of about 20-25 people on a mid-week evening after an event, and they had plenty of room for us. Their menu has plenty of drink and food options, all of which quite tasty - they specialize in Mezcal-based cocktails (or even flights) but they have lots of other cocktails to choose from. I tried one of their Enchiladas and was well pleased. They also put out chips and (pleasantly spicy) dipping sauce for patrons here and there. The staff were super friendly and accommodating as well - they let us put in last-minute orders to the kitchen even as they were closing down, and didn't rush us out of the place at closing time. I'm saving this spot for future reference, will come back for sure.

Needed a place to camp after landing and this place did not disappoint. The vibe was very chill and they had plenty of screens to watch the NBA games on that night. I had the spicy guac and spicy margarita. They were delicious and definitely had my nose running a bit, lol. So respect. Great, chill service.

Great, fun atmosphere. Really good neighborhood spot with good food, plenty of TVs and plenty of room.

was in the at the bar well past closing time and a hungry couple walk in and ask for a table the owner was sitting next to me and ask what they wanted to eat and they said anything he allowed them to sit and eat and maybe made it himself, guys a real one for that. 5 stars

Looking for that authentic Taco de lengua? Nice atmosphere with Mexican flair and music? Don’t look any further! Come to Buena Onda, enjoy some tacos and combine it with Mezcal. Great

Love this place, I come here a lot, there are lots of regulars probably because they offer happy hour everyday from 4-7 and again from 10pm-2am. Service is great, margs great and food great.

I think they have a few kinks to work out (for example, the music is way too loud, it's hard to have a conversation while eating) but it's overall great food and friendly service. Good addition to the area!

Dropped by for a quick drink and was immediately seated and served warm chips and salsa. The chips and salsa were great and paired super well with the drinks we ordered. Grabbed a pitcher of passionfruit margarita (on the rocks) and it was around 1.5 glasses for the four of us - definitely worth the $38.
