★★★★★ 5.0 Brandon Fry · Mar 2026

Buena Onda punches far above its weight and is better than it has any right to be. It's an extremely affordable fast food/fast casual taco spot but I'll be honest, they are serving the best tacos I've had in the city. Yes, they aren't fancy or crazy unique but they are consistently high quality with fresh ingredients and delicious and varied flavors at a price point that I don't fully understand. The happy hour has recently changed, but previously it was $4 fish tacos which were absolutely delicious. Now, it's $3 tacos for al pastor, as well as few different chicken options. Drinks are also crazy cheap, but still strong and taste pretty good. $5 margaritas and sangrias during happy hour and beers are even cheaper. So for excellent tacos and drinks for two people you can have a tasty meal

★★★★★ 5.0 Bridget Corry Morse · Jan 2026

Food is always prepared well with fresh ingredients. Nice people. Music is always good. Really good fountain sodas. I can usual find a seat. Walking distance to the Barnes Foundation. Gluten free choices. Street parking and a large pay lot across the street

Buena Onda was solid! The food is was fresh and full of flavor. The ingredients were vibrant, the vibe is chill and reminds me of a west coast vibe (beach, Cali vibe), and you can really taste the quality in every bite. One of my new spots in Philly for something fresh and flavorful! Especially the Short Rib Quesadilla and the Fish Tacos!

★★★★★ 5.0 blackcurrantpop · Oct 2025

I love this place!!! Been here twice and it doesn’t disappoint. The fish tacos, crispy beef taco and chicken adobe quesadilla and nacos are my faves. Price is great! Quesadilla is a bit pricey for two slices. Wish there were 3 for $15 but only has two. Overall, clean environment and very fresh tasty food!!
