The food was absolutely delicious! The service was good not great but it was also like a massive lunch rush so I completely understand! I would 100% recommend this place. And I will be back.

Very good food, fun atmosphere. We reserved for a group of 18 ahead of time. They would only reserve high top tables, refused for us to reserve regular tables. We still had to use regular table beside it, not set up for 18. Kind of odd we couldn't reserve regular tables. They only had 1 waitress for our group. She was very nice but overloaded while the managers or owners were just watching her. They did help hand out food and helped then. Waitress did a nice job, but help...

5/5 Explored the city for the first time and worked up an appetite. Glad I came across Que Onda while I was busy being a tourist because the staff and food were exceptional! I loved chicken empanadas growing up and was beyond happy to see this as an option. Of course they were delicious! The side of queso was also a bigger portion size than what I'm normally used to for the same price. I'd come here all the time if I were local. Until next time!
