AMAZING food truck! We had the Buena Comida cater our late night meal for our wedding reception and everyone in attendance RAVED about the tacos. I personally was ordering them by the triplets they were so good. I appreciated that they catered to a wide range of different diets (gluten free, vegetarian), which my wedding guests appreciated. They were amazing people to work with, very down to earth and friendly. I would highly recommend their services for any event/venue/wedding, and would highly recommend their restaurant to anyone who just wants to grab a delicious meal!

Buena Comida is amazing! The tacos are delicious and the people who run this business are even better! They catered our wedding with their food truck, and every person in attendance RAVED about them. They catered to various diets as well (gluten free and vegetarian), which was well appreciated amongst our guests. They were great people to work with, and I would definitely recommend them for any event/wedding/venue. I can't sing them enough praises.

Very friendly owners, menu was being redesigned so it was limited to one dish that had nicely seasoned chicken and steak with rice and beans and a dynamite salad with a cilantro sauce. I'll definitely be back to hopefully have their tacos, which I've heard are some of the best anyone will have.

I saw “Best tacos you’ll ever have” and I had to test them. They absolutely delivered! Wish they were on Long Island!

I decided to try this place out of whim on my lunch break and I am so glad I did! One of the best tacos I’ve ever had! The food was very authentic and made with love. Customer service was also great! Highly recommend.

Everything at this place is made to order. Fresh ingredients never frozen. Tacos to die for. The way he roasts his beef and chicken and is unreal. The empanada dough is fresh fresh order and fried on demand. The authenticity can be tasted in the food.

Amazing food and service, totally worth visiting!

Great reviews so I checked it out. Diana was nice & inviting. They wasn't making sandwiches or yucca fries at the time, so I went with the classic Carne asada tacos and tres Leche cake. Both were excellent! Yum!!

Awsome atmosphere made us feel at home authentic food. Multiple options to choose from the menu with gluten free and vegan. Down to earth owner.

Tacos were very tasty - especially that shell! The chicken empanada seemed a little bland to me but I still ate two. Just be aware when ordering - the tacos are shown in the photo as two tacos side-by-side but each order is actually only one taco. It was our mistake, as we should have read more carefully, but the photos were a bit misleading. Next time we will have a much bigger order!

The food is amazing the owner treats you like family! Definitely a spot you need to try out and they have vegan options which taste like a chefs kiss

The food is really good. It's an authentic Puerto Rican restaurant which is hard to find upstate! Plus LGBTQ friendly. It's our favorite quick go to lunch/dinner!

Love this place. They cannot guarantee a lot of things--supplier issues, low level staffing, the usual pandemic stuff--and their sign is tiny and unlit if you don't know the location, but their food is damn good. I don't love the chicken taco (little dry) but all others--beef, pork, jackfruit--are delightful. And based on the pork empanada I had tonight I think that the chicken might still be good in an empanada. Their tacos are so simple but so good (and I love their taco sauce) and the insane crunch they get in the shell is like nowhere else. The flan is okay--the tres leches that they usually have but don't have as an option online is AMAZING. I am not a big fan normally because of the coconut but this manages to balance it with all the vanilla and is soooooo good, you will be licking the container. The plantains are cut thick and taste so good dipped in a little guac. Yucca fries were a little too crisp but my family still liked them.You will not regret eating here. Do it.

I got two stuffed tacos which were full of meat with lettuce, cheese, sour cream, pico de gallo, guacamole, and taco sauce. The carne asada was flavorful as well as the pork which was juicy and tender. Everything was so fresh and delicious. Definitely a must try!
