Great lunch spot after Franklin Institute
There is no question these are among the best tacos I have ever had. You order at a tablet (they could use more than two when it is busy) and can mix and match. \n\nI had the pork al Pork al pastor, red chili short rib, and tequila lime shrimp a la plancha tacos. I can honestly say the short rib taco was one of the best things I’ve ever eaten. Incredible and not too pricy. My final bill with a bottled water was $20. Not bad for a special lunch in a major American city.
The fish tacos were the best I have ever had.

Buena Onda offers a unique twist on Hispanic flavors, with dishes that can be hit or miss in terms of quality. The white sangria stands out as a highlight. The staff's friendliness varies, but the service is generally attentive. The restaurant has a clean, chain-restaurant vibe and is conveniently located near the Barnes museum. It's a good spot for a quick bite, with decent fish tacos being a recommended option.
The restaurant has received positive reviews from recent customers. They describe the food as delicious, with wonderful layers of flavor. The fish tacos with tequila lime glaze and al pastor tacos are particularly praised. Customers also enjoy the esquites, which are not commonly found at other places. The restaurant is wheelchair accessible, and the service is reported as quick and friendly. Customers enjoy the $3 chicken tacos on Thursdays and the tasty margaritas. The atmosphere is described as nice, though one customer had an issue with a large dog being present. Overall, Buena Onda is a good option for a quick, tasty Hispanic-inspired meal.
