" Buena Onda is a fantastic find! I was informed that this restaurant takes pride in serving authentic Mexican food, and it did not disappoint. The mole was rich in taste, and the fresh ingredients made everything shine. I struggled to get the attention of my server at times, but the food made up for it. I will return! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a hidden gem! I stumbled into Buena Onda for a casual dinner and was greeted with mouthwatering smells. The carne asada was cooked perfectly, and it reminded me of my last trip to Mexico. I enjoyed every bite! It was slightly busy that evening, which made the service a little slower, but my server was friendly and very helpful. I'll be coming back regularly! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a fantastic evening at Buena Onda! The food was vibrant and fresh, especially the guacamole, which was perfect. The atmosphere is lively, and although the place can be quite busy, we still felt well taken care of by the staff. I will certainly be back as there's so much more to try on the menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" We stumbled upon Buena Onda after searching for a spot to satisfy our Mexican food cravings. The ambiance is cozy, and the music truly sets the mood. The guacamole is to die for, creamy and freshly made, while my partner adored the birria tacos. Service was attentive but a little slow on a busy Friday night. Overall, a solid experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a great time at Buena Onda! The appetizers were scrumptious, particularly the spicy guacamole and esquites. The ambiance is lively, and the people working there are delightful. If they can manage the service a bit better, this spot would be absolutely unbeatable. " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing great things, I finally tried Buena Onda, and wow, it met all my expectations! The freshness of the ingredients truly shines through each dish. Loved how each taco comes with a unique salsa; it’s such a nice touch. The service was friendly but felt a little rushed - perhaps they were just busy. Yet, I’ll certainly return! " (*Curated Review*)

" Was excited to try here but was a little let down by the service. The food didn't take too long, but getting a server's attention was tough. Despite that, the tacos were flavorful and really highlighted authentic Mexican cuisine. I'm willing to give it another chance because of the food! " (*Curated Review*)
