Buena Onda is a cozy haven on the Upper East Side serving up authentic Mexican bites, memorable margaritas, and a welcoming vibe perfect for families.
"It might be tempting to take away Buena Onda’s freshly made Argentine empanadas to-go, but consider sitting in the charming outdoor dining area. A dozen empanadas can easily feed a group with compelling flavors like the Caprese empanada stuffed with tomatoes, mozzarella, and basil. The traditional version with Sunfed Ranch ground beef with onions, bell peppers, olive oil, and boiled egg is always a top choice. Check to see if live music is on the schedule, order some wine, and settle in." - Mona Holmes
"It might be tempting to take away Buena Onda’s freshly made Argentine empanadas while on the go, but consider sitting in the outdoor dining area that may have live music in the later hours. A dozen empanadas can easily feed four people with compelling flavors like the Caprese empanada stuffed with tomatoes, mozzarella, and basil. The traditional version with Sunfed Ranch ground beef with onions, bell peppers, olive oil, and boiled egg is always a top choice." - Eater Staff, Mona Holmes
