Baja-inspired taqueria with fish tacos, margaritas, and bowls
"Good vibes tacos, baja style from acclaimed Chef Jose Garces. A great stop off for a bite to eat in between the many art museums in the neighborhood." - Radlands
"Margaritas flow at all the various locations in the city and suburbs. At the Fairmount outpost, choose from seven versions, including one with prickly pear and another with mango, pineapple, and strawberry — it’s basically vacation in a glass." - Ernest Owens
"Outside of the regular Happy Hour deals, Buena Onda also has specials like two-for-$5 al pastor tacos and Tecates on Mondays, half-priced margaritas all day on Tuesdays, and $2 pollo tacos all day on Thursdays. This essentially means that you can bank on getting a discounted taco or cocktail from the taqueria every day that you open your eyes." - Candis R. McLean
"Buena Onda, Fairmount Art Museum by Radlands. Good vibes tacos, baja style from acclaimed Chef Jose Garces. A great stop off for a bite to eat in between the many art museums in the neighborhood."
"A delivery-only offshoot of the Philadelphia-based taco shop is launching in D.C. with orders cooked out of an Arlington, Virginia, kitchen beginning Wednesday, September 15; regular hours will be Tuesday through Sunday, 11 a.m. to 8 p.m., with delivery via DoorDash, Caviar, Grubhub and Uber Eats (delivery radius varies by app). The six-year-old fast-casual brand specializes in sustainably sourced seafood inspired by the Baja California coast, offering Atlantic mahi mahi or Pacific shrimp tacos ($4 each) battered and fried or grilled in a tequila-lime glaze and served on a homemade flour tortilla with chipotle remoulade, avocado, red cabbage slaw, and scallions. Other taco choices include adobo chicken, short rib, and shrimp and chorizo, and the same proteins can be built into bowls on white rice, brown rice, or a lettuce mix with spiced black beans, chipotle mayo, crema, queso fresco, carrot and cabbage slaw, avocado, crispy garbanzo beans, and salsa. More Buena Onda virtual kitchens are planned for Florida, New York, and Massachusetts, and a quarter of every guacamole and bottled-water sale is donated to the Garces Foundation." - Tierney Plumb
