About Our

Taco Franchise


Buena Onda Is Changing the Game

Welcome to the good vibes! Buena Onda is a fast-casual taco concept founded by James Beard Award-winning Iron Chef Jose Garces. Inspired by the surf towns along Mexico’s Baja Peninsula, our taquerias provide a relaxed, laid-back environment where guests can enjoy fresh seafood tacos, cervezas, and other traditional favorites. Buena Onda translates to “Good Vibes”, and that’s exactly what guests can expect every time they step through our doors!

Redefining the Fast-Casual Industry 

Our taco franchise is elevating the fast-casual experience by focusing on quality ingredients and a chef-curated menu. Buena Onda locations offer staples like house-made chips and salsa, guacamole, and tacos, as well as a variety of burritos and bowls. We also offer healthy kid meals for families looking for quality food on the go.  

All our menu items are made from scratch using fresh ingredients to ensure an exceptional culinary experience that is unrivaled in our industry. There are endless fast-casual options across the country, yet none are doing what we do. We’ve been changing the taqueria game since our brand launched in 2016 and are excited about what’s to come with our growing franchise!  

Mexican Baja tacqueria Vibes

Inspired by the sights, sounds and relaxation found throughout the coastlines of Mexico, Buena Onda brings the vibrancy of beach towns to you. Cool sea-inspired blues and natural wood elements highlight the varieties of textures found throughout the space.
