I was looking for a venue to have a milestone birthday party for myself. I've been to Buena Onda…read morefor a couple of parties and each time, the experience was really memorable. I met Matias Requena, the owner, and knew right away I wanted to have my party there. He spent all the necessary time with me answering questions and offering great suggestions. Due to some impending rains, however, I needed to move the party to a different location (at the last minute) but Buena Onda still took care of all the catering. Matias and his crew did such a wonderful job not only understanding the venue change, but catered it perfectly. The Buena Onda crew were all super courteous and the the food was amazing. The next time I want to throw a party, it will definitely be at Buena Onda Restaurant. The letter grade for Matias and Buena Onda is A+

We visited Santa Barbara for the weekend and stopped by Buena Onda to try their freshly baked…read moreArgentinian empanadas. The restaurant has a rustic feel with a nice outdoor front patio for dining. We ordered the combo of 3 empanadas with a choice of side (salad or chimi papas). We tried the carne, pollo, buen día, and the daily special (brisket with peppers). For sides, we got one order of chimi papas and one garden salad. The empanadas were big and generously filled. Our favorite was the carne. I would also recommend choosing the salad over the potatoes as a side. It's a spot worth visiting if you're in the mood for empanadas!

Wild flower-Standard almost like neutral white wine Rare earth- feels like a nice warmed baked good in a drink with the cinnamon and spice. Sierra madre- has that quality aged wine flavor. Milk and honey had that creamy sweetness (not overly sweet) High and dry reminds me of a white wine with the crisp apple notes Kombucha here is not sour. And the jasmine has lite notes but I tasted more hops Elderberry echinacea (these are good for respiratory health/ infections btw) - has that lactose flavor

But what is this filling in the strawberry empanada? Strawberries grow everywhere around here but apparently they can't find one or two to put in the strawberry turnovers/empanadas? It's some kind of clear donut filling jelly type junk that bears no resemblance to real strawberry. Yuck. Also the side windows on this building need shades, it looks like a junkyard in there.

The price might have been justifiable if the empanadas were out of this world but they were not - they were burnt (see pic) and one of them had a HUMAN HAIR embedded in its crust which I could clearly see at night without proper lighting. I tried to pull out the hair but it was pretty stuck and not going anywhere. I really regret spending money on this overpriced food and wish I had chosen another food truck to eat.
