The Concourse at Comcast Center is adding to its list of gourmet-on-the-go eateries with the addition of James Beard Award-winning Iron Chef Jose Garces’ Buena Onda. The popular taqueria, inspired by the spirit and good vibes of Mexico’s Baja Peninsula, will officially open on Wednesday, December 7.

At Buena Onda at The Concourse Comcast, diners can expect the eatery’s signature casual, laid-back vibe inspired by surf towns along the Mexican coastline, with a heavy emphasis on seafood.

Menu options include their signature environmentally conscious seafood tacos, classic tacos, Buena Bowls, nachos, chips with guacamole and salsa, rice and beans, and more. Taco enthusiasts are invited to pair their meal with a selection of non-alcoholic sodas and end on a sweet note with the eatery’s trademark churros.

“We’re thrilled to be joining the Comcast Center Campus with our newest Buena Onda location in The Concourse,” says Jose Garces, Founder & Chief Culinary Officer, GARCES. “I’m honored to be engaging in this partnership with Comcast to bring our fresh tacos and good vibes to the heart of the Center City Business District. I am excited to see the Center City lunch business thrive with so many delicious options.”

Buena Onda and its story dates to 2015, when Garces launched his first-ever fast casual restaurant in Philadelphia. At the time, Buena Onda represented the 19th concept for the growing Garces collection of restaurants. The menu was designed to be Chef’s ode to fish tacos and chill vibes, with inspiration taken from Baja peninsula’s culture, seafood shacks, and taquerias.
