“We loved this place. The empanadas are fresh hot out the oven. Beautiful patio outside to enjoy your empanadas.”

We are proud to serve handmade, fresh baked, authentic Argentinian empanadas out of our restaurant in Santa Barbara.

about our empanadas

At Buena Onda we are dedicated to quality and true to tradition, offering authentic Argentinian empanadas handmade and freshly baked from our oven to your table. As a family owned and operated business, we take pride in creating a flavorful taste that is both foreign and familiar. With respect to our ingredients, we use only grass-fed, free-range poultry, and locally sourced produce to ensure that our commitment to quality can be tasted in every bite. Inspired in South America and desired in Santa Barbara, Buena Onda is honored to represent its old country in its new community. (our mother says we’re the best restaurant in Santa Barbara)

We bake food that makes you feel like family. If you want to bring people together around our empanadas, whether it be a small gathering or a large event, we can cater to your needs. Using our beautiful wood-fired oven, we can bake our empanadas fresh and serve them hot, mixing aromas and ambience to create a night to savor. Visit our Event Space or Catering page for more information or fill out this contact form so we can get in touch with you.

Buena Onda catered the wedding of our daughter and son-in-law in October and we are still getting compliments on the delicious food and beautiful presentation. Thank you for helping to make their special day so perfect!

Incredible empanadas! Picked them up right at our designated time, they were warm and savory. Love the Chimichurri and spicy dip. Definitely going to be a holiday tradition.

The empanadas are amazing — and so is the rest of the menu. They catered a family event for us and it went so well, we had them back to cater a company event. Love these guys!
