Jose Garces’ second location of his Baja-themed taqueria, Buena Onda, is due to open Friday, Nov. 24 in the Savor food hall at King of Prussia Mall. Mall-goers last week saw a temporary sign at the former location of The Taco Truck in the corner, reading “Bueno Onda coming soon.”

Mall representatives at the time would not say definitely if it was Garces’ operation, despite the misspelling. Garces’ people confirmed the impending opening (recently), writes Michael Klein for philly.com.

The menu will include fish, shrimp, carnitas, and chicken tacos, plus Mission-style quesadillas. Tacos and chicken quesadillas are on the kids menu. The location will serve soft drinks. Fifty cents from every guacamole and bottled-water purchase will go to the Garces Foundation.

To date, he’s opened nine restaurants in Philadelphia — Amada, Olde Bar, Tinto, Distrito, Village Whiskey, Volvér, Garces Trading Company, JG Domestic and Buena Onda — and six more across the country. In 2009, he won the prestigious James Beard Foundation’s “Best Chef Mid-Atlantic” award and in the same year, Chef Garces competed on and won Food Network’s hit show The Next Iron Chef.
