El Buen Gusto Taqueria - San Jose

The food is AMAZING!! So fresh and delicious and the customer service is super good and fast. We ordered the Molcajete and shared it between two of us and it was huge and so good!!! Desert was yummm too

I have been coming here ever since i was in elementary school—i’m in college now. i keep coming back for any and all of the food; sometimes i’ll just get whatever is recommended, and it never disappoints. i can’t say whether or not the dishes are truly “”authentic,”” but i do know that everything is so well prepared and served. i always leave with an extremely happy mouth. there is always loud jubilant music, which i personally love. the staff is really kind and tries to be upbeat, despite seeming tired. the restaurant is always kept clean. chips and salsa are always provided (and they are damn good. i always get seconds . i have yet to have a bad experience here in the past ten years (i don’t even come frequently enough to be recognized, so i’m not getting pampered or anything!

I recently returned to the area and was thrilled to see that my favorite restaurant is still here and hasn't changed much. The staff is still friendly, the food is still amazing, and the salsa is even better. I'm grateful that they have been able to weather these uncertain times.

This is one of the best Hawaiian tortas I've ever had. 10/10

The highlight of this restaurant is its Tortas ahogadas, which are the best in town. However, I was disappointed when I ordered for takeout and they did not provide enough tomato sauce. They wanted to charge extra for more sauce, which seemed overpriced. I ordered four tortas and a side of crispy tacos, but they only gave us one 16 oz container of sauce, which was enough for topping the tortas but not for drowning them. The staff is usually very friendly, but on this occasion, an older lady with a bad attitude and rudeness got upset when I requested more salsa.
