El Buen Gusto Taqueria - San Jose

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.

Came here on a Wednesday morning around 9:20 am and there were no other customers there.There were two people working in the kitchen. One of the two employees took our order which was the breakfast burrito. That was enough for two people would love to come again. maybe when there is more people

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

Let's begin my emphasizing my review is about primarily food. My adventure was solely takeout, and I won't review them about politeness or ambiance.For $10.49, the super burrito with carne asada (see image for scale) is a decent value. However, it's not a particularly memorable experience. The carne asada has got no crisp, it's more gray than brown, and the other contents of the burrito really add up to an experience similar to any run of the mill taco truck that you might see at a construction site. Contents were evenly dispersed, and thankfully it was not 90% rice (see cross section image). By itself the burrito was bland, and the salsas it came with were necessary for a flavorful bite. Tortilla wrap is warmed but does not have that gentle crisp that elevates every burrito.Food was out pretty quick after I ordered, so I'd say it's optimal for an on-the-go lunch.3 stars for a successful burrito. Nothing that amazed, nothing that ruined.
