We used to come here back in 2019-2020 and they used to be really good. Unfortunately, they started adding potatoes to their pupusas. When I brought this up to them, they initially denied putting potatoes in them, and then the next time stated that that's the way they've always made them... I've never seen potatoes in pupusas prior to this. It was most likely a filler since cost, but they also raised the cost to almost double, and taste declined. 1/10 do not recommend. Best pupusas are at Mi Chalateca if that's why you're here. read more

Never had Salvadoran food, but if this place is my introduction to it... I'm pretty sure I'm up for more now! A friend of mine recommended this place, and I've seen a few recipes of pupusas but never had them so I decided to try them before I tried my hand at making them. How do I describe these pupusas? They were like...these wonderful, corn based flat breads, with fillings of whatever your heart desires. I had the chicharron and queso (pork skin and cheese), and the queso and fajitas (cheese and beef). And ohmygod. So so good! My favorite was most definitely the queso and fajitas, but the chicharron had its own perk too. It also came with chips and queso, bean dip, salsa, and two different sauces. One was a hot sauce - which was terrific, not super spicy and hit the right flavor. And the other was tomato. Mix the queso and the hot sauce my friends - you will thank me later when the chip you eat is bathed in a glorious mix of the two. The pupusas also came along with this fermented cabbage relish which I found out was called curtido. And man. That relish...if I didn't stop myself I'd have heaps of it without a second thought. Anyway - all in all, fantastic service and even better food. Price is definitely affordable, so go on ahead and try this place out! read more

El Buen Gusto - Carne asada. - Salvadoran Near Me

El Buen Gusto is well-named. Come here for reliably delicious Salvadoran fare in a basic, but comfortable spot. The elote tamales are sweet fried corny heaven, and the pupusas are giant and served with bottomless curtido (the lightly fermented crisp cabbage), which is good for me, because I like a LOT of curtido, okay? The aguas frescas (the homemade juice drinks) are delicious; I recommend the tamarind. The prices are incredibly reasonable, especially considering the quality and generous portions, and the vibe is always friendly and relaxed. Every time I eat here, I think, "I should come here more often." read more

The service was not the best, the food could've been better as well. Just wasn't impressed at all

So today's service was the worst. The ladies are rude, they don't own up to their mistakes. Saying there's a sign that indicates to ask if you don't want loroco. I clearly stated only mines with loroco.. for the kids ONLY WITH QUESO CON FRIJOL. Why because kids don't like greens stuff on their pupusas. But all of the pupusas were made with loroco when I specified with details. The lady in the kitchen presumptuous said that I didnt clarify. Although on the ticket clearly only two out of 8 said L for Loroco. Customer service here is very bad now. Not like before were they use to be. They didn't want to honor what I came here for all the way from Lawton. They wanted to charge extra although the waitress made the mistake. read more

they charge you 10% for no service if you have food to go and $15 for dinning in. Don't order chicken soup cause they don't serve you no veggies only water with rice. Their pupusas are far away from being an authentic salvadoreñas pupusas. Im not coming back. They charge $10 for a small bag of chips and queso. I recommend that pupusas from a restaurante call Miche Ice their pupusas are soo good. Son unos grandes estafadores read more

Read in another Yelp review that the address was actually 2100 W I 240 Service Rd, so I guess the restaurant moved for an upgrade... In Plaza 74 Nice spacious restaurant with attentive service They give you a fresh spicy salsa, a puréed bean dip, & quest dip to munch on as you order AHHHHH Had the chicken tamales & they were delicious & soft with potato in it Had the corn pupusas 2 revuelta (chicharron, bean & cheese) 1 chicken and cheese- sooo tasty, the cheese was delicious and the chicken was noticeably seasoned And I definitely cannot forget the delicious aquas Frescas or fresh fruit juices. They have such a large selection of fresh juices: pineapple, mango, guava, horchata I got the delicious watermelon juice and it was huge (like 32oz) I was skeptical about this Salvadoran food since it's in the Midwest and all but it was SO AUTHENTIC that some of the employees only spoke Spanish, but there was at least 1 waitress who spoke English Very happy with the food it was delicious, authentic, fresh and filling read more

Food was so greasy , I was told food is cooked daily but the plantains were dry and nasty. Pupusas are huge and don't look appetizing. I heard good things about it but I was very disappointed I ordered an order of cream and beans and they brought it after my husband had finished eating . Customer service is the worst I've had in years. read more

Friendly wait staff, good food service is a little slow. I would recommend eating here, the food is authentic outside of the the chips with queso that they offer you. The popusas are fresh and taste like the do in El Salvador. They have traditional Salvadoran drinks like enslada which are very refreshing. I recommend coming here just make sure your not in a hurry because the food comes out really slow. read more

First off let me say this is the type of place you go to when you want something different but delicious. Salvadoran food is not the same as Mexican food. That's not to say it's not good it's just not your typical fajitas, burritos and enchiladas place. I went personally for the pupusas, which are like corn tortillas filled with anything you may choose be it beans and Queso, meat or chicken. (Not the same as a Gordita. Pupusas are not open they're completely closed and they seem to have Manteca that is lard in the masa and Gorditas don't. And when you cook them on a comal they have a crisp and soft bite.)They have a lot more to choose from I just can't recall now. If you don't know which one to try start with a simple bean and Queso it's simply tasty. They bring a type of salad/relish to accompany it and a couple salsas that have more of a taste than a spice which is still good. I had a dish their tonight which I can't remember exactly what it's called because I'm sorry my phone died so I couldn't take pictures for you or anything. It was fried chicken and rice with a side of lettuce, tomatoes and cucumber and a bowl of vegetables in chicken broth soup with a touch of mint and fresh made corn tortillas. I would know I make corn tortillas and this is about the only place that makes them fresh like that. I would have given this place 5 stars if it wasn't for a couple of important things. 1. There was one waitress there for 7 tables. I don't know but I've been here before and the last time they only had one waitress also. Now we probably waited for her to bring my husband his water for 20 minutes then waited another 7 for her to bring mine. She forgot my kids waters at which point I didn't care to ask anymore I just shared with them because the hubby was pretty annoyed. 2. She brought out the food at different times. My husband got 2 pupusas and waited until he was almost through with the second until she brought out the relish that comes with it. My little ones shared one pupusa. Then I received my plate which we ended up sharing because I was eating off of his in the beginning. He had ordered another plate which was the bananas fritos or fried plaintains and finally got that after 20 minutes of eating. If you want to eat there which again it's delicious, give them a chance by showing up before you're actually hungry because maybe fresh made food takes longer to cook. I'll give you that. But bring a bottled water just in case they still have one server on staff taking care of the whole restaurant and it takes 20 minutes just to get drinks. I wasn't starving so I kind of blew this all off but my husband was not at all pleased with the service. The food was great as it was last time. Once this week I even tried calling yet they never answered. That happened while we were there eating the phone just kept ringing but the poor girl was by herself she couldn't clone herself fast enough to help herself. It just seems this place needs to hire more people! That's why El buen gusto I can't give you 5 stars. read more

First of all if you decide to go Take a jacket! Its Alaska inside that place They have a lot of awesome Salvadorian drinks ! Like Cebada, Marañon, Ensalada and much more ! Obviously Horchata too. After you pick your drink READ THE MENU VERY CAREFULLY! We ordered 3 Pupusas Revueltas or Mix which is Beans,Cheese, Chicharron (Pork) And 3 With beans and cheese and 3 Just CHEESE They took 43 minutes to give is our food But THATS OK I mean we were so excited and looking at the other menu items that we didn't notice the time. When got our food the Mix pupusas had Loroco if you are Salvadorian YOU KNOW THAT LOROCO DOESNT COME IN THE MIX (REVUELTA) PUPUSAS Unless you order it. Im allergic to loroco so trust me I know. Then when I told the lady she took them back and gave back with them after 5 minutes saying that she couldn't change them and that we had to pay for the extra ones. The server got a really bad attitude after that and didnt check on us , our drinks or nothing. We had such HIGH EXPECTATIONS about this restaurant . read more

PUPUSAS GALORE! I have found HEAVEN. I love anything latin American food related. El Buen Gusto is the Pupusaria you have been missing out on if you like Latin-American food. There are so many options and the beans and chips and salsa are the BOMB! I love this place. It's pretty far from me so I only get to go once in a while but this place is amazing. Last I heard they were moving soon! read more

Very disappointed! Prices are a little high for the food not to say tip is added for you at the time of paying. Their horchata is weird and terrible. If you are willing to pay 60 dollars for 5 people in a place with bad service go for it. read more

Let's start with the good - the food was good, it wasn't anything spectacular but it was decent (full disclosure - I've never had Salvadoran food before so I had nothing to compare with). We had an appetizer and 2 meals. Mine was good, I think it was a little skimpy on the meat especially for a $14 plate but I got full with the help of chips and rice. My girlfriend liked hers but again, nothing spectacular. We had some of their flavored water with with fruit and it was really good. Now the bad - the atmosphere is 2 of 10 at best. It doesn't get any more plain than this. Reminded me of a cafeteria. And the worst part - the service. Words cannot express how bad it was. Horrible combination of attitude and ineptitude. Only one waitress and she didn't speak English so she brought a lady from the kitchen to translate. She brought us one water (I guess to share) after several times asking she brought us a second one about halfway through the meal. Our appetizer came out about 15 min after our meals were at the table. Our meals came out about 3-4 min apart (it was just 2 of us) so I just had to sit there and stare at my meal and empty water cup while we waited for my gf's meal. The waitress actually scoffed at me when I asked for a second basket of chips. Also, they don't clean tables at this place, place is so big so they keep sitting tables and leave the dirty ones dirty. All in all, the food was average and the experience was horrible! read more

My favorite pupusa joint in town -- hands down. Clean atmosphere; beautiful Salvadoran food. Try the aguas frescas -- they're made fresh on site. Don't expect good English skills from the staff. (But, hey, babycakes, you're not here to read Spenser's poetry and discuss the novels of Henry James.) New location on S. Western, just off I-240 -- the one on SW 29th Street closed several years ago. read more

Amazing. Clearly fresh and w little too hot salsa for this gringo. Pupusa was awesome. Wife got tamales. Bistec was amazing and the tortillas with it made the meal. Got a Pina agua fresca. Wife got one that I'm pretty sure was hibiscus. Waitress gave us some in small cups for tasting. tamarind, Mango, watermelon and cebada. All delicious. Only tiny complaint were that the chips weren't ftesh made in house. But literally a tiny complaint. Also got the milk empanadas . It was way too much food but totally worth it. Definitely coming back read more

I was wanting some pupusas yesterday, so we decided to try this place. We walked in and left immediately. Inside it was not clean and the containers of slaw on the tables looked like they had been sitting there for a very long time. Never going back. read more

Palettes (Mexican style popsicles) which are made from chunks of all different kinds of fruits and coconuts are the main staple of this Mexican style ice cream and fruit eatery. palettes are often milk based but also fruit juice based. Deliciousness on a stick. I had my coconut palette dipped in dark chocolate and then rolled in salted chunks of salted cashews for only .25 cents extra!! And it rocked!! They even had a kiwi palletta!! Over 75 different pallets flavors and then you can have all types of extras added to the outside right befor you're served!! Clean, comfortable tables and chairs, great friendly service, ample parking, the take a card. If you've never ventured into what we affectionately call "LITTLE MEXICO" you are missing out on some super food, cheap services, great freinds service, some cheap electronics, seafood, and just general prices that vastly increase and stretch your dollar!! Some places take cash only, many take cards as well. read more

Very good food. The best tortillas I have ever had. Go here instead of the Tex-Mex that is taking over Oklahoma. Buen Gusto is much more authentic. read more

Yes, yes, yes. Straight from a Latin mommas kitchen. I'd missed food so unamericanized, new word for authentic. If you like flavorful food, cute waitresses and actually hot hot sauce then get you some. read more

After passing by many times while driving down the road, the family and I decoded to stop in to try the pupusas. Even though the restaurant itself was empty I was pleased with how authentic it looked...it even smelled like fabuloso! We ordered our food to go. Although the wait was longer than I would have liked, we got our food and went home. The pupusas themselves were large and AMAZING! The curtido was delicious as well. Over all very good place. read more

Papusas! They have an egg and been breakfast plate that is homey and filling! Mmm fried plantains!

Nobody speaks English, I can't read Mexican so I ordered a random item off the menu. I have no idea what it was, it didn't have any flavor. There isn't any decorations and the atmosphere has the charm of a county jail. read more

Lovely, freshly prepared Salvadoran plates, excellent and friendly service, immaculate dining room and kitchen. Not fast food, so don't expect to dash in and out... But prep time wasn't unreasonable either. Worth the wait! Delicious! read more

Pupusas are amazing!!!!!!!! Tamales were good as well!!!!! Service was good and place was very clean and looked great!!!!

Found this place while looking for an Army/Navy surplus store. Didn't find that but this was even better. A culinary journey to Central America with some of the most unique ingredients you will see outside of an Andrew Zimmern episode. Inexpensive and delicious pupusas that are far different from Honduran or other Latin American cultures. This is the place to go for pupusas in OKC and possibly the entire Sooner State. Remember, cash only! Solamente dinero read more

Ok food considering it's Oklahoma. Their address changed and it's now at 2100 SW 74th St. Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Oh and they do take card!

Since it was early in the day, there was only one other customer in the restaurant. The wait time was ridiculous! After begin walked to my seat, I sat by myself at the bar area for 10-15 minutes before anyone came over to start the order. The carne asda was... weird. I've never had Salvadorian food, but every carne asada I have ordered has been thin cut marinated beef - not a chunk of uncut, bland, rubbery meat. The pre-meal food, salsa and queso with chips were out-of-this-world amazing, which is the only reason I can rate this place two stars. read more

I give this place one star because you have to, otherwise I wouldnt be able to leave a review, the food wasn't that good, I ordered Caldo the pata, it took a very long time, and the pata (cow feet) was so hard even the vegetables were hard, and it was $13.00 my husband order a popusa he said it was ok, my kids order Aguas fresca, it's a mix of fresh fruit, water and sugar, they didn't like it was too sweet. Services was horrible the waitress was very slow she was eating while taking care of us, never check on us. This place it is very expensive for the quality of food and service. I recommend the Mexican store in moore ,Morelos by the savation army on i-35 and 12 st (621 N Moore Ave) the have good food for a very good price they have tables for you to eat there, you can also take to go, nothing fancy but at least you get good food! It's not salvadorian food, but taste better that the food at that restaurant and you don't have to wait for 35 minutes read more

If you've never tried Salvadorean cuisine, you're depriving yourself of a great meal. If you don't live in south OKC, it's worth the drive. The next time you're considering going out for Mexican, make the leap to Central American. You won't be sorry. read more

This restaurant has a very cold, plain interior. I mean literally cold! I think the only heat in this place was what was coming from the kitchen. The food was mediocre for the prices they charge. The chicken and beef in the dishes was chewy and overcooked. The pupusas were over grilled and you could barely cut through them with a knife. Not a very good way to introduce OKC to Salvadoran food. read more

I have never had Salvadoran food before and decided to stop by for lunch. The restaurant is pretty large and open and very clean. The waitress was very nice and recommended a few items. The Aqua Fresca was so good, I had the pineapple. All the food was delicious and unique. Prices were very reasonable. I would recommend read more

Extremely slow service even tho they were not busy at all. The food we were served was overcooked, dry and flavorless. I asked what type of fish it was and neither waitress could tell me. When asked how the meal was I answered honestly that it wasn't very good, which was evident by the amount left on our plates. Her only comment was you can pay over there. Seriously, I considered refusing to pay. It was that bad and there was no attempt at making the experience pleasant. I felt like we were interrupting their break or something. read more

Food was well-seasoned, ingredients fresh, cold food served cold, warm food served warm, waitress friendly. Someone has spent a lot of money on the outside decor in particular. Price was high: $8 for a pupusa; $15 for a dinner plate. The menu was poorly translated; the waitress did her best, but could not describe some menu items in English. Wait time was LONG. My impression was that this is a family-owned and operated business whose members have spent a lot of money and are trying hard to deliver a taste of what the food is like in their homeland, but the restaurant will not survive without consultation outside the family circle. This family means well, but they have no idea what restaurant patrons here expect and need from them. read more
