The food is really good! I used to go to a different Salvadoran restaurant, but I decided to give El Buen Gusto Salvadoreño #2 a try, and I'm glad I did. The pupusas and empanadas were delicious! My only recommendation would be to improve the customer service and wait times. It took quite a while for our food to arrive at the table. I understand that good food takes time, but the wait could definitely be improved. Overall, the food is worth trying, and I hope they continue improving the service because I would love to come back! read more

If you like garlic, you have to order the Papusa Ajo (garlic). It was made fresh and was so hot that I was torn between eating and t and burning my mouth. So good! I also had the Carne Guisada (beef stew) which reminded me of grandma's pot roast but with El Salvadoran flavors. The nice folks put up with my limited Spanish and I went away stuffed. read more

Such a great experience! The food was absolutely delicious, fresh, and full of flavor. Everything we ordered tasted amazing and definitely did not disappoint. The service was also great, and the overall atmosphere made the experience even better. I will definitely be coming back and recommending this place to friends and family. If you're looking for delicious food and a great experience, this is definitely a spot to try. read more

First off I waited over an hour for cheese pupusas that barely had any cheese in them. The vegetables were very bland. I was eating straight masa a waste of time and money. read more

Every time I'm in town, I always have to stop by my favorite pupusa place! The pupusas were absolutely delicious -- fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. You can really taste the quality in every bite. The service was just as amazing as the food. The staff was super friendly and welcoming. I'll definitely be coming back and recommending this spot to friends and family. If you're craving authentic pupusas and a warm atmosphere, this is the place to go! read more

The food is pricey and not so good, specially when you find human hair on it. While you are eating they are mopping the floor with strong chemicals and now you have to swallow the food with strange smells. The waitresses take their time to serve you while they talk in the kitchen. The ambiance music is so loud that you can barely hear a conversation. read more

No one has a perfect life. Peaks and Valleys right. There was a time that the only thing that brought me some bit of comfort was a hot bowl of Sopa de Res. That was many many moons ago in a land far far away. Now my life has been mostly good but I've always searched for a good bowl of this beef soup in the East Bay. I finally found her, here in El Buen Gusto Salvadoreno. I almost cried when it sat in front of me, and a knot in my heart clenched then opened when I tasted this magnificent soup. Words do not do it justice. There is something truly magical that happens in that kitchen. read more

Went in on 7/10/2026 and the owner was very welcoming. Of course I had pupusas with pork filling and they were spot on. Hopefully in the near future I will be back to support small business and have another tasty meal. read more

So listen. I did an online order at 6:08. Said it'll be ready by 6:35. Get here the place is packed! Waited in line for about 7 minutes to let them know I was there to pick up my order. They thought I called in. Told them it was an online order. The man proceeded to tell me they just got it. I said you did not. It was placed at 6:08. Then he said oh. Right then I got a text saying it should be ready for pick up. It was not. He took the order straight to the kitchen. It's currently 7:18 and I still have no food. Never again. What happened in reality they never checked the online queue for orders. How idk. The machine is right next to the phone and cash register. read more

My wife found a great spot for pupusas due to reading the Yelp reviews. Located next to the pho restaurant. We ordered cheese and pork pupusa for takeout. They are only $4 each, but the beef pupusa is $4.50. The pupusa were huge and tasted amazing. The quantity and quality of the price was worth it! The staff are really nice. I can't wait to try the burrito and tamales next time! read more

Finally found the Pupuseria that I have been looking for! The pupusa's, salsa roja, and curtido is simply perfect with such a well balanced flavor. The Yucca Frita Con Chicharron is cooked perfectly. Not dry, crispy and tender all at the same time. Their customer service is outstanding! I've been to a lot of pupuserias where the staff can tend to be rude. But not this place! They really go above and beyond to accommodate you. Super friendly and your order comes out fairly quick. The restaraunt is really clean as well as ample parking for the whole family. The food is reasonably priced. The Augua Fresca is delicious. A little too sweet for me at times and a little pricey. But that's just my personal opinion. Overall, this place will not disappoint. Definitely try this place! read more

Please don't tell my usual pupuseria I cheated on them, but El Buen fue que bueno!!! I ordered two queso y loroco pupusas and the flavors were perfect, yummy and melted cheesy goodness with well-cooked loroco that wasn't an invisible flavor but didn't flash on you like your mom did when you were 5-years-old and went through her entire Mary Kay sales bundle to do makeovers on your friends. It was subtle, and lovingly so. I'll be back for more. read more

I have never ate in person there but always order my Popusas to go. The service is great and the food is always amazing, there are a few places closer to me but I would rather drive the few extra minutes because the food never disappoints. I'm surprised it's not more packed because service and food is great. read more

Fui con mi novio a comer algo salvadoreño como vamos ir a visitar pronto. El pidió un chile relleno pupusa y coca cola. Primero le dieron una coca de dieta aunque a ningún momento dijo diet. Después el chile relleno era tan pequeño y el arroz sin sabor. La pupusa de chicharrón llevaba tanto aceite ni se pudo comer. Los empanadas de ñeche estaban tan quemados que ya no tenía sabor aparte de lo quemado. Mi novio es italiano y dijo que nunca a ido a un restaurante hispano y comer comida tan mal. Me da tristeza porque esto es ni cultura pero nada de lo que vez en el salvador cuando viene a la comida. read more

It takes a major failure for me to leave a 1-star review. Honestly, I love the food here and appreciate the cozy, small-business vibe. But after placing an in-person takeout order today--a simple plate with two pupusas and a side of soup--it took nearly an hour to receive it. Then, I waited another 20 minutes just for fries. When I got home, I realized the curtido and salsa were missing from my pupusa plate. That's like serving a burrito without a tortilla. Sure, I should've double-checked, but it was a letdown. I'm disappointed and, unfortunately, no longer feel comfortable supporting this place. ---- Tiene que haber una falla grave para que yo deje una reseña de una estrella. Honestamente, me encanta la comida aquí y valoro mucho el ambiente acogedor y el hecho de que sea un negocio pequeño. Pero hoy hice un pedido para llevar en persona--un plato sencillo con dos pupusas y una sopa al lado--y tardaron casi una hora en dármelo. Luego esperé otros 20 minutos solo por unas papas fritas. Cuando llegué a casa, me di cuenta de que no incluyeron el curtido ni la salsa para las pupusas. Es como servir un burrito sin tortilla. Claro, debí haber revisado, pero fue una gran decepción. Estoy muy desilusionado y, lamentablemente, ya no me siento cómodo apoyando este lugar. read more

Horrible service. You call in your order ahead of time and still end up waiting in a long line while staff continue taking phone orders. I called 30 minutes in advance and still had to stand in line just to wait again for my order from the side door. This has happened multiple times, and nothing ever changes. It's extremely frustrating and feels very disorganized. If you want repeat business, the pickup process really needs to improve. read more

I arrived around 8:30pm to place an order. I ordered 7 revueltas and 12 jalapeño and cheese. I also ordered 2 pastelitos. They were very kind and had my order without a long wait. I was grateful that they accepted my order. The restaurant was clean and had a welcoming ambiance. The pupusas were delicious and they provided plenty of curtido and salsa. Thank you to the team. read more

The restaurante is authentic, is clean, however is misleading when you walk in, because you are not sure if you should just get a table or if they will tell you where to seat or if you order in the counter or if the waitress or waiter will come to you. Once we were acknowledged and got an assigned a table, the waiter brought the menus and the service was good. The food is definitely a hard five !!! They offered all kinds of authentic dishes from breakfast to dinner. I had a delicious Horchata, plátanos fritos, pupusas & empanadas one bean and one cream, everything was so good! I definitely will come back. The restaurant is cute, but not fancy is more like if you like to eat and enjoy food come to try it :) There's parking right outside and they are located next to a BOFA, & I believe they were charging stations for cars, not sure how this is relevant to the restaurant but I thought it was good to share lol read more

Used to Be Great--Now It's Just Disappointing This place used to be the go-to spot for pupusas and Salvadoran food. Unfortunately, things have gone downhill--fast. They've clearly gone through several staff changes, and you can tell. The food arrives looking and tasting different every time--like it's made by someone new who doesn't quite know what they're doing. Worst of all, it takes forever to get your food, even when you order ahead. What used to be a wait-for-it kind of place is now just a wait-and-regret-it spot. Their food was once their saving grace--worth the long wait because it tasted amazing. Not anymore. Now you're served dry, cold, overcooked food with chewy meat. The price just doesn't match the quality anymore. Honestly, I can't even recommend it to myself, let alone to friends or family. I hope they turn things around. But for now, I'm officially looking for a new Salvadoran spot, because this one hit rock bottom in both quality and taste--while the prices keep going up. Pro tip: If you're hungry, short on time, or just want to eat without waiting forever--do yourself a favor: skip this place. By the time your food shows up, you might be halfway through a bowl of pho from the restaurant next door. read more

Solid choice whenever I'm near my MILs home. Our kind server offered to let us sample the arrayan fruit juice since we didn't know what it was. It's a type of South American guava, very sweet and refreshing. I ordered my usual revuelta and loroco pupusas which were large and delicious. Husband got yucca with well cooked chicharron that wasn't dry. My mom enjoyed her beef tongue dinner plate. Curtido was very crispy fresh and generously served. This is our third time here, my mother's first and she was very satisfied. Large servings so we have lots of leftovers. Entrance is on patio you need to walk the ramp to go inside. Several tables, tv playing sports or music and a mini market at the cashiers area. read more

love the food here but there is a lady here who is so rude to people who don't speak Spanish. she talks to people who don't speak Spanish like they are stupid. it's very disrespectful when I see her laughing with people who speak Spanish but rolling her eyes when talking to me. I won't be coming back, this is my last time being disrespected by her. Specially talking about the lady with the fake colored eyes Me encanta la comida de este lugar, pero hay una señora aquí que es sumamente grosera con las personas que no hablan español. Trata a quienes no hablan el idioma como si fueran estúpidos. Resulta muy irrespetuoso verla reírse con la gente que sí habla español, pero poner los ojos en blanco cuando se dirige a mí. No volveré; esta es la última vez que permitiré que ella me falte al respeto. Me refiero, en particular, a la señora de los ojos de color artificial. read more

Great Salvadoran food! I took my son and his friend and they both liked it a lot so we will be coming back

They never disappoint! I ordered 4 pupusas, 2 de chicharron con queso y 2 de queso con loroco, de harina de arroz. The horchata tasted a little watered down but I fixed it at hm and it was soooo good I added a little milk and some sugar. My order was not ready when I arrived but I only waited about 3 mins or so after paying. This will continue to be my go to pupusa place locally. Next time I'd like to try their frijoles con platanos and sons of the Salvi cheese they sell. read more

Not sure of these long wait time reviews but service is always good(15-20 mins) especially if you call ahead. The pupusas (get it with everything) are always the best! Even a picky eater will enjoy. My family from Mississippi came to visit and they enjoyed them and they don't like to try new things. Massive and flavorful...the whole 9! Not really a fan of their sweet empanadas but I'm not Salvadoran so I wouldn't know a good one. Regardless, five stars! Last visit, ordered the platter #1 and couldn't eat half and I'm a large man. Probably enough for three people at only $25. Keep it up guys! read more

Was craving pupusas, but didn't have time to stop by any of my fav spots while in the city this past weekend. I've been here before but it's been a while, and typically order to-go. Decided to eat in and glad I did, totally satisfied my craving . I forgot how good their pupusas are! Tonight also tried their caldo de res(beef soup) it was delicious! Service was quick and server was very nice. Restaurant is kept pretty neat and clean, they bus the tables quickly after people leave. Knocked off a star because I didn't care for their rice. Will definitely be coming back for dine in the next time a craving hits. Solid spot in Pittsburg read more
