This small restaurant tucked away in part of a car wash is a special find.

It took 20+ minutes during lunch rush but it was worth the wait! Bring your dirty car for a $30 hand wash while you wait for your food. For something this authentic, the menu was surprisingly posted also in English and the questions about the menu were answered in English and Spanish. The asada/cheese and spinach/cheese were fresh gooey and crispy on the edges. The cabbage slaw and red & green salsas were a perfect accompanyment to the rich pupusa. The asada tortas are also great choice with chopped asada on press grilled fresh rolls press grilled and slathered in fresh guacamole, black bean and lettuce/tomato. Grab an Mexican coke to wash it down and leave content. :)

My usual pupusa spot was closed today, and we were really craving pupusas for lunch. I searched…read moreYelp and decided to give Kailey's a try. I called in an order for four revuelta pupusas, which came out to a little over $4 each. The restaurant was very clean and well maintained. The woman working there seemed to be both the cashier and the cook, so I'm guessing she's the owner. She was pleasant, though not very chatty, which I completely understand since she was running the place by herself. The pupusas were tasty, and the pickled cabbage and tomato sauce on the side were both good. I just wish they had a little more filling. I'm glad I gave this place a try, and I would come back again, but I probably wouldn't choose it over my usual pupusa spot.

I ordered the revuelta, chicharron, and loroco. All delicious. They accept Zelle too.read more

My parents moved to Bakersfield a few years ago and are very loyal when it comes to food -- this is one of the very few spots they'll still order pupusas from because they're just that good. They usually call ahead for pickup, but we recently decided to dine in and I'm so glad we did. The restaurant feels incredibly homey and welcoming, with more seating than you'd expect from the outside. The staff was attentive, friendly, and made us feel comfortable right away. I'm a little picky with my pupusas and ordered a chicharrón-only pupusa (not big on cheese), and wow -- it was delicious. Super fresh, flavorful, and paired perfectly with the salsa roja and curtido, which both tasted like they're made fresh in-house. Everything came out quickly, the restaurant was clean, and the service was spot on. My family and I truly enjoyed our time here. I'll definitely be back soon with my boyfriend, and I highly recommend El Buen Sabor to anyone craving a great pupusa. A true neighborhood gem.

The desayunos with the wedge of queso fresco, crema, puréed beans, and those plantains! They have killer pupusas also that are approved by real Salvadorans. They seem to be purists and know when a pupusa is made by Honduran hands, for instance. My father tells me this factoid he learned from the ladies he's brought here. He chose the pupusas revueltas that come with chicharron, beans, and cheese. I ordered a desayuno that came with those thick corn tortilla things. So hearty & filling. It's a small hole in the wall with a kitschy appearance. They have many pan dulces, quesadillas salvadoreñas, botica products, and even soccer jerseys, for sale. I like little mom and pop businesses such as these. The gentrification going on next door actually upsets me. And I'm not the only one who's ticked off.

Initially, I just got the jalapeno y queso pupusa... but it was soooo delicious that I had to order 2 more! The curtido was delicious and paired very well w the pupusas!! The cheese was extremely stringy, melty, and oozing out of the pupusa and omg it was so delish!!! I just wish the salsa was much more spicier because it was extremely mild. I asked for raw serranos on the side to compensate for the lack of heat. The restaurant is located inside of a very small family-run store. The family running this spot is very nice. The pupusas are very cost efficient!! I won't ever find a pupusa for less than $6 back home. At Genesis, $3 for each pupusa is such a steal, you can't go wrong w that!! Highly recommend if you're craving really good authentic pupusas and trying to stay within budget. Overall, I would definitely come back!

I told my mom about it, and what a perfect little gem it turned out to be to celebrate my brother's birthday. I've been longing to eat some nostalgic food from my father's homeland, and since he is no longer with us, Ava Maria brought a little piece of him back home. The flavors and atmosphere were reminiscent of being Ecuador, and that made the experience even more special. The owner and her son were so welcoming and such a delightful duo to be around. Somehow, it makes the food taste even better because you know it comes from a place of love. I recommend Ava Maria to anyone who loves being treated with genuine kindness and hospitality and who appreciates a meal that tastes like something your father, mother, or grandparents would have cooked for you. Food made with love, passion, and the joy of watching another person delight in flavors that only someone from back home seems to know how to create. Thank you, Ava Maria, for bringing back a little piece of my father and Ecuador for an afternoon

I really wanted to like this restaurant. Ecuadorian food is one of my favorites. I ordered Guatita,…read moreEmpanada de Carne, Hayaca, and Quinbolito. The Guatita was made well with the honeycomb tripe tender yet retaining a slightly firm texture that this type of tripe will have. There were also several pieces of potato in the stew. Served with yellow rice, the guatita could use some seasoning, such as salt, as it was quite bland. A larger portion size would have been good considering the rather high price point. There were only four pieces of half inch sized tripe in the whole meal. Plantains came with the dish and were nicely prepared with slightly caramelized edges. The Hayaca was a good portion size in the banana leaf wrap with seasoned shredded chicken breast, green peppers, green olive, raisin, and a wedge of hard boiled egg. The slightly sweet cornmeal masa texture was fairly loose, resembling thin mashed potato. Overall, the Hayaca tasted good but could have used a sprinkle of salt to bring out the individual ingredient flavors. The Empanada de Carne, however, did not need additional salt. The beef filling had green olives in it which helped balance out any blandness but I did not detect any other seasonings used. The crust, however, was crispy on the edges with a nice chewy texture throughout. Quinbolito is a bread steamed in a banana leaf with a single raisin on top for decoration. I liked this very much because it was not too sweet. The texture felt light for a dense textured bread. This was a good ending for my meal. An average rating for this restaurant. The food was prepared well but overall lack of seasoning in the items I ordered was very disappointing. I had ordered the food for delivery so I cannot comment on the service and ambiance of the dining room. There was no price increase on the menu items for delivery; same price for delivery and dine-in. Boxes came well packed with no spillage. But considering the high price point of this restaurant, I may or may not return.
