My family and I have been coming here for years and have experienced all the different ownerships. We were excited to see a grand "re-opening" this July 2024. Let me tell you, this is going to be whittiers newest hidden gem. Not only is the inside absolutely beautiful, but the food is amazing. Authentic Mexican dishes inspired by the owner's roots from Guadalajara.

Great mom n pop! Fair prices for big portions and yummy food. Empanadas are their specialty. I had the carnitas. Not too salty. Soft with a bit of crisp (I like carnitas crispy). Canned soda, where I'd prefer fountain drink, but hey...

Stopped with my family for a last minute dinner. The restaurant is small and humble, and I believe family owned. The chips and salsa we're fresh and the food was good to excellent! Soup was homemade with plenty of veggies (I love that), generous amount of chicken in my enchiladas and the sauce was very flavorful. The spinach empanada was amazing bty. I have no food related complaints. Only thing that bugs a little is that parking is limited and I don't like being over charged for a can of soda I will be back!

Omg chef Toño is the God of empanadas! The best most flavorful and filling flavors. Super fresh always consistent. I highly recommend! Perfectly seasoned and they ever have vegetarian options which is so hard to find. Simply the best, I cannot recommend them enough . You have to come try. I also love their salsa I've had many salsas throughout my life and I have to stay this one is the best salsa for a chip it's just so fresh and perfect spice to where you can eat so much of it lol I wish I lived closer so I can come by more often but whenever I'm in the area my dad always brings me some because he knows it's just the best. Love buen gusto! Everything here is so bomb and consisten , super hard working husband and wife duo and you can taste the authentic and exquisite chefs touch they have :)

El Buen Gusto has great enchiladas, wonderful homemade chips, and phone orders are done pretty quickly. You won't leave hungry. They're most famous for their empanadas, and I definitely recommend you try them. Get a couple as sides for your meal.

The food here is really good. Price to quality ratio is what makes this place a no brainer. The price is about 15% more then other places but the quality of meat and serving portions substantiate the pricing. I had an enchilada plate with a empanada and oh man it was delicious. I was super full but ate everything. My wife had the Asada burrito and she enjoyed it. She said the meat tasted like ribeye and seasoned really well. FYI: the albondigas soup is a hidden gem. It's flavorful and hearty with tons of veggies and delicious meatballs. I highway recommend this place if you like quality Mexican food.

This is the most delicious albondigas I have ever had. Normally even when I make it, I always add something like cilantro Or Tapatio. Never need to add one thing when I order their albondigas. It is simply the best and made with love. I can't detect the flavor combination, but is perfect. I always order this when I am sick and it always hits the spot. Please don't ever change your recipe!!

I always come to this place often when I'm in the area just for some empanadas! I really like their beef ones but today I decided to try the spinach ones too and they were also really good ! These empanadas are always so fresh and tasty , I definitely need to try all of their flavors because I know they would be just as good ! Highly recommend if you've never had a empanada or just are in the mood for one definitely stop by!
