“Don't know why I didn't check this place out sooner. Food is delicious. Looks like it's closed most of the time but took a chance and stopped by and glad I did. First time I had the carne asada tacos so flavorful and the next time had the super fries. Highly recommend if you're around.“

“I've been coming to El Buen Gusto ever since it was in Pico Rivera on Slauson. I moved down to Laguna Beach when I was 18 and had not been back since. I was up on the Whittier side of town and saw this place. A lot of memories resurfaced and decided to stop for old time sake.
Our hostess was very welcoming, warming, attentive and funny. However she didn't know what non-fat water and gluten free ice was. Nonetheless, I ordered the Chilaquiles. The presentation and taste of my meal was something similar to what my grandma or my mom would plate. I'm glad I stopped by, I don't make it up here to this side of town that often yet my next trip up here will definitely warrant stopping by for a quick meal.
For those who live close by you're extremely fortunate to have El Buen Gusto in your neighborhood.
As for location they are located at the southeast corner of Beverly and Norwalk Blvd's. It's not that far off the 605 frwy. If you're heading east on Beverly Blvd it's on the right just as you cross Norwalk. If you're directionally challenged, it's right next door to weeny-dog.
You can't go wrong with the comfort food of El Buen Gusto.
Tell them I sent you....“

“Super buena me encanta tengo años consumiendo y no lo cambiaría por nada“

“I own a auto restoration shop near by and we specialize in custom upholstery and everything restoration. We come to eat here practically everyday and I always order different dishes and they are all delicious. You can never go wrong with this little gem. All their dishes have great flavors and always very filling. The people complaining about cash only and that the register lady's are rude are just complainers. They're NOT rude, just busy. There's a difference. I only care about how good all their food is. I'm an extremely busy business owner and I'm always in a rush so I don't mind if the cashiers don't strike up a conversation with me. I'm there for the food. Wonderful little spot. Always support your local businesses.

“Chose to come here very last minute after learning a different Whittier favorite restaurant had closed. We were unaware of required reservations but the owner was extremely accommodating for us to which I was truly grateful. It was an extremely busy Friday as there was a large party. The cleanliness and vibe of the establishment was amazing. There was a live band playing which added more to the first experience. Drinks and presentation were great and then the food arrived and everything was chefs kiss!! Mole chips are great but the mole negro was some of the best I have ever had. Portions are enough to share if needed. To the owner - thank you for being so accommodating. Parking here is extremely limited in the back. Street parking is the best bet.“

“I enjoyed the chili verde plate with a melon margarita very much. I use to go to the owners other restaurant Carumba's in Alhambra for over 40 years until it closed. So glad to have found their other restaurant, even if I have to drive a lot farther, it's worth it.“

“People say this spot has some of the best fast food fried chicken. So let’s see if they’re pretty good eh or ew. I got their 4 piece meal with half fried and roasted chicken, beans, plantains, and tortillas. Yall know im a bean fiend and these beans were smooth, savory, and flavorful. The plantains were sweet, soft, caramalized, and a bit tart? Not really for me. The roasted chicken was super savory, flavorful, juicy, and actually really yummy. The fried chicken was perfectly crispity crunchy and just as flavorful and juicy. Pro tip is to make a taco using the corn tortilla with all the yummy ingredients. This place is actually pretty good.

4 pc meal $16.30 before tax“

“best chicken ever tender ,juicy crunchy! mmm!“

“Great food. Great customer service“

“My husband and I just tried this place tonight and it’s so good! We ordered the revuelta, been and cheese, and plain cheese. They were all full of flavor. Would definitely come again.“

“Been coming here for years. Their tostada servings are always generous. Their rice and beans are great. Tostada mixta is my go to but I also was craving the mojarra as you can see. Everything tasted great. Small place, and the decor is very dated. But the food makes up for it. Good for to-go orders too.“

“Food is good. Drinks too, place is smaller inside than expected. Awkward layout but decorated modern and for those who like to Instagram. Service is good no complaints, it's not the cheapest eats but I've ate here a few times now and I'd still come back.“

“My first visit definitely won’t be my last! Had a fun night drinking with my friends, great music, employees from the bartenders to the security were all friendly but professional. Also lost my wallet there but it was turned in by one of the employees, appreciate their honesty. Highly recommend!“

“Seriously, the Best Pupusas around! always lots of fillings in them. Great Customer service. Very Friendly staff. My only go to for the best Pupusas. Well done!“
