To start in chronological order, me and my mother entered this place after seeing the reviews on Google of it being a 4.3 star dine in restaurant. when we entered the door frame was broken and could open by itself and had to be closed by me and some other patron twice The food that we ordered was two taco sets one chicken and the other one chorizo when the chicken arrived it was white unseasoned, chicken, nearly pink with raw onions on top of it.
Not only that the food was cool on the outside, but Warm on the inside, same thing with the chorizo plate, which then we realize that the food was actually microwaved.
After refusing to eat the food, we handed it back the waitress who did not give us menus, but just rambled on what they were serving specifically on that day charged us $10 without actually giving us a itemized bill. They don’t seem to have any shame in serving the food they do. Please don’t go there. Don’t come to El Buen Sabor. The Google reviews are lying to you.

Shady beyond shady avoid at all costs. Dirty and no selection. Cash only says a lot more

While the food was authentic, the quality was poor and they didn't have a several items listed on the menu.

WORST DINING EXPERIENCE I’VE EVER HAD. DO NOT EAT HERE, SAVE YOUR MONEY. RATINGS ARE FAKE.When we entered the restaurant there were a number of red flags but we continued on bc of the good reviews and we were starving. Not only does the place look like a hole in the wall, but there was no one to greet us or sit us down when we entered, just stares. When a waitress approached us, she didn’t have a menu and started to ramble off selections of what they were serving “that day.” The entire restaurant was unkept and the bathroom didn’t have any soap in it despite having a sign saying employees should wash their hands. Gross. We were disgusted and wondering where the hell we ended up dining at but we kept going bc we figured maybe it was one of those places that didn’t have the best presentation but the food was authentic and good. Unfortunately things only got worse. After waiting 30 minutes I ended receiving the wrong plate bc of a confusion with the waitress. The waitress assured us that she would make a new plate of what I actually order so we waited another 30 minutes. My wife actually saw them heating up food in the microwave in the back. After an hour of waiting, the food was subpar compared to most Mexican restaurants, honestly it was on par with something you would eat at Taco Bell. We didn’t finish all the food but didn’t bother asking for a bag bc we doubted they even had any. When we received the price there was no bill or itemized list and it looked like they came up with it on the spot. The waitress said $56, I handed $80 and asked for change, planning to give a $15 tip for the extra effort of making a 2nd plate. she then handed me back $4. $76 for the worst dining experience I’ve had in my life! So essentially I feel robbed. It was either plant stupidity, charging me for the extra plate (that I didn’t even keep) or tipping themselves exorbitantly.Honestly, I didn’t say anything bc I felt the competence was so low it wasn’t even worth the argument. And also I just wanted to get the hell out of there. I rationalized thinking, well that place could probably use the money. And I would never want to talk down on a small business and fellow Latinos trying to make their way.But this place was so bad, the sanitation so disgusting and the billing was so egregious I want to warn people to not waste their time.I genuinely believe there is a chance this is some sort of front for some illegal activity bc I can’t understand how it earned a 4.4 stars on Google. In addition, some of the pictures on Google don’t even look like the same restaurant. Insane stuff and I will never go near there again.

The chicken soup here is a godsend during cold/flu season. Comes with rice and hot sauce, and you’ll want to add both to your sopa.

Don't buy anything here. They exploits the workers, also steal money from hispanic community. Whom don't have a bank account. Don't patrozine this bussiness, they sell beer on the premises without a permit, so this bussinees evade taxas.

This was our first time at this restaurant. The TV was blasting and a jukebox was playing loudly as well. We walked in about 8:15pm and after having seen the good reviews were excited to try it out. When we sat down, we were told that there was a limited menu (not a problem) and the server rattled off the 7 or so items which were all caldos. We were disappointed that there were no tacos, enchiladas or other typical Mexican antojitos available. We ordered 4 Caldos (Soups) 2 of shrimp and 2 of chicken, had 1 soda & 2 waters. All the caldos were salty and the shrimp one was with a guajillo based broth, spicy and super hot but greasy. The fresh tortillas were delicious. Then my husband was told our bill came out to $96!! He was not handed a bill, just told what was owed. How it could what we ordered cost that much?! Had I heard the conversation regarding the bill I would have requested an itemized bill, but I had gone to the restroom when my husband was paying and didn't find out what had happened until we were in the car. Both the food and the experience left a bad taste in our mouths. Very disappointing experience, that we never want to repeat again.

If you're looking for an authentic Mexican restaurant this is the place to go! The food was absolutely amazing. I had the carne enchiladas and they did not disappoint. They also brought out homemade tortillas that were warm and delicious. I will definitely be back!
The food is delicious ?, the attention is excellent, I recommend it 100%

(Translated by Google) Thank God for that place, it is not a luxurious place but the attention and humility of the girl who attended us was special and the food tasted very good homemade(Original)Gracias a Dios por ese lugar no es un lugar lujoso pero la atención y humildad de la muchacha que nos atendió fue especial y la comida muy buena sabor casero

Had the chicken and steak taco platter! Excellent. Both chicken and steak were seasoned and cooked to perfection. The tortillas are hand made from maiz (corn) and are so soft they melt like butter. Definitely a must…after a day of hanging out at the beach!!! The new addition to your beach trip. Hand made tacos!!! Give them a try! ?
