The passion of sharing great food is evident in the chefs hands. From the bottom to the top, the menu is Superb. El Buen Gusto is truly a gem. Awesome customer service and top shelf menu items. This is not your everyday run of the mill TexMex cafe. Although they are more than generous in accommodating many requests to please the customer. The true gems are the delicious menu options and fresh made to order food that places this cafe above the rest. Be warned this place is habit forming!!!!!
Friendly staff and quick service. The coffee was great and they have the best homemade tacos. We really loved their chicharrón en salsa verde, chorizo & egg, and bacon & egg tacos. The red salsa was great too, I couldn't decide which one I liked best. We'll be sure to visit next time we are in town.
This place is great! Took the family here for after church breakat, and it was a hit with everyone!! Definitely coming back!! Menudo and chilaquiles were pretty much "just like ama made it" quality!
We had the chicken enchiladas and fajitas. Both were very good. Service was top notch. Small but very good food.
They made me a California burrito and it was fantastic. Carne asada, fries, quacamole and cheese, just like the ones in San Diego! Alfredo is the man!
Love it, love it, love it! Family owned and some of the best food around anywhere in this town! When i brought in my whole family of 18 people at Christmas they made us feel like family! We eat here at least twice a week!
This place is soooo good!!! If you love good Mexican food then you need to visit El Buen Gusto!!!
Great tortilla soup, super tacos, and phenomenal service!!�
Best homemade Mexican food in the Braun Station / Northwest Crossing neighborhood. Family run. Small. Not fancy. No bar. Just really great food.
Awesome food, and best service! Go and try it soon!
We’ve driven by this place a few times and finally stopped in for dinner today. Our server, Alfredo, was so friendly and gave us very good recommendations. The food was all really good - my husband got the guisada plate and I got flautas. I also like that they fry their own chips and offer a few different homemade salsas.
UPDATE this place is still amazing!
Awesome little place! Family owned and operated. Small dinning area, about nine or ten tables. So get here early... I had the Supreme omlette, simply amazing with lots of flavors! My wife had the Greene chilaquiles... The corn chips used were crispy and very flavorful! Service was great, never had to ask for coffee. Overall I will definitely be back and recommend El Bueno Mexican Cafe for all to try!
Been here a few times for breakfast when ever i get a chance and it never disappoints the food is cooked fresh so you have to wait a bit,small place,family owned but the food is delicious and worth the wait,service is awesome and priced is just right again everything is cooked fresh
Chorizo and Egg taco was Exceptional! I'll definitely order two next time.
The crispy potatoes were perfect. The red homemade salsa/hot sauce is my favorite at the moment. Small family friendly restaurant. Check it out.
Hands down the best chilaquiles, corn tortillas and carne guisada in town!
Supreme and meat lovers omelets were awesome! Potatoes, salsa and chips were some of the best I’ve had. Service and employees all very accommodating and friendly. Best place I’ve been to in a while!
That moment when you peel open the foil and know instantly you’re about to experience the truth.
The subtle golden glow of the homemade corn tortillas makes one believe, if only for a moment that the aluminum is gilded and you’ve been bestowed a glimmering glimpse of heaven…
El Buen Gusto Café in San Antonio
Outstanding Pastor and if there’s a more perfect Migas taco, i want to know where.
Such a sweet and homey restaurant! If you want authentic mom and pop food with a Hispanic flair you ha e to eat here. The prices are great. The staff is friendly and the food is amazing.
This place is absolutely delicious! The staff is super friendly. I’m the Mix Grill was so damn good. The grilled queso fresco had my tastebuds dancing. My husband loved the tacos Al Pastor. He was in love with the pineapples in the meat at no extra charge. We’re from Austin and there’s always a $2 up charge for adding pineapple. Definitely a hidden gem.
Our favorite place, so don't come Wednesday or Sundays limited seating lol
Seriously since when do pics and reviews go beyond expectations! Well this is the place. Never mind the friendly excellent service. Your taste buds will match up with these amazing dishes. I need to go again and try lunch. 🤩 We truly enjoyed our Breakfast and warm hospitality. Thank you Buen Gusto!
Tiny place...but huge flavor, and they're so kind! Barbacoa was delicious! All the salsa's were unique and so good. I loved the mole chicken and their sides were also yummy! Great place! Hope they get a larger space soon because there isn't much space...but order it to go and you won't be disappointed!
The staff was very friendly. The food was absolutely flavorful. The salsa had the perfect amount of kick to it. The lemonade is fresh and has the perfect sweet to tart ratio. 10/10 recommend.
One of my few go to places here in San Antonio. The food and service have been amazing everytime. So far I've gotten the wet burrito with al pastor each time and it is beyond epic, though I did get to try the enchiladas and al carbon, everything being awesome. Also, their salsa is different from I'm used to, but really delicious. I can't wait to go back and try some other items on the menu. If you're ever in the area and craving some So-Cal Mexican food, check this place out.
I was a regular at the Jalisco taco up the street until I stepped in here. Wow, this is a awesome food.
Much better food than the two locations up the street.
Up the street is good, however, I like? better.

Literally, the best mole I have ever had in my life. I am O B S E S S E D. I brought this home for dinner for my sister who’s lived in multiple parts of South America, and my family from Tucson. We have eaten SO much mole as a family. At various price points. And this ranks among the best. All of us were stunned. As far as myself and my husband are concerned this was THE best.
Two of the many people at this point I have bought this for said they didn’t even like mole before they had this. Which usually would make you wonder about its authenticity- I promise you, it’s authentic and incredible.
We have had other bits and pieces and I love it. The staff is kind and lovely, the food is thoughtful and authentic and never overly greasy. It’s perfect. And it’s NOT Tex mex. As a Latina woman who used to live in an area known for its incredible Mexican food, I am just so stoked beyond stoked that none of their food is smothered in that fake “queso” half the places here are obsessed with.
I cannot recommend them enough. El Buen Gusto is officially the one place so far that I HAVE to bring people by when they visit. Please, give them a shot. You won’t be disappointed!
A little hidden, but there's a reason the review is as good as it is.
Carne Guisada was great, and the enchiladas were also excellent. Corn tortillas were hot and tasty. Whole place is great!
Not a ton of seating inside, but that's okay. It's the perfect spot.
I love this restaurant!! I’m from El Paso, Texas and it’s so hard for me to find restaurants that are close to authentic Mexican food in San Antonio. Tex mex isn’t my thing. After discovering this place, this is my go to! Family owned business, and the family is from California so it explains the authenticity from their food. To all my chicanos, this is close to home.
Cool place, great food and an amazing hole in the wall that's I've ignored for year! Glad I finally gave it a shot, the only reason it doesn't get 5 stars is cause they have a fly problem.
