El Buen Gusto

It is a nice community restaurant. The food is very tasty. I had an easy but fresh made lunch here.

Poor service; the manager looks like she’s always upset. the food is ok but the service is definitely not the best.

El Buen Gusto. The Good Taste. Its a Dominican restaurant in Sunset Park. I used to frequent this restaurant in the 90’s with my sibblings, when my father had custody of us on the weekends. I remember ordering a lot of chicharon de pollo, deep fried chicken chucks, with white rice and beans. But recently I visited El Buen Gusto, not much has changed, but the taste of the food has. I ordered the roasted chicken with white rice and beans. I must say that it was tasty, the chicken fell off the bone, and it was not raw, like in other places. I loved their beans, a bit too thick for my liking, but overall good. The meal was low in sodium, which was real nice and heart healthy as well. One piece of advice for the place would go to the front counter people (this sounds weird, but you get what I’m saying). Please get your mind straight when taking orders. I was helped by at least three different women. This made the ordering process confusing, because too many hands on deck, but overall El Buen Gusto, gets a 3.5 Estrellas.

My mouth is watering just thinking about the food here. I honestly don’t understand the bad reviews here. The rice and beans is delicious! I got so fat at one point getting the breaded fried pork chops here every week. It is made to perfection, crispy in the outside, soft in the inside and packed with amazing flavor, follow it with some rice and beans and I am in heaven. I come here from time to time because it can not possibly be good for my heart, but what can I say I love me some fried meat.

Yuck. I would not recommend this place. I walked in and was ignored. Then taken to a table where the water was already poured in my glass… sitting there warm and it had floating chunks if food in it.
Then I ordered and the food was terrible. I think it is all prepared in a microwave.

Really think my friend needs to have his head checked as well as his taste buds. Came here with not much confidence because of my friends recommendation. Let me say my mother in-​law God rest her soul cooked some dam fine Spanish food.
This place does not cook dam good Spanish food. It serves terrible food!
I ordered the Pernil and Platano Maduro… O.M.G. WTF the roast pork was stuck to the plate like it was microwaved. No flavor totally a waste and the maduro was stuck together with some oil that tasted like it was old real fucking old.
My other friends were not impressed the grilled shrimp were not grilled, my friend pointed out the shrimp were literally drowning in some crazy garlic butter oil.
The board of health sign gave this place a A rating, well they deserve a F rating for serving such tasteless crap that is not worthy to let my dog eat.
