Taqueria El Buen Gusto & Best Menudo

Cannot speak highly enough of this place. Taqueria Buen Gusto is the real deal; a phenomenal hole-in-the-wall family-ran taqueria that delivers amazing food every time. I come in for Al Pastor Super Burrito every chance I get, but have also loved their Carnitas. Great seafood. Menudo on the weekends, right when you need it!

Food was super good! Great portions and very nice customer service

I've passed by this place many times but never stopped. Mostly because it's in a small shopping center with very little parking. A friend invited me for lunch though so I finally got to try it. I entered a utilitarian interior and was greeted by friendly people who got my order done fairly quickly. Prices are on the high side for a hole-in-the-wall but decent for Santa Barbara. I ordered the tacos al pastor plate. It was pretty good, with fresh ingredients and lots of food. I tasted my friend's crispy mashed potato tacos and they were really good. Wouldn't mind having them again. There are better places on Milpas, some of them a hole-in-the wall, and some of them more upscale but there's nothing to complain about here. The food is good.

This has been my favorite restaurant my whole life. It’s been a place for comfort food during hard times, and great times, or just time times. The staff here is so nice to my son and friends, and their kindness goes a long way to me. Thank you!

Easy to find, off-street parking, inside dining or take-out. Large menu - leans more towards authentic Mexican than Mexican-American... Lots of seafood. The prices seemed high for the portion size and restaurant quality/condition, however the food was very fresh, the beer was cold, and the service was quick. Definitely geared towards a neighborhood or drop-in crowd - not a date, destination. Almost forgot - breakfast burritos are the opposite of lunch and dinner. Priced moderately, with a larger portion 😋
