Nothing fancy, but a brightly colored and clean cafe. The food was absolutely delicious, and very plentiful. We all went away stuffed. Very good prices, good service and the food was delivered quickly and piping hot. We (3 of us) really liked this place and most definitely will be back! I highly recommend this place without any hesitation about anything.

Fantastic place for delicious and authentic Central American cuisine. The portions are giant, the food is fresh and there are almost 60 dishes on the menu. The prices are reasonable and the service is great. Quickly has become one of our favorite places in Utica.Pictured are their Fajitas and the Churrasco Guatemaltico. Both were great and served with thick corn tortillas

First time there and it was delicious! The menu is loaded with good Mexican and Salvadorian favorites. We are new to the Salvadorian food so we need to try more. As for Mexican cuisine, we are from the Southwest and it is on point.Parking: Parking is limited to the street and a small lot next to the building.

A extremely nice little Mexican restaurant. I worked in Mexico City before moving to Central NY over 50 years ago. Really good Mexican food has been scarce in Central NY until the past 10 years. I've added El Buen Gusto to my list of 1/2 dozen great Mexican spots between Rochester & Schenectady. El Buen Gusto has a lot of breakfast choices & in three visits there everything was excellent. Quick, friendly service & reasonable prices! A+

It’s tasty food but very dry meat. Other than that it was good.

The Central American food is tremendous. My entree was huge and so flavorful. Th restaurant was busy but service was very quick. The value of the meals is great for what you pay.

This is easily the best Mexican food I've had since I was stationed in Southern California near San Diego. 10/10 would recommend. My chimichanga was $12 and I would have felt like I got my money's worth if it was $24.

We ordered two chimichangas.One chicken one beef. Both packed. Both meals came with rice and a salad. The portions for both meals are definitely well worth the price. We were satisfied with the meal and will return again. A must stop.Sorry, no photo this time, I was busy eating ?
