Disappointing Turnaround - Great Potential, Terrible Service and Quality Control…read more We had a great experience during our first couple of visits and for that, they get a couple of stars. Even though their signature dishes are Salvadoran, we order their traditional tacos, and they were easily a 5-star experience. Unfortunately, our visit today literally and metaphorically left a bad taste in our mouths, and we will not be returning. My wife and I ordered our usual four tacos each. The moment we both bit into the Al Pastor, we immediately looked at each other in shock, the meat tasted foul. Wanting to give them the benefit of the doubt, I figured they might just not sell their pork as often, but it was bad enough that it should never have been served in the first place. The real issue was how management handled it. I brought the matter up to a female staff member, and then to a male staff member who stepped in because she didn't understand me. Instead of handling the feedback professionally, the gentleman defensively questioned if I even "knew how marinated pork tasted" and then gave us the cold shoulder. I explicitly told them I was still going to pay our bill in full; I just wanted to alert them to a potential food safety issue. There was no apology, no courtesy offer, and absolutely no accountability. They simply went into denial and thought we didn't know the difference between marinated pork and spoiled meat. To top it off, when I went to pay the bill, the same man pointedly told me I needed to select a tip option on the screen before I could tap my card. While I normally have no issue tipping, I was in utter disbelief at the audacity to push for a tip after such a defensive and unaccountable interaction. I genuinely hope their kitchen and pantry hygiene are up to standard so no one gets sick, and I wish them well. However, they completely lost a customer today due to poor quality control and even worse customer service.

We've been craving Salvadoran food, and someone recommended Buena Fe to us. So happy we decided to…read moregive it a try because everything was delicious! We ordered a few different dishes, but the chicken was definitely my favorite! It was so flavorful and cooked perfectly. The pupusas were amazing too, but unfortunately I was too busy eating to remember to take a picture lol. The service was incredibly friendly, and the restaurant was clean and welcoming. You can tell they really care about their food and customers. So happy we found this place! We'll definitely be back. Funny enough, I accidentally left my purse in the booth after dinner, so I guess I'll be making another trip tomorrow sooner than expected lol.

YUM! Buena Fe knows what's up! Starting off with the pupusas. Hot, cheesy deliciousness and the…read moreCole slaw that it comes with it is out of this world! Such an unexpected flavor explosion of tanginess and spiciness. The orange sauce that comes with it (one spicy and one not) didn't have much flavor on its own, but when drizzled over the slaw on the pupusa was phenomenal!! Onto the chicken quesadilla which has onion, cilantro, and tomato's inside. Huge portion exploding with flavors. The salsa is also very good and cilantro-y. I really enjoyed the Salvadoran rice on the side. Different flavor than Spanish rice with some veggies in it. Kinda buttery flavor. Also enjoyed the beans! The restaurant itself is a little dark and empty. Seems like they mostly do carry out here but I think you can still dine in. The man working the register was super nice and encouraged us to get the pupusas - and I'm glad he did! I've heard great things about the steak tacos and will be back to try them.
