El buen sabor is AMAZING! We eat here at least once a week now. On Saturdays they have ceviche and boiled shrimp that can't be beat. The shrimp pops right out of the shell every single time. Walter and the crew there know how to perfectly cook the shrimp. The chicken salad tostada are out of this world good. If you are a potato salad fan try out their version. So different from what you're probably used to and delicious. I've literally had every single item on the menu and there's nothing that I would never get again.
