1 Buen Sabor Sunnyside Reviews
Best food, best service, best expresso coffe and most beautiful woman servants in Queens! Very friendly atmosphere! Truly recommend this place!
My favorite place to go is 1 Buen Sabor, where I am treated like family. Many of the muchachas call me by name. Two or three days a week I eat comida — rice, beans, and plantain with a selection of meat entrées on the hot steam table. The soups are on another level; I suggest the chicken soup for newbies — comes with rice and fresh cilantro. The bakery products are delicious! Simple and fresh. The coffee is mucho rico! I drink mine black — strong and flavorful, never bitter like other chains nearby.
The food and the girls who work here are the best!! It’s a Sunnyside staple. You must come!!!
Whenever I'm in New York, I have to stop by this joint. A small spot filled with everything your pallet desires and more. From sweets to delicious finger foods and hands down the best croissants outside of Manhattan made fresh every day. The food is amazing and always fresh. The Salmon is a must have and before you leave grab a variety of empanadas. You will not be disappointed. Shout out to the staff at 1 Buen Sabor. I love you guy's. Can't wait to visit again. 😍
Three kinds of empanadas - not bad! Tried the strawberry spongecake, strawberry cheesecake and the carrot cake. Would definitely go for the first choice again! Also love their cappuccino and usually a place to sit in
Coffee is good here! Good service as well! Enjoy!
Food is alright I've had better Colombian food. The counter is so high though, but I'm 5'2. I usually get take out. They are pricey in my opinion
Food are comfort food. I enjoyed it. Service is questable. I talked to two staff. One ingored me, and the other one was ok and took my order. I think many staff don't speak English therefore they tried to ignore English speaking customers... Anyway my guess only.
The food is really good, but the staff act like they’re better than the customers. They treat people poorly, and if you come often and don’t leave a tip, they give you smaller portions or just ignore you. It’s disappointing, because the food deserves better service.
Thank you for taking the two Spanish people that clearly came after us to order and completely skipping us. I could clearly see and feel that it was 100% intentional. Will never be going back to you guys 👍
Noise Complaint Regarding AC/Heat Units – 311 Notification Javier Lopez, an owner of El Buen Sabor, I am writing to formally address an ongoing issue concerning the excessive noise produced by the AC/heat units within the building. For the past [duration], the noise has become increasingly disruptive, particularly during the evenings and early mornings. The sound is often loud enough to disturb daily activities, making it difficult to concentrate, sleep, and maintain a peaceful environment for residents in the back of the building. We have asked the managers the the ladies there... but they acted like they dont speak English and didnt even look like they cared. We did put a camera from our residence to record all activity of noise. I will also contact consumer affairs. The noise continues to be a consistent problem. I have already notified 311 about this situation, and a report has been filed for further investigation. I kindly ask for your prompt action to address the noise disturbance and investigate the root cause, whether it is a mechanical issue or a maintenance concern. The comfort and quality of life for residents should be a top priority, and this persistent noise is significantly affecting that.
This is usually a staple in our neighborhood been there for years, however the SERVICE IS DISGUSTING! The servers act like they have more authority over the customer and treat everyone badly! I went with my mom straight after the gym and they acted so rude, my mom ordered a BLACK COFFEE the waitress gave us milk in her coffee (my moms lactose intolerant) we told her we want a black one. She acted like we didn’t order right and was giving us a hard time to fix our order. We sat back down and she yells across the restaurant “come I will give you a free coffee”(in Spanish). First off it’s not free, we paid for it… this is you fixing your mistake. This is not the first time these ladies act up and act some type of way!!! Last time I ordered a salmon and a waitress told me salmon is more expensive…. Like excuse me???? If I was worried about the price I would ask how much it is. Truly so dissatisfied with the lack of respect from these servers!
They microwaved my baked empanada not an expert but my spidey instincts told me something doesn’t feel right. And it came out soggy as for the flavor salty. I asked for an ice cube for my hot chocolate and I got 5 cubes but my iced chocolate was ok tasting. Not coming back It was 8 am only and the place was dirty everywhere it would only take me 8 min to sweep and wipe down the tables but hey …
Place has good food but be careful when you order to go. Make sure to check your receipt. I ordered a couple of things and I was overcharged for 2 items that I never ordered nor dis they include them in my bag. Be sure to always ask for your receipt since prices are never posted behind the counter.
