It's amazing how much context, atmosphere, hunger, environment, etc affect our perception of food.
My most favorite and memorable meals ever were little, low quality places that I hate after coming back from long treks through the wilderness, or even the meals cooked while on those treks. As well as many places my wife and I ate on our honeymoon.
And I have been to a fair number of excellent restaurants including michellin starred ones.
It seems unlikely that those places were actually that good (probably the same as your buccas experience). And I have returned to some of them under different circumstances and not found them particularly amazing.
