   A delicious spot for sure! My friend and I went here and got some tapas and everything was wonderful. We sat outside in the front patio and I got a guava mocktail mojito and my friend got a margarita and we both loved our drinks. Then, we got the croquettes, empanadas, and ribs and it all tasted so yummy! We will definitely be back!

   Fantastic food and plenty of it! Outside patio in back was perfect - inside was a bit too noisy. Service was terrific. All in all a great evening out with friends from out of town!

   This is absolutely one of our favorite new finds among the restaurants we've tried lately. Amazing food with a Latin flair, creative craft cocktails, a fun atmosphere, and an attentive waitstaff--what's not to love? We'll be back!

   We particularly liked the small plates: mejillones, polpo, camarones, the baby lamb chops…. A nice drink too: “Smoky something or other” There’s not much they can do about the noise but when the restaurant is full…. We’ve been there before and we’ll return.

   Haven’t been since it opened and now wondering why it’s taken me so long to return. Food was creative, multilayered flavors and textures and delicious. We sat in the patio and didn’t realize there was a parking lot in the back. There was new bartending staff so drinks were slower than we would have liked but everything else made up for i. We will be back soon!

    We made a reservation but still had to wait about 25-30min to be seated. Two different managers came over to our table to apologize, which we thought was very nice. Only offered a fountain-drink lemonade as a service for us. But afterwards, the rest of the service / staff continued to be terrible with various waiters passing our table but ignoring us when trying to order. Each staff member that brought a dish to our table looked angry / unpleased to be working there. Food was good, so I hope it was just a one-off night for the team.

    Our reservation was at 7:15pm Friday night. We were sited on time. We got our cocktails AN HOUR after and we didn’t even were asked to place the food order. After an hour and 15 minutes and after I went to talk to the manager, we started to get the food we eventually ordered…. The food was good. It was really noisy, hot and the service was ok. We will never go back to the Cambridge location.

    Friends helped me move in, and I asked a neighbor for a “celebratory thank you dinner rec.” So glad they sent us to Gustazo! I will now try to spend all my celebratory dinners here because it was so tasty and so fun!

    We were greeted at the door by pleasant reception staff who escorted us to our outdoor seating. The seating looks out on the parking lot so I was skeptical as to the ambience but it was quite pleasant, separated enough that you could focus on the dining area, with lovely lights and soft music rounding out the scene. The waitstaff also were pleasant and patient. We shared 4 small plates and a bowl of plantain chips. We could have gotten by with 3 but everything was delicious--empanadas, croquettes, corn fritters and tacos. We both had the passion fruit marguerita which was also tasty. Will be back!

    That was a great night with friends. The food was delicious. The server was busy around the tables. Hope they can get more servers when the diner time is getting busy. The noise sound(many people were talking, I think the tables are so crowded) is loud and I can not hear my friend’s voice since we are trying to speak with a lowly voice.

    We got a few of the small dishes. The corn fritter and mussels were amazing. We didn't really like the grilled octopus. The drinks were fun. We sat at the bar. We hope to sit on the patio next time. It was a great date night.

    Introduced some foodie friends to Gustazo and they fell in love! It was a great night. Fantastic food, good drinks, good company, great ambiance, great service! One of the things I love about this restaurant is that most, if not all, of the employees are Spanish-speaking or Latinx. Also, there is some diversity in the patronage, which is really nice - a reflection of the world in which we live.

    Food here is outstanding—satiating, plated beautifully and bursting with flavor. The wait staff are incredibly friendly and helpful. The atmosphere is fun, colorful, bustling with energy and will temporarily transport you somewhere else—a welcome feeling post two plus years of pandemic. The perfectly tailored drinks—alcoholic and non-alcoholic—top this place off. Not to mention they even have (still) outdoor dining in front and more privately in back for warmer months.

    NOISY NOISY NOISY NOISY NOISY NOISY Way too noisy. Very hard to have a conversation. Unpleasant. Have to practically yell. Awful. Conducive to nothing at all. So, terrible ambience. Difficult to converse. Not romantic. (It was out anniversary.) Nice decor. I would recommend this restaurant with a big warning about the noise. I would recommend it for the food and service which were superb.

    Food is top notch - service does not come close to marching the experience. Bar is extremely understaffed - 20 minutes for a mixed drink, 10 for a glass of wine. 20 minutes till we were greeted by our waitress once we sat down. So yes a full 30-40 minutes from when we sat down till we got served anything at all

    Trust me, this is one of the best restaurants I’ve been to. I’m Cuban myself and I have never tried any other Cuban restaurant with such authentic flavor and friendly service. This is a mix between grandmas food and upscale, gourmet variations. I strongly recommend it and can’t wait to come back. I even called the owner to the table and had to complement him.

    Overall the food was great. However, they had run out of the only chicken entree they had at 7pm, but it was a Sunday, so not sure if that might be why. The noise level is loud. But food and service was good and is worth the try!
