GUSTAZO is one of the very few authentic Cuban restaurants in the Boston area. Located at 240 Moody street, it offers traditional Cuban cuisine in a modern and inventive way. The ambiance is reminiscent of Spanish colonial architecture, with hand painted tiles, wall to wall pictures of old Havana and Spanish filigree motives.
Signature dishes include Slow Roasted Pork, Enchilado de Mariscos, Empanadas, Camarones al Ajillo and the luxurious Cuban flan.

    Had a wonderful experience - from being welcomed and seated promptly. The server was really nice and was able to get me a modified dish even though it was not on the menu. Paying the bill was also without any fuss. Great find- would return again!

    Food and service were excellent. It's a bit noisy in the front room; might be quieter in the back. There was also a draft from the front door. But overall a great dining experience.

    This has always been one of my favorite restaurants but since I moved further away, I have been unable to go as frequently. As usual, it did not disappoint. We went for a birthday and the birthday girl loved everything.

    The food was excellent but the noise level was so high that we had difficulty hearing our friends. The temperature in the restaurant plummeted each time the front door opened.
