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.

    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.

    Great service by Christina and GM Jim couldn’t be more welcoming! Every dish is fabulous but don’t miss the ribs or the beet salad or the plantains wrapped in bacon. And the mojitos are a must!

    Spectacular good and great service from Lila. I wish they’d put the guacamole back on the menu. It was the best item
