    Service is as forgetful. Had to remind server we ordered sparkling water. No utensils- asked twice. Eventually just took it off another table. Tapas- server just kept dumping more dishes on our small table, never taking completed dishes away. Large selection of vegetarian tapas. Every dish was bland or greasy. No seasoning. Not getting the Cuban cuisine. So disappointed because so many reviews said it was a “must”.

    Loved the guava cocktail and all of our tapas! The corn fritters and garbanzo bean salad were especially yummy.

    We always enjoy any meal at Gustazo. Noise level a bit much for this old lady but sitting in the back room helped with that.

    I always have a good time at Gustazo's! I met up with some friends and we shared a lot of tapas together, plus drinks. Harry was our waiter, and was attentive and helpful. We'll be back!
