Good food, great service! We had Gustavo's enchiladas and the crispy chili rellenos. I think next time I'll try one of the shrimp dishes. The lemon pie was an excellent way to finish off our meal read more

I called in an order to go. The person taking the order was short and kept asking me if I was done. I only ordered two dishes. When I finally said I was done she repeated the order to me and said it would be ready in 15 minutes. I asked her if she needed my name or something. She mumbled something and hung up. When I got the order home (in the next town over) it was wrong. I got one adult meal and three kids meals. I tried to call them to figure out a solution and they won't answer the phone. So I have paid $60 for food that won't be eaten by one of us. I am so frustrated!!!! Their food is mediocre and super expensive but it's all there in our here in nowhere. read more

Gustavo’s Monticello - Enchilada - Mexican Near Me - Monticello, Utah

I stopped in on a weekday early evening after a long drive and very ready for some food. I was not disappointed at how quickly I was seated and had some chips in salsa to munch on. I ordered the enchilada meal with one chicken and one cheese enchilada. The plate was is front of me in less than 10 minutes even though there was a fair amount of other people dining. The food was hot and tasted great. I would stop here again if passing through town. read more

Little restaurant great food. Enjoyed the ambience! I was looking for a mango margarita and it said you could add it to the drink but waiter said they didn't have it! We were not offered dessert. read more

The food is great, the service is quick, and the ambiance has that small town restaurant charm.

This place is fantastic! The food is amazing with fresh ingredients and incredibly tasty. They will be let you sit for as long as you like, and like in Mexico or Europe, you need to ask for the check. read more

Walked to this restaurant Thursday night around 7:15 pm mainly for their margaritas as I wasn't super hungry. I found this posted at the hostess counter! They claimed they had tried to order grand matinee and couldn't get it so they cancelled margaritas! I had just bought bottles of Cointreau and have a hard time believing they could not get any orange liquor??? Triple sec? Patron citronge? Grand mariner? Lots of possibilities. My conclusion: Very poor management. read more

Gustavo’s Monticello - Carne asada was insanely good. You can tell they use quality cuts of meat. - Mexican Near Me - Monticello, Utah

The service was warm and inviting. The decor is fun. More importantly, the food here was awesome. All the salsas were nice and spicy. Mole enchiladas: 5 stars Gustavos enchiladas: 5 stars Carnitas street tacos were HUGE and delicious: 5 stars. We're not from around here but if we were we would absolutely come back on a regular basis. read more

This place is a perfect example of a restaurant knowing what they are doing. Their food was exceptional and I love how their menu was clear and simple. The carnitas burrito was huge but it was so good my friend devoured it all. I would recommend the carne asada over the skirt steak as you don't get a lot of meat with the skirt steak (alhambra) but a lot of bacon. Delicious salsa read more

Reviewing Gustavo's is a real pleasure as this restaurant is truly on the exceptional level of fine Mexican food.

Food at Gustavo's creative, fresh, vibrant and even garnished superbly. Service is attentive and well timed with an obviously well trained staff. The dining area is attractively appointed, very clean and well maintained. There are many items on the menu that offer adventurous dining that is sure to please, you will not be disappointed... read more

Always delicious food and great customer service. Reasonable prices for delicious food.

While passing through town there's limited options at 8pm on a Tuesday night but don't let that fool you!! Gustavo's is amazing. Great portion sizes and amazing food! Even though I ordered take out, the service was great. read more

I was disappointed when I googled their hours and it showed they were closed (Sunday afternoon). I was happy when we spotted the restaurant as we came into town and found that they were actually open. The food and staff (Oshla) were fantastic. She seated us immediately, brought fresh chips and salsa. Our drinks and food were served quickly. Everything was delicious. Best Mexican rice I've ever had. The restaurant was clean and festive. Don't miss Gustavo's! read more

Gustavo’s Monticello - Took the pic too late. It was delicious. - Mexican Near Me - Monticello, Utah

Amazing Mexican food with delicious house hot sauce. The one with black garlic was my favorite! So original, I wish they would sell it.

The plate of food my wife ordered was no where near what the menu read. They would not refund or take another order to replace it. So she asked to see the me u again. They never brought one so she got up and got one herself and ordered another plate of different type. When the second order came it was not what she asked for. She said fine, we would not pay for this and bring us the bill. When we got the bill that last plate ($17) was charged to us. I had also asked for some hot sauce which the waiter brought. What he did not tell me in advance is that he would charge me $2 for this hot sauce. So in total i was presented with a $70+ bill for my plate which was nothing great, an ice tea and a beer. I refused to pay for the last meal they brought my wife and they took this off. Any quality restaurant would have offered to make my wife something g different from the start knowing she would not eat what they brought. Appears to me the dollar is more important than a happy repeat customer. Some of us love to have "hot" sauce with their mexican food. This place does not. The manager did come talk with is but all she had was excuses and new we were not happy but i do not feel any true concern was recognized. I have known Gustavo for a long time and have spent many a dollar there. And in Cortez. I will never eat there again. read more

Driving to Moab from Mesa Verde, we passed this restaurant and decided to give it a try for a late lunch! We are GLAD we did. The wait staff was friendly and attentive. The chef's were singing as they were preparing the meals. They really paid attention to the details and the plates were very prettily presented. Now for the flavors!!! The Hatch Stacked Enchiladas were delicious. The Quesatacos were really tasty, too. When we complemented our server about the unique flavors of the sauces, she brought out more sauces to let us try. They were all unique, interesting and very good. The portions were large! You could tell the restaurant was well cared for and it was very clean. Would definitely visit again. read more

The food was amazing, great portions, everything came out perfectly. The cheese on the quesadillas was great for a queso lover. The service was good with our waiter being very polite along with the food coming out fast. The vibe was very authentic. read more

This seems to be the only Mexican food place open at usual hours in the area, and it's incredibly busy! One waiter but he was a mover & shaker! Large portions so you could easily share after gorging on Chips & Salsa! Decorated nicely and delicious plenty of space for elbows and full bellies! read more

What incredible Mexican food. The best steak tacos I have ever had. The service was also outstanding. A+

Nice local Mexican restaurant that are run by Mexicans. We had the shrimp enchenchiladas & burrito / taco combo. Margaritas are only on the rocks and the house blend is ok. Clean and friendly staff that is on top of things. English is a challenge but work through it. Reasonable prices and great food in a quaint atmosphere. Recommend this place. read more

I'm a vegetarian and was rudely explained there was nothing on the menu for me and no substitutions were possible because of the use of lard and chicken broth. Gustavo's looked very promising but definitely for carnivores only. read more

Great service! Clean and cute! I had chips and salsa and the chicken mole enchiladas. Delicious salsa, excellent rice and beans. The mole was good and had a bit of heat, but was a little bit too sweet for my liking. Overall, everything was above and beyond what I expected. read more
