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

Our lunch was absolutely delicious. You always judge a Mexican restaurant by its salsa and this place absolutely delivered. I had chili relleno and tamales and you could tell they were homemade. Hubs had the pork chimichanga and it was also delicious.They could use a better mix for the margaritas or go old school and make them from scratch. Service was excellent. Highly recommend. 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. Every detail of this eatery stands out, with attention to the smallest details that make an establishment rate above most good restaurants. 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

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

Great beef taco. The shell was delicate and crunchy and the meat very saucy like birria. Also has the burrito that was covered in a delicious red suave. The inside of the restaurant was quite nice too. read more

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

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 is a 5 star Mexican Food Restaurant. Excellent. Delicious margaritas!! And the best Mexican food you will ever get. The service was also the best. He was so attentive and was aware of all of our allergies. Perfecto!!! 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

Wonderful food here, super cute ambiance, and kind, helpful staff. We had the pastor street tacos and taco salad, and we were both blown away by the quality and attention to detail. The house-made horchata was really the cherry on top. A must if you are stopping through Monticello! read more

Omg, probably the best Mexican food we have ever had. My entire family of 4 enjoyed our meal. I had the chicken fajita and it was delicious. It's truly authentic Mexican food from the heart. 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

This restaurant was an excellent choice on our way back to Moab from Monument Valley. We arrived around 6PM on a Thursday and there were many other groups coming in at the same time. The host/waiter, James, was very nice and efficient. They were short staffed when we went so there were only 2 waiters and whoever was working in the kitchen (no bartender). Due to the staffing shortage they were having, it took a longer time to get our drinks and food, but both waiters were working hard, so no complaints there. I ordered the combination platter with the shredded beef burrito and the tamale (which was a red sauce pork). The beef in the burrito was tender, as was the pork in the tamale. The sauce on the burrito was very tasty, and the tamale was mostly soft (one end was hard, not inedible however). To drink, I had the cherry coke which had fresh cherries in it, which was a nice touch. James was mostly attentive considering he was one of 2 waiters working in a semi-busy restaurant. He was very friendly, even when he messed up someone else's order (did not really mess up, but accidentally brought out the wrong meal and came back with the correct one quickly). Overall a friendly and welcoming atmosphere, definitely very good food. Will be back if I'm in the area. 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

Good food. I would rate higher if the portion sizes were later. Kind of expensive for what you get.

We stopped on our way to Monument Valley and we all had a delicious lunch. The place is decorated so nicely and the food is outstanding.

Tasty food & good ambience. The service was good though no one seemed very happy. Good find in Monticello! We would definitely stop here again. read more
