    A good amount of high quality food. My wife and I were honestly surprised it’s as good as it is, being one of the only Mexican food places in a semi-small town. Absolutely worth a try.

    Amazing Mexican food in Monticello! I wish I lived closer so I could come back anytime. My husband had carnitas tacos and I had the enchiladas. Everything was delicious but the chili negra that came with the tacos was out of this world! It had black garlic! I asked to buy a bottle of it but unfortunately they don’t sell it.

    Delicious...delicious...delicious...the enchiladas suiza were soooo flavorful in a green poblano pepper sauce that just had the tiniest hint of spiciness. Ask for both chicken and shredded beef. The chips were amazing and rice, beans and chicken breast were also great. Service by Beto was very friendly and fast. Love this place! Oh, and the guac!!!!! Order at least a side!

    If you are ever in Monticello, eat at Gustavo’s!! You won’t regret it. They are authentic but not sloppy. The free chips and salsa are unlimited. The salsa they bring out is spicy! Not at first but in the back end so beware! Coke products to drink. Prices are above 10 each plate but the bite will not disappoint.

    I recently had the pleasure of dining at this outstanding Mexican restaurant, and I can confidently say it was one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in a long time. From the moment we walked in, we were warmly welcomed by the staff, and the atmosphere was vibrant and inviting. The food was absolutely phenomenal—rich in flavor, beautifully presented, and clearly made with care and authentic ingredients. Every dish we tried, from the appetizers to the main courses, was bursting with traditional Mexican flair and perfectly seasoned. What truly elevated our visit, however, was the exceptional service. Our waiter, David, was incredibly attentive, knowledgeable about the menu, and made sure we were comfortable and well taken care of throughout the meal. Manager Shelly also went out of her way to check in on us and was equally courteous and gracious. Their hospitality added a personal touch that made our experience feel special and genuinely appreciated. If you’re looking for a place with fantastic food and top-notch service, this restaurant is a must-visit..
