Gustavo's Mexican Restaurant and Bar

Amazing food, great service! I appreciated that they were knowledgeable about gluten free options. Highly recommend eating here!

Wake Up Cortez! Gustavo's is an extremely good Tex-Mex restaurant. It should be jam-packed with glutenous happy patrons every night. I am visiting from Texas and have experienced many of it's extremely numerous good Tex-Mex restaurants. But very few offer the fresh and great tasting dishes offered by Gustavo"s. One of my primary tests.of a Tex-Mex restaurant is the availability and quality of their chili Verde. Gustavo's passed the test with flying colors. The side of chili verde that I ordered had a wonderful taste of fresh New Mexico green chilies while also delivering a moderate but not overpowering amount of heat. The pork chunks in the chili were ample and we're perfectly cooked to a delectible texture requiring only a soft but slow chew to stimulate and reward your taste buds. My next test is how the restaurant prepares the chili rellenos. At Gustavo's, the rellenos are the feature item on the menu. I ordered the crispy version and was not disappointed. Unlike many restaurants, Gustavo's gets the breading right (i.e. light and crisp not damp and heavy). The rellenos are fresh and cooked to a proper texture of being easy to cut with a fork. The cheese stuffing is a Goldilocks experience (i.e. Just Right) The rellenos are accompanied with nice and tasty portions of Spanish rice, frijoles and guacamole. Also Gustavo's serves a variety of Mexican beers in large and super large sizes. One super large beer was just right for accompanying the ample meal that I was served. The atmosphere of the restaurant is warm and friendly. Service is attentive and prompt. And the people that work there appear to enjoy their work as there was a good deal of laughing and positive interaction among the staff. In summary: Great place for Tex-Mex.
