GUSTAZO is one of the very few authentic Cuban restaurants in the Boston area. Located at 240 Moody street, it offers traditional Cuban cuisine in a modern and inventive way. The ambiance is reminiscent of Spanish colonial architecture, with hand painted tiles, wall to wall pictures of old Havana and Spanish filigree motives.
Signature dishes include Slow Roasted Pork, Enchilado de Mariscos, Empanadas, Camarones al Ajillo and the luxurious Cuban flan.

    An excellent, tasty, unique dining experience. We are heading to Cuba next week and hope our meals will be as good as our dinner at Gustazo.

    We enjoyed the food selections. A table in the back room was warm and not as noisy - thanks to previous reviews. Service was attentive for a big group. Also flexible in our ordering routine.

    This may be my new go to spot to catch up with friends! Easy ambiance, friendly (and fast) service that helped with suggestions for tapas. We shared the Cubano sandwich, creamy cauliflower, grilled octopus & fish tacos. All super yummy, served quickly & hot. Great tapas options & a great venue for conversation with a friend I hadn't seen in a few months. Virgin mojitos were also excellent! When I've been here before, it was really loud & difficult for conversation, but this time less so. Maybe because we were seated in the front part of the restaurant & had an early (530) Friday night reservation.
