Gustazo Kitchen went out of their way to call me as I indicated a dairy allergy on the order. It was great there was such a detailed allergy list to choose from. We went over the options as there was dairy in the entree I choose. I opted to have the sauce on the side. The person who called me was super friendly. The dish itself which was a roasted cauliflower dish was especially delicious as was my side of beans. The cauliflower was roasted al dente just the way I enjoy it. 5 star place although I wish there were more dairy free options.

The food is good, but way overpriced. I wish they would sell typical Cuban food at typical Cuban prices. We are Cuban and just want a delicious Cuban sandwich, pastries, bread, and traditional dishes. The yuca fries tasted just like Pollo Tropical, only 3xs the price.

We've had food at this restaurant before and it's been quite good but the delivered food was incredibly disappointing. The lamb chops and fish tacos were too salty to eat and the entire meal tasted overly oily and frankly, gross. The chicken was passable, though the rice side was again extremely salty. I would not order from here again.

Too salty; ropa vieja was inedible. Not worth price paid.
