Fajita del Mar
Ed S.

This review is for the newer Gustavo's in Prospect. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This location has been open for a little over a year and it's absolutely beautiful! Gustavo has created a romantic and upscale environment for his diners. So 5 stars for the vibe[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. And the excellent service. Drinks are ordered and served quickly, and our food came out exceptionally fast. And hot. But, alas, 3.5 stars for the food. It's good. But not exceptional. I think Gustavo's plays it too safe on the seasoning. Very little flavor in both my fajitas and my wife's combo quesadilla. "Bland" is the term that comes to mind. My combo fajitas came with the usual sides of lettuce, a smidge of guacamole, some pico, refried beans , sour cream, and 3 tortillas. The fajitas came with tiny little bits of chicken and beef. It was difficult to differentiate one from the other. I'd prefer "strips" of chicken and beef over "scraps". The peppers and onions weren't charred, but rather "glassy". Not the usual "sizzling" you expect from a cast iron skillet. The portions are reasonable, but pricing reflects the upscale ambiance. Step up the flavors and Gustavo's will be a first choice for Mexican food in Prospect.

We had a large group and they were able to accommodate on a Saturday night. The service was great. The food was great!! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere is very modern.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] There was a large birthday celebration & we never felt neglected. [[HIGHLIGHT]]My nephew is autistic & was able to handle the noise level.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We started with the queso fundido which was amazing! The pollo Playa, shrimp Mexicana, chimichanga, and tacos al pastor didn't disappoint. They have a huge liquor selection. I had the margarita flight which was not only beautuful but yummy!! We were in town for a family reunion & will definitely come back next year.

Gustavo's is amazing. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Friendly, fast service, great atmosphere, yummy food.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They have daily drink specials and lunch menus if you're not super hungry. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The new location in Norton commons is so cute and has a great patio.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Perfect to meet up with friends or take your dad to lunch.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

I love Gustavo's! I am from Texas & Mexican food is near & dear to my heart I tried the watermelon margarita ... it was refreshing & fresh (no artificial taste). My husband had the Old Fashioned & enjoyed it. We ordered guacamole & it was flavorful & bright. The chips & salsa were homemade... so good! Then we shared the Aloha fajitas which had steak, chicken, shrimp, & chorizo. It was all good... my only complaint was the pieces of steak & chicken were fairly small but the shrimp were big & tasty. The ambience was festive & the service was great! They were busy but attentive. One of my new favs that we will visit regularly.

Went here for the first time tonight. Overall it was a pretty good experience minus two slight ways they could improve. Firstly, when you walk in here, you get exposed to what is a very sleek restaurant. I definitely did not feel like I had just walked into the average Mexican place like el nopal. The bar area was really cool. The whole place had a nice vibe going with it. They had a wide padio outdoor area since the weather was good today. For the food, I got the chicken chimichanga (comes with rice and refried beans). It is one of the better ones I've had in recent times at a Mexican place. Definitely better quality than if you went to your closest el nopal. The rice and beans were good. Now onto a couple things they could improve on. The service got off to a rough start. It took us a solid 10-15 minutes to get someone to take a drink order, so it seems they were a bit disorganized even though it wasn't that busy. Once we finally did get a server there were no issues. It was efficient and about run of the mill. Secondly, the portions could be a bit larger. Usually when you go to a Mexican place you would receive two chimichangas in a dinner portion. Here you only get one. The rice portion was also a bit lacking. Even though it was really good, I was expecting to get a bit more food. My partner got a more expensive dinner and probably had even less food than me. I thought about doing 3 stars but considering how good the food was I thought that would be a little harsh. I'd definitely give it another go. A few small tweaks and this would be 5 stars probably.

She hadn't eaten at Green District before, and sometimes a salad just hits the spot. Seriously. There are a SO MANY fresh options! Salads and Bowls and Toastys and Wraps. Oh My! On this visit I chose the Blue Berrymore salad and my wife got the Chicken Salad...salad. Not gonna lie, these salads are sizable (especially for lunch) The food was prepared after I ordered, and they have a huge variety of toppings for their menu, and you can even build your own item. Looking to mix it up? They offer a Soup & Salad combo. The staff was very friendly and helpful, and the store was very clean and tidy. The over music wasn't too loud and had a great variety. Being Thursday afternoon the place wasn't too busy, however during out nearly 45 minutes here at no time did an employee come out to take care of the dining room. While I REALLY miss the beef jerky store that used to occupy this space, I'm glad it's now occupied by a fresh, healthy eatery.

Client service was fantastic. Everyone was so pleasant. Food selection was great. We wanted to try a little bit of everything so we got the meatballs, the Arancini balls, oysters, kids pasta and three pizzas. The meatballs came with its own pita homemade delicious. Honestly, it would come back just for that. Of course had to get the tiramisu for dessert even though we were so full and it was so good. Super comparable to pizza and food in Toronto honestly, I was so happy great way to end my two week trip

Tucked away on Frankfort Avenue, it's a little off the beaten path, and parking can be an adventure. There's a small lot by the restaurant with overflow parking further down the hill. Somehow we managed to snag the only open space right outside the front door, which felt like winning a very specific Louisville lottery. We arrived a few minutes before our reservation and the place was already buzzing. It was packed with locals, which is usually a good sign. While our table was being bussed, three different employees checked to make sure we were being helped. We let them know we were just a little early and waiting on our table, but it spoke volumes about the attentiveness of the staff. The atmosphere is exactly what you want from a neighbourhood pizza spot: relaxed, lively, and unpretentious. The soundtrack quietly floating through the speakers was a crate-digger's delight, full of songs that have been sampled throughout hip-hop history. Hearing Lynn Collins' Think (About It) while waiting for dinner felt particularly apt following the recent passing of Rob Base. The song's iconic break became the foundation of It Takes Two, one of hip-hop's most recognisable records, and it was a nice reminder of how deeply great music connects generations. To start, we ordered the Olives & Togarashi, a bowl of Castelvetrano olives coated in a wonderfully aromatic blend of spices with notes of fennel, sesame and citrus. My son tried his first olive and was genuinely shocked by the flavour. He'll come around eventually. For the main event, we ordered three large pizzas: the DOP Margherita, the Funghi and the Original Sting. The DOP Margherita showcases imported buffalo mozzarella from Campania alongside basil and San Marzano tomatoes. The Funghi is loaded with an incredible blend of mushrooms, taleggio, pecorino cream and mozzarella. The Original Sting combines soppressata, fresh mozzarella, basil, tomato and spicy local honey in a sweet-and-savoury combination that completely works. Now, let's talk about the crust. It is perfect. Pillowy and light, yet substantial enough to give you that satisfying chew. The wood-fired oven creates just the right amount of charred bubbling around the edges. Our server offered house-made ranch and other dipping sauces for the crust, but we politely declined. This pizza doesn't need any enhancers. The balance of flavours across all three pies was exceptional. I've eaten pizza all over the world, and Pizza Lupo belongs in that conversation. It really is that good. We had a plan: sample all three pizzas and leave just enough room to split the tiramisu. Thankfully, we stuck to it. The tiramisu was fresh, light and beautifully balanced. Not overly sweet, nicely moist, with just enough espresso flavour coming through. It was the perfect finish to an outstanding meal. The service was fast without feeling rushed, friendly without feeling scripted, and genuine throughout the evening. We left full, not bloated, and happy as spring lambs, already talking about what we'd order next time. We'll defo be back. Cheers, Sam
