Located on a quiet street in Williamsburg, this Colombian restaurant is different from the usual offer. The smell that comes out from the cooking is unbelievable. I finally decided on the Bandeja Paisa and Chimichurri Steak Sandwich. The Chimichurri Steak Sandwich is not my favorite but not bad. I wished it had some sauce that is compatible with it, the steak had a strong lime flavor. The bread was good and the fries are delicious. The Bandeja Paisa has all the flavors and everything you want from a Colombian dish. It has sausage, steak, fried pork belly, egg, arepa, sweet plantain, avocado, and rice and beans. It was a combination of flavors. The dish was very flavorful and a bit salty, but the sweet plantain helped cut. The service was so friendly and sweet. The restaurant has a good amount of tables and it was actually pretty crowded for a Friday afternoon. read more

Excessive price, I went to eat alone and spent $37 just for a simple plate and 2 sodas and the food tasted unpleasant as if it had been frozen for a long time, 0/10 read more

Excellent food, service, and value. Had dinner, ordered the grilled steak and the chicken cutlet platters and both were fantastic followed by some delicious alfajores. Highly recommend. read more

I caught myself making happy noises while eating here. This place is quite small and very busy during lunch. But it's worth it: Great food and good service. Staff displays unmatched friendliness and willingly provides recommendations if you seem confused. You'll find these flavors are exclusive to this spot. I'm certain to be back. read more

Simplemente brutal! Precios bajos, servicio excellente, comida deliciosa!! Recomendado y volveré!! Outstanding! Low prices, amazing food and excellent service! I highly recommend and will be coming back. I was treated so well by the owner and her employee! The place is very clean, they have a bathroom also, so very conveniently located. read more

Restaurant was clean, and the service was good. Small and cozy spot. The snapper with rice beans and plantains was delicious.

Great food with friendly service! A Mom and Pop restaurant serving authentic home-made style of delicious variety of Hispanic cuisine. Give it a try. It's not your fancy shmancy restaurant in Williamsburg. It has it's authenticity. You'll enjoy the experience in this non-typical restaurant. You'll be amazed by the quality of food they make. The owners are the chef and his wife the sous-chef. Two of the most friendly, and hardworking couple on Driggs Ave. read more

Absolutely delicious and reasonably priced Colombian food. Homemade, fresh and definitely worth a stop.

I got the pork platter from ubereats and it was really good! I'm impressed by the presentation and everything was super yummy. It's a large portion too! It hit the spot and tasted like a traditional pernil platter. My only complaint is that the pernil was already pretty cold by the time i got it, but i assume it got cold when it was on its way to me. My beans were still warm so that made up for it! Overall, super delicious platter and I'm excited to try this place in person. read more

Short review: breakfast is great but I really like the empanadas and I find myself trying (and sometimes failing) to stop on my way to the L train. Even if I am already late, I will still stop and get one. read more

Amazing!!!! Came up as a spot for good Colombian food so checked this place out of curiosity (and reviews ;) and was very pleased. Staff, super nice and helpful. Like one of those Mom & Pop spots that's little and quaint AND serves really yummy food. Ordered the Bandeja Paisa (I believe this is your traditional Colombian meat combination plate) - Chicarrón, steak, sausage arepa, avocado, egg, rice and sweet plantain: Very good (and filling. we shared this between the 2 of us). However, what caught my eye, the Ball of Green Banana (Bola de Banana Verde)...my gosh, delicious! Chopped up green bananas that's rolled into a ball with pieces of crispy pork belly and cheese. By itself, good. Drizzle a little bit of their garlic lemony salsa on top...and you've got yourself a wonderful fiesta happening on your taste buds. If you're one for that Green Plantain flavor, green Banana is slightly different, but I believe this dish will not disappoint. I'm coming back for more and then some :) read more

This is simple, tasty food, served by nice people for a good price. More people should follow this formula. There was a sign in the window for a lunch special of a chicken wrap and soup. The nice waitress told me the soup was chicken soup. So I ordered it. I was in a chicken mood. But then she came back and screamed, "NO CHICKEN SOUP FOR YOU!" (Just kidding, that's a Seinfeld joke. Get it? Pop culture, amiright?) Anyway, she actually just apologized in a very normal voice and said the soup of the day was actually lentil. Well, I'll be damned if I order lentil soup, so I got the Pollo Empanizado platter instead...which I realized that was a way better choice than a chicken wrap, even if the place wasn't called Gusto Latino. Which it was. To make this long inane story short, my pollo empanizado was a hearty portion of juicy breaded chicken cutlet with rice and beans on the side. Everything was well-seasoned and well-cooked, and the few pickled onions that were the perfect touch to tie it all together. read more

Delicious empanadas! Come here pretty frequently to get empanadas and all flavors are wonderfully delicious. Well fried and always delicious! read more

Be sure to check your receipts! I was over charged. I ordered 1 iced coffee and the corn cake with scrambled eggs. I save my receipts and later saw I was charged for 2 iced coffees. I also asked for a side of sausage and was told I had to get a second breakfast if I wanted sausage. Food was ok. Cheap but not worth the hassle. read more

I ordered the picada my receipt had rice and means on it for 18.00 as a side on the menu on grub hub. I called because I have a one year old that can't eat all the meat and was counting on the soft food. The rude worker at the restaurant was being so rude refuse to send what was on my receipt. She said it doesn't come with the order I told her it was on the menu as a side. For a place that is always empty I can't believe she wouldn't send my item although it's on the menu and receipt. She continued to be rude saying I should return the food. Called grub hub got my money back because the treatment was ridiculous because of their own mistake. Do not order from here staff is rude and food was disgusting. 18.00 dollars for cheap thin steak large chunks of the back of the chicken wings ? And no sausage no arepa HORRIBLE. I've never in my life seen a Colombian picada like this gross read more

My chaulafan was delicious! Arepa was also very good. Food could have come out a bit faster but no other complaints from me.

Rotisserie chicken from here is delicious and addictive. Chicken is perfectly seasoned, moist and tender. Plantains are always great, but these sweet plantains were the right consistency and not too fried (I think they may have been baked.) Also the beans and rice were delicious. I picked up a whole chicken and two sides from there tonight on a whim and they took maybe 5 minutes to get my order ready. The staff was sweet and gracious. The food was perfectly packed and included some delicious bonus sauce. I had a huge plate of chicken, rice & beans and sweet plantains and I have enough food left for at least 5 more meals! It was a great value for the cost. I can't wait to go back and try more things. read more

expecting five stars but can't just yet. stopped in on my way to lunch looking for a bite to hold me over. the empanadas in the window were the green light. glanced over the menu and they've got plantains, steak, chicken, rice. the usual offenders but when the usual is usually delicious, sticking to what's tried and true is a good sign. as i mentioned up top it was just a stop so i wasn't looking to fill up. tried to order a spinach empinada (keeping it light) but they didn't have them. got beef instead. delicious. the meat is expertly seasoned and it comes with a house salsa that's actually spicy. the breading was perfectly flaky. real 10/10 pocket of joy. the interior is a decent size. metal tables. metal chairs. standard fare. but the atmosphere is really warm and inviting. can definitely see gusto latino becoming a regular spot. will be updating this review when i go for the full meal. hopefully tomorrow. read more

If you're from miami and are home sick, this is your place. The owners are sweet the food is as delicious as ever and the portions are pretty big - not nyc portions :-) I got una bandeja paisa and the pan de bono (fed 2) for $20. Thank you Gusto team! read more

I came in for lunch, the place is relatively small with most seating for a party of 4 or less. I ordered lentil soup and the soup was tasty with plenty of lentil, sliced potatoe, tomatoe, onions and celery. The soup came with white rice and I barely touched the rice as the soup filled me up. Otherwise a good experience. read more

I'm so happy this place opened up in the neighborhood. Their food is always delicious, big portions, and super friendly and fast service. Don't be scared of the humble appearance of the restaurant- the food is absolutely delicious. I also order seamless regularly. One time they forgot to send my tostones with my meal and they immediately got the delivery man back and they sent along complimentary arepas. Awesome service! Definitely give this place a try if you're hungry for typical Latin American food. read more

Staff were rude. Don't waste your money here. There are way more places for a better experience!

I stopped in for lunch and loved the place and food! The service was great, and the staff was very friendly and the food is tasty, portions are sizable and overall it's great value. The beet salad was wonderful, as was the lentil soup. I loved the empanadas, and could douse the green sauce that they came with on everything. The bandeja paisa is a meat lovers dream! Williamsburg badly needed more latin american options, and Gusto Latino nailed it on the head. Can't wait to go back! read more

I had the fish soup which was excellent. I gotta say I was expecting lower prices because the place kind of looks like a hole in the wall. But the soup was very delicious. I also got an empanada which was fine but the sauce it came with was good. My server was really nice and friendly. The atmosphere inside definitely leaves something to be desired though. 4 stars for the fish soup and service. read more

Ordered the Bandeja Paisa & a Postobon for delivery through GrubHub. I love when my food arrives nice & hot in less than 30 mins. The Bandeja Paisa was the perfect portion for two people to share. Steak wasn't dry, the chicharron was cooked to perfection! Great addition to the neighborhood! Now I don't have to drive to queens for a good Bandeja Paisa. read more
