Gustico features some mighty fine Latin food--that is for sure!!
I stopped in recently in Gustico for the first time when spotting the place during a quick trip to the bank. I had recently been hankering for some croquetas de jamon, so I pulled out my phone, did a quick search for Gustico's menu, and I saw they had them!! I was sold right away.
So what was the verdict on the ham croquettes? A+ indeed. They were homemade style, plump and tender on the inside, and perfectly fried on the outside! The only other menu item we ordered was the ground beef stuffed plantain, which was yummy as well. But, I'll say that I was stunned by how perfect all of their other food looked (you can see some of their items being cooked behind a prep counter). And from the flutter of other customers coming in and out for take-out, Gustico has already acquired quite a customer following!
I'm eager to visit Gustico again and look forward to trying some of the other eye candy I saw on my first visit - Pernil (roasted pork shoulder), Oxtail Stew, Rice and Beans, etc.! read more
