We ate at Gustos this evening. Service was excellent and the food was awesome. Homemade guacamole, bread and lobster bisque was fantastic. Pretty much rolled out of there. Happy and full.
We stayed near this restaurant but didn’t see many cars there so we hesitated to go try it but on our last night we came here and now regretting not coming sooner. The food was delicious- our table had a seafood platter and fajitas. Everything was so tasty. The staff were so kind and friendly. It seemed like their were returning guests there as the staff were very excited to see some people which is always a hood sign (having regular customers). We will definitely be back and I recommend you to go visit here.
Absolutely amazing. If I could give this place 10 stars, I would. Service was fantastic, food was delicious and the atmosphere is very cozy and unique. Each member of the staff approached us with friendly smiles on their faces. We ordered the Lobster Bisque as the appetizer then the special sea food platter for two. Hands down the best sea food we’ve ever had. The table beside us ordered one of the pizzas and also cleared their plate with smiles on their faces. We will be going there again. Also, please know they take credit card.
Shhh don't tell anybody about the islands best kept secret restaurant! Much larger than it looks. We stayed next door at Suites Cozumel and walked over nightly for their famous lobster pizza, icey Pina coladas and key lime pies yum!
Whenever we visit Cozumel we make it point to eat at Gusto's at least once. The portions are huge and the food is always fresh. The Tortillas come out so hot they need to cool down before you can eat. Make sure to ask for their green hot sauce. I would consider it to be mild to medium and the flavor is incredible. The steak fajitas are made from rib eye steak and are amazing! The crab is some of the best I've tasted anywhere. I could go on but I think you get the picture :-)
The food was absolutely amazing!! When I saw amazing it’s the best seafood I have ever had. The seafood platter was enough for three of us to eat and be stuff with some left over. It was literally a struggle to stop eating because it tasted so good. The owner told us stories, made us laugh and shared his special family tequila. He really makes the experience special.
If there’s one dish that will haunt your taste buds long after you’ve left, it’s the King Crab at Gusto’s Restaurant in Cozumel, Mexico. My introduction to this unforgettable meal was thanks to a chance encounter with a gentleman named Terry Curry after an open play pickleball session at PikaPok Paradise Pickleball Facility. He shared stories of crabs and other amazing sea life he had seen diving off the coast of Cozumel and I knew that I had to try the local seafood fare. Little did I know, Terry would lead me to the most incredible crab I’ve ever tasted. Before the spectacular arrival of the King Crab, I had the pleasure of starting my meal with a lobster bisque—rich, velvety, and full of depth. It was the perfect soup to wet my appetite and set the stage for the dish I traveled the island to try. I’ve had my fair share of crab across the globe, but nothing compares to this masterpiece. The crab was an absolute revelation—succulent, meaty, and cooked to sheer perfection. Each bite was an ethereal experience, with the tender, flaky flesh practically melting in your mouth. You can taste the love from the chef in the preparation of this dish, as the crab was unadulterated by over seasoning or thick, heavy, sauce. The natural sweetness of the crab was so exquisite that the thought of dipping it into butter never even crossed my mind—though the butter, rich and delicious with the nostalgic taste of movie theater popcorn flavor, would undoubtedly be a luxury if you chose to indulge. But honestly, it wasn’t needed. The crab alone was so flawless, it stood as the star of the show. Every waking moment since my meal has been consumed by thoughts of those delicate, decadent morsels. I am utterly infatuated, and I hate that I have to travel a whopping 1768 miles (2845 kilometers) to relive the magic of this King Crab at Gusto’s again. If you’re ever in Cozumel, do yourself a favor—this dish is a must-try, and it might just ruin all future crab experiences for you. Absolute perfection.
Drinks amazing, food was best I had on the island! Absolutely outstanding!!!
