" My experience at Gusto Gourmet was excellent! The food is authentic; I tried the cachapa and arepas and they were delicious! The staff was helpful, and the cozy little spot made for a charming dinner. It did take a while for our food to come, but it was worth the wait. Highly glad I found this place and will certainly be coming back soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Gusto Gourmet left an impression on me! The flavors of their dishes sing in harmony, especially the empanadas and tequeños. I tried and enjoyed the small, cozy atmosphere. My only complaint was the slow service; it took a bit longer than expected for our food to arrive. Despite the delay, I would return again for the delicious food, as it was worth the wait! " (*Curated Review*)

" Gusto Gourmet truly feels like a slice of Venezuela in Houston. The ambiance is unpretentious but welcoming, and the service feels personal. I ordered the patacón, and it was superb; crunchy and flavorful with the perfect toppings. My only minor issue was that some dishes can be a bit pricey, but they deliver quality that reflects that. A good place to enjoy casual dining with family or friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Gusto Gourmet with a group of friends and overall we had a good time! The flavors were rich and everything was made fresh, but I found it a tad overpriced for the portions served. We ordered a variety, including the tequeños and empanadas, which were delightful. The ambiance was cozy, perfect for a casual hangout. I would recommend it, but maybe try to go for lunch when it’s less crowded! " (*Curated Review*)

" Always a pleasure to come back to Gusto Gourmet. The warm atmosphere and friendly staff make for a delightful experience. I appreciate that they serve traditional Venezuelan dishes that remind me of home. The arepas with black beans and cheese are a personal favorite. They’re well-portioned, too! Just be aware on busier days it might take longer to get your food. Overall, this is one of my go-to spots! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was really looking forward to trying Gusto Gourmet after hearing great things, but I was underwhelmed. The food was decent, but I expected a more authentic taste. The arepas I had were a bit dry, and the fillings lacked the traditional flavors I love. Additionally, the restaurant felt a bit chaotic during peak dinner hours. Service was friendly, but it seemed like they were overwhelmed. I might give it another shot during a less busy time. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes for Gusto Gourmet after reading such positive reviews, but my experience was mixed. The food was flavorful, particularly the cachapas, yet the service was a bit lacking. My server seemed overwhelmed and it took longer than expected to receive our order. The atmosphere is fine, though it could be improved for a more relaxed dining experience. I might give it a second chance because I did enjoy the food overall. " (*Curated Review*)
