Gusticos Bistro

Amazing Spanish Venezuelan restaurant with authentic flavors and generous portions. The food was fresh, well-seasoned, and reminded me of homemade cooking. The staff was friendly and the atmosphere welcoming. I’ll definitely be coming back to try more dishes

BEST authentic Venezuelan place in south florida. Took my sister for her post graduation dinner. We had the best time, the food was amazing, and the service exceptional. Owners are so caring and generous, they gifted us an appetizer dish and a slice of cake 😋 Plus took pictures of my sisters cap. They seemed genuinely so proud of her (a total stranger). Definitely the type of business you would want to support. We came back a few times after and got the same amazing service and food. So they are pretty consistent with their quality. Taking all my friends here! About the food: we had empanadas, cachapas, arepitas fritas, tequeños, papelon con limón, nestea, jugo de parchita y de guanábana. Everything was delicious. Craving their empanadas as I type 🤤

Absolutely amazing Venezuelan food! From the moment you walk in, you’re welcomed with warm service and an authentic atmosphere that truly feels like home. The flavors are incredible — everything is fresh, perfectly seasoned, and made with love. The arepas were delicious, the empanadas were crispy and flavorful, and the portions were very generous. You can really taste the authenticity in every bite. On top of that, the staff is friendly, attentive, and genuinely cares about giving you a great experience. If you’re looking for real Venezuelan cuisine, this place is a must. Highly recommend — we will definitely be coming back!

We decided to go back to our roots, eat some venezuelan made food from SCRATCH. The owners were there and were really welcoming 🙏🏼 Food was awesome, cant complain. Maybe more nata but my preference. Mandocas do have Anis so it has a really strong taste. The spot has some nice things to buy from homeland. Will be back!

I am Venezuelan specifically from Maracaibo. I am afraid that I have to give this place a poor review. The food is not good at all. I had the Venezuelan sampler. The food was not hot, not fresh at all and not authentic, in the sampler the shredded beef was season as a Cuban “ropa viaje” and trust me i LOVE ropa viaja but that is not a Cuban place, the “cachapa” was very pasty and the list goes on. The Hallaca was ok but think because everything else was bad my mind was already turned off by the food and the hallaca was also cold and they took forever to bring it out because they were heating it up. For drinks we had papelon and it was good and my cafe latte was good. Needles to say, not good at all! My entire bill was roughly $50 The atmosphere is cute. And just as I am giving a poor revi
