Gusanoz Mexican Restaurant

Birria was rock hard, quesadillas were under stuffed and bland (picture attached; every piece looked like that), Burger was raw. Beans were fine. Rice was actually pretty good. It took 45 minutes for the food to come out. Service was fine. Atmosphere was fine. I didn't expect authenticity but this was just plain bad food at ridiculous prices.

We were in the area for 2 weeks visiting family & friends. Some family suggested Gusano’s for dinner & drinks so we met there. Seated quickly and our drink order was taken quickly as well. Appetizers were ordered and were very good. Atmosphere was good. Dinners were ordered and everyone seemed to enjoy what they ordered. I’ve been eating Mexican food in the San Diego, LA, and Phoenix areas for 60 years so I know Mexican food. Tried some pozole to test it… it was very good… different than I’ve had before… but that’s fine! Also had the Chicken Mole w/ Rice & Beans… it was good but not great. The New England area had very limited places that serve Mexican food let alone good Mexican food. With that in mind, I would go again.

I’m uploading videos of Gusanoz’ infamous tequila flight, which I have long wanted to try. As well as a review of each of the margaritas tasted in the flight. We also enjoyed a dessert: the house made churros. These are sweet and taste like carnival food. They look like mozzarella sticks instead of the crunchy long, narrow pinwheel shapes. This must be a churros recipe specific to the region in Mexico these are inspired by. I also tried the pork carnitas for the first time. Top them with the raw onions and cilantro with salsa or salsa verde and you have the perfect flavor combination. Everything was delicious and fabulous!

Now, for the review of the margarita flight:

1.) La Kariño is made of Patrón silver with a floater of Grand Marnier on the side. Adding the floater of Grand Marnier makes it taste like a really strong tequila drink. I don’t need it that strong actually but I tasted very little of the orange taste of the Grand Marnier. Most people will love this drink. As a lightweight, I would pour less of the Grand Marnier in.

2.) La Chochis is the house tequila with raspberry liquor. I’m not as much a fan of this one because it taste more like pomegranate juice than raspberry liqueur. If you like the taste of pomegranate, then you will like this drink.

According to Wikipedia, Grand Marnier is a French brand of liqueurs. The brand's best-known product is Grand Marnier Cordon Rouge, an orange-flavored liqueur created in 1880 by Alexandre Marnier-Lapostolle. It is made from a blend of Cognac brandy, distilled essence of bitter orange, and sugar, containing 40% alcohol (70 British proof/ 80 US proof).

3.) La China is tart and strong. It is made with the house tequila and blue curaçao. According to Wikipedia, Curacao is a liqueur flavored with the dried peel of the bitter orange variety laraha, a citrus fruit grown on the Caribbean island of Curaçao. The liqueur is available in … orange-colored and blue [dyed] curaçao. Blue curaçao's vibrant color adds a tropical feel to cocktails. Its flavor is bitter and sweet orange.

4.) Rosy is the house tequila with cranberry juice. I really like that too! It’s very mild and you can taste the cranberries.

5.) Uca is sweet and easy with pineapple juice. I love it!

6.) The Huesos margarita is made with the house tequila and melon liqueur. This one tastes like a fun adult Kool-Aid, although you can definitely taste the tequila. Love this one the most!

I am from Texas and know a little about Mexican food. This was great. The salsa was fresh and excellent. Chips were great and I had the Birria tacos and I have to say these were the best I have ever had. Sauce was just as great. I have nothing negative to say about this restaurant.

Our server, (Jasmine??) was great at her job & so sweet with my daughter today. The food & service were awesome.

I wish the food was better. I got the steak fajitas and they were burnt. They nickled and dimed me for everything too. Flavor wasn’t great. I won’t be back.

The food is not fresh. They use all frozen products: chicken, beef, pork. The sauces are from a jar and the soups are also from a can.
