  2. Lou, I had mouth watering just by reading your review. I recently was in this restaurant with family and friends and I can tell you THIS IS A REAL TASTE OF MEXICO. Forget about those restaurants that claim being "authentic Mexican food". Don Gusto P.J. has the most Authentic regional taste of Mexican food. My wife is from Mexico City and she can tell this was like home. It's a small place, but the greatness of Don Gusto P.J. is the real authentic taste of Mexican Food and the friendly service. By the way, this is a family owned and operated business. Great review, Lou!
