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!
With the way this lovely couple met, it's amazing their business failed. I mean, I'm young and easy going but I wouldn't trust her or him as far as I could throw them
You agreed to make a law to take peoples children out of there home for any little thing I feel like if there is no abuse no violence no neglect no molestation you shouldn't take children from their homes if there not in danger or harm people that do drugs shouldnt loose their kids because they have an addiction they should be helped in wich way they can taking children out of there homes is not the answer nor the solution 90% of time you make the situation worser than what it is do you think that it's fair to the children putting them through this who would even ever come up with this its unfair one of the presidents used marjuana did they take his children or freedom the law is crooked and its alot of dirty people taking advantage of it god isn't unfair to us so we shouldnt be unfair to others something needs to be done about now not later this world is corrupt and the people in it this is a disgrace to man kind I'm going to pray for justice
Getting to perform there again!
