The Food was good with big portions. The drinks were very reasonable. Daily happy hour from 3 to 6 pm on rail drinks and margaritas. We got a lot of food with drinks for a cheap price. I notice they have great outdoor seating for the summer time.

Food is great at this local restaurant. If you come on a Wednesday night, you might be treated to their car show. Authentic Mexian food.

We went on a weeknight and the service was so-so, waitress was sort of annoying to be honest. I ordered a plate which included beans and rice and left hungry which is unusual for a Mexican restaurant. Even more unusual is to spend $7 on a margarita and not feel it a bit. Not expecting to get drunk off one... More

What a wonderful place for Mexican food! Endless nachos and a fine selection on menu. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit.

Although I have had worse mexican food in town Gus' is close to the bottom because nothing stands out as good. The service was ok, but the food has no flavor. Gus' really does not give you any reason to go back.

We always saw a lot of cars parked outside so we finally stopped in to try it, well if you like basically bland food and aren't used to good authentic Mexican food you might like it, but we were not impressed, and it wasn't a deal either so some people must like it but we can say we tried it...

The mexican pizza was good. But the Margaritas tasted water down, And were were on the small side for the price. I also had to ask for chips and Salsa and they tasted like the were left over from lunch. We ate around 4 PM.

I looked at the menu on-line beforehand, since I had never been there. I was meeting some cousins for dinner and wanted to have an idea of what to order. I had a combination plate, so I could try a couple different things. First of all, the food was wonderful! My enchiladas were awesome and the chicken taco was very... More

They sponsor a car show every Wednesday night during the warm months. Sometimes a "disk jocky" is present. Gus also provides the ability to grab a snack or have a "sit down" meal in the resturant. Everybody has a great time !!!

Chicken burrito, boiled shredded chicken with absolutely no seasoning, put into a flour tortilla, sprinkled with onion and cheese, sour cream is extra. When I complained to the owner he said its the first complaint in 35 years. My friends meal - 3 chimichangas were basically like store bought taquitos. Half of each one was nothing but tortilla.
