      There are three sizes for a delicious margarita. I hab a Rough day and ordered the large. It was humongous AND delicious. If you can't finish it, like I did, you can home what's left. I also had the Baja Fish Tacos, crispy and tasty. A good place to eat in Lancaster.

      Don Gus is one of my favorite "go to's" when I want some individual time "me" time, but when I get there it never fails I don't get any "me" time because the staff there treat you like family, like they've known you forever. BERNEY, Jr., Alex, Gustavo, and all the rest. (There are too many to name) I feel warm and at home here at Don Gus. The food is also top quality, I recommend the Caldo De Res on Fridays and Saturdays, and Gustavos wife Angelica can make the best tableside guacamole. Thank you guys at Don Gus for the warm hospitality. Berney the waiter is hands on, hands down .

      They have the best margaritas! Try the Fire mango Margarita. The waiters are awesome. This is our go to spot. The food is also delicious and they never disappoint!! We've been here so many times now and never get bored of it! The place in general is just great, we're always so well received and that makes the atmosphere welcoming and comfortable. We will keep coming back!

      Berny was our waiter for both visits to Don Gus so far.

      I only say that, because as soon as we walked in the door for my second visit, he greeted me as if I was returning royalty. Turns out that he had read my prior review and taken note of it.

      Our prior visit must've been simply bad timing. Berny made sure that we were very well taken care of on this visit. We certainly shall return.

      Service Grreat / Food = delicious. Bernie is always ready ..I walk through the door and he has all my sauces ready, words cannot explain.. he is on point. Super nice. Everyone does a great job but Bernie is impressive. Definitely one of the best places in town. I appreciate their service and food.

      The ambiance at Don Gus is homey and comfortable. While it isn't fancy, the food is absolutely delicious, and one of the best Mexican Restaurants in Lancaster (if not THE best). The service can take a bit, but it's nice to enjoy your drink and relax. We will definitely return.
