Me gusta --> I like (singular or uncountable noun)
Le gusta --> He/She/it likes (singular or uncountable noun). Also used with "you" when it's formal. e.g. A usted le gusta el chocolate -> You like chocolate. ("usted" is "you" in a formal conversation)
Te gusta --> You like (singular or uncountable noun). This form is mostly used in informal conversation
Gustan (with an "n") is used for plural and countable nouns.
Examples:
(singular)
Me gusta la leche (I like milk)
A él le gusta la leche (He likes milk)
A ella le gusta bailar (She likes to dance/She likes dancing)
A tí te gusta correr (You like to run/You like running)
A usted le gusta correr (You like to run/You like running) formal
(plural)
Nos gustan los perros. (We like dogs)
A él le gustan los perros (He likes dogs)
A ella le gustan los gatos (She likes cats)
A tí te gustan los perros (You like dogs)

GUSTA is for I -HE-SHE - IT /e.g. Me gusta el pollo- Me gustaN las frutas.
A Juan le gusta el pastel . A él le gustaN las chicas
A mi mamá le gusta su carro - A ella le gustaN los niños
A mi perro le gusta la carne . A mi mascota le gustaN las canicas.
A nosotros nos gusta este tv - A nosotros nos gustaN los deportes.
So, we use GUSTA when we are talking about a single or uncountable noun and, GUSTAN when we are talking about more than one thing,person or animal, situation etc.

Me gusta --> I like
Te gusta --> You like
Le gusta --> He / She likes
example: Me gusta esta casa. = I like this house. --- Me gustan estas casas. = I like these houses. (and that 's when "gustan" is used.)
