Guapo's

Food has always been very good. This was the first brunch foray and it did not disappoint. The plating illustrates how much pride they take in their food. It's not more pricey than the other Guapos I'm familiar with, but very much worth it. Let me stress how extraordinarily tasty the food is here and has been consistently over the last 4 years. You WILL love it. If you come for dinner, might I recommend the Seafood Enchiladas 🤤 So good!

Limited vegetarian options but they were happy to switch meat for veggies for us! The ambiance is an absolute vibe! They bring a whole ensemble for birthdays! The food was hot & good quality!

Haven't been, because of moving, since 2011 and our certainly didn't disappoint. The best, authentic, delicious food we have ever had. The service was fast and friendly. So so so good!!!

Did you know Guapo’s has a lunch special? $14.99 Forewarning that the mini quesadillas have pork belly which you may or may not like. Service is always prompt and friendly!

Very fun and lively atmosphere. The service is always fast. All the staff are helpful and polite. The food is always hot and delicious.

Excellent food and ambience in the village. Chips and Salas, Fajita, Quesadilla, Enchilada, Soup, Tress Leche were awesome!

Never disappointed with this place. The food and service is consistently good. There’s a lot of free parking within a block or two and very accessible. The setting is casual, comfortable, and clean. I love the warm salsa there and could live on it. This time I had the chicken burrito. My wife went with her tried and true chile relleno, and my son chicken enchiladas. As always, food was great.

I have gone to different locations and I continue to return to this one. The customer service was incredible, from the moment you walk in. Wilmer was the server and was very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. The food at this location is well seasoned and menu variety. The prices for the amount of food, are more than reasonable. Kudos to the staff and of course the waiter for making the experience great.

super fun good food good ambiance can be loud but what place isn't during happy hour great margaritas!

Came here earlier for Cinco de Mayo with my boyfriend. It was crowded!!! We were told that it would be an hour wait, so we asked to be seated at the bar. As we were walking to the bar, a waitress approached us and asked if we were looking for seating because there was additional seating outside. We were excited because it meant we wouldn't have to wait. She sat us outside, and shortly after we had fresh tortilla chips with two types of salsa handed to us. It was great! The menu is pretty standard for Mexican food with traditional options. I got combo chicken and steak fajitas with a passion fruit margarita. My boyfriend got pollo saltado. The food came out pretty quickly and it was piping hot!! It was so tasty. I really enjoyed it. Our server was great. He was manning the back section outside and didn't miss a beat. He refilled our waters, checked in, and seemed very positive despite all the noise going on. I would definitely come back here again and recommend!

This was our first time! We waited an hour to be seated but heard some many great things we waited it out. We ordered the Guapos Sampler with bacon wrapped shrimp, steak and chicken. It come out on a sizzle plate with 3 tortillas. We also added the guacamole with bacon. Signature salsa and chips were included. Hubby has the original margarita I had strawberry margarita with sugar. I also ordered the steak and chicken quesadilla. Ambiance was cool. Loud in the bar but quieter in the main room . Would we return? Yes we loved the bacon wrapped shrimp, drinks and service Price point- decent Definitely worth the drive from Maryland

4/23/24 7 PM TUESDAY This place is PACKED, PACKED, PACKED! A friend recommended this place so I had high expectations. Beautiful venue. The dishes spoke for themselves, so I want to give a particular SHOUT OUT to the employees! I was impressed with the staff. They were a TEAM. The waiters on the floor helped each other and if we asked for something never said, " Let me get your waiter". We were seated immediately, the waitress took our order, and we didn't really wait too long for our meals. The dishes were warm and not COLD....which can sometimes happen when it's busy. They were attentive throughout our meal. It's been awhile since we've been able to experience great service! Customers with pets were seated outside on the lanai. Excited to return again!!

One of my favorite Mexican places in the DMV. The Vibes are strong. Music in the air. You can sit outside on a nice breezy day. We started with taquitos as an appetizer. They were fresh and the meat was braised in some beautiful sauce. The chips and salsa was great as well they come complimentary. Our food came out fast and fresh. My chimichanga was lightly fried and the beans and rice were hitting. My friend enjoyed her steak quesadilla which was tender and well seasoned. High quality meat. Churros was the best part. The Dulce de leche was heavenly with the warm churros. We were stuffed and satisfied.

Guapo's in Arlington has redeemed itself! After a previous disappointing experience, I'm thrilled to report a remarkable turnaround. The revamped atmosphere is inviting, and the service has significantly improved. Great music and attentive bartenders elevate the bar experience, while the taco dorados are simply phenomenal. Don't hesitate to give Guapo's another chance - you won't regret it!

My first time at Guapo's was underwhelming but my second time was really really good! Guapo's has such a fun environment! It's really loud inside from what I've experienced but the outside isn't so loud in comparison. If you come during peak hours be prepared to wait a little bit but it's worth it. Really enjoyed my time. I'll be back!

I wrongly assume every Tex mex place will be roughly the same but I was pleasantly surprised by Guapo's service and food, and now I find myself planning excursions that will lead to enjoying a meal there. The first time I dined here, there were no fewer than 6 birthday celebrations happening, which is telling about this type of establishment! There is A LOT of staff at this restaurant, even during the slower hours between peak lunch and dinner on weekends, which means the staff can be very attentive. Each time I've dined here, the staff keeps a close eye on how full the chip basket and water glasses are, and regularly come by to ask if we want more chips -- even before the basket is empty! -- and to refill our water, even though each table gets their own pitcher of water. The food is incredible. Chicken elsewhere can be bland and/or boring, but not here! The chicken here is so well seasoned and never dry! We have enjoyed the guacamole, taco salad, and chimichangas.

Quite literally the best fajita I've ever had! Usually when you ask for meat medium rare, it's almost never cooked medium rare. HOWEVER ... they delivered. And paired with the margarita? *chefs kiss* also, our server Rosa was absolutely an angel. I'm coming back and I'm absolutely requesting her once again!

Loveeeee the free chips and salsa. And the two types of salsa they bring you. Came here for a quick lunch with colleagues. We ordered guacamole - it was freaking delicious. I ordered the chicken enchiladas, too. While not the best I've ever had, they had good flavor. The rice was really good, too. Beans not so much, but I have high standards. The ambiance was pretty standard for a local Mexican spot. The service was great - they were super attentive. Will be back for sure.

Great dinner. Food was delish! We had a large group, had to wait a bit for the table. There was a large bar for the group to wait. The service took a bit, large group. Service was nice and once ordered the food came out quickly. The food was delish!!! The chips were light, crispy, fresh. The guacamole was soooo good. The queso was ok. The Birria tacos were delish! Lots of meat. Crispy shell. Very tasty. The consommé was very good. The refried beans and rice was just ok. Definitely recommend.

Absolutely love this spot!! Great food great service great ambiance!!! Family friendly staff is professional and friendly!! Would recommend to anyone looking for great food and great service!!

Service - in my opinion, one of the best parts! My partner and I came here on Christmas Eve and it was packed to the brim, although service was still wonderful and servers kind (which I think is a good sign for a restaurant). Ambiance - cute around the holidays, cute in general! Food - delicious and fresh, truly no complaints!!! Loved the chips. Definitely check out Guapo's :)

I love this place. First time at this location but the food definitely did not disappoint. He said Taco Tuesday Taco Bell (clutched my PEARLS) who's that?! Absolutely NOT Hey! Let's step up our palates a little bit. Beautiful scenery, lively atmosphere. Great location. The service was excellent. There are so many different choices for delicious options other than TACOS. Take your time and get something that will satisfy your appetite. We will definitely be back!

Had another visit here, and guess what? My first takeout experience, and it was a winner! Tried their chicken tortilla soup for the first time, and being a Texan who adores Tex-Mex, it totally hit the authenticity mark. Sweet potato in tortilla soup was a surprise, but a delightful one. The soup stole the show, but my salad was a bit basic - just lettuce, palm hearts, black olives, and a truckload of onions. No fireworks there, but hold up--the dressing was a game-changer. Oh, and let's talk salsa--it was good, but a tad more heat and salt could amp it up. Almost forgot to mention this teeny green sauce that came with my order--it was a flavor bomb. Seriously wish they sold it in jars. By the way, shoutout to the stellar customer service--it definitely added to the experience. Despite the salad hiccup, Guapos remains a go-to for me. If you're down with a cold and craving some soup, give them a shot--totally recommend it!

HANDS DOWN the BEST Barria Tacos in the DMV!!!!!!!! Really puts all my other Barria Taco places I've tried to shame. I feel like this was a real Barria Taco experience hahahaaa! All the others were "play pretend". All this time I've been coming to Guapos, how am I just seeing these on the menu???!!!! This location has really changed a bit. I personally liked the old layout at the bar lol but anyhoo the food is always good and CONSISTENT!!! Always fresh and full of flavor. Good flavors that my taste buds love! The Barria Tacos today were absolutely delicious! And full of flavor. Honestly, I could've added some carrots and potatoes to the consume and it would've made for a delicious soup! The corn tortillas were hot and crispy and the cheese wasn't overpowering...the cilantro and onions brought everything together just right... The tacos were served with rice and refried beans. All that was missing was my Mexican corn lol but the Corn Tamale was just as good...I also ordered some plantains which were nice and hot. And quit a helping for the order more than enough to share. My cousin ordered the same thing and she loved the tacos. Service was great as usual and we are looking forward to returning. Guapos menu is full of yummy food. So much to pick from...I really don't think you can go wrong with anything you order from here. Happy Yelping!!!

Guapo's is so much fun! The vibe and service here are top-notch. Our server brought out chips and salsa while we were deciding what to get, and she was very helpful with recommendations. We started with the house grande margaritas, and I got the carne asada fajitas, delicious and really worth it. We came on a Saturday night with a group of 4, this location doesn't take reservations on Saturdays so we waited about 45 min for our table, something to keep in mind on busy nights.

Excellent appetisers and fresh pina coladas! What more can you ask for? This place has a cool dancing bar vibe on one side and sit down restaurant on the other side. I highly recommend this restaurant! PS: The location is so perfect for a nice walk and a dancing night!

My family and I came here slightly before brunch time was over. The standout item for me was the steak and egg, which was delicious but I wished they were more eggs. It seemed like I only got literally one scrambled egg. I was disappointed to find out that the corn fritter, another delightful dish, isn't part of their regular dinner menu - I really wanted more of it. The salmon and scallops (salmon Cancun on the menu) were a favorite with my family as multiple people ordered it. Additionally, the chips and salsa were fresh and quite tasty. I definitely plan to come back again!

Like always, Guapo great service food was excellent. Service was great. We had superior, Loma Salado

Guapo's is our go to Mexican restaurant in Northern Virginia. Their chips and guac are the best in town. My favorite dish is their steak fajita, the steak is cooked right and the sauce is delicious. It's pretty crowded during the weekend, but we usually get seated right away. They also celebrate birthdays with a team of servers playing musical instruments and singing. Service is fast! Parking can be limited in Shirlington during rush hours. I can usually get a spot in one of the parking garages.

This is a great location, the vibes were amazing, the DJ was playing great spanish songs. My date & i had the mangonadas and they were delicious, super refreshing! Our appetizer was the fried calamari & i had the fajita for my entree. The services was great and quick, would definitely go back.

When visiting the Arlington area for a work trip, we were looking for a simple sit down restaurant to grab some lunch before heading to the airport. There were plenty of options for indoor and outdoor dining. We choose to sit outside and we were shortly served chips and salsa and water. The servers were all very nice and our food was ready quickly. The food was served on some HUGE delicious looking plates and everything was delicious! I got the Taquitos Dorados, yum! We were definitely full by time we left! If I am in the area again, I would consider stopping by. The whole street/area around is full of other restaurant I would also like to try!

Now it's been a min since my wife slid past this spot in Shirlington. But it used to be one of our go to during a business work week. Now this particular night they had the some type of 2 person food platter on this large hot plate. I mean we definitely didn't finish it all in one sitting. Basically, it had everything, all together and steaming hot. For instance, it had 2 nice size lobster tails, fresh seasoned tenderly chicken everywhere, fresh fresh steak, of course gourmet seasoned buttered shrimp, fresh sautéed mixed vegetables and it even some type of red potatoes underneath. I'm sure I forgot something but you can see the pictures I posted.. Listen it seems like i'm babbling but trust me from the time we sat down to time we left everything was on point. I even got a chance to brush up on my spanish with the hostess and waitress. They even have live music when it's your birthday. I mean the servers, cooks and hostess and all hands on deck in the building will party with you for 29 seconds. Just don't worry about them being on beat and in harmony, but you get the point it still was live music with tambourines, maracas, a little yelling but identified as singing and we can't forget the hand held portable small toy-like congos. A real live mobile band..They were deep.. It was like a ensemble..haha.. I'm laughing at myself.. But nevertheless I sincerely recommend this place and promise you will have great time while you enjoy some delicious Mexican cuisine.. Oh and don't forget the Margaritas!!..lol

Flew in to Washington DC and Mexican Food was in for dinner. Surprisingly Google highlighted several spots all around...Guapo's kept jumping out at with a 4.5 stars and comments like "best Mexican food here" They advertise on..."From colorful sombreros to our authentic mesquite grill, Guapo's will supply you with everything needed to create a memorable and delicious fiesta..." Full disclaimer...It was not a good day for Guapo's because in my group is my 1st generation Mexican mother and no one knows quality Mexican food like my mother. The setting is pleasant and seems like a good spot to dine. It was busy for a Sunday (Superbowl Sunday) and the loud merengue and salsa music just threw me off. I honestly felt that we were the only actual Mexican anything in this whole place. Salsa n chips are my thing (kinda point this out in my reviews) I will excuse lots of things for great salsa and chips. This place didn't even come close to my rating on salsa and chips. The chips were super thin, brittle and mostly broken up into small pieces (kinda when you get the bottom of the bag chips) they were just terrble! The SALSA...hell the only salsa in this place is the music that they are playing annoyingly loud throughout the place. The concoction they intended to pass on as salsa was watered down (not even fresh) pico de gallo and a bitter dark brown/green stuff. Tasteless and just plum terrible. The drinks are watered down coca cola products and cheap alcohol infused with a margarita mix they pitch as a Margarita. Sure does look good but taste like.....rather not say. The menu has a small selection, seafood, steak or chicken. Parrillada, vegetarian or on the limb. Hell it was so limited that the one item that seemed worth trying was the Chile relleno plate. They stuffed to poblano peppers with ground beef, dipped them in eggs, fried them, threw a ton of cheese on them, added rice, beans, more cheese and called it Mexican. Well it was tasteless, poorly cooked and the rice/beans....drier than the Arizona summer. None of the other others made our list and couldn't really talk much on account of the non-stop salsa/merengue music blasting on the speakers. Oh but wait...theres more! Out come the most ridiculous crap show I've ever had the distasteful opportunity to witness. I'm sure they could hire a handful of people from the least Mexican place on Mars and have them throw on a mariachi outfit while only repeating El Mariachi Loco at the top of their lungs an this might, just maybe, help clients think ahhh MEXICO! Congas, maracas, güiro, and a cowbell....yes, salsa and merengue not Mexican. Anyhow the show was for 2 birthdays being celebrated and boy was it a ridiculously disappointing representation of Mexico. If this were a Chinese, Russian, Greek, Italian, Puerto Rican, Bolivian or any other restaurant and they pulled this crap on you...you'd agree that it's offensive. The service is poor and don't keep up with refills or additional items needed....like forks! They do come and ask if everything is good and still you need to ask multiple staff to bring you that one very important missing item....a fork! The food was bland (for my taste), the drinks could seriously use checking and in my opinion (as a traveled foody) they should seriously pick one...a Mexican Restaurant or a Caribbean Cuisine themed eatery. The restrooms are clean and well kept. Parking is a little tricky but not impossible like at the Municipal Fish Market at The Wharf. Sadly this is Not a place I would return again. The owner should hire a consultant of actual Mexican food and look into what is Mexican IF you are to refer to his establishment as a Mexican Food place. Oh and the $226.00 bill was not worth the meal, the experience or the entertainment at this place. My mother laughed at this place and I totally agree. On to the next...don't forget to tip your servers-regardless of the service you receive.

Guapos is like the old Chevys experience I had on the west coast with delicious chips and salsa. The says is super friendly singing for birthdays and making the experience a happy one. The place gets super busy but we got on a waitlist and walked around the two blocks of shops. Once seated, I ordered a delicious fajitas dinner which arrived smoking (in a good way) and the wife ordered 3 tacos. My margaritas were good but a bit on the expensive side. Overall a great dinner experience with loud music to keep everyone engaged.

Customer service is excellent! The ambiance is relaxed, fun, friendly and pleasant. We decided to sit outside and enjoy the cool weather and touristic environment. My husband decided to order chimichanga and it came with spanish rice and refried beans. I ordered the pork meat and it came with vegetables, white rice and fried plantain. The food was excellent, fresh and well seasoned. Fantastic meal, I highly recommend this restaurant.

I've been to 2 Guapo's and both restaurants never fail me. This Guapo's in Arlington is a first, so make this my 3rd. Delicious - Good Service - friendly and courteous waiters and just all staff in general. They will non stop ask you if you need anything , to me that is above and beyond. Ambiance , well depends on which side but i love it. Suits the area. Division of normal seating and the bar area. It was a very busy friday late afternoon and theres no regular table - so we got the high chair with a square table. ( mind you making all our food fit in the table is magical) We got the Guacamole , of course this is a must. They have complimentary chips and dips which they will give you seconds while you wait for your food. For drinks we got the Virgin Pina colada. Best I've ever had. Entree : Chile Releno .... Lomo Saltado which is on the Chef Special, special Ceviche .... And Marisco Saltado. Just trust me ... nothing more to say .... Amazing!!! Just simply amazing!

If you are looking for a cute and fun Sunday brunch spot with your girls, I would recommend Guapo's in Shirlington :) it's a solid tex mex restaurant with a happy and bright vibe Chicken chile relleno: originally beef, but they were kind enough to sub it! it - overall it it felt like a bang for our buck bc it could have fed two people! it could have had a little more chicken in it, and it was wrapped with egg which was different/interested. it was still good though - just a different/more unique flavor profile! Pollo lupita: as far as mexican dishes, this is a good lighter option and still quite flavorful! the shrimp pieces in it were delicious. there were only two shrimp pieces, and having more would have made it delicious, but it was mainly a chicken dish so makes sense. Chicken quesadilla: well...you just can't go wrong with a quesadilla - it was yummy :) if you're in a savory mood, you can't go wrong with Guapo's. check them out and let me know what you think ;) Service and ambiance was great. Staff and waiters accommodated food as needed and overall everyone at the restaurant was really kind - we went in december, so the holiday decorations really amped up the vibe too.

Never disappointed with this place. The food and service is consistently good. There's a lot of free parking within a block or two and very accessible. The setting is casual, comfortable, and clean. I love the warm salsa there and could live on it. This time I had the chicken burrito. My wife went with her tried and true chile relleno, and my son chicken enchiladas. As always, food was great.

We came and sat at the bar. Were instantly greeted at door by multiple hosts and other employees. Huuggeee space so much outdoor seating. Bar service was a little slow but we didn't. When seats you get chips and salsa and we ordered white queso (finally somewhere in DMV that has the white queso) and were STUFFED so we didn't get entrees but we will be back to try some out. We did see other peoples portions and they were huge. We also got margs and the Dos Equis amber. Margs (the specific one I got) are pre made but it was so good! Will deff be checking out their location closer to us!

The hot salsa that comes with the chips is absolutely phenomenal and the housemate tortillas are delicious. The frozen drinks are amazing. The entrees we've had have all been totally acceptable but nothing special. The service is slow and often poor. My partner and I have been sat at tables that really shouldn't exist far too often. Many of these tables are in the middle of walkways so the hosts have to walk people right into the guests sitting--we've had our tables bumped and had to hold our plates and drinks down way too often. The requests we've made to adjust menu items often go ignored. We have stopped ordering the delicious sopapillas because they always showed up with the honey smothering them after the server confirmed our request for the honey to be served on the side--I wish they would just start saying that the kitchen doesn't do adjustment requests since they don't seem to ever follow through. The music is always too loud. This restaurant is always crowded, we don't need 200 decibel music to make everyone scream across the table to talk to their date. There is no room to dance in this restaurant, I can't fathom why they think they need the music so obscenely loud.

Superb lunch. Just had a quesadilla with shrimp but it was fresh and accompanied with a small side of guacamole, sour cream and salsa. Speaking of salsa I could have drank the salsa offered with chips. Chips were so light and crisp. Loved the lunch and service at the bar.

Came here on a Sunday for an early dinner and it was packed! Lively atmosphere and friendly service. If it wasn't raining I would've sat outside on their patio that had several tables with umbrellas. Their menu was huge with lots of options, making it difficult to choose what to get. I ended up ordering the taco salad with chicken. Loved the crispy flour tortilla shell and their tangy house dressing that tastes like chipotle ranch. My white sangria was so good, I got 2 and felt great after! Will definitely be back soon. I'm impressed with how much Shirlington has built up, especially this town center.

I know we are lucky to have places. It's is 6:58pm and Guapos didn't plan their staff well today. Been sitting here for a long time for food to come out and I see a lot of people waiting as well. Typically their service is fast but not today. Also, they are slammed, full bar and only 1 bartender until a second ago. Now there's 2. A Nice day will always equal more people going out to eat .

Excellent quality of attention, specially of Selvin Antonio B. I think he was the best server on this restaurant. Thank you so much.

The bar is huge. They were playing music, but I don't think they do every night. The food was pretty good and authentic. Our server was knowledgeable at the menu.

I've eaten at this Guapo's location in Shirlington twice now. They have some of the best service I've experienced. Both times, my party of two were sat immediately (even on a busy night) and instantly checked in with by the waiter. They're extremely efficient. Drinks were refilled before they were low, chips were refilled just as we got down to the smaller pieces, food arrived fresh and fast. Waiter checked in multiple times to make sure we were satisfied and enjoying the meal. It almost seems that they overstaff slightly to make sure everyone's is taken care of; waiters were literally "on standby" surveying the dining area to respond if anybody needed anything. The Alcopulco Steak was my favorite, and honestly the best steak that I've had in ages. Cooked perfectly, great flavor, very tender. The Queso is also very good. Great food, great atmosphere, great service. An instant favorite.

Food was good. Service is excellent and the atmosphere is welcoming. The salsa tasted home made.

I thoroughly enjoyed my dining experience, particularly the seafood burrito that I ordered. Filled with a generous amount of shrimp and a few delectable scallops, the flavors were perfectly balanced to create a delightful culinary experience. The seafood essence was present without being overwhelming, and the addition of the Cancun sauce provided an extra layer of tastiness. The guacamole was a standout element, boasting large, creamy avocado chunks enhanced by a hint of zesty lime. To complement my meal, I sipped on a frozen Margarita that was expertly crafted and perfectly refreshing, adding a touch of sweetness and sophistication to the overall dining experience. Each component of my meal, from the seafood burrito to the guacamole and the frozen Margarita, contributed to a memorable and satisfying meal that I will undoubtedly crave again in the future.

Excellent food and service. Great ambience. Eat here at least twice a month. Really big portions and potent drinks.

My husband was skeptical about the authenticity of the food but it is great quality Tex-mex food and once he tried it, he became a believer. We love to stop in for a margarita loca or mezcal margarita and some guapomole. We're addicted to the fresh made flour tortillas and the service is always great here.

I have alway enjoyed coming to Shirlington Village because of the amazing free parking, convenient location between me and my friends and the time it takes for me to get from DC to this area. They have a new improved bar, but the music is very loud. Oh be sure to ask for the HH menu as well. I would recommend that you sit somewhere other than under the various speakers in the bar area or grab you a table in the main diing area. The main dining area is still quite noisy, but not too loud. We had kids that were between 10-13 with us in the bar area so we could sit down more quickly. The main area does not have reservations and that's a good thing because its too crowded and too much to manage and keep track of people. Here's what I typically order from this place where you can't go wrong. -Queso and chips -Guacamole and chips -Carne Asada (medium rare) -Classic Margarita -Skinny Margarita Thank you for always providing the complimentary chips and salsa, they are addicting so be careful. The best part of bringing someone here for their birthday is the staff gathers around, sing to you and makes you wear that that wide sombrero hat which is annoyingly funny especially for extroverts. A go to Mexican place that's easy, fun and has consistent good food.

Margaritas, margaritas, margaritas!!! Oh yeah, I can't forget about the fresh chips made in house. They are thin, crispy and brought to the table warm.

Ok guapos is by far my favorite Mexican spot in nova. You will not go wrong with the carne asada. Idk what they do to it but it just taste soo damn good. Service is consistent and amicable. Ambience is always full with people who are enjoying themselves. Trust me and get the carne asada. I don't even eat it with the tortillas that come with it because it isn't necessary. Also the guac is so fresh I'm always surprised at how good it tastes.

No one can beat the service. The food is really good. Best place for a family or date night.

Food it's been terrible for like the last 3 times I been there. It was my last time. I went for brunch and was terrible.

My stomach gets all in knots thinking of this place. Having been in CA for the past almost decade, the fondest memories bring me back to Guapos, particularly this location. Ayyyee... The steak fajita is so delicious and enough to share. The freshest tortillas. The tamal de elote. The cold glide of the margarita... I mean, what else is there to say?! Street parking can be a pain in the tuckus, but there's a garage nearby, so save yourself the headache and start there. They do get busy, and there's usually a good wait on any day. Be patient, and go grab a cold margarita...be easy on the chips and salsa! Ha.

We dined here on a Friday and I loved how many "WOOO"s I heard - you can definitely tell people were having a great time. The margaritas are delicious - I got the spicy guava one and the mango one. For starters, we shared the platanos fritos and classic ceviche. The platanos were so tender with a scrumptious sweetness. The ceviche was so refreshing on a hot day. For my entree, I got the mariscada. This was a seafood stew with fluffy white rice. There was so much seafood - giant squid, clams, scallop and mussels! The rice was yummy in the stew as well. 4 stars because the music was very loud and I could barely hear my husband! It was also very dark. Next time I would request sitting outside!

It's Guapo's and we had fun! We took a high top in the rear of the recently renovated bar area. The music was loud but it was festive. The service was great and we had a couple of quesadillas and a burrito . We weren't very hungry after eating crabs and other seafood earlier in the day. Let's face it they have their operations down to a science. The food is always hot, consistent, and it comes out fast. If you know, you know.
