Visited Guapo's for a graduation with a party of 14 and the service was impeccable. Our server Evelyn went above and beyond and paced our food out nicely. She remembered every detail and made this experience memorable. I loved the noise level we were able to have conversations without yelling and the music was at a volume of where you could enjoy and vibe without having to yell.
We tried their revamped menu I will say a must try is their steak fajitas and the canelo cocktailHelpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Jan 3, 2025Seated via Yelp Reservations
This restaurant has been a staple in my family for years. The chips and salsa are always fresh and the margaritas are affordable and tasty. This visit I ordered the Chile rellenos which were massive and very filling but also very heavy (comes with the territory I suppose). My dad enjoyed his salad and my mom loved her tacos. The tortilla soup here is also perfect for a winter day! Service was good as well.

I have been coming here occasionally and I would say tonight specifically was perfect. From the beginning to the end service and food was exceptional. The occasion was for my wife earning her bachelor's degree. The vibe and setting was wonderful. I had the Guapos Superior and it was amazing. I wish I can take a pic of it but everything was gone by the time I wrote this review. The plate was amazing. Evelyn our main waitress for tonight was awesome. Her attention and attitude was what Guapo's represent. Excellent service. I will continue to come to this location because of her and the staff here. Thank you for an enjoyable and great night here.

I came here for dinner on a Friday night with some family while visiting Washington, DC. It was busy but we were seated after not too long of a wait. The interior decor is on par with your average Tex-Mex restaurant - vibrant colors and music playing. We ordered drinks and one entry each for five people. The total with tax was an astounding $192! The steak fajitas alone were $28 alone, for something I have gotten at other restaurants for $17 or $18 max. My carnitas fajitas came in a good size portion, with yellow rice and beans, but the flavor was just average. Unfortunately, that was the consensus for the rest of the food we ordered: overpriced Tex Mex. On the plus side, our server was very attentive, making sure our plates were cleared and waters were filled. Though my DC family likes this place, I was quite disappointed and would not spend time or money here again.

My favorite Mexican, Tex-Mex restaurant of all time! I've been coming here for over 20 years and love it everytime. The service is phenomenal, food is top tier, and we are always running into friends from the neighborhood. Very lively setting inside on busy nights. They have plenty of margarita flavors to choose from aside from their classics. I'll continue to remain a patron here as long as they are open!

Service is top notch, margaritas are tasty, and you can't go wrong on any food choice. There is a ton of indoor seating, a 2nd level, and a patio.

Had a delightful lunch here yesterday. Although it was pretty warm outside, we elected to sit outside in their covered seating facing Wisconsin Avenue. The covering provided sufficient cover so it was very pleasant.
Immediately upon being seated, we received chips and two salsas (chips and salsas were warm!). The chips were nice and crisp and seemed fresh. The one salsa (smooth pureed tomatoes) and the other was a chunky pico de gallo, with bits of onion and tomato. Very good.
There were three of us. We each got an entree from the lunch menu (although full menu is offered all day). One had the Burrito Bowl Carnitas ($12.95) - the person asked for no rice, and was given extra beans, which was nice. One had the Tacos al Carbon with Chicken ($20.95), with three tacos - the person took one home. I had the Burrito Bowl Shrimp ($16.95) - the shrimp were small and coated with an orange coating - not sure what it was, but the shrimp were properly cooked and tasty. I enjoyed the bowl.
The service was great. It was a hot day and the wait staff came around several times to refill water glasses (they put a pitcher on the table, but still came over from time to time to refill our glasses when they were getting low). The staff were friendly and the food came out timely.
I'm sorry I didn't take a picture of the bowls as the presentation was very nice.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Aug 31, 2023
Quality is a bit inconsistent. First time I went, I loved it. This time around my fajitas, although visually appealing, we're improperly cooked. I asked for medium well; they were more like medium rare and tasted like blood (bleh). Chips weren't as fresh as usual. The service was very, very good.
All in all, it was a bit of a mixed bag.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 1 - Feb 3, 2024
Attended a hosted party at this location in the top floor. The chips and salsa and calamari appetizer were delicious. The employees were super kind and welcoming. The drinks, both frozen and on the rocks margaritas were great. The food was pretty good! I preferred the fajitas over everything else.
