I got the tacos governador, they're shrimp tacos with grilled onions, bell peppers, and cheese. They were amazing. The shrimp was so fresh, plump, and perfectly grilled. The onions and peppers still had a little crunch to them, so all the textures worked beautifully together. I took my food to go and rated a 5/5, but I'm sure it would have been even better if I ate it immediately there if that's even possible. It also came with this special sauce, but it didn't really need it. They were amazing as is. I did like dipping my chips in the sauce. I also loved the chips and salsa. They're the thicker cut chips and can hold a lot. The salsa was fresh and no heat to it, but you could taste the peppers. The employees were very nice and helped me because I came in thinking I knew exactly what I wanted lol but completely forgot the name. It seems like a local restaurant because the employees were very friendly with all the customers there, and seemed like they knew everyone. If I have time before I leave, I'll definitely come back! Thank you for a great dinner and first proper meal in Virginia!

So, Sophia and I ate lunch over the weekend to see if the word of mouth held up. Let's find out, shall we? We were promptly seated when we walked inside. There wasn't a huge amount of people seated for lunch which was just fine with us. The restaurant isn't that big with a bad set up in the front and a dining area with tables. Mexican music was blasting through the system and TVs were showing sports and TV shows. And the staff was busy serving customers. All in all, a very good vibe. After a few minutes looking over the menu, the both of us were ready to order. We both ordered 4 tacos each (Sophia ordered 2 chorizo and 2 carne asada). I selected a birria, lengua, chorizo and carne asada. Everything was delicious. All the proteins were well-cooked and the veggies and available sauces helped with each bite. No real complaints from any of us. A wonderful lunch here. It's pretty cool when you find a mew place which will be on repeat. Till next time :)

I decided to get it because I wanted a quick taco and Taco Bell was going to charge me $6.00 for 1. I saw this restaurant and with 2 tacos, chips and a side, I paid a great price for fresh food.

We came here two weekends ago actually as a Plan B because our first choice ran out of food items. Let's see if our Plan B worked out. Seating was available for the most part when we walked in.

After looking through the menu for a bit, I chose the buffalo chicken fries. It's actually an appetizer dish, but I actually got full before finishing. I took the leftovers home and finished that evening. Another great stop here for the both of us. What more can you ask for receiving great food with great care from the staff. You know we'll be back here :)

Long version: So I went to check out this Mexican spot in Hampton and it was pretty interesting. The little mall that this place is in looks run down and I was wondering if my car was going to get broken into while it was parked there. But once you get inside this place has some interesting vibes and tons of fun decorations. I got the California burrito with a Mexican Coke and highly recommend! It is a 14 inch burrito that you can hold in your hand with guac, shredded Monterey Jack, carne asada steak, crispy fries with cotija cheese. There was a big group of people (maybe 10-12) in there when we arrived that was eating up a lot of the attention of the one waiter. Also, we had a long wait for food because they actually ran out of steak that was prepped and so they had to prep more and grill it up for the burrito. My friend got the OG burrito which he thought was good, but was a little soggy from the juice from the chicken. Even with everything, I would still recommend this place, and their California burrito was amazing.

We got the bulgogi cheesesteak egg rolls (6 pieces). They are always a big hit. It's a large appetizer so definitely shareable for a group. We then tried the Asian Zing wings and their ranch. Both are amazing. The wings were sauced really well and weren't too spicy but had plenty of flavor. The ranch was AMAZING. My boyfriend got the chicken bacon pineapple burrito bowl and had plenty of food. He said it was balanced "yummy". Finally, I got the sweet-n-salty jerk chicken taco and a pew pew shrimp taco. The jerk chicken had a bit more spice than I like to it and not enough of the pineapple to cut it. The pew pew taco was two large shrimp which I ended up eating with a fork because the taco was too full to get a bite of everything. Overall everything was really good. Whoever was on the chive station cut them too big and was a little heavy handed. Overall, great food & a good atmosphere (if you're ok with sports on the TV and an eclectic playlist)! They have a stage for live music and it looked like a game room. Will have to check that out next time!

After Sophia and I went to the movies over the weekend, we finally got the chance to check them out. Let's see if they lived up to the hype. We were promptly seated after walking inside. It's very spacious where you can have a small gathering. Amazingly, we were only one of two couples inside during lunch time. Traveling in this part of Newport News can have you blink and miss the location. Nonetheless, service was good. As far as the food goes, very good and filling. I forgot the exact burrito I ordered but it came filled with chicken, chorizo and rice topped with queso and pico de gallo. Both proteins are some of my favorites in Mexican dishes. I did think the amount of rice was more than the protein but not to where it was a disappointment. It was a minute since I ate a burrito and this one satisfied yours truly. There are a few factors why I gave Guapo's 4 out of 5. For starters, our table wasn't completely clean. Even if the place isn't full, you have to have decor spotless no matter what. Also, they were doing some painting near the window. It was strong at first but the scent decreased later on. When it came to chips and salsa, the dropped the ball sort of speak. The chips were cold to the touch and the salsa was underwhelming for Sophia's taste. Other than the snafus, our visit was good. This spot is one that we'll definitely repeat. Till next time :)

We ordered two carne asada burritos and a lingua taco, which came with French fries. Of course, chips and salsa were included, and they gave us a bowl of queso dip. The lingua taco was good, but in my opinion, it could have been softer. However, if you like a bit of texture, then it's perfect for you. The carne asada burrito had a good flavor, but the meat was tough, and we found several fat gristles. Also, I wouldn't say I liked the sour cream drizzled over the burrito. The French fries were pale and bland; some seasoning would have made them better. The chips and salsa were good, but the significant cilantro cuts in the salsa were a bit too much. The service was excellent! Our server was very friendly and attentive. He even brought out another basket of chips and salsa. The dining area has an open floor set up to accommodate a small group. The decor is stylish and has an ocean vibe, as they serve various seafood dishes. My overall experience was good, but I was slightly disappointed by the quality of the carne asada burritos. I would rate the food 3.5 out of 5 stars and intend to try other items on the menu. However, the excellent service I received bumped up my overall rating to a 4.
