    Had my wife's Birthday dinner at El Guapo with some friends. The atmosphere, food and staff are great. El Guapo is our favorite place to go. Big shout out to Ryan the manager.

    Happy peeps!

    Pulled chicken tacos

    Had a great time on a Saturday evening! The wait was only around 15 minutes for a table for 3 people. They offer both indoor and outdoor seating. Service was incredibly fast. I think we ordered and had our food come out within 10 minutes! They offer lots of options and have dietary restrictions clearly listed on their menu. They also have a DJ around 9:30pm which was lots of fun!

    Wine is American, but in menu they write: Canada

    They scam customers: they call Washington State wine Canadian. After hour sitting here I noticed: they do not have enough staff to serve all guests (waiting for bill 20 minutes), some dishes overpriced. There is no way McDonald's side dish can be called "nachos" and be charged almost $30(with chicken added). Oh and don't let me start on quality of that overpriced dish

    I love Mexican food and good Mexican is not only hard to find but also tricky to make. I was craving it and luckily this place is walking distance to where I'm currently visiting. The atmosphere was warm and inviting with a beautiful bar and the service was great! At first the prices did strike me as a bit on the higher end, but I'm willing to pay for great food and decided to try it. I'm glad I did. I ordered the fish tacos (twice) and the El Guapo Burger. Oh my lord. The fish tacos had so many wonderful flavours going on, and as cheesy as it sounds, it felt like (yes, I'm gonna say it) a party in my mouth! The fish was super fresh and seasoned just right, and all the different sauces they used complimented each other just perfectly. The contrast between the fresh hot batter fried fish and the cold sauces and taco was addicting, hence, I ordered it twice. I also tried the El Guapo burger and it was perfection. The outside of the beef patty was slightly crispy with the rest of the patty juicy and very tender. The sauces, pickles and cheese melted but yet kept their own was...well...inhale worthy. Which is exactly what happened. I inhaled it. (please don't visualize that!) The fries were fresh and seasoned and their little green sauce...well...I put that shit on everything! Oh, I'm going back. Next time ordering tequila! ;)

    Sweet potato tacos were the best. So mouthful and flavoured corn soft tacos filled with roaster sweet potato and all tangy salsa . Trotters were special because of the extra touch or flavours and toppings in it. Melted cheese just added that extra softness to crunchy fried potato fritters. Ambiance is great and the whole space is huge. Outdoor patio is heated ( i mean seriously heated because u can feel the table top just like a warm blanket) Anyways the server who served us was great. She suggested the vegetarian options n selection of drinks they had. We went light though. Churros was not only delicious but in a bigger portion then any other place i have been too so thank u for that generous portion. Good place to spend a rainy evening .

    Atmosphere is nice and quaint which we enjoyed but they lacked in a better selection of cocktails and it just didn't seem to hit us. We had a few cocktails and a nacho to share and the nachos were decent but nothing to write home about. Service was good and the restaurant seemed pretty clean.

    Fun atmosphere, great service. Ordered the ceviche and a Jarritos Paloma. Both were tasty.

    It was a weekday and we ve decided to go for some drinks in yaletown. "El guapo" that catchy name and the fact it is relatively a new place were enough reasons to make us step in and dive in the adventure. Place was nicely decorated , staff were super friendly and kind. We got the guapo lager and it was fine nothing wow but quite satisfying. Also we ordred some tacos and breaded shrimp with lime. Im not a big tacos fun but they were good enough while the shimp appetizer was impressive. Breaded and seasoned to perfection with a pinch of lime flavour : Best part of the whole experience.

    My new favourite Mexican restaurant in Downtown Vancouver. The best service I've ever had at any…read moreMexican restaurant and the ambiance was cozy. They had a 4 for $21 taco deal which had a few taco options to choose from and the churros were delicious too.

    Bar seating & several table booths. More of a drinking establishment vibe in my opinion. Staff…read moredid the bar minimum. Sat us down, took our orders and brought us our food then quickly brought the bill so they could change tables over. The Margarita here was excellent. Definitely felt like a strong boozey drink. Well done! Tried their Chilaquiles - not sure what I was expecting but this was more nachos than anything else. Definitely not the best in the city either. Maiz De Cole - strangely the best option that I selected. The chilli, lamb, cilantro just went so well. Great light option if you need one. Definitely not better than a good Mexican street corn though. Birria Taco - wanted to like this but didn't leave much to be desired. Large portions of protein Ordered the extra Birria as my date also wanted this. Looking back, should have stuck with the single order. It was way too much birria protein which after a few bites became overly dry and lacked flavour. Carnitas Tacos - come in a order of 2. Better option for smaller appetites. Overall, felt a bit steep in price. Their website online doesn't even post prices yet.

    So good from start to finish. Everything we ordered hit, and I already know I'll be back to try the…read morerest of the menu. Service was great. Our server was attentive and around when we needed something but never interrupting, and his recommendations ended up being some of our favourite dishes. The anchovy olives were a standout, super crispy, packed with flavour, and not overly fishy at all (great if you're a bit hesitant about anchovies). The mushroom toast was rich, savoury, and full of umami. Just a heads up not to let it sit too long since it softens the bread. The tuna tartare was fresh and well-balanced. Not my personal favourite served on toast, but still really enjoyable overall. The paella was excellent, perfectly cooked shrimp, tclams, and crispy pork belly chicharrón that added the best salty, fatty crunch. The roasted cabbage completely surprised me and was easily one of the best veggie dishes I've had in a while. I could have eaten a whole plate of it. We wrapped things up with churros and shared a pitcher of sangria. For three people, it came out to about $68 each before tip, which felt very fair for how much we ordered. Would definitely recommend.

    The service was friendly and prompt but we were a bit disappointed by the food…read more We ordered the meat and cheese plate and they did say one of the options was fattier, but it was essentially a strip of fat (as you can see in the photo). As well, the manchego was so tiny it was like a shaving . The bone marrow amounted to about three teaspoons of marrow. We were so sad and dissatisfied. The patatas bravas was okay. Unfortunately we do not have a reason to return.
