Yum! My nephew took us there for lunch and we found the food delicious, the staff very pleasant and a friendly atmosphere. We liked it so much, 3 weeks later I brought some friends and they loved it too! The variety of menu options was great. Will be a fun way to spend a warm evening on the patio. read more

Although I have walked through the Campbell farmers market many times, I failed to notice this place since there are others that have bigger crowds and are more conspicuous. So on a non-market day, this popped onto the radar and we decided to check it out. Husband and I got two orders of the soy chorizo tacos, guac, and rice and beans. The person taking the order was extremely helpful with allergen information, and checked that the chorizo was gluten free and also that rice and beans we got as sides were vegan. The tacos were filled with a very generous portion of protein sautéed with some peppers. Delicious and very filling - we could each eat only two. It was a bit one-note, and I wish it had come with some fresh onion or lettuce to give it some freshness. We did add a little guac to them. I didn't realize the tacos came with chips, so we had an abundance which we ended up taking home. The salsas we requested on the side (mild and spicy) were a great accompaniment. I'd definitely come back for some tacos and margaritas during happy hour! read more

The Go To when we want nachos & of course Micheladas & drink drink drink, this is definitely the place to go to, with family, friends & any time or day except mondays cause there closed. Everyone in Guapo's is super friendly, from the time you walk in, get seated & while hanging out, they are on it making sure your table stays clean when you have empty glasses, bottles & plates. Nachos, Chimichangas & if we want more food, we order the trio tacos w/whatever typea meat we're craving. This also means what ever you order here, you'll taste buds will be satisfied & you won't be disappointed. Parking sometimes is a bit tough, but they have a parking garage where you can park, but walk a little, you'll be alright & it's totally worth it. read more

Summer ceviche! Yes. It's a thing at El Guapo's. A tangy shrimp ceviche with mango and cucumber and of course, lots of lime! It was delicious. A fun dish to share and wash down with one of their tasty adult beverages! Downtown Campbell is kinda known for their giant margaritas (obviously some competition) and these guys don't disappoint. Tuesday nights have drink specials as well. Besides ceviche we had some tacos that were great. Served with a bunch of house made chips and salsa. This place has a nice open floorplan with lots of outdoor seating, I'll be back! read more

Did a Togo and we ordered salsa and none was given. The pollo asada burrito bowl was so dry and just has no flavor. The carne asada burrito was just full of rice. I don't recommend going here or even getting Togo. They charge 1.25 for just ordering on their own site. read more

I've avoided this place since moving to Campbell because it seemed so "guy with flames on his shirt", a little too "lower back tattoo", a bit too "Raiders flag", a tad too "burning sensation". It seemed a little anti-vax Guy Fieri on Tinder. ... but my co- workers had a happy hour here and the workers are awesome, the crowd is varied, and there's a huge patio in the back, there's no holes punched in the dry wall by Kyle, and best of all, the pre-made blended margs are just as potent as the Swirls across the street. My only complaint is they must only have 30 cups and plates because the servers seemed overly eager to clear the table. read more

El Guapo's - Not meat like there should be - Mexican Near Me - Campbell, California

We came to El Guapo's tonight to grab some food and drinks and it was just okay and nothing special. We ordered a carne asada quesadilla and the quesabirria tacos. The quesadilla lacked cheese and a lot of the carne asada was all fat. The quesabirria tacos were very greasy, it was dripping out of the tacos. For drinks, I got the pink taco margarita which unfortunately tasted very watered down on my first sip. The service up front where you place orders was good. The girl was friendly. However, the service at the bar could've been a lot better. We walked up to the bar to get a drink and the bartender walked over and just stood there staring at us until we were ready. Didn't say a word until we ordered our drinks which was kinda strange and she wasn't very friendly or welcoming. Ambiance is good if you're looking to watch a game and grab some drinks. They play loud music so it was kinda hard to have a full conversation without us having to repeat ourselves/yell over the music. read more

I love the food and drinks here but I was here last Saturday night and the service at the bar was as ridiculously bad. It wasn't super busy and it took 15-20 minutes for the bartender to even acknowledge my existence. She also literally served everyone (including people who came after me) before me. I 100% would have purchased more than one drink if they wanted to serve me (and I tip well) ... and given a higher rating but I can't give more stars to a place that I couldn't get a drink. read more

Vibes in here are super fun and the margaritas are great, the Pink Taco marg was my fav and the tacos were solid. I also loved the tortilla chips the crunch is amazing i couldn't stop eating them. The bartenders were super sweet and welcoming, had the best service from Lauren at the bar. Would def recommend! read more

Good food, okay drinks, can get crowded and loud at times. Try the tots, surprisingly good!

This place is always a safe bet. Great for a quick bite and solid cocktails. While I would not exactly classify it as authentic Mexican food, it's great bar style Mexican food. My favorites include the quesadilla, flautas, and chimichanga. These are all items that are on the simpler side but are really amped up with some of their salsas. They have 4 salsa options, 2 reds(one of them being a mild pico), 1 green(somewhat spicy), and 1 orange(spicy). The best meat option is the shredded chicken, which is cooked in a tomato base sauce. The carne asada is a hit or miss, I've gotten too many fatty pieces to order it with full confidence. Ambience in there is similar to a bar with walk up ordering and walk up bar(2 separate stations). They also have a patio in the back, with no/few heaters so it gets cold at night. Service is good, with friendly staff that are constantly cleaning and wiping down tables which is assuring. One downside is the restrooms. There are only 2 individual gender neutral restrooms that always have a line. read more

We were looking for cheap food in Campbell after getting happy hour nearby, and we found El Guapo which was one of the only nearby $ restaurants on Google Maps. El Guapo's was crowded on a Friday night, there were many big groups of people drinking, eating, and chilling. The drinks here looked huge, but since we just came from happy hour, we ordered a veggie quesadilla for ~$10. For the price, we were surprised at how big the quesadilla was as well as the side of guac, complementary chips, and open salsa bar. Speaking of the salsa bar, seemed like lots of people were getting the orange sauce which was creamy and kinda similar to the orange sauce at La Vic's. Nonetheless it always make me happy when there are lots of salsa options to choose from. read more

El Guapo's - Veggie quesadilla - Mexican Near Me - Campbell, California

This isn't a fancy place but they have good eats. They have all kinds of memorabilia and artwork all over the walls and ceiling. My colleagues and I come here often for lunch and drinks, and we celebrated Cinco de Mayo here. The food is always good, and you can customize your meal. For example, I usually order the Todos Santos Tostada Salad without the flour tortilla bowl; and instead of guacamole (which is a little tart for me), I substitute it with fresh avacado. This time, I ordered the Street Tacos that come with three 4" tortillas and you can have any combination of the meats. I got one with tabique (beef, chicken, chorizo, bacon, pastor, bell peppers, and onions), second one with grilled shrimp, and the third with chicken. The meal also comes with tortilla chips. You now need to request which hot sauce(s) you'd like, since they no longer have a self-serve salsa bar, due to people taking more that they need. If you will be getting an alcoholic drink with your meal, you can order both from the bar. Myra, Caitlin, Francisco, Jordan, and Ricardo will take good care of you at the bar. read more

Casual atmosphere with a bar to grab a margarita to pair with a plate of your favorite tacos. Their nachos are delicious!

El Guapo's is located in downtown Campbell just a short walk from the parking garage which makes it very convenient to find parking. There is indoor and outdoor seating and the bar takes up half the restaurant. The vibe is very cool and can get crowded with a mix of college students, working crowd and families. The decor is colorful and festive with a day of the dead/local sport team theme. My kids rave about the burritos but their carne asada nachos are hands down the best in the area. They have the perfect ratio of toppings and strategically layer them between the chips so you always get a good bite. The chips are sturdy and tasty and don't get soggy. The carne asada is tender and flavorful. Honestly, they set the standard and you will find yourself comparing every other nacho to theirs! Go now and order the nachos! read more

Always have a great time here. Especially sitting outside in summer. The meat Plates are delicious and the drinks are epic. In my opinion, nicer Margaritas than Aqui, across the street. Aqui is like the Disney of mexican restaurants. You'll have more fun eating outside at El Guapo's. Can't wait for summer! read more

El Guapo is a cool spot in Downtown Campbell. Parking garage made it easy. The drinks are decent and the food is pretty good. Ordered a quesadilla with asada which was better than I thought. I had the chavela and michelada. I preferred the chavela over the michelada. read more

I've got to give it to my girls for recommending El Guapo's in Campbell. Funny thing is that we were initially planning on heading to another restaurant located not too far from here but due to the wait we made the decision to go elsewhere. In comes EG without a wait and reservations were not expected. Win-Win situation if you ask me! Patio seating was a bit on the chilly side so bring you a jacket or two!! The menu was viewed via no- touch QR codes which was quick, easy, and completely contactless. Be advised that you will need to personally go inside to place your orders and any alcoholic drinks will me made on a separate transaction at the bar. A restaurant beeper will be provided and you will pick up your order once everything is done. SELF SERVICE IS HUGE HERE. Brunch consisted of: Pink Taco Margarita x2 Chavela x2 Super Chavela Santiago Nachos w/ Chicken Mix & Match Street Tacos [4"] Tostada Salad w/ Carne Asada Shrimp Fajita Platter El Guapo's Tacos [6"] Drinks were good!! Chavelas came in super chilled goblets and the liquor aspect in the beverages were not skimped whatsoever!!! Our entire crew enjoyed all of our dishes, meats and shrimp were cooked well [nothing over cooked]. Flavors were spot on and the assortment of salsa only added a higher level of deliciousness. Only complaint was having to eat our nachos in the blustery cold- this made for our cheese to harden very quickly and we basically ended up with a solid brick of nachos. 5/5 stars. I can't wait to come back. Im not sure why it took me so long to enjoy EG but better late than never!!!! read more

I've been here before and it's a great spot for a quick bite. Last night was busy but we were able to share a long table with two others. Margarita was good. It was pre-made and in a dispenser. It was sweet and probably made with a mix but it hit the spot. I was happy to see they had soy chorizo tacos. They were great and came with a side of chips. You order food at the counter and pick it up when ready. You order alcohol at the bar separately. It was pretty loud between the music and the echo of voices. A little loud for my tastes but it has a bar feel so it's expected. They have a few tvs and had NBA playoff games on. There is outdoor seating too. read more

While El Guapos offers fantastic food and drinks, unfortunately, my experience was marred by incidences of racism from some staff member on multiple occasions. The staff had supported saying the "n" word and white customers over people of color. This is so disappointing and should addressed. Be cautious if you are a person of color. read more

The food good, drinks are great but my 1 concern is the bathrooms. They used to have designated restrooms for men and for woman. I went there this passed wknd and decided to hold out on going because the original woman's restroom was disgusting! This is just awful! Men get drunk and don't care where they pee. This should have been looked into before deciding to rid the woman's restroom. We sit, they dont. Update. Bathrooms are still the same but now they have smaller nachos. They are still good but wish I knew so I could order double my order from what I was used too.and the salsa bar is gone. read more

El Guapo's - Nachos 3/2023 - Mexican Near Me - Campbell, California

Came here on a saturday night while walking through downtown Campbell looking for a place to get dinner. Was drawn to the super loud music coming from the restaurant, giving it a fun and lively atmosphere (this place is also located next to a bar/lounge so it gets super noisy at night) . They have a lot of outdoor seating in the front AND back of the restaurant, but also open for indoor seating as well. Ordering was pretty straight forward--there was a decent sized menu and you wait in line to get to the cashier to order your food. Drinks are ordered separately at the bar. I ordered the el Guapo's burrito with carne asada. We also got the todos santos tostada salad, which came in a giant crispy tortilla bowl. Both of these were sooooo yummy and very filling. We also got a mango margarita which was literally HUGE, almost as big as my head. Not to mention it was very strong, so be careful! Our food and drinks were ready very quickly, which was great because we were so hungry!! I would definitely come back to this place, it's great for larger groups, good food, and has a fun environment. The only reason it lost 1 star was because it wasn't SUPER covid-friendly (relative to other restaurants I've been to). For example, all the sauces were just left out in the open for everyone to self-serve. If you're okay with this then it's probably no big deal, but I've seen other places package up the sauces in little containers for diners to grab and take with them (which is just my personal preference) read more

I think this place is a solid spot for groups, first dates, and meeting new people. Very casual, social vibe. The bar is a little small, but offers really great service and wide selection of drinks. Outdoor seating available, too. I wasn't wowed by the grilled chicken nachos I had, but they were tasty. I think the nachos should be served on a tray instead of a plate to make them easier to eat. read more

Decent place to meet up with friends but the food is inauthentic and Americanized- large and flavorless portions. The two stars is for the nice staff. Probably won't return. read more

Fun brunch place if you're around on the weekend. Sundays you're right next to the farmers market. This is american mexican food. I came here after a hike and it was nice. The lines for the bathroom can be long as they are single stalls. read more

Their shrimp tacos along with their Macho salsa are amazing. I haven't had better shrimp tacos anywhere else. The fact that their Macho salsa perfectly complements the shrimp is key. I've been to many places where the tacos are good but they don't have a good salsa and vice versa. It would be nice if they had a good pico or chip dipping salsa because their chips are amazing and they hand a lot of them out with every plate. read more

Came here on a night out in downtown Campbell and thought that the food was really good, I also like that they give you a healthy amount of chips along with a variety of sauces you could choose from. They have really good orange, green, and red sauce that you can try. I got the double meat al pastor burrito and thought it was really good. They have outdoor seating on the downtown strip as well as seats out back so plenty of space to eat. They also have margaritas that you can take to go in soup containers which I thought was really funny. Overall really good drunk food if you're in the area! read more

One of my a ALL time FAVs and go-to's! They have a front and back patio. The back patio is way cuter than the front patio except the back patio gets super hot in the summer bc of the asphalt. They have heaters for the winter and chilly nights. The staff is ALWAYS helpful esp security! The place is usually busy but service is quick and Everyone is nice, from what I've heard the Owner really takes care of their staff. The tacos are DELICIOUS! I usually get the order of the 3 street tacos and I get one "Tabiqué", one "Hawaiiano", and one grilled shrimp! Tabiqué is beef, chicken, chorizo, Al pastor, bell peppers, sautéed onions, melted cheese on top Hawaiiano is bacon, Al pastor, bell peppers, sautéed onions and jack cheese Grilled shrimp comes with blackened shrimp, mixed cabbage, pico de gallo, salsa blanco Drinks are always on point! I usually get the skinny double margarita! The skinny white girl that works the left side of the bar makes the drinks just riiiiiiight! But really all bartenders there are good. It's a fun atmosphere and decor is lucha libre type. Super cool! read more

2nd favorite Mexican place in Campbell I had the three shrimp convo taco plate today and it was pretty good! I had a mixed fruit drink of which they have a selection then went out back and sat in the patio area with my close friend. They have several combination plates that are tasty and reasonably priced considering how pricy everything is in Campbell! Thanks guys! ‍ read more

OMG I cant believe I did not review this place yet... shame on me. I've been munching on their delicious chimichangas, shoved endless tacos down my throat and walked funny soooo many times after their killer margaritas and sangrias. I cannot recommend you only one thing, their entire menu is dynamite, you can't go wrong with anything. I've also been greeted by friendly people! Was incredibly sad that they were closed the entire time while SIP was in effect but I was the first one in line for take-out once they opened up! Welcome back El Guapo's! I'm gonna go have 3 margaritas and a taco (Alestorm song... get it, get it...?) read more

Came here with a group of 9 around 8pm on a Sunday. The order and seat yourself system made things really easy for us as a big group! I ordered the cheese enchiladas (vegetarian) with both verde and roja sauce and it came with rice and beans. I really enjoyed it! The verde sauce is tangy and spicy and the roja sauce is rich and creamy! My other vegetarian friends who ordered the soyrizo tacos and chimichanga also really enjoyed their meal! They said the soyrizo had a lot of flavor which is pretty rare! One of my other friends noted that the carne asada was not that great but he enjoyed his Al pastor and chicken tacos. Overall a pretty solid Mexican spot in downtown Campbell! I've heard the margs are really good here as well so I will be back to give those a try next time :) read more

Any place that lets me order upfront gets five stars immediately at my books!! The killer margarita and the Baja fish tacos are my go to favorite dishes here. Sometimes I'll dabble and get a chimichanga, but I usually regret it because it's incredibly massive. Overall, I like the establishment as it's a half bar half restaurant type vibe and it's usually willing to put on any sports game that I request. read more

El Guapo's - Margaritas - Mexican Near Me - Campbell, California

El Guapo was great for our party of 10. Because of COVID and indoor mask requirements, we chose to eat outside in the front for Happy Hour and then outside in the spacious back for our dinner when more people arrived. In fact, we easily put 3-4 tables together so we could sit together. For drinks, the El Jefe Margarita (think top shelf) was somewhat harsh tasting and the Dos Equis was as expected. For HH tacos, we ordered Al Pastor, Carnitas, and Carne Asada which come 3 to a plate with tortilla chips. At $2.50 a taco, there was a good amount of meat, but the meat lacked flavor. Good thing there was a salsa bar with a good selection of salsas including sliced radishes and marinated onions and carrots because the tacos needed all the help they could get. Santiago Nachos with chicken was worth getting, but difficult to eat. With everything self-serve including getting your own drinks, water, and food, I was disappointed that a tip was still being asked for at the time of ordering. read more

This is a really nice spot in downtown Campbell with a fun vibe and some pretty solid food. We were able to try a few dishes, including nachos, ceviche, and tacos. For me, the highlight was the crispy edges on the meat, it seemed like there were bacon bits mixed in there too for that savory, salty addition. The ceviche could definitely have been better as it was a bit watery for my taste and I wished the chips were a bit crispier or warmer. But with all that considered, I would definitely come back again because of the atmosphere and location. Definitely a perfect spot to refuel during a night in downtown Campbell. read more

Its been a while since I came to this place, but in my last visit I like the food, the nachos where ok, nothing from another world but they where pretty descent, I will the tortilla would be a little more thick but it was not thin as you usally get on some places. We ordered two burritos and they were good + a ceviche that was really good, I tried ceviche in other places and so far this could be one of the good ones so I recommend it. Also they have a full bar and happy hour from 2-6pm, the beer-garita is good (little to sweet for me) but you can taste the tequila. The guy there told me they put like 4 bottles of cazadores so it taste good!. read more
