I think I've left a review for this establishment before, but things have changed! Updated menu from years past, Very surprised that a Mexican style restaurant has no nachos burritos or fajitas. Very simple menu, almost discouraging. Staff was passable for service needs but the "hostess" was absolutely uninterested in any form of public interaction. If you must have Mexican style food, this is the only choice near the beach. read more

This is a small seat yourself Mexican restaurant, ordered chicken tacos, the chicken looked and tasted like chicken in a can, you get 2 tacos and a few chips for $10.00. Daughter got Cheese Quesadilla, basic can't really screw it up. Chips & Salsa as an appetizer were ok. Menu is very small with just basic items, service was ok. Definitely better places in the beach to eat. read more

I can't possibly give a star for this place. Years ago they were good but Guac-N-Roll was like going to a vending machine and getting a stale bag of chips. Let me see No Ambiance Hostess wasn't even up front to greet No nachos, no fajitas no Mexican food Chips and salsa to make it easier for the kitchen ha ha ha ha no nachos at a Mexican restaurant I repeat no nachos! The tables weren't bused when we came in, place was empty I'm wonder why Lazy lazy lazy staff Besides one bartender doing everything Only giving a star because it makes me. My three kids could do better job. read more

Primetime Saturday in July....not open. Sign said come back at noon. Noon -not open. Hostess?Come back later-line when ? Well we don't have servers for you to sit down, ok...can I order take out then? Well you can but there is no servers to get it ...ok nevermind will head over to the burrito place -thx anyway. read more

I came back here today after not being here since 2021-2022. I was specifically looking forward to the nachos because they've always been delicious. However, the menu is now cut down to barely anything. They give you stale chips with small cups of "dip" like queso, salsa and guac. I'm confused why we can't get nachos? I know you all have cheese, meats and everything needed to make the nachos??? Additionally they took burritos and salads off the menu - all things that can be made from the ingredients that are in other dishes. So I just have to wonder why? Also the portions are tiny for the amount of money. $13 for two tacos and a handful of stale tortilla chips? Additionally, our waitress brought our bill while we were eating and returned within 5 minutes asking if we were ready to pay. No, Hannah, I am still eating? It wasn't even busy in any capacity to rush us like that. Needless to say my experience was a lot different than I had been and I will likely not return. read more

This place has gone downhill so far. I'm honestly heartbroken. My wife and I came here 4 years ago on a parents' getaway. We love Mexican and we were so stoked when we found this place. There was a big menu, great drinks, it sits facing the street/parking lot/ocean. We have gone back every year since as a tradition but this summer, 2024, will be our last. The place was completely empty on a Taco Tuesday in the summer. The servers were not professional looking at all. The drinks were awful. Our order was messed up and the cook and server were arguing about who messed up behind the bar. They didn't comp anything to make up for messing up our order. The only thing they did was take the messed up food and make us wait for the correct order. We will not be going back and we are pretty heartbroken about it. read more

Wow... This place was not good. Bagged chips that were stale and basically crumbs. Frozen guac. My food was cold. My wife's salad was awful and included items that weren't listed that she happened to be allergic to... Apparently anyone can open a restaurant nowadays... Obvious just tourist trap garbage that they don't expect you to remember next year... read more

Guac-n-Roll - Carnitas Bravas an Shorties Tacos from GUAC & Roll with chips and guacamole - Mexican Near Me - York Beach, Maine

Avoid!!! The only adults were the bartender & the kitchen staff. Everyone else was 16-17 years old. Zero services. I had to flag down the 16 host/waiter for every single thing we wanted. Actually had to order from another waitress because the host/waiter wasn't to be found. We never got silverware or napkins. Was charged for things we didn't get. Honestly, I can't really blame the kids. They had no adult supervision. Shame on the owner/management. Food wasn't bad, but very bland. read more

My boyfriend and I concluded our Maine road trip by stopping at the nostalgic York beach on our way home. Everywhere had a wait so we decided to try this restaurant. Mistake. The bar tender practically ignored us the entire time, it was nearly 10 minutes before we were even greeted by her- the place was not even busy. We went long periods of time without her even looking over to our end of the bar. A waitress had come take our order for us. We are both servers and are very patient/understanding with fellow industry workers- but this was insane. Drinks were OK, just ok. It was impossible to get any workers attention, waitresses were blatantly sitting on their phones, they were standing around talking, just not doing their job. Staff was young, which is fine but there was nobody in charge it seemed. Sitting with your food in front of you and not having silverware is pretty frustrating, especially watching the workers ignore you. When I came in there were dirty plates at the end of the bar.. they stayed there my entire visit.. two new parties had came and left & the dishes were not cleaned up... I wanted to do it myself. The food was bland. Little to no flavor, extremely long wait time (place wasn't even busy). I don't mind waiting for my food, as long as it's food worth waiting for. (The refried beans were terrifying, we both left this restaurant hungry). The thing that REALLY ruined this experience though- was disturbing. A woman (I presume the dishwasher?) was repeatedly bringing dishes/plates out of the kitchen. I look over at one point and she's holding the part of the fork our MOUTH goes on. I look again the next time she comes out and she's scratching her arm.... WITH FORKS.... THEN PUTS THEM WITH THE CLEAN SILVERWARE. I am not exaggerating and I wish I could pull up camera footage. Disgusting, we asked for the check immediately. This experience put a damper on the end of a great vacation. If the service was good, we probably wouldn't be so upset. There is much opportunity for worthy restaurants in that location, there's also opportunity to make some great cash as a server/bar tender- too bad these workers are not taking advantage of that. If you see a review higher than one star... there had to be a different staff working. read more

Guac-n-Roll - Burrito bowl... - Mexican Near Me - York Beach, Maine

Food is simply meh, but on top of all of it the service is inattentive and exceptionally slow. I'm amazed this establishment is still open but perhaps the lure of a tequila drink keeps people coming. I'd recommend passing and heading to literally any other restaurant on the strip. read more

This experience was like a roller coaster. But not one you'd enjoy being on, but one an experience that you have after eating the worst overpriced meal of your life. If I had to relate the experience to an amusement park trip (dining here was like one) I'd say it's the equivalent to having your 8 year old kid beg you for dip n dots with his 4 friends at six flags then go on tower of terror and immediately vomit while the ride is in motion. Not only was the hostess there to make a quick buck but she also was interacting with us the whole time like she was part of the party that we came into the restaurant with. I should have asked her to put her card down when the bill came. I would say the only good part of the restaurant was my girl Natalie M. Yes, the Natalie that left the 5 star review 11 days ago. She was not only funny but relatable when she admitted that she goes to chiplote over this place. Not only did they provide excellent customer service, but the owners made a debut. They were dressed in lobster costumes, screaming the market price of the day for the lobster tacos. This added to the overall ambiance as well as provided fantastic entertainment. If you take anything from this review, it is please save yourself the torture that is guac n roll. I am pretty sure my fraternity hazing was more pleasant than this (and I played don't fuck your brother). P.S. none of the employees were above a 5 on the smashable scale. P.S.S. Natalie's boyfriend better treat her right as he got a better catch than the daily lobster. P.S.S.S. After that dining experience my friend tried to commit in the ocean and Natalie ran after her with a pool float and saved her. Come to find out there was no Natalie M and she was actually a customer. And with that being said, Natalie for president. read more

You're better off going to Chipotle. Service was fine, but it was some of the worst food you will find here. Go anywhere else on York Beach BUT here. read more

We stopped by here post-dinner to grab some drinks to conclude the night, so this review won't be about the food! I had their strawberry lemonade cocktail which was okay! It tasted mostly of lemonade- its tartness was one of the more prevalent flavors. I couldn't really taste the strawberry at all! The boozy component of the drink makes itself known a few sips in, so it definitely sneaks up on ya. The Coke and Rum cocktail, however,​ was a miss. It tasted like extremely watered down coke... and it was also salty?! :- ( Echoing some of the other reviewers, the service here wasn't the best- the hostess didn't seem friendly. Our waitress was nice but seemed eager for us to leave! read more

If you're traveling from out of town, please don't go out of your way for this place. It is an overpriced Chipotle that's best part is it proximity to the beach. It cost over 80 bucks for our family of four which includes two kids under five to eat dinner. 13 dollars for chips with a "flight" of queso, guac and pico that maybe was two tablespoon. Each dinner included chips and all together our four meals had about 15-20 chips altogether. When I asked for more pico with my dinner, it wasn't an issue until I got charged four dollars for it. Sad that this was where we dediced to spend our vacation dinner but hopefully this review will help someone else. read more

I don't think I've ever had a worse meal in my life. Our server was a really sweet young guy and did everything he could to make our experience great, I wanted to steal him away from such a yuck place and set him up somewhere that he could succeed. Right away we should have known something was amiss when everything we ordered from the menu was no longer available. Our food was so gross. I could only stomach two bites. Please choose another spot to eat, I beg of you! The only reason this isn't one star is because our server was great. read more

Weve loved Guac-N-Roll for many years and always made it our first night dinner. Last night was atrocious. There are only 11 items on the menu (and most were repetitious) - no nachos or burritos. No street corn that we've always loved. It felt like my teenagers made dinner - quesadillas and tacos - tomatoes, sour cream, lettuce only. My "chips on the side" were SIX CHIPS... SIX!!! Our server was entirely uncomfortable in her role, meek and couldn't answer any questions, she seemed petrified to come near the table. We mustered through and kindly thanked our server at the end but will not be back unless an overhaul happens. So disappointing; such a missed opportunity in this little town during the bustling summer months. read more

We found this place during a rainstorm in York and thanks to their large overhang, we were still able to dine outside and look out at the beach. Easily made available vegetarian options into vegan ones - and their fresh salsa Is out of this world (though not very spicy, which may or may not be a bad thing for you). They do supplement with plenty of different hot sauces. Lots of options for kids and fast, friendly service. Highly recommend for vegans in York and families -- and dining during rainstorms! The hostess happily took a great photo of us when we asked ! read more

Worst service and experience I've ever had in my entire life at a restaurant. Completely rude staff and horrible service all around. Food is also completely fake Mexican food. Wouldn't recommend this place to an enemy. Bad in every single aspect. read more

Judging by the similar reviews, they have some big problems (that translate into lousy experiences!) at Guac n Roll!! Our party was greeted by a young waitress who appeared so uncomfortable, it was awkward. Downhill from there. Everyone around us who arrived after, got food before we did, waitress blamed it on the kitchen when we asked, yet we watched her scurry over to enter the order she had obviously forgot. Served our apps with our meals, even though we asked specifically for the apps to come first. Food was wrong, and tasted poor to fair. Service sluggish and miserable, table was sticky and I cleaned it myself, on and on ... We noticed they were empty when we arrived, yet everywhere else had long waits.... lesson learned. read more

The potential is there for this to be a great place to eat. The food is yummy BUT it is over shadowed by the customer dining experience. We arrived at 6:30 and were told it would be a 25 minute wait. There was a party of 2 and a party of 3 ahead of us, they were told there would be a 15 and 20 minute wait respectively. There was a party of 3 after us, but they got frustrated and eventually left. We were seated a little after 7:00 and waited another hour to get our food. Meanwhile, there were several tables outside that had been empty all along that were the tables we and the other party of 3 were seated at ... very frustrating. There was another family that was already seated who had been there for dinner before and apparently this is a common occurrence. Soon after we were seated, a grouo of 11 barges in without waiting and seated without a wait AND without being told that there is a delay in food and drink service!!! SuggestionsComments: If there is a delay that doubles the wait time indicated to a customer... acknowledge the extended wait time. After such a delay, then knowing there will be further delay in food service, perhaps offer complimentary chips and salsa/guacamole ... a drink. Something to compensate for the negative experience. When someone orders a Chimi Carne Taco and the core ingredient of the dish (chimichurri) is missing because you ran out ... perhaps the customer should be told that when ordering. If you are short staffed then reflect that in the wait time. Need a strong manager or a manager to support staff. read more

One sip of my hornitos, rocks , salt .......you would have thought I ordered it from a Chinese restaurant. Not good , barely finished half . Times are tough ! I get it ! However if a Mexican themed cantina can't pull off a descent margarita,well there's no use reviewing the food. Maybe the bartender didn't show up. read more

I cannot say enough how awesome of a restaurant this is. My husband and I ordered the pork belly tacos and the chimi steak tacos. PHENOMENAL! Additionally we order the kids quesadilla with pork, which came out looking delicious and the kids snarfed it down. Our piña colada sangria was excellent. This was made better by the fact our waiter was really awesome, the ambiance was just great and the views spectacular overlooking short sand beach. If you want great tacos and Mexican food, don't worry about going into Portsmouth, just come here - you won't be sorry read more

The food here is great! They only have one chef in the kitchen which I think is so impressive the kitchen worker can get that much done. The atmosphere is fantastic. Nice open front and many seating options with a bar inside! The music and decor suit the 'Mexican' theme perfectly. Today, Nick and Brynn were the servers. I HIGHLY recommend you have them serve you they're fantastic. Nick was the bartender and I can tell he knows his stuff. The drinks he make are beautiful and he is so kind to all his customers. You can tell he wants each and every customer to have a great experience. Brynn, besides the fact she is drop-dead-gorgeous, is so sweet to everyone she helps. She's incredibly on top of her tasks and keeps a beautiful smile on her face at the same time. All the servers are pretty bada** Overall the experience here is friendly, fun, and worth a visit. read more

If you want to be ignored by 16 year old waitstaff on their phones, look no further! Came here with my family for a quick app and round of drinks and was ignored for about 10 minutes before we had to make them aware, we were there. The lovesick hostess was more focused on Jimmy her bf who was passing by than people arriving waiting to be seated. She was also annoyed we dare to ask for menus because she threw one at us and said "this is all I have". Hire adults and you might get better ratings. read more

Do you want jarred processed salsa, cold tortillas, flavorless food and a tablespoon of pico with your $20 fajitas? No, I don't either . Our waitress was wonderful, Brynn, too bad for her with the restaurants flavorless food she won't get a lot of repeat customers even with an ocean view. Left me and my sister with a stomach ache. Who doesn't make homemade salsa ? Disappointing . The place was clean and the staff nice so that's why it got 2 stars. read more

Montezuma's Revenge!!! My son didn't make it out of the restaurant before his body rejected his overpriced meal and I didn't make it down the street before I was looking for a bathroom.

Both my girlfriend and I ended up with food poisoning after eating from this "restaurant" (I use the term loosely - haha get?) We ordered a salad and steak fajitas - ordered extra grilled veggies for the salad, which ended up costing five dollars for about a tablespoon of old zucchini... The steak in the steak fajitas was definitely sub par, and I have honestly never had worse guacamole... It must've either been sitting around for a very long time or had just been taken out of some package. And on top of all that, even the refried beans were bad - presented on a cookie sheet in a way that appeared a lot like cat barf.I cannot recommend ever eating here it was simply dreadful. read more

Tourist trap! Everything was pretty much terrible. Worst margarita I ever had. Salsa was awful. The bathroom was gross, no paper towels to dry your hands. Empty hot sauce bottle at the table. I will never go back there again. They don't seem like they take pride in the restaurant. read more

I normally dont post bad reviews, but this was a fabulous place... Not any more. I gave them several chances, wasnt just a single fluke. The new owner ruined the business. The staff is lazy. Food takes about 30 minutes to come out. Clearly staff has no remaining respect for business. They took all seafood off their menu... And theyre on the Ocean!! No more lobster tacos why! This is perfect example of someone buying a business thinking they can make tons of money with no effort. read more

Didn't know what to expect from a Mexican restaurant in Maine but we were very pleasantly surprised. They were able to accommodate our party of 12 after a short wait. The restaurant is fairly small with a casual vibe. Margaritas came out quickly and were refreshing. Most of our party opted for tacos as they were $2 off (Taco Tuesday!!) and everyone seemed to be happy with what they got. The star of the show was the Mexican street corn. I easily could have eaten five of them. The only oddity was that the utensils were plastic (not sure if that was COVID related). We will definitely return on our next trip to York Beach read more

We came here recently while on vacation for a weekend in York and what a mistake. As everyone has already mentioned, chips and salsa are not included which is beyond insane for a Mexican restaurant. The food is extremely over priced. My girlfriend and I both got quesadillas and left hungry with almost $40 less in my wallet. That's right, FOURTY DOLLARS. So as if this wasn't bad enough, my girlfriend was up all night sick to her stomach. I figured I was lucky as I was feeling decent. But sure enough, the next morning rolled around and we were both taking turns in the bathroom (without getting into too much detail). Long story short, avoid this place and go get some pizza or something. read more

Food was decent, but the service was so poor that it made the experience pretty unenjoyable. High school waitstaff seemed much interested in talking to friends who showed up on the outdoor patio, and then apologizing to paying customers for the excessive noise. Had to ask for napkins, utensils, and for the table to be wiped down. read more

Cute place right across from the beach with outdoor seating. The wait for simple machine was about 45-59 minutes and there were only about 3 other tables with people so not busy. Nachos were ok but how can you go wrong melting cheese on chips. Burrito and tacos were just not very good. Mostly rice with a strip of pork in the burrito. Not a lot of flavor. Overall a big disappointment. read more

Because we live in York and like to try new restaurants and support local businesses, and the fact that we LOVE Mexican style food, we wen to Guac and Roll and sat outside on a weeknight. Our server was very nice, but slow. Our table tipped back and forth, but I put a napkin under one of the legs to make it better. We ordered margaritas which took about 10 minutes to get and I ordered the fajitas and my fiance ordered two different types of tacos, one being a fish taco. We had wings for our app. I had read that the wings were amazing. Whoever said that must have ate different wings than we did, because ours were dried out and gross. You can get better wings at the Wing Bar at Hannaford Supermarket. When our food came it was immediately disappointing for me. My fajitas were black. I told my fiance, "I thought I ordered chicken, not steak". Turns out it WAS chicken, it was just burnt to a crisp, along with the veggies on the skillet. My fiance said his first taco was good, but the fish taco he spit out into his napkin because it tasted spoiled. They did take that taco off our check. Our second round of drinks took even longer than the first and we were done with dinner before they arrived (we ordered them when our meals came). We drank them anyway. From when our second round was finished to when we actually got the check on the table was about 20 mintues. It took another 10 minutes to get the credit card slip back. I was cold and getting annoyed, but I felt really bad for our server because she had every single outside table and her other tables were visably upset with the lack of service. I think the thing that sealed the deal on us never going back was that both owners were visible and doing NOTHING to help the server. The female owner was standing at the outdoor hostess podium chewing gum like a cow and laughing with the hostess and the male owner was walking around surveying things, but not actually helping out. Being a server in numerous restaurants in York in the past, I see this as a lousy way to run your business and don't want to fork over my money to them again. (I know they were the owners because the own another restaurant in town - which I also won't go to now - and their picture was in the paper when Guac n Roll was being renovated to open.) It was truly a awful experience from beginning to end. So for $100 for our app, 4 drinks total, meals and tip (we did not fault the server for the service), we've already spent too much money at Guac n Roll. Too bad - I guess Loco Coco's in Kittery and Margarita's in Portsmouth will continue to get our business. read more

In York this past weekend, and in attempts to be agreeable ( I had seen the reviews from yelp), when there was a wait at the place next door, we all thought we would give the Guac-n-roll a chance. Not going to be agreeable anymore. Probably should have walked out when our drinks took 20 + minutes (the table next to us did walk out). Or when it took 40 minutes to get chips and salsa, which wasn't even very good. They tried, but not enough. Food was sub-par (with exception of pulled port, which wasn't as pulled as it should be but at least had flavor.) I got the braised beef, which was seemed like it must have been out in the sun all day it was so dry. I would have asked for some sour cream that the waitress forgot, but the only time she came back, she spilled my friend's beer on the table, and I was slightly distracted. People, stand your ground. There is no reason to waste way too much vacation time, a half ass meal and money - Roll on by the Guac. read more
