    Enchiladas with mole. Absolutely delicious.
    Trisha C.

    Came here with my Spanish teacher to experience authentic Mexican food. The food was based on dishes in the 1700s and the flavor is amazing! Walking in, there is a display of their desserts on display: flan, arroz con leche, and jello with yogurt. I ordered enchiladas with mole, and the mole was not something I had expected. I learned the mole is made from at least seven ingredients, one of which is chocolate. And, yes, I am not a fan of chocolate, but the dish grew on me quickly after having several bites, and I finished a majority of it before I got too full. It is situated in a Salvadorian neighborhood, and the food is authentic, true to its roots. The meals are very cheap, and don't let the presentation fool you: the flavor and smell are amazing.

    My dad and partner told me about this hole in the wall restaurant that i had to try! Beyond my expectations it's about 35 minutes away from where i live and worth that drive. The sweet cooks that perfected this shape of a sope and the salsas. You'd think it would be such a basic dish but no it comes with love FLAVOR and just the right portion. If you get the combo which is what i went with you get rice, beans, two sopes (i ordered carne asada and tinga like a spicy chicken with onion) and a can of soda. You truly can't beat that. It's a hit every time and want the entire world to know about their amazing green and red salsa. Coats your lips well and you definitely need that soda to cool down in a good way.

    Two pastor, One asada.  Kind of bland but okay.

    Large menu with pictures which is nice at an ethnic restaurant. Service was quick. Tried the tacos on the first visit. They were fine. Not worth coming back for (kind of bland and not loaded with meat) but edible. The tacos are better at the MVA Food Trucks. ;) I'd come back to try some other things. They have Huevos Rancheros all day, which Id like to try. The Horchata was good. So, don't be afraid to eat here if you're in the area. You may find an ethnic gem I didn't experience! ...but I don't think it's worth going out of your way.

    Mango drink... i think? It's been a while

    Some of the food I got here was good. I liked my beef tongue and pork tacos the most. The chicken tostada was worth getting too. I would never recommend the pambazos; don't be fooled by the description. There is almost NO meat in it... My friend got hte quesadillas. She wasn't impressed at all. I tried and wouldn't recommend it either. Stick with the tacos and tostadas in my opinion!

    Review for tacos only. Tortilla was dry not toasted. Meat was dry and barely any onion and cilantro. Sad disappointing tacos. Mva truck are better

    I came here with my bestie and her family and I must say the food was definitely amazing! It is truly a gem. Everything that we had was great down to the horchata it was a bit more of a cinnamon taste but still good. We definitely decided that we would come back. A meal for 7 was around 70 bucks.

You order at a counter and are given a number to display at your table. Our food took only a few minutes to arrive. The server also brought over a box holding three salsas in squeeze bottles. The green salsa was pretty mild and the orange one was super hot. The dark one was, I think, chipotle. I didn't care for the chipotle. The tacos looked great and were each pretty packed with ingredients. Pollo tacos - I thought the chicken was a bit dry and, because of that, disappointing. Veggie - The veggie were filled with cooked onion, mushroom and peppers. Although they were well prepared and held a lot of veggies, there was no seasoning, so the taste was pretty flat/boring. I had to rely on adding guac and some salsa for flavor. I was hoping the veggie would have some flavor without having to rely on sauces. Al Pastor - was very good. Guacamole - comes "market price". The side we got was $3, which I think was a good value. The guac was flavorful and was a nice portion. I am glad I had it to supplement the disappointing Veggie taco and the dryness of the Pollo. The corn tortillas were good. The place is nice and comfortable.

    TLDR: Guapo's has good food and fun atmosphere but the experience quickly becomes soured by a…read morerushed experience and limited space. My advice. Do not order appetizer/dinner at same time. Push back on rushed service. Expect to be approached quickly and pushed until you order and left alone after your food arrives until you feel compelled to ask for a check and leave. Do not sit outside if you have babies/kids if you want your table to be large enough to fit your meal/drinks. -- Starting with the food, it's pretty good overall. Beans/rice come standard on a lot of options. They have a lot of creative appetizers. The guapomole and guacaviche are both worth trying. Might be a tad pricey for the portions and quality but nothing unreasonable. Burritos are a little on the small side for my expectations. During days when Rio is busy and dinner hours this place is so exceptionally busy so expect it to be loud. Everyone and their cousin has their birthday here and the wait staff are seemingly constantly singing and banging on instruments some days. The wait staff are exceptional for this type of restaurant- the reason why is likely due to so many experienced wait staff working here. And here's where we arrive at my issues with Guapo's and where it goes from a borderline 5* to a rapidly dropping 3*: Guapo's prioritizes turning tables over customer experience. And it RUINS the experience. The staff rush you to order, if you order dinner/appetizer there's a very good chance you'll be two bites into an app when your dinner arrives. Their tables are too small and too tightly packed- especially in the outside area. You can't really fit two meals, drinks, and an app on these tables for 4. Guapo's is a high volume money printer and it's become so bad I prefer looking at other options lately.

No one ever came back over the whole rest of our time there. We waited 20 min after we finished eating and still ignored. We almost walked out of the bill because we couldn't get anyone to take our card. We then found out that a 20% gratuity is added on to the check. We asked if we were suppose to be going up to the bar to order. She said no... I'm not too sure why it was impossible to get any service. The only time someone came over to our table was a total of 3 times after extensive measures of trying to be seen. I've never had worse service in my life at a place. We were there for 2 hours and each got a drink and entree.
