Finally got a molcajete. It was good. Big enough to split between 2 people. It got a little salty toward the bottom with the sausage and beans but overall a neat dish to share. Mexican poke bowl! Praise the gods! I have discovered carnitas! Someone else that...Read More

Cancun was a great place. Guads is even better! Great menu, salsa is yum! Fajitas are just right! Beer is well-priced. And the atmosphere is vibrant and open.

We have eaten there several times while visiting Portsmouth and never been disappointed. The food is very flavorful and a good value for the money. Service was excellent and even brought a bowl of water for the dog. You can dine outside or inside.

This place has a chill vibe and amazing food. I enjoyed a delicious margarita and some ceviche outside on the patio and my girl had the fajita taco salad, which was amazing. Definitely better than most of the Mexican joints in the 757.

Wonderful experience every time. They take care of you, and they love your kids. The waiters would bring my young daughter oranges carved with faces or patterns just to make her smile. Perfect every time.

The food was really delicious. I don’t know the name of it but I had a steak with a big jalapeño fried pepper stuff with cheese. OMG it was so damn delicious. Thank you so much for the great food. Great drinks in atmosphere.

The homemade guacamole was the best I've ever had. And if they gave me a spoon the same time I got the salsa I would have just ordered more salsa and literally ate it like a soup. I'm not even kidding
