I'm from this area, but I live in Ecuador and travel to Mexico often. THIS is the plane for authentic and delicious Mexican food. The birria or ramen birria rocks! Give it a try! And thanks Kevin for the excellent service! 😁

The complimentary chips and salsa/dip that was full of flavor. Had the California Burrito and it's one of the better ones that I've had in Hampton Roads. The fried tilapia was okay and so was the Taco salad. …

Excellent food and service! As an Arizonian, I greatly approve! I had written off mexican food since moving here but that is no longer necessary. We will be back regularly. Atmosphere is modern/updated but traditional, like being back home. Love the personalized tables!

Quiet Tuesday afternoon lunch. Waiter was quick to seat me and get me my horchata and some chips and salsa. Highly recommend the al pastor torta. They give large portions so be prepared for that when ordering.

Amazing food! This is not your average Mexican grill location. If you haven't visited you're missing out drinks and food were perfect and the service was personal and impeccable.

My 1st time dining at Guapos. Both the spicy salsa and the bean dip have excellent flavor. The taco salad with beef was amazing and very different. No cold thick tasteless bowl, no greasy ground beef and very little “salad”. Melani …

Food was awesome. Ceviche was some of the best I've ever had. Portions great. Margarita was ok but plenty of booze. Service was great too. I'd go again.
