I've been coming here for what 3? 5? 6 years now? I always get the same thing and it's always perfect. There's one thing can be said for amazing food, it's a completely different thing when talking about amazing consistency. I've never, ever had a steak quesadilla or sangria as amazing as they make them here. It's simple, steak, cheese, and tortilla. It's so simple, but the flavors and taste are simply unmatched. Perfection. Service is just AMAZING. I think the phrase comfort food gets thrown around quite a bit, but I make a point to come 2-4 times a month because as I described to my partner, the food just evokes emotion. Reassurance, acceptance, warmth, winning, and just contentment, when I get a steak quesadilla from Guapos on Wisconsin Ave, I just know whatever is going on in my life, it's going to be okay.The sangria is unmatched. I tried various sangrias around D.C. and this is definitely my number 1. Their Tres Leches cake is also a treat when I'm in the mood for dessert.

Food was amazing! My son is a food critic and he was so impressed with how good your food taste. We ate at the restaurant in Arlington, Va.

My Husband, me & my Dad went to Dinner here Last Friday to just unwind from a long weekday. (Though we went to the Bethesda MD, location instead) We were excited to just sit and relax with some good food & great drinks. Besides running into a slight issue meeting with my Dad, (which was my own fault, and loosing our 6:30pm reservation that was due to a misunderstanding. The manager was kind enough to still give us a table again as soon as we all finally found each other.) We started of course with drinks "Sangria" for me, "Strawberry Frozen Daiquiri" for my Husband & "Margarita" for Dad. All were reasonably portioned and tasted so satisfying & amazing in their own way. Followed by "Chips & Salsa" & even some of their really addictive "hot Salsa" (which was actually quite odd looking at first but I couldn't stop eating it once I started lol ) and let's not forget about some "Calamari" too! Loved the "Fried jalapeños" they did with it. Never seen it done that way before. Once relaxed & talked ourselves into hunger we ordered, "enchiladas" for my father , "steak fajita" for me & my husband had the "burrito." Everything turned out really nice. Of course on a Friday night, do expect noise and it does get slightly loud but honestly for the drinks and the food, it's so worth it and all 3 of us had a Amazing Friday night Dinner out! ! FYI to help a bit : 1.) I would recommend getting a reservation for this place (w/o one, on a Friday or Saturday night, it will get packed fast and don't be surprised if you have to wait some in order to be seated) 2.) understand it will get crowded & it will get noisy (if you have troubles hearing or do not like loud noise, try perhaps carrying out from here instead, that way ur avoiding the noise & still getting a great meal.)

Pretty good ambiance! Carlos was attentive, very respectful and overall, a great accommodative experience, including him contributing. Great varieties of what they have to offer! I recommend the Ribeye Steak Chimichurri and make sure you ask for Carlos! Thank you!

Came here after getting off a flight an hour before they closed on a Tuesday. Fajitas were excellent, lots of onion and green peppers; steak was cooked medium just how I asked for. Guacamole was fresh (a little less salt would have made them a 10/10). Salsa was fresh and tasty! One of the best if not THE best salsa I've had. Chips were thin and not over salted. The place was very clean and service was excellent. Will definitely come back.

Birria. Birria! BIRRIA! It's delicious here. The 2 varieties of salsa is amazing, and selection of tequilas is vast. The staff is super friendly and the atmosphere is family friendly with a spin on playing the top 40 latin hits and reaggaeton ?.

The food was great, a good size portion and the margaritas were very strong. The service was great, and the little kid behind me loved his birthday song! On a bonus note the tip recommended didn't tip on the tax! Great job!

Absolutely delicious and authentic. Very reasonably priced for two and a half people. I ordered chicken fajitas, 3 veggie tacos and 8 oz salman. Under $65. Very friendly / family oriented staff. On the point on orders. I definitely will be coming back for a nice authentic meals.
Delicious food and great service, good prices and portion sizes for DC. I like the enchiladas and margaritas. Also good salsa.

I've frequented Guapo's many times, and it has never disappointed. As a Mexican food enthusiast, I find their cuisine to be spot-on. The flavors are exquisite and the portions are generous. My personal favorite is the steak fajita, which always hits the spot. On my brother's birthday last year, they even surprised us with a complimentary slice of cake and heartfelt birthday wishes. While the wait for food can be a tad long at times, it's always worthwhile. I highly recommend this establishment.
