“Recommended for a quick meal, the chorizo ​​taco was twice as delicious as the steak.
Adding or subtracting the sauce makes the taste even more different. You can eat it in two layers, but it was better to cut off a little and eat each piece separately.“

“I placed a call in order for pick up. Two chicken enchiladas.. came with rice beans, pico, guac and sour cream. Also got queso and chips and an horchata. The horchata was very good!! All the food was great except I wasn't a fan of the rice.. didn't taste like normal Mexican restaurant rice.. it tasted like the Knorr Spanish rice, which if you've ever had that before, it tastes very plain. The food was hot and ready and the girl who helped was friendly. I was searching all Mexican restaurants in the area and this one had the best prices as well.“

“Consistently the best food in Rio! Service is always good, and the food is excellent! The pickings for good food in Rio have become slim over the years with constant restaurant closings but Guapos has survived for a reason.
The queso is to die for, my favorite in the area for dine in Queso Blanco. Also every wait staff I've had tend to my tables has been attentive and kind.
There will probably be a wait for a table but it's worth it if you're in Rio already for a movie or something, as there's really no better place to eat in Rio.“

“The best hole-in-the-wall Mexican place in Gaithersburg. However the staff plays loud music on all the TVs, loud enough they can hear it from the kitchen... but as a customer you have to sit by those TVs and the noise is unpleasant. Meals here are fantastic, they just can't last too long on account of the noise.“

Cancun Mexican Cuisine Mexican • $$

“Excellent place, the meat and chicken have good seasoning. I recently met him and visited. But I think that the waitress should drink less alcohol while working since she neglects the tables to drink with the people at the bar, or they hire more waitresses because the bartender herself served and as a suggestion the music is extremely loud.“
