The server was very patient & friendly. The food was okay.Vegetarian options: They "may" use lard? Menu is unclear about vegetarian choices.

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.

Fast, friendly service in a nice restaurant. We had a large party of about 12 people but still got our orders pretty quickly with no mistakes! Everyone enjoyed their food. I absolutely enjoyed the seafood burrito and fresh guacamole salad, very good!

I normally dine in all the time because I love their food and the great customer service as well. But this time I did a takeout and they did amazing job I ordered Birria tacos ! I recommend them 10 out of 10. So yummy! So tasty and delicious. And not only that, they added chips and salsa with your order to go. ?

A couple of my friends and I decided to grab dinner and drinks together after work, googled "Mexican Food," and chose Guads based on stars for reviews. Quick review: Disappointed. We were able to easily find street parking nearby (mid-week, about 7pm). The ambiance was more for a bar than a restaurant, but it appeared clean. They have outside tables, but it was too cold to comfortably eat outside. In fact, the restaurant was a bit chilly indoors as well, though we were sitting by the front windows. The service was just OK. The server seemed rushed and annoyed, though they weren't particularly busy. We ordered chips with queso and salsa, between 3 hungry ladies we couldn't/ wouldn't finish the queso because it had texture and flavor issues. We did go through 2 baskets of chips with the salsa, though. I had a traditional mojito, and it was bland and seemed watered down, though it did have real mint. My friend noted that her margarita was also "not great." I ordered a shrimp dish (I forget the name), but shrimp with garlic and a guacamole salad. When the waiter set the plate down, my nose was instantly offended; the shrimp smelled "off." There was a comical amount of that pre-minced refrigerator garlic that the shrimp were swimming in, which made the dish even less appealing. I ate one shrimp and decided that I was not willing to have another. When the waiter stopped back by the table, I let him know that I had found the dish distasteful, and he offered to get me something else. I ordered the enchiladas supremas (my typical go-to, no beef, two cheese because they do not offer mushroom). The enchiladas were just OK; the cheese was rubbery, the chicken was bland, and the beans were decent. Of the 3 of us, 2 of us did not finish our meals, nor did we take the leftovers home (one friend ordered chile rellanos, the other ordered a beef dish). Both of my friends are Hispanic, and neither would be willing to recommend this place either. Overall, we were not just unimpressed but disappointed.
