I was so chilly that I ended up ordering a hot chocolate yes at Guapo's when I really should have been drinking margaritas lol. The birria tacos were incredible and that hot chocolate was one of the best I have ever had. The customer service was excellent too, fast, attentive and friendly. Even with the cold spot, the food and service made it a great visit.

TLDR: Guapo's has good food and fun atmosphere but the experience quickly becomes soured by a…read morerushed experience and limited space. My advice. Do not order appetizer/dinner at same time. Push back on rushed service. Expect to be approached quickly and pushed until you order and left alone after your food arrives until you feel compelled to ask for a check and leave. Do not sit outside if you have babies/kids if you want your table to be large enough to fit your meal/drinks. -- Starting with the food, it's pretty good overall. Beans/rice come standard on a lot of options. They have a lot of creative appetizers. The guapomole and guacaviche are both worth trying. Might be a tad pricey for the portions and quality but nothing unreasonable. Burritos are a little on the small side for my expectations. During days when Rio is busy and dinner hours this place is so exceptionally busy so expect it to be loud. Everyone and their cousin has their birthday here and the wait staff are seemingly constantly singing and banging on instruments some days. The wait staff are exceptional for this type of restaurant- the reason why is likely due to so many experienced wait staff working here. And here's where we arrive at my issues with Guapo's and where it goes from a borderline 5* to a rapidly dropping 3*: Guapo's prioritizes turning tables over customer experience. And it RUINS the experience. The staff rush you to order, if you order dinner/appetizer there's a very good chance you'll be two bites into an app when your dinner arrives. Their tables are too small and too tightly packed- especially in the outside area. You can't really fit two meals, drinks, and an app on these tables for 4. Guapo's is a high volume money printer and it's become so bad I prefer looking at other options lately.

Honestly, Taco Bar has been the best taqueria I've had in the east coast. I used to order it almost…read moreweekly, in college. Their ingredients are fresh, quantities are great, and service is pretty good--given that it's not the most upscale setting. I would've given it 5 stars but they accidentally dropped meat on some of my vegetarian bowls prior (however they've always reimbursed us for mistakes, which is great customer service). The ladies working in the back work very hard and their labor of love does shine in the food. This place actually rivals SoCal mexican food. If you're in the area, skip Chipotle and come here to try their burritos, tortas, nachos, bowls and horchata, and tres leches. Also if you're brave check out their spicy red sauce! It's literally one of the best hidden food gems of Moco.

Had to ask 3 times. No water. Had to ask twice. And honestly would've ordered dessert but the server never came around again. They still get 20% auto gratuity which is crazy.

I didn't realize that was allowed where food was served. No one came over for the first 10 min. After we finally flagged someone down in the mostly empty bar we ordered two drinks. After repeating myself 3 times my frozen strawberry marg came out on the rocks. She brought over a new one. That's fine. No one ever came over to take a food order. That took 10 min to get anyone's attention. Our drinks were empty by the time food came out. We tried waving with both hands in the air to get anyone's attention.... Nothing. No one ever came back over the whole rest of our time there. We waited 20 min after we finished eating and still ignored. We almost walked out of the bill because we couldn't get anyone to take our card. We then found out that a 20% gratuity is added on to the check. We asked if we were suppose to be going up to the bar to order. She said no... I'm not too sure why it was impossible to get any service. The only time someone came over to our table was a total of 3 times after extensive measures of trying to be seen. I've never had worse service in my life at a place. We were there for 2 hours and each got a drink and entree.

Other friend ordered the shredded chicken burrito & he said it was one of the best he's had- juicy chicken, just enough veg. The service is fantastic here. Very friendly and welcoming.

There were about two tables occupied so I didn't understand why the tacos took as long as they did. The employees were really nice and apologetic for the wait.
