    The food is always delicious and I appreciate this is one of the few that have queso blanco! I ordered a steak chimichanga with rare steak and it was so good, cooked to order. The service is great and outdoor patio seating is nice in the summer.

    First time at Guapo's and it's your average tex mex type vibe. Pretty big menu with large range, but I settled for the shrimp fajitas. I had a good amount to take home, but the shrimp wasn't that seasoned, but I did appreciate that I was wild caught. The service was pretty attentive and they continued to bring out complimentary yummy chips and salsa for the table as it empties. Our food came out in a timely manner. Make sure to make a reservation if coming for dinner because the restaurant fills up in the evening hours. We ordered the spicy guapomole which was the perfect size and pretty fresh.

    Food is good. Not mind blowing but good. Really I'm knocking stars off for the SLOW service. Like geez, they weren't even that busy.

    Came by for a quick drink but also grabbed chicken nachos. Service was attentive. The nachos were fine, nothing amazing but nothing great either. We had to ask for hot sauce and once that came the nachos came alive. Drinks were good! I'd come by in the future for just drinks.

    Food is always great and their drinks aren't too bad. Prices are reasonable. Service can be great or so so depending on how busy they are. We never really wait whenever we come.

    We stopped here for brunch after walking to see the cherry blossoms. The food and the atmosphere was great. My husband had the classic breakfast and I went with steak and eggs. Hands down that was probably the best steak and eggs I've had and they serve it in a sizzling hot pan to keep it warm. It also came with a habanero sauce that didn't disappoint. Our only issue was with our server Bryan. It was very hard to track him down as he rarely came to our table outside of taking our order. My husband asked him if they had jelly for his toast which he didn't know but said he would check. He never came back! Other than that, it's still a good place to try and we'll be back.

    Perfect Saturday meet up with Friends. Just outside is also the ice skating rink to enjoy during the winter. Elkin was our waiter that expressed his approval of our meal choices which made us look even more forward to its arrival. Our table was split of seafood chimichanga, shredded beef chimichanga, asada tacos, fish tacos and Camarillo tacos. All very good. The camarillo was a bit sweet though. The frozen strawberry marg was delicious. The spicy jalapeño was good but not spicy enough even when asking for it to come spicier for round 2. The passionfruit marg was pulpy but good. The chips came with a pico type salsa and a smoky salsa which both were really good. The chips was thin and airy which were so good. The restraunt was clean and had cute decor all around. Highly reccomend.

    I love Guapo's! It's not that the food is SPECTACULAR but it's pretty good and consistent across locations - for me, anyway. I always get the enchiladas or the three-item combo. Their enchiladas verdes are good but the sauce defffff isn't as tomatillo-ey as I like. Needs more of a flavor pop. I love the two salsa options they serve for free. One is served warm and is more roasted. The other is cold and like a runny pico de gallo. Tried the cajeta this time. SO MF GOOD. Enjoy.

    Our party of 5 had a fantastic experience at Guapo's of Georgetown in December. Service was fast and attentive. The food was fresh and generously portioned. The location was excellent, just next to the ice rink with a festive vibe and ample seating indoors as well as a large outdoor space for warmer months. We enjoyed a variety of dishes, including the Guacamole with Chips, Ceviche Fish Tacos, Chicken Fajitas, Chidken Enchiladas, and Steak Fajitas. The atmosphere is outstandingly festive which made for a great meal with good Tex-Mex food and fantastic margaritas of course.

    I ordered tacos to go this is all I got. No sour cream no sauce. Nothing I asked for. So disappointed

    Horrible tacos to go. I ordered the yellow cheese and got white cheese. Also I ordered three tacos and I didn't get any sour cream, lettuce, or hot sauce.

    Pescado en Salsa Cancun

    I haven't eaten at a Guapo's franchise in year. When my best friend and I decided we wanted to eat lunch in Georgetown we couldn't decided where and then saw they had a Guapo's. I enjoyed the PESCADO EN SALSA CANCUN SAUCE with extra Cancun because why not. It was very flavorful. While the service was slower than we hoped we had a great lunch not from the water on their patio.

    Service was amazing and food was very good! Would definitely return! I went for a birthday and every person (including me) enjoyed what they ordered!

    Steak & Chicken Fajita
    Jordan N.

    The allure of this Guapo's is mostly because of the vibe - it's right next to the "iconic" Georgetown water fountain/ice skating rink. I say iconic for Georgetown, maybe not for DC - but still - it's nice and is situated nearby the waterfront mini-boardwalk. That said, food is good - tortilla chips were thin and crispy, the accompanying salsas were tasty (and thankfully one of them is not too spicy and tastes fresh). Fajitas were tasty even if they're not the best I've had - I would still have them again. The steak fajitas were notably better than the chicken fajitas. Service was attentive. All-in-all, with the vibe, it made for a good dining experience.

When it comes to hanging out in DC, the parking situation will make you reconsider your plans hahahaha! For me anyway... One of my girlfriends suggested this place & made reservations but I don't think you really need them here. We arrived on time and was greeted by the hostess and opted to sit outside since the upstairs was closed. The lime and mango combination swirl was delicious...we ordered a pitcher and it was plenty for us 3 gals. The seafood quesadillas was seasoned very well. Full of flavor...I enjoyed these with a garden salad minus the feta cheese and corn. My salad was fresh and the house dressing was perfectly distributed throughout my salad. My girl friends enjoyed their meals as well. One ordered the same as me minus the salad and added rice and beans and the other ordered the salmon with the stuffed crab...can't remember what it was called on the menu but it also was served with broccoli and she added a side of Spanish rice and beans. The maduros were also delicious! Sitting outside was cool but the birds flying all around was kind of annoying lol next time we'll just sit inside lol. I don't think you can go wrong coming here...tasty well seasoned Tex Mex cuisine... Our server needed to be reminded of a few things...maybe it was just an off day for him...

When she first said the name, I actually thought it was a some short of shopping plaza and never would have associated it as a Mexican restaurant. I'm not sure it's history, but seems like a staple in the neighborhood as every time I drive by since that conversation with her, I notice how packed and busy it is. I recommended to my friends who were in town that we check it out and we were able to get seated outside relatively quickly for a Saturday evening. Our table started with their drinks. Half of us got the pina colada and the other half had the margarita swirl. I'd say the pina coloda was pretty good; not too strong and the ones who ordered the margarita seemed to enjoy it. We all had eaten before arriving, so we didn't order too much. They also served complimentary tortilla chips with salsa so that was pretty good and gave us something to nibble on. I ended up getting the shrimp tacos and their tortilla soup. The shrimp tacos were good, but the tortilla soup was the highlight for me. It was very flavorful, and full of vegetables like tomatoes, carrots, and corn. It also had shredded chicken and cheese in it, and was so delicious. I would definitely order it again. Our server was also very friendly and regularly checked in on us. The reason for one star off is just due to the cleanliness of the cups and plates on our table. I noticed food residue still on it, and although I personally didn't use the cup or plate, I didn't care to see it on the table.

Again I must preface by saying I didn't dine here or experience the place. I was invited to a dinner here that I couldn't attend, and as a birthday surprise I wanted to send that table a bottle of champagne. I intended to order a Dom Perignon (for which they charge ~$400 per bottle). But the staff was on amateur hour -- instead of taking my order, they altered the reservation, then alerted the birthday person who made the reservation (ruining any potential for a nice surprise gift), and said they would have to cancel the original reservation because the number of people changed. Birthday person had to call them and me to smooth it all over. Then, another person called me to get my email address to send me a PDF to fill out (which I had to then send them on WhatsApp) for my order - a comically silly added bureaucratic/administrative load. Just take the credit card over the phone on the first call/request, like 99% of businesses around the world. This place takes 3-4 steps just to order something... This person had absolutely zero idea that I made the request as a surprise, so it suggests there is pretty poor coordination and communication amongst staff. I'm sure people come here regularly and have great meals and great times. But at their prices, wine/champagne mark-ups, and promise of an 'elevated' experience -- staff need to get their act together.

I came for my birthday with friends. Our reservation was at 8:00. I arrived a few minutes early and was greeted and given water, but after the rest of my party arrived, no server returned to our table for another 20-30 minutes. It was then another significant wait before anyone came to take our drink orders. Throughout the dinner, it was also surprisingly difficult to get a server's attention, and I had to try to flag someone down several times just to have my water refilled. The explanations accompanying the courses were also often difficult to understand, which another person in my party commented on as well. Since the storytelling and explanation of each dish are such a major part of this type of tasting-menu experience, I wish the presentations had been delivered more clearly. I also paid an additional $50 for the Birthday Experience and would not recommend it. It included an edible candle and a birthday cocktail. I had already told the staff that I don't drink alcohol and had ordered a mocktail during dinner, but they still brought me an alcoholic birthday cocktail. After I reminded them, they replaced it with a mocktail, but unfortunately it tasted very medicinal and I didn't enjoy it. For a paid birthday add-on, I expected considerably more attention to that detail. The atmosphere was another disappointment. The dining room was very quiet and fairly empty during our meal, so it didn't have the special-occasion energy I was hoping for on my birthday. The positive is that the food itself was good, creative, and enjoyable, and there were definitely memorable parts of the experience. I'm glad I tried Elcielo once, but considering the price and the level of service I experienced, I wouldn't return.
