    Pollo a la brasa con frijoles
    Danny B.

    Always hits the spot. This guapos is different than other guapos, it's more of a pollo a la brasa style restaurant with other plates like limo saltado or tacos. The food here is always good, the food is a little slow to come out, but always hits the spot, you can't go wrong with the pollo a la brasa, beans (which are bomb), rice and fried plantains.

    COMBO #3
    Monica S.

    So sad I didn't know about this place until now!! Interesting concept, you order at the counter and they will bring you the food to the table. The person taking our order w as very kind, patient, and willing to explain things to us. We ended up getting the combo #3 , chicken tacos (3), and a margarita. Decent amount of food, it was very yummy and I left full and happy! They do have happy hour Monday- Friday from 3-6pm with drink and food specials! I would definitely come back!

    Yucca and fries

    Very enjoyable Peruvian type chicken. Fries and fried yucca pretty decent. Super friendly staff and clean casual place to eat. Despite casual nature could have a cheap going out experience since they have alcohol too. Glad we stopped by when we went shopping nearby. Wish the Guapos near us had the chicken.

    Ok, so went here on a Friday for a quick lunch date! When you walk in, you can use the touch screen to order or you can walk up to the counter and order, whatever you prefer. They offer drinks, frozen or on the rocks ! The menu is displayed on screens for easy reading! You can also see the chickens on the rotisserie being cooked to perfection. I usually go for the half chicken and rice! Today I opted to try their Birria Ramen w/Birria tacos. So you get 2 tacos with the Ramen, lime cucumber, and radish on the side! The service was great! They deliver your food to the table and check in on you throughout your meal to see if you need anything! So let's start with the Ramen, in my opinion it wasn't very flavorful, but the spice level was there! It did have egg, cilantro, and onions on top! The tacos were good. Loved dipping them in the ramen! The margarita was A1! It was def solid! Would definitely order again. I would def visit again, although I would probably go back to my half OG order, 1/2 chicken with the Charro rice, at least I gave the ramen a shot! Gimme 1 margarita....you know the rest

    Inside
    Awesome N.

    I've been driving by this place for years and never even knew what it was. I stopped in and I am glad I did! I got the Asada quesadilla and yucca. Both were extremely delicious. The quesadilla was so cheesy and the Asada was cooked just right. The quesadilla was a little crisp and soft at the same time, it was perfectly cooked. It came with guac and a tiny bit of sour cream. The yucca was delicious as well perfectly fried and the green and white sauces are delicious. I went back the next week and got more yucca. It's nice you can download their app and order from there. But the inside has a comfortable seating area as well as a nice patio. Everyone was very friendly and helpful.

    Mango Margarita

    I love this restaurant so I thought I would give this location a try. I walked in like hmmm this looks different. I continued to view the menu and thought this menu is different. The cashier Ceasar was so friendly and helpful. He let me sample items that I was thinking of getting. Which really helped. I ordered the Birria ramen that came with 2 tacos and a mango Margarita. It had a nice flavor just needed a little salt for me. The Margarita was so good! I had to ask the question and Ceasar was so helpful I wanted to know is this restaurant different then the Bethesda location. He happily explained that the other location is a full service restaurant and this locations items are limited. I would definitely come back even the servers were friendly and attentive!

    Guapo's Rotisserie Chicken and Tex Mex Grill is a fast-casual restaurant serving up Peruvian dishes. This was one of the better restaurants in the area that we ate at over the weekend, which after reading myu review below you will see that it was not that much better. We were excited to find a rotisserie chicken restaurant in an area with most take-out spots serving up Chinese food or burgers. We ordered take-out that included a half chicken with two sides and a drink. The chicken was flavorful but dry but the sauces covered up for that. The rice we got was also a bit dry - again the sauce helped. The best of the meal was the well-seasoned plantains. Not the best but not the worst option when looking for a dining spot in the area - might have been an off night with the dry chicken so I would give it another chance if I was in the area again.

    Blackberry Margarita!

    On Mother's Day my 2 beautiful sisters were here and the people were so kind and professional! I highly enjoyed my meal # 4 from the dinner menu! I had a blackberry margarita absolutely delicious! Best service and food nice and piping hot!

    1/2 chicken , rice and black beans
    Makaylah S.

    Guapos is a dmv staple, and a childhood favorite! We haven't been able to live near one in a while but when we come back to visit its always on our list. He got a 1/2 chicken, rice and beans, and i got a queso pupusa (not pictured) beans and yuca. They have remodeled since i was last here, and theres more seating but no more booths! Great every time we come fr

    Why are y'all rationing yuca? There's no shortage that I'm aware of.
    Brooklyn B.

    Just stopped by real quick for some grub, quarter chicken and yuca fries etc. Guapo's y'all can't be serious exactly five fries. That's exactly why y'all are no competition for Spin Pollo; lmao. To the employees at Guapos's please know, no matter what you do in life do your best at it. Thank you for reminding me of why I stopped going to Guapo's.

    STEAK & CHEESE ONLY
    Teri K.

    Pains me to share my last experience but here we go! Steak & Cheese 2/10 and I gave it a 2 because it was seasoned very well or I would've given it a 0/10. The attached pic says it all! VERY DISAPPOINTING! However that Mexican corn 10/10, 10/10, 10/10!!! I ate it so fast, couldn't get enough! So yummy! Everything else was typical, the chicken was fresh and good 8/10, chafa rice, underwhelming, 5/10. They offer a lot more options and I think they are doing too much, not able to have quality in everything consistently. Advice to someone that has been eating at your establishment for over 10 years, keep it simple and do it well!

    Fast casual restaurant with To-Go order area
    Margarita B.

    Friendly & fast service even during busy lunch time hours was a huge plus! The food was great & I loved the pinto side beans which were very flavorful. I also enjoyed the sauces that came with my meal. My steak burrito platter meal was fresh & delicious. Plenty of parking for this busy area, easy to read ordering menu, clean restaurant & bathrooms. Very friendly staff & great variety of menu items!

    Chicken BURRITO PLATTER, S/O PUPUSA, QUARTER ROTISSERIE CHICKEN (2 Sides)
    Matt R.

    Guapo's is some of the best Mexican food I've had. It tastes amazing and comes in large portions. The service is friendly and prompt. The atmosphere feels like a tavern with reclaimed wood floors. We can't wait to go back!

    They have the best tacos in the area but will probably forget things in your order most of the time.

    This is one of our favorite go to restaurants for Mexico. Staff is friendly and the food is always…read moredelicious and speedily served!

    As a native born Texican, I'm always a little wary of Tex Mex places around here...as Lyle Lovett…read morefamously stated, never eat Mexican food east of the Mississippi or north of Dallas. Words that I've lived by my entire life. But being a Tex-pat here in NoVA has had me exploring...and El Paso has been a restaurant that I keep coming back to. I've never been to this location before, but another app had mentioned that it was 3.4mi from my work, so I figured I'd try it out...I've been having a hankering for enchiladas this week and figured I'd scratch that itch. Since it's Friday, I decided to try the Enchiladas Rancheras, described as 2 cheese enchiladas topped with beef or chicken, served with lettuce, a tomato (not needed, I will omit this next time), sour cream and a side of rice and beans. Sounded perfect! I paired it with a bowl of queso and a water, because I'm still on the clock, otherwise it would have been a cold Modelo or swirl margarita. What was brought out to me was not lunch, but a time machine...taking me back to my college days and a meal that I've been chasing for over 20 years. The beef was stewed and tender, and paired with the cheese enchiladas it reminded me of hitting up Taco Cabana after the bars, ordering a carne guisada and a side of queso, mixing it all up together and diving in with chips. I wasn't planning on inhaling the whole plate (and queso too) but I did and even though I am in gastric pain, I do not regret my decision. Even though I'm sure I looked the fool, I closed my eyes while eating it and I was back there in College Station at 2:30am, listening to Cross Canadian Ragweed and having my whole life ahead of me. The food was THAT good...it actually took me back in time. The service was also excellent and attentive, and I wish I had the bravery to go back into the kitchen and shake everyone's hands. I will be coming back, I will be ordering it again (sans tomato) and I will be putting myself into a food coma once again. If you're looking for delicious Tex Mex food in the area, as a native Texan and a descendent of the Old Three Hundred, I highly recommend El Paso...they're a little bit of home right here in Northern Virginia.

    Bar J I was watching…read moreTikTok and saw Bar J featured as a great breakfast spot, so of course I jumped up and had to check it out! We arrived early and were only the second guests, so we had our choice of seating. I started with a cup of coffee, and he had a birch beer. The atmosphere was nice and relaxed. I ordered the egg bowl, which was very tasty, along with a side of French toast. He had the steak tips with eggs and really enjoyed his meal. My only small suggestion would be to serve the syrup warm. The French toast was good, but the syrup was a little chilly, and warm syrup would have made it even better. Service was good, the food was enjoyable, and I'm glad TikTok led us here. Would I recommend Bar J? Absolutely! We'll be back.

    The view from the patio was excellent…read more We came for lunch on Friday. I don't believe the waitress had any training, and there were four of us and the acting manager had to comp three of our meals. The drinks were great A person in my party ordered a hotdog with taco meat and cheese, it came with no cheese and by the time she was able to get cheese, the hotdog was cold. A person in my party ordered a beef taco. The taco arrived with a cold taco shell like it came out of a box. It wasn't heated or anything. I ordered a spinach and cheese enchilada with no cheese and extra vegetables. I got two corn tortillas wrapped around some onions and peppers. No spinach, The last person on our party ordered a cheese quesadilla. There was too much cheese, not suffi efficiently melted. We ordered a bean dip appetizer and it came with one spoon and the waitress asked if we wanted extra spoons, but did not offer any plates to put the bean dip on. It was kind of funny that she just asked us if we wanted extra spoons. The bean dip did not come with tortilla chips. I guess you were just supposed to eat it with a spoon.
