    Chicken Sampler
    Jeny T.

    Yum!! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The doors are dark, and I was a little unsure if I was using the right doors to get in.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]But once I was inside, I really enjoyed it![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I sat at the bar since I was there by myself. Attentive service from both bartenders. I'm doing a high protein, low carb diet so I went with the chicken sampler. Delicious! The taco chicken and the chicken and rice were my favorites. So juicy and flavorful! Fresh guacamole was also great!

    We did not eat in the restaurant but rather had our food at give at the adjacent give a hoot comedy club prior to the show. The service was very good, the food was delicious, and the comedy show was fantastic! We will definitely be back, thank you!

    Wonderful food, fabulous restaurant! La Mexicana is a great Mexican restaurant that also is home to the Give a Hoot Comedy Club! This club has great comics-some are new and some are seasoned. Such a fun evening. Wonderful authentic food and all for a very reasonable price! My favorite part is that half of the comedy club income is given to local charities. You simply can't beat that! For a fun evening, head to the Give a hoot Comedy club at La Mexicana!

    I heard the rave about HH at this restaurant. A friend and I dined in for HH. She ordered the Fish tacos, steak tacos, a pina colada drink and queso dip. I ordered street chicken tacos, regular chicken tacos, steak tacos, sangria-rita and especial margarita. The chicken tacos have very hard pieces of chicken in it. The steak tacos were tuff to chew. The fish tacos were tender and seasoned well. The drinks were tasty.

    For Tex-Mex and Mexican, this Guapo's location is a good choice in the area. It is conveniently…read morelocated at The Rio in Gaithersburg. The restaurant is set up to host indoor and outdoor dining. The covered patio is a fine dining option when the weather is nice. Inside has traditional round table seating and booths which accommodate up to 6-7 which is great for families and groups. You can find virtually all of your traditional protein and tortilla-based dishes here. The flour tortillas are homemade. If you're in the mood for happy hour, Guapo's meets the mark as they have an extensive drink menu including frozen options which is fitting for the restaurant theme. The customer service I received was very good. Overall, a good experience and will visit again in the area.

    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.

The food is amazing & you really can't go wrong ordering whatever you like. I've had the enchiladas the 1st time I went as they're pretty safe & they were really good. My friend got the salmon & believe it or not it was incredible! I had serious entree envy. 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. Our server was our friend but the end of the meal. Love this place! As of June 2024 the strip mall they are in is undergoing renovations- it looks dark but they are Open!

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. I tried them as soon as we got home, which was shortly after, and they were already really cold. Although I'm a cheese lover, these were just too much for me. The cheese was an overkill and took away from the actual steak. I instantly got nauseous and couldn't enjoy them.

My friend and I had a taste for tacos so we thought we should try this place. I am always in that area and always wanted to try them so why not. The food was great. I ordered the carne asada quesadillas and my friend ordered the carne asada burrito bowl. Both had great flavor. The meat was cooked to the right temperature and had great seasoning. I only wish the tortilla for the quesadilla was cooked a little more. I would have enjoyed a good crunch. The burrito bowl was delicious as well. Very filling but not too heavy. The service was good. The staff were very friendly and helpful. They made sure that we had everything we needed. The ambiance was cool. Its a small authentic taco shop but it was very clean and organized which I always appreciate. It was a great experience. Check them out if you are in the area. Cheers!

Some great birria tacos! Finally a place in Maryland I can go to! You get three tacos with pico de gallo on top and a side of rice. It was A LOT of food, I was full by two tacos. I also tried the guac and chips. They tasted really fresh and the guac was the chunky kind. It comes in a little cup but it was really hard to eat in there so I had to pour it on to something. It seems they are new and still figuring things out like the table beepers didn't work and they originally forgot to give me consume, but these are little things. I'll definitely be back when I get another birria taco craving. They seem to do a lot of takeout instead of dine in which makes sense in that area. I can definitely say they live up to their name even it comes to the birria
