This is the BEST tex-mex food in the city. The swirl margaritas are amazing and the portions of food are huge. My husband and I always split the Rio Grande fajitas. There is always plenty left over to bring home.

Great Place!! Good food. Good decor (maybe a bit overdone). The Queso is great, used to have lunch there a lot with the Kennedy Center Crowd. We'd drink pitchers of margharitas.

Prices are fair, you always get a big portion.

Absolutely the best Mexican food in town, tastes like more. The margaritas are so yummy, just go ahead and purchased by the pitcher. They are fabulous. Great service, every meal is more than you can eat and it is all really really good food.

Guapos is a place to go for some good food, not for the ambience. The theme of the restaurant is tex-mex, but the setting isn't the focus of the meal.
