The guacamole was out of this world. we had burritos, chille rellenos and enchiladaos and it was all outstanding. I asked for green chili sauce additional on the side, and it was sooo good. I had margaritas and they were excellent. My family members had a specialtly beer and they were happy. The price was right. This is a huge... More

One of the best restaurants in Shirlington. Guapo's has fantastic food as very reasonable prices. The margaritas and bar selection is excellent as well. Highly suggest going to this restaurant! You will not be disappointed.

Great value, delicious food and two thumbs up service! The was my #1 favorite pick while we lived in Arlington. Every friend and visiting relative was taken here for dinner or lunch. They all wanted to return as well. The margaritas are strong and fabulous. The service is so quick you will be surprised. Your glass will never be empty... More

This is our favorite Mexican restaurant in the DC Metro area...and we've tried many. The service is exceptional and the quality of the food is excellent. During nice weather there is al fresco dining in the heart of Shirlington's restaurant row. There is a lively bar scene with happy hour offerings. The only drawback...no reservations. On weekends, there will probably... More

Beyond excellent food and service! The kind that you rarely find together. Nothing average about this place. Recommend to anyone looking for good Mexican cuisine.

Stopped in on a Sunday night for meal and margaritas. We lucked out as had tried the night before and they were very crowded with a long wait (no reservations taken). Service was attentive and speedy without being pushy. Margaritas were good. The bowl of guacamole was outstanding and plenty to share among three diners as an appetiser. Meals were... More

We went on a Friday night and had to wait about 30 minutes for a table - I think this is pretty typical for weekends. We waited on patio as they hadn't yet opened outdoor seating for the season. Bar inside was packed an took me about 15 minutes to get a couple of beers while we waited, but bartenders... More

If you do not agree, you clearly have not had their Carne Asada. Easily enough to feed two. Great chips and salsa. Good margaritas - a little pricey, but available in quantities that will make you forget or at least not care how much you paid. Be prepared to wait on Friday and Saturday evenings. Service is usually very good.

Great spot for happy hour! I consider myself a tequila snob and while I'm not usually a fan of happy hour drinks, I give this restaurant 5 stars for their margaritas! Always packed, service is normally excellent, quick, and friendly. Typical food for any Mexican restaurant but still along the traditional lines. I enjoy their fajitas, plantains, and fresh salsa!...
