8/23/25 section A el guapito was an excellent server. Recommended our drinks (mango shots) and meals, checked in frequently (but not in a needy way) the quality in the food was far beyond our expectations, I brought my friend who’s birthday it was and she was hesitant but now saved this place so we can share it with all our friends, i recommend our server who took the time to make our experience a great one A must try! Great place with cool drinks and great tacos & ceviche!

This place was absolutely amazing. The food was better than anywhere else I have been in a really long time. I can't wait to visit this place again. The manager and employees were so nice to us I don't think I've been anywhere in a really long time that had a manager and employees be so kind and make us feel right at home. We were treated like we were family. I absolutely loved it

Went to celebrate for a birthday dinner on a Monday night and this place is the real deal. If you are looking for authentic Mexican food, you definitely want to add to this to the list of restaurants to try. It was not too busy at all, so we were able to be seated quickly and were greeted upon entry. The drinks are served strong and you have the option to choose what size. I believe the cheapest drink was like $12 up to like $30 dependent upon what you prefer and how much liquor you want I order a drink with just the house tequila and I was buzzed, but if you like top shelf make it happen. Food came out in a reasonable time. We were provided chips and salsa as soon as we were seated. Our drinks came from the bar so maybe 5 minutes after ordering we received them. We order the nachos with all the meats. Shrimp fajitas, and a flank steak with some sort of soup (bean mixture with meat maybe sausage added) No complaints at all regarding how food tasted, it was hot and the shrimp were actually seasoned. We could asked any server for help and they all responded friendly and eager to assist. Did have to pay $1.00 for sour cream other than no issues at all. our bill was like $150, for 3 drinks and 3 entrees. The atmosphere was welcoming, music was played through the speakers and at one point live music performances close to mariachi with a hohner and guitar was used as they walked around the restaurant entertaining the customers.
