Guapos is probably the best place for dinner if you’re in this shopping center and dont want to go far after a Target or Best Buy run. Their fajitas are to die for. Enchiladas were amazing with tons of flavor. Service was very friendly and constantly checking up on us during a busy night. Prices were fair for the area and they gave us big portions.

We had a great time at Guapo’s! The food was fresh, flavorful, and came out sizzling hot—just the way we like it. We ordered a mix of meats, tacos, rice, beans, tamales, and even a margarita… everything was delicious. You can really tell they use quality ingredients.

The service was excellent too—super professional and very attentive without being overbearing. The staff checked in just the right amount and made us feel welcome the whole time.

Loved the vibe inside—perfect spot for family dinner or a casual night out. Definitely coming back again. Highly recommend if you’re craving good Tex-Mex in Fairfax!

We love this place. Family owned and absolutely hands down Mexican food. Yes, you might pay a little more, but you get quality food and good portions. Staff is very friendly and attentive. Never had a bad meal there.

Great restaurant that makes their own tortillas. Salsa doesn’t taste like canned tomato sauce. You can see them chopping fresh cilantro. Peppers they use for chile rellenos were firm, meaning they most likely aren’t frozen (could have been grilled longer, though, but still perfectly acceptable). I can taste the tequila- good sign they most likely don’t cheap out on alcohol with cocktails.

Some of the better Hispanic food we’ve had on the East coast so far.

We stopped in for dinner while visiting family in town. We had a great experience! The staff was exceptional! They explained the options well and were very patient in waiting for us to decide on some things. The food and drinks were delicious! We really enjoyed our time and would certainly go again.

Food here is great. I had the chicken fajitas, really tender and tasty chicken. They don’t give enough grilled onions/vegetables on the plate. Other than that, very good. The steak enchiladas were also not bad. Steak was cooked very well and had tasty spicing. Atmosphere is amazing!! Service was extremely slow…but the place was full.

Great food and portion fitting. A few more expensive items on the menu. Plenty choices to pick from. Some items just aren’t worth the money. It got quite loud so it was difficult to carry on a conversation. Have both indoor and outdoor seating.

First we only walked in for a table of two and we got a table immediately on a Thursday. Appetizers was squid and it was cooked perfectly. We hadn’t finished it yet and got our main course. My husband got enchiladas and I had shrimp tacos. The food was very flavorful and the portions were awesome. He got a scoop of ice cream and I got Flan. Overall was a good experience and we highly recommend you all to eat here. Our service crew was Ethan and Frank. They both did a wonderful job and very positive. Price was affordable and we will definitely be going back.

Vibrant with excellent food and festive atmosphere. Great outdoor seating if weather permits. For being situated in a shopping area parking lot it does NOT feel like that at all with this restaurant.

I recently visited a Mexican restaurant that came highly recommended. The interior decor was beautifully crafted with traditional Mexican elements, creating an immersive and authentic ambiance. The food was flavorful and well-prepared. The grilled Guapo Pulpo (Octopus) was a standout, accompanied by well-complemented condiments. The generous serving of portobello burrito with beans, rice, guacamole, and salad was satisfying. The refreshing horchata provided a delightful contrast to the savory and tangy dishes. The service was attentive, and I had a pleasant dining experience at the restaurant.

This family-owned Tex-Mex chain restaurant at Fair Lakes Shopping Center in Fairfax radiates warmth and cheer, especially during the holiday season. It’s beautifully decorated with a large Christmas tree at the center of the dining area, surrounded by ornaments, trimmings, red ribbons, and wreaths, creating a cozy, welcoming atmosphere. The vibrant Mexican touches add lively, authentic charm, making the space feel even more special. The food is consistently flavorful, made with fresh ingredients, and cooked to perfection, ensuring every bite is delightful.

We truly appreciated that the restaurant remained open on Thanksgiving, allowing us to enjoy a lovely meal with loved ones. With friendly service and an inviting ambiance, I wholeheartedly recommend this spot to anyone looking to experience the best of Mexican cuisine right in the area.

The food we tried was outstanding, and we highly recommend:
1. Ceviche Mixto stands out brilliantly, perfectly complemented by a selection of condiments, fresh, tasty, and tangy—an excellent appetizer.
2. Plantains are well-fried and bring out the sweetness effectively.
3. Fried Calamari, cooked with fresh calamari, generous portions, and tasty, paired with homemade garlic aioli, making it even more appetizing.
4. Steak Fajita, served on a sizzling platter with sautéed greens; the steak is well-grilled, and all the other condiments, including pico de gallo, are delicious and homemade. Eating it with a warm, homemade tortilla was excellent.
5. Mariscada, a Spanish-style seafood stew with lots of seafood cooked with saffron to give it that rich yellow color. Great for cold weather.
6. Pescado en Salsa Cancun, grilled salmon fillet served with shrimp, scallops, white rice, and beans. Tasty and satisfying.
7. Refreshing drinks like horchata and bunny (carrot-apple-ginger) juice; they are cooling, tasty, and provide a perfect contrast to savory and tangy Latin-inspired Mexican dishes.
