I don't understand the high ratings for this restaurant. TexMex food & margaritas fine but there are much better in the area. Service seemed confused & harried; it's really loud so I got wrong margarita because server thought I said "guava" instead of Guapo's and then wrong entree arrived (but pork tamales don't sound like chicken & spinach enchiladas). Maybe it's better not on a Saturday night?

Our team went to Guapo's for a welcome lunch for a new colleague and had a great time. The food was delicious and the service was great. We had a nice room all to ourselves. The waitress kindly took group pics for us at the end to commemorate the occasion. We'll definitely be back!
