Guapo’s Fairlakes: Authentic Mexican Cuisine in Fairfax, VA

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.
