Review of Guapo's

You might think that, after the scombroid poisoning incident, I would be done with Mexican food for a while, but I love it too much. So Chris and I hit Guapo's over in Tenleytown by his work.

Guapo's is your standard Americanized Mexican, but it's not a bad bet if that's what your in the mood for. The crowd was mostly post-work happy hour types. We sat on the patio in the sticky, summer heat where I sucked down a couple nicely frozen piña coladas. Chris stuck with Pacifico.

My Guapo's salad was heavy on the chicken and light on the actual salad. Chris's carne asada fajitas were good, although the carne asada wasn't the usual beaten down bistec. The service was attentive, even though the wait staff kept having to wind their way around a couple uncontrolled bratty toddlers (one of which nearly had a hot tray of food dumped on his head).

All in all, if your looking for fajitas and margaritas, Guapo's isn't a bad option.
