Guajillo

Delicious! Wish I discovered this place sooner.
We ordered the combo fajita and shared between two people (yes it’s large. The shrimps are huge). Flavor is amazing, all the ingredients are fresh and seared perfectly. Their salsa also tastes amazing and homemade.
Definitely adding this place to our restaurant rotation.

I enjoyed dinner at Guajillo with friends, and it was a delightful experience. The Mezcalita was easy to drink and would be perfect on a hot summer day. The table salsa and chips were stellar. The enchiladas were delicious, and the serving was generously large. The decor is charming, creating an intimate atmosphere. It's truly a hidden gem for anyone in the mood for Mexican cuisine.

This place is simply great. The staff is really friendly. They always keep the chip bowl full. The margaritas are strong and the best value when you get a pitcher. The food is really good too. Everything I've gotten has been excellent from enchiladas to their mega burrito to tacos. I find myself going back here a lot because of the excellent service and good food.

Really cute place in Arlington. Food is good, could use more spice but that is a personal preference. I give the salsa a 8.5/10 served warm, chips are 6/10 could increase the salt and warmth, Shrimp Fajitas 8/10 tons of veggies. Tri-Dip 7/10

Good place will come back!.

We love to have lunch here. The food feels like homemade and made with love. Definitely coming back soon!!

Food was delicious and really authentic, I had the taconazo (5 tacos) and loved that I could try it all. The servers were really fun and very attentive, refilling chips and drinks regularly. Would definitely recommend!

This is our favorite Mexican restaurant in the DMV area. Not only is the food amazing but the staff are so nice and they all work well together to make sure you have the best dining experience. Although we don’t go as often as we would like, they always remember us and we really appreciate their warmth and kindness as well as their delicious food! Recommend specifically their fajitas and their poblanos enchiladas!!

So good! Wish I discovered this place sooner. I’ve lived in the area for a few years and this is the best Mexican I’ve had. The service and atmosphere are top notch too!

Excellent customer service!
We had a great meal with a vegetarian option which to my surprise was even cheaper than the meat option. Hot sauce was provided, water was brought to my dog, and we had a couple of beers as well.

What a fine. Really good meat and pork. Huge burrito with pork. Fresh, not a jar, salsa. Steak with beans and mole sauce was really good. Best picco in town. Really good ingredients. Highly recommend. Nice decor. Easy to chat without blaring music.

Excellent place. best tacos in Washington..it made me remember ciudad de mexico 🇲🇽 😋. Margaritas. I would change the presentation that's it.
Great customer service..kudos to all the stuff and chef.

If I moved from the DC area, Guajillo is one of the restaurants I'd miss the most. Every menu item is excellent, but there is definitely a standout among them: the mole poblano. It is made from scratch (like everything else), simmering for hours and hours and made from too many ingredients to count. Each one blends together to make the perfect sauce accompaniment to the chicken breast or enchiladas. Get an extra dish of the mole poblano; I have eaten it straight out of the bowl with tortillas! Everything else is delicious as well, from appetizers (ceviche!) to all of the main courses. But have the mole...you will be happy you did!

Sunday lunch time place was empty and I felt bit skeptical. However, it exceeded my expectations. Their salsa is a chipotle style the way l like. Margherita was done very well, good amount of salt on the rim. My tortila style 🥗 with shrimp 🍤 delicioso. Large shrimp juicy and fresh, quacamole freshly made, well seasoned, not too salty.
My friends burrito was gigantic. Very good food and value. Recommend 👍

Outstanding service by Lucy! The food and drinks were great! Real Mexican food.

Ivan the man. Very charming. Great restaurant nice atmosphere. Good food. Thumbs up ...join them at Guajillo

I don't think it's a "run of the mill Mexican place" at all like another reviewer said. They use good ingredients. The salsa was spicy how I like it. The pork belly tacos were good too. My cocktail was strong and not too sweet.

Guajillo Mexican restaurant in Arlington, VA is a true standout in the local dining scene. From the moment you walk in, you'll be impressed by the exceptional service and friendly atmosphere.

But let's talk about the food - it's simply fantastic! Guajillo offers a wide variety of classic Mexican dishes, each bursting with bold and authentic flavors. Whether you're in the mood for tacos, enchiladas, or fajitas, you're sure to find something to satisfy your cravings. But what really sets Guajillo apart is their margaritas - they are hands down the best in Arlington, period. The perfect balance of sweet and sour, and with just the right amount of tequila, they're a must-try for anyone who loves a good margarita.

Despite the entitled clientele that can be found around the area, the service at Guajillo is exceptional. The staff is always attentive and friendly, and Rolo, the owner, goes above and beyond to make sure that every guest is satisfied with their experience.

Of course, no review of Guajillo would be complete without mentioning the parking situation. Yes, it's tight, but that's just par for the course in Arlington. The food and drinks at Guajillo are more than worth the effort it takes to find a parking spot.

Overall, Guajillo Mexican restaurant is a must-visit for anyone who loves delicious food and amazing margaritas. With their exceptional service, bold flavors, and welcoming atmosphere, it's clear that they take pride in delivering a dining experience that is truly exceptional

Nice little restaurant with a very friendly staff. They have really nice outdoor seating and the food was amazing. I loved the warm salsa, it had such a comforting feeling compared to salsa that is served chilled. I got the Masitas de Puerco and it was very authentic, from the the way the pork was prepared to the refried black beans.

Birthday celebration 🍾 great place to share good moments with family. Excellent drinks,food,and service.

Been coming for about 10 years and always been happy. Gave service a 4 due to more recent trip. Bus boy just put the dish on the menu we were looking at. When we finished the dishes he just stood around, leaning on furniture and socializing with other employees.
