| Need recommendations for visit to dc |
| Guapos is disgusting. I've never eaten at mi vida. |
+1. Haven't been but it has to be better than Guapo's so I'd try there. |
| Has anyone tried La Sandia in Tysons |
| Guapo’s is pretty bad |
| Mi Vida has much better food than Guapo’s and is in a more fun area. That said, I’d probably choose Oyamel. |
| Guapo’s is inedible to anyone who grew up on Tex max (like myself). Another vote for Oyemel. |
| These restaurants aren’t even in the same price range at all. We love Mi Vida and the food is excellent , but it is pretty expensive. |
So what tex Mex do you recommend? Guapos is owned by a Mexican family btw. |
| Cactus Cantina or Uncle Julio’s over Guapo’s if Tex-Mex is what you’re looking for (in DC?) |
| El Centro (in Georgetown), Gringos & Mariachis and Casa Oaxaca (both, like uncle Julio’s, in Bethesda) are some other options. Seriously, you almost can’t do worse than Guapo’s. |
I live in Georgetown. Sadly, El Centro has gone down hill. The Georgetown Guapos is actually better than it. |
| I will stand up for Guapos (in Bethesda at least) as pretty good— not great but not disgusting. I like it better than Uncle Julios, altho I haven’t been much since Casa Oaxaca opened. |
That is a shame re El Centro. My last meal there was pre-COVID. |
Agree-- I hope it makes a comeback. |
