Went to Guads during Portsmouth Restaurant Week that's going on this week. From a handful of restaurants that offer prix fixe lunch, I suggested to my friend to go to Guads since they seem to offer more food for the $$. I ordered the house salad which had mango dressing and steak fajitas. The salad was fresh (no wilted veggies here). Steak fajitas came with 2 small tortillas and side of rice, beans and usual fixings. The steak eas marinated well though a tad too oily! Service was good: someone opened the door as we entered, and when we left. My glass of water was refilled without me prompting. The only thing odd was that when the waitress came out with my and my friend's salads in her hands, she stopped by the bar to chit chat with someone for a good 5 minutes while we were a few feet away in our booth waiting. You wouldn't want someone breathing over your food, do you?

Found Guads through Portsmouth restaurant week. Decided to try it with my fellow Yelp friend. Located in a nice spot in Portsmouth. Parking around Guads was ample. Place was okay, our menu had all the sauces on it, lol. It was a well loved menu. Tried the house salad , it was okay. My steak quesadilla was delicious, I'd try it again. Fixins like sour cream, lettuce, etc that came with it were big servings which was nice. Our two servers were lacking customer service. One of them seemed out of it. Hope he's okay. Place could use a good scrub. Basically foods okay, wasn't impressed with the rest.

Came here after a concert at the Portsmouth Pavilion. I didn't have too many expectations. The staff was friendly and was patient as we made our order.We ordered 2 shrimp tacos and 1 fish taco and an order of taquitos. I got a Passionfruit drink on the special's menu as well. The drink was heavy on the syrup and tasted flat even though it was supposed to have ginger ale in it. The chips and salsa were just OK, nothing special at all and I really didn't care to eat much of it.The shrimp tacos were aright I'd give them about a 7/10. The fish taco, however, was horrible. The fish was paper thin, mainly skin and it was ripped open. The fish tasted like a fish stick instead of the type of typical fried fish taco you would normally get at a restaurant. The taquitos were greasy but still good. Overall, I don't see myself coming back here by choice.

I had a cheese quesadilla it was really good the food wasn't too expensive I really liked a guy I think was the owner. They had quiet music in the background and they were very nice. The food came some what fast and the service was good. It was very enjoyable I would go back.

Food & Customer Service was ABSOLUTELY Disgusting!!!Ordered a Carnitas Platter & Guacamole Dip, the food was unseasoned; greasy and did not taste like Mexican food. I started eating the Carnitas and the rice/refried beans made me nauseous The Guacamole was brown & tasted nasty, I only ate 1 small piece of chip with some & immediately stopped. I went to the restaurant after work to return the food and the customer service was deplorable and the staff to include the manager was rude and disgusting!!! They did not want to give me a refund and made all sorts of excuses to not return my money. I will never go back to this restaurant again!!!

I just had a fantastic meal! I was having a hard time deciding what I wanted to order, and noticed that the Wednesday special is Carnitas for only $10.99! It's a huge plate and some of the best Carnitas I've had anywhere in a very long time. I also ordered a small queso which was delicious as well. The young lady provided super friendly service and the place itself is an inviting atmosphere. I'll definitely be returning to try more of their dishes while I'm in Portsmouth!

We were going to a concert at the pavilion a few blocks away so we stumbled onto this place and it was AMAZING! We were seated immediately and the waiter was super friendly! The menu is incredible lots of traditional dishes and lots of high end dishes you won't find everywhere else. The carnitas was falling apart it was so tender! We also had strawberry and watermelon margaritas which were delicious and just the right amount of strong. I would absolutely eat here again if in the area!

The pricing online is not correct/up to date so when I went to pick up my order, it cost roughly $5 more. They did not want to honor the price displayed online and finally just took $2 off. Food was soggy and not tasteful at all. Took a bite or two and just threw it away. I got birria tacos, which is what I normally get at other places located near my old job. Decided to try this place out bc it is close to my new job.

Always great customer service from the moment you step in till you leave. The food is great especially for the prices. Have tried 70% of the menu hasn't missed yet, especially those yummy tacos, fajitas and that fresh guacamole (my go to's).Drinks are always good and cheap, and the atmosphere is perfect. Outdoors seating, booths, bar, and tables all without being too crowded. Right in the heart of olde towne by the library. I come here about twice a month and don't plan on stopping. Thank you guads!

There's too many Mexican restaurants around Virginia that try and do too much, smaller portions, fancy names, weird colors and crazy pricesGuads won't break your bank, but they sure will fill you and your dates belly for a crisp Jefferson bill.
