Guads Mexican Restaurant

We have eaten there several times while visiting Portsmouth and never been disappointed. The food is very flavorful and a good value for the money. Service was excellent and even brought a bowl of water for the dog. You can dine outside or inside.

Guads is an amazing restaurant. My friends and I stopped here about 8 minutes after they opened and there were already multiple groups waiting to be served. This gave us high hopes for the place since it was already so busy. The staff was 10/10. Each person was kind, funny, and provided excellent service. The food was really good and we are looking forward to coming back and trying more items in the future. Bonus points for their military discount.

*update 16 Jul 22* Ordered the table side guacamole & asked for it very very spicy. I must say, even though it was a bit runny, the flavor and heat level was fantastic. The fish tacos (grilled) with mango salsa were good but the grilled steak tacos were even better! Also got the original margarita (frozen) amd it was one of the best I've had. It didn't have too strong of a lime or tequilla taste - it was the perfect mix for an enjoyable drink. --------------------------------- First time to this location for a work function amd it was slam packed. The food and service was much better at this location than the Norfolk location. Their salsa and tableside quac never disappoints. I think I'll likely head back to this place vs the Norfolk one.

Guads is a really nice place to dine. There is plenty of indoor seating, as well as outdoor seating. There is also a bar. Our server was very attentive. He took our drink order promply, had chips on the table, and gave us space to review the menu. There was a great selection of items. For once, the menu had several dessert options. I selected the pork carnitas. The pork was fork tender and delicious. My companion ordered the beef chimichangas. These were uniquely presented as the pic will show. We enjoyed our entrees so much that we decided to order from the dessert menu. I ordered the cinnimon chimichurris and my companion had a fried ice cream. Both of these were absolutely delish! As the sun set, i noticed how cozy the outside seating was. There were ample tables, wrought

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
