"The Lamb & Beef Gyro in Pita Bread was pretty good! I want to try the chicken next. I got extra sauce and I should have gotten water. It came quickly too. They don't mess around."
"Portion was extremely small. Food was bland and very little meat. Extra sauce helped as well as salt and hot sauce from home. Practically $20 for a small pita after fees and tip. Totally not worth it."

"Exceptional. We think everything tastes great, Presentation was awesome and everything was well packed and stapled. Veggies are super fresh and delicious and this is between 7 and 8pm on a Sunday, mind you. Meal was prepared on time. Very happy with this restaurant and will likely order again. "
"Honestly maybe deserves five stars but I was also very hungry! This food was very good, I got the Mild Boneless Chicken Kabob. It is chicken breat which I appreciate. I definitely first thought it wasn't enough food but it was definitely more than enough. The chickpeas are not your typical Indian curry its more of an oily base and thick seasoning taste very good on top of the rice. The Chicken is good, but you are getting the bold flavors from adding the chickpeas I added the white sauce only. Comes with a "side salad" I tosed that on top with the rice and the onion did what they were supposedto do! The only reason I didnt order the spicy chicken due to my spice levels however I will be trying that next time for flavor purposes "

"Always exceeds expectations! One of my favorite places & well worth the price. They don’t compromise quality or flavor & make their meals with love. Jumbo shrimp/steak fajitas and jumbo shrimp/steak quesadillas are to die for, with the green/red sauce + sour cream! I always ask for extra tortillas because they give a lot of food. Can make 5-6 little tacos off one fajita box. I come here way too much. Good people 🙌🏽🩵 ! Five-star food, five-star service - Always! Thank you"
"This dish is normally very good, but I only received three shrimps within my chicken and shrimp fajita dish, the chicken was minimal in comparison to the usual amount given, and the food was also salty than usual. "

"The chicken parmesean is a complete hit! Some of the best tasting chicken (for this dish) I've ever had. I ask for a little extra tomato sauce so it doesn't dry up with the noodles. I've ordered this three weekends in a row. I've also tried the Chicken Alfredo, and that's pretty good, too!"
"Spaghetti with Meat Sauce Pasta was very good, better than the usual fare I get from the chain restaurants. It had some spiciness to it, not as bland as many others I have experienced. TheJumbo Cheese Slice was good, not great, but I think if I had gotten pepperoni it would have been very good. All in all this will likely become my future pasta place."

"I think this food was fantastic!! Great tasting EVERYTHING! General Tso's Chicken had a great spice level and wasn't overcooked like I've had at other places in the past. The shrimp with broccoli was terrific, the Pepper Steak was so delicious and NOT rubbery -- finally!!! Overall, great food, great price...wil DEFINITELY order again!! Thank you!!!"
"The chicken with broccoli was a very generous portion with crispy, broccoli and tender chicken. The sauce, even with a little soy sauce was on the bland side. The eggroll was delicious, crispy, and again, generous. I only wish there was more duck sauce. An egg roll that size needs at least 2 to 3 packets. I ordered the extra soups for tomorrow so I did not taste them, but again the portions even the small orderare generous. I will definitely order from brother Chinese again, but I will ask for extra duck sauce and will try something different."

I used to go to Guapo's for the Quesadillas as they made them just like I like them, this Guapo's did not disappoint. The portion is on point, the flavor is great and I couldn't ask for the quesadilla's to be fresher. The chips... yummy 😋 you can tell they're homemade. My lunch took a little longer because of the distance of the restaurant!, but definitely will order again! Thanks Guapo's"
