Food: Tasteless & overpriced fare

Guacamigos leaves a bitter taste, figuratively and literally, despite not listing any signature dishes. Its overtly simple menu and lack of authentic Mexican selections disappoint. Frequent complaints about bland taste, underwhelming portion sizes, and stale ingredients are alarming. At such high costs, one expects better quality.

  • Okay Taste

    Mixed reviews, with some finding food good, others find it lacking.

  • Bad Variety

    Simple menu with limited authentic selections leaves some customers disappointed.

Vibe: Scenic sights and high spirits

Amidst the chaos, Guacamigos doesn't slack on ambiance. It's a postcard-perfect spectacle with breathtaking harbour views, an immaculate interior design, and a live DJ spinning his magic. This stunning backdrop makes up for a perfect romantic date night setting or an entertaining evening with friends.

  • Great Views

    Beautiful, breathtaking harbor views enhance dining experience significantly.

  • Okay Drinks

    Drinks received mixed reviews regarding quality, price, and selection.

  • Negative Buzz

    Pretty empty with old dishes around; feels tourist trappy and not special.

Perks: Frustrating parking, loud noises

The perks don't make up for the lack of tasteful food at Guacamigos. Overwhelming music levels turn simple conversation into a shouting match. Parking is an issue with limited spots available. The outdoor seating arrangement, crowded with little privacy, doesn't help either. The restaurant's reluctance to accommodate pets at empty tables is perplexing.

  • Great For Groups

    Accommodates large parties efficiently with great service and experience.

  • Bad For Pets

    Refused to seat us with our dog, despite empty tables available.
