Great adventures,and we continue to have them down there. Being in the restaurant business for a few years has taught me that you have one shot at pleasing your clientele and that is it. When we did this review we did it a few weeks ago and not when they first opened. I have always lamented giving bad reviews even though deserved at places you frequent or love. I gave one of my favorite Mex eateries in East County a bad review even though I knew that they can do better. But the meal was bad and it is the singular experience that counts and not the sum. We will try again on your recomendation. But as usual we won't announce our presence. Keep up the good work and thanks again for your comment. We truly do appreciate it.<BR/><BR/>MichaelMichaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01308005068066611842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7317098976118080523.post-17811441696606577372007-09-03T15:17:00.000-07:002007-09-03T15:17:00.000-07:00It's too bad you've had this experience at El Guap...It's too bad you've had this experience at El Guapo. You must have really hit it on a bad day unfortunately. My husband and I are born and raised in SD and have found our way around many of the best Mexican food joints in this city and Baja... we truly love El Guapo and walk there frequently from our home to have lunch and dinner there. Our food never looks like the photos you took- so I'm thinking you hit it on a "new hire day" possibly. They did have to iron out some kinks after they first opened... but, it's worth another shot. The owner is a great guy. I would mention your experience, as I know he'd probably make sure you walked out of there feeling much different this time!mercergirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14334946093643124707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7317098976118080523.post-32478477543381301982007-08-12T07:08:00.000-07:002007-08-12T07:08:00.000-07:00Hahahaha......Kirk, that is way too funny.
