Desperado Restaurant & Cantina

This is one of the best bars I have I ever been to. I asked for a coffee drink that she had never made before, and she made me the best mocha, cinnamon latte, bailey’s coffee drink I have ever had.

Great food. Sketchy location. Not exactly kid friendly, but fine for adults even if you aren’t heading over to the girly bars afterwards. Good chips and Mexican flavors.

Taking the advice of a local DJ, my family and I decided to eat out for a combined birthday celebration. The décor and establishment was authentic Tex-​Mex. However, looks can be deceiving. Upon arrival, we seated ourselves in a booth that was closed off to the bar area. The waitstaff was limited and service was slow. Because of the closed off space between the bar and the dining area, getting the attention of the waitress was a hassle. This local DJ mentioned that the chips were «free flowing», but we were sadly misled to find out we had to pay for extra servings. The food I had was tasty, but the other entrees were not satisfying to the rest of my party. The atmosphere of the venue in my opinion, is not suitable for a family with children. Others may have a different opinion, but this was my experience.

Great service, great jack and cokes. Ask to see «the bible» if ya want some fun drinks

Looks can be deceiving! One might be tempted to pass on by because of an incorrect assumption of ‘the seed factor.’
Don’t make that mistake! It’s a great lil Tex-​Mex place that has great food and a friendly vibe once you wind your way upstairs, around the corner, down the hall, and make a left thru the door, all while avoiding the seedy neighbors… I know, it’s exhausting just typing it!
Danielle, a co-​owner, was MOST personable. Aircrew friendly always a nice
bonus; I’ll definitely be back!

I love this place. Very good food and drinks. It’s my favorite place on the island for lunch, I go several times whenever I visit Guam.

I love this place! My husband and I come here 1 – 2 times a week. We both love Mexican food and I LOVE margaritas so this place is perfect :) Super friendly staff. The bartenders are great, my favorite is Chelsea, such a sweetheart! We are always well taken care of here and the prices are very reasonable. 8 bucks for a 20 oz margarita where at other places on island, a 20 oz drink would cost you 20 bucks! The food is good, the staff is awesome :)

Awful, ugh! We have eaten at desperado’s before. It was ok. We went back tonight after hearing they had a buffet and the price was reasonable, which is a big deal for Guam. We got there it was not even set up yet. then we were informed it would be in the bar area and our kids could not come in there, I made a comment about my kids being old enough to get their own food and magically they were allowed in the make their plates. The «mexican food buffet» consisted of. Rice, no flavor at all, pinto beans unseasoned again no flavor, enchilada casserole which was so greasy it was inedible my husband compared it to mexican style shepherds pie, chicken and cheese taquitos, those were ok, and mini chimichangas/​burrittios made with the same greasy beef as the enchilada casserole, and chicken wings which were the best thing available. There was also a «taco bar» over on the side which consisted of some greasy beef, lettuce, tomatoes, and cheese. Hard shells were only available.
The Salsa was abysmal and the chips were stale.
It was a bust over all. If you are drunk and looking for some bar food the 9.95 is worth it if you stick with the wings. I really wanted to go into the kitchen and show the «chefs» a thing or two about mexican food. This was worse than taco bell.
As far as service goes it was good. The waitress kept our drinks filled. There was a moment when we asked for clean plates she was puzzled but that was resolved quickly.
