As a central American native 🇧🇿 living in North Carolina, stumbling across this place made me so happy. " definitely got a feel of home " the food was tasty,reasonably priced, excellent service...the servers were very polite with smiles on their faces , Can't wait to go back !!!

This place is a fantastic find that we wish we had discovered earlier. Don't let the store-front appearance fool you; the food is incredibly flavorful. I’m not qualified to say if this is authentic Guatemalan cuisine but it definitely transported me to a different country. If you love bold flavors, this place is a must-try. The staff were very welcoming and friendly. We'll definitely be returning for more!

Very flavorful dishes and very authentic most of their food is cook as you order which keeps that flavor fresh and delicious. Recommend 💯

★★★★★ 5.0 Joe DeMattei · Aug 2025

This is my new favorite restaurant in Wake! I’ve had 7-8 different items now and every are universally fantastic. Tonight, I got a bunch of a la carte items- a salsa tostada, pork tamale, sweet plantains, pupusas (one shrimp & one beef), and a beef pastelito. Every single item was incredibly well made and very flavorful. My favorite were the pupusas, which are by far the best I’ve ever had. On top of that, the atmosphere is fantastic & the service is always great.

★★★★★ 5.0 Mark Goodwin · Apr 2025

I usually like to eat at local restaurants twice before I write a review, but once was enough for El Chapin. We tried several different items from the menu and everything was really good. We're looking forward to returning to enjoy more Guatamalan flavors.
