Customer Reviews
A friend of the family turned me onto El Quetzal Bakery when I needed a last minute birthday cake. Within 4 days Alyssa had a beautiful two tiered cake made for my wife and to say it was gorgeous would be an understatement. It was everything I had hoped for and more! So many compliments on the cake at the party. People kept asking where we got it from. I will definitely be using them again. Thank you El Quetzal and thank you Alyssa!
Good food with good prices. The plates come in large portions.
We LOVE the Guatemalan bread from here. It’s truly the one that tastes more like home but the food is a hit or miss. We tried the tamales & the Pepian but they didn’t taste like my moms. The tamales are more from like the outskirts of Guatemala, made with rice mostly. Overall, we love coming here!
El Quetzal Bakery is hands down the best place in Houston for custom cakes. Their creations aren’t just beautiful—they taste incredible too! Every cake I’ve ordered has been perfectly moist, flavorful, and made with fresh, high-quality ingredients. What truly sets them apart is their attention to detail. The designs are spot-on, whether you bring them a specific idea or give them creative freedom. They capture every little element flawlessly, and the craftsmanship shows in every slice. The communication is also top-notch. From the very first message to pick-up day, they’re responsive, friendly, and committed to making sure you get exactly what you envisioned. Special shout-out to Alyssa, who goes above and beyond to make the entire process smooth and enjoyable. If you want a cake that’s
A great spot for authentic Guatemalan food and baked goods. I love to visit, especially for the Kak’ik and Pepian. Staff is always friendly and accommodating. The environment is clean and the restaurant is actually a lot bigger than you’d think from the outside. ¡Gracias por siempre proveer excelente servicio! 🇬🇹
