★★★★★ 5.0 Eva von Weltin · Mar 2025

Delicious food and super kind people what else could you want? Try the desayuno tipico!! Meat is seasoned perfectly and their homemade sauces are so good. Bad reviews seem to be expecting a Cheesecake Factory atmosphere, this spot is far better.

★★★★☆ 4.0 Angie Benitez · Jan 2023

good prices, large portions. fairly authentic. can be messy. I ordered delivery of 4 different dishes happy with all of it. The tacos could have had the meet drained better...but otherwise no complaints

Please tell me why I had to wait 15 minutes for white rice, supposed to be beans and shredded lettuce, I guess that's the side salad I ordered. So not appetizing although the place smells good from the aromas of the foods being prepared. White Rice was cooked with too much salt, shredded lettuce is wilted and the beans resemble bean puree. If a customer asks for a side of beans, they want just that. Not for nothing but the prices you charge are outrageous as there is much competition around with better quality foods and cheaper prices.

Like most Guatemalan restaurants, this corner joint has an identity problem. It doesn’t know if it is Guatemalan, Mexican, Honduran or Salvadoran. All of that’s on the menu and Guatemalan gets overshadowed. I honestly think most Guatemalan restaurant owners are afraid that people won’t come if they don’t serve Mexican food. I think precisely the opposite is true. People are fascinated by Guatemala and would love an authentic experience. As is , they ought to call themselves “South of the Border, North of the Canal, but Nowhere Specifically In-Between”. Seriously though, I think if this family made a point of serving just serious, home-cooked Guatemalan food that more people would come, and from further away. They got someone in the kitchen who knows what they’re doing. If you want home-c
