Fantastic joint and a great find. The ribs were easily the best I’ve had from any restaurant ever and the longaniza was nothing short of phenomenal. I also thought the tamales were outstanding(sorry I didn’t get a decent pic). If you are looking for some outstanding Guatemalan food look no further. Go here and wear some loose pants!
Delicious authentic Guatemalan cuisine! A beautiful reminder from when I lived there. They even had some Mayan cocoa I bought to make at home. <3
I got kicked out of the strip club across the street, so I went here. This is a fantastic place to have an existential crisis after a bouncer tells you to leave the strip club because you are ruining your life and the experience at the club for the other patrons. I was also kicked out of this coffee shop, but I'm a scumbag and I shouldn't be allowed in anyways.
GREAT HOLE IN THE WALL! 🇬🇹 I came here the day I was leaving the country to go to Guatemala because I wanted to try the food I will be eating. A Guatemalteco / Guatemalan may have a different opinion, but to me I thought (in comparison to the food I had in Guate) this place has AUTHENTIC GUATEMALAN FOOD! Come check it out! If you’re vegan / vegetarian there are options for you! I appreciate that so much.
The food is so freaking good! The flavors are very robust and delicious. I got the Chapincito Plate and a limonada. The portions were perfect and I ate everything on my plate. The lemonade had chia seeds in it, which my Guatemalan friend tells me is a very standard Guatemalan drink. The lemonade was great, I got one to go. The service was really good too. They were very kind. This is my new favorite place to eat. I want to try everything on their menu. 😍
Whether you are planning to travel to Guatemala or not. Maybe you are exploring Guatemala from Austin? This is it!!!! El Rinconcito Chapin is the only real Guatemalan food in Austin! Don't expect anything else but real Guatemalan food. The food is delicious, full of flavor, nice atmosphere, not big yet perfect. They play Marimba music and they have pictures on the tables of what Guatemala has to offer if you visit.❤️
We got a spread of delicious food. These are our top dishes: Costilla Adobada, blue corn tortillas, atol de elote, fried plantains, Guatemalan tamales and Longanizas (made at the restaurant), (don't order the chorizo or chipilin as it needs improvement). Thank you to the amazing stuff! You made us feel like we were back in Guatemala. 😊❤️
Squuueee! My wife,Jeanne, found out about a Guatemala restaurant right here in Austin 😊
So if course we had to try out!
Having just spent 10 days in Guatemala I can attest to the absolute authenticity of all the dishes we tried.
From the fried plantains to the chicken and herb stuffed chuchitos...
From the pepian to the creamy chicken...
And the black corn tortillas and those oh so heavenly black beans!!? One could almost swoon! ❤️❤️❤️
I like the food and the waitresses are friendly. If you want to try Guatemalan food this restaurant is the best for you.
first time eating in this Guatemalan restaurant and it was AMAZING! the staff were super sweet, considering i can't really speak Spanish. lots of different item on the menu with pictures, which really helped (and everything looks so good!!) i tried the chapincito plate and churrasco la antigua, they came out very fast considering how busy they were. the food were crazy good with big portions as i demolished them within 15min! also got agua fresca del dia (the pineapple flavor) and it's very refreshing! overall super satisfied with this experience, definitely coming back!😍
This was a very good experience for people looking to venture outside of the normal when it comes to Latin flavors. Try this little Guatemalan joint. Staff were nice and the food was good.
