���� so in love with this place !! The tacos are AMAZING and the pupusas are sooo delicious ! Definitely recommend this place !!
Delicious empanadas-light and airy outside with a flavorful stuffing inside. Pupusa was well done-beans had flavor and cheese was evenly distributed. Curtido was the best I've had. Vegan pepian was enjoyed immensely by the boyfriend. The sauce that was in the pepian was amazingly rich. We will definitely be back!
Nice little 'hole in the wall' restaurant. It was our first time trying Guatemalan food, it's a bit like Mexican but different too. We had the sampler platter which was good, the guacamole was fresh but not too flavourful. My wife had the Paella which was decent. The pork tacos were great. Overall a nice place to definitely visit once and try!
Didn’t expect much when we drove up- honestly thought it was closed til I saw the open sign lit up. Once we got inside, it was clean- and smelled clean, someone just Fabuloso’d the place, but wasn’t overwhelming.
Started with the sampler to start. Nothing was bad, but nothing stood out IMO either. It was a little small for the price, but you got to try a variety of things which was nice. My dad ordered the enchiladas- not at all what we expected being more familiar with Mexican style rolled tortillas. These were fried open faced tortillas topping with carnitas and a really good Guatemalan slaw. It didn’t have as much meat as we would have liked, but the slaw was generous and delicious- it had pickled cabbage, beets, carrots, and onions. Wasn’t expecting beets, but added a nice touch. I got the seared flank steak. It was nicely cooked and the guac and green onions were nice. The rice and beans were bland, but ordered some extra salsa and made them pretty good. Also added on a chorizo taco, and was a solid taco with a really good salsa verde on double tortillas- street style of course. My girlfriend ordered the ejotes dish (don’t remember the full name)- it was battered and fried green beans that she really enjoyed and said they were traditional (having spent months in Guatemala). She said the same thing about the rice and beans as I did, but did the same with some salsa.
The cubano was the stand out of the meal- it was perfect. Pork was tender, ham was the right amount and tasty, with a good Swiss cheese and mustard and pickle. The bread was very far from traditional, and I’ve eaten a ton of Cubans over the years having spent many years in Florida, but the bread was perfect for the sandwich all the same.
The restaurant itself is nothing fancy, but doesn’t need to be, and the parking lot could use a little love, but nothing that would keep me from coming back here.
Not a perfect experience, but still 5 stars as I have to root for the small businesses that try so hard and do so many things right- give it a try and thank me later.
Still in my Top 3 Taco Tuesday spots!! The cabbage Slaw is everything!! Tacos are always a hit but definitely try their daily specials. Friendly staff that is attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. Pupusas are a must try! Dine in or carry out. A lot of social media says they are closed Tuesday but it's actually just closed Mondays.
Guatemalan food that is extremely approachable, delicious, and affordable, this “hidden gem” is one of those restaurants I tell everyone about. Food is so fresh, perfectly prepared, and the owner and staff are always friendly and efficient. The burritos, pupusas, tacos, fluffy yellow rice, and tender chicken, fish and steak dishes are all great. Basic but spacious dining room always has room, so give this great restaurant a try.
I sampled parrillada guatemalteca, beef empanadas, ceviche, and carnitas tacos over a few visits. Go get some! Their salsas and ingredients are top notch. Service is bilingual and friendly. The Guatemalan flavors and spices are different than the “Tex-Mex” typically found in the US.
Absolutely love this place the food is fresh and affordable….the staff and customers service were great too!!! I will definitely be back!
great food! it does take a little bit for your food to be ready. so if getting food to go, may be best to place your order ahead of time. food is delicious and flavorful. it is great to have so many culturally diverse eateries in the neighborhood! if you are unsure what to try, the staff has great recommendations!
This has quickly become part of my regular rotation. Prices are fantastic and the food is incredible.
Huge fan of the chicken, chorizo, or shrimp burritos. I didn't love the steak one as the steak was so finely minced it was almost like ground beef. (Add the guac, it completes it)
The platanos fritos are some of the best around. I've only been disappointed by them once when the platanos were not ripe enough.
The salsa verde is deliciously tart and spicy. I wish it was sold in bulk, I'd always have some in my fridge.
The Garnachas were excellent. Cooked to perfection and all of the ingredients were fresh.
I didn't try the enrolladas myself but my wife said the sauce they were in was perfect and she'd order it again.
This is our favorite neighborhood restaurant, the food is amazing, the service is fast and the people are super helpful. Definitely check it out and get the Yuka fries with the chipotle aioli
This little Hidden gem is an amazing place to get some authentic Guatemalan food. I had the sampler appetizer and two tacos. They don't serve alcoholic beverages but they do have some decent horchata.
