“ Food was large portion. However not many vegetarian or vegan option. We had to order "off the menu" for a veggie burrito. It was good but not sure why it took 45 mins to make a veggie burrito. ”
“ Stumbled upon this gem, an amazing Guatemalan restaraunt while in the area. Food was delicious, drinks were perfectly made, service was great!! ”
“ Such a lovely cute restaurant! Really homey feel with friendly service and authentic food. They took quite a while for our to-go order (finished my sangria and order still wasn’t ready). The quesadilla looked more like a open face sopa (with beetroot?) . I’m not sure if they gave me a wrong order but everything tasted delicious so I didn’t bother calling back. Prices was reasonable. Hope to return for a dine in experience next time. ”
“ A delicious variety of Guatemalan food!! Must try the garnachas and the stuffed peppers! Every plate we tried was super tasty, from tamales to chuchitos. Staff treated our group of 10 like family. Enjoyed outdoor seating while marimba music played in background. Will be going back! Gracias!! ”
