Reviews
"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-cooked style, pan-national Latin nomad food, then you’re in the right spot. But if like me, you were here with your homesick, Guatemalan expat squeeze, wanting a taste of his grandma’s kitchen from abroad, you’ll be a little disappointed. The food wasn’t bad. Some things were a little bland and others a little salty. (Quantity made up for quality. It was lunch the next day too). The tortillas were authentic handmade Guatemalan, which is a big deal. But it didn’t quite scratch the itch for a little taste of home."
"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"
"This place is bomb and authentic as it gets. The pastellitos are amazing and so are the pupusas. The fried chicken and the stew chicken (pollo guisado) is also my favorite here. The food is always fresh and prepared with care. Anybody complaining about this place doesn’t understand what they’re ordering or doesn’t check the prices before they do. Just ask or Google it. Seriously people. There’s pictures on the menu and all over Google for gods sake. I don’t normally review food places but glancing quickly at some here, people obviously are being idiots when they order and I need to rep my favorite neighborhood spot. There’s always someone on staff who speaks English so just ask. Love this place."
"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."
"Not sure why bad reviews I are here & the rice & beans were so light & yummy. Everything was fresh & loved the homemade salsas. Just went for Mother's Day 2nd time here amazing! Feel like ur in Grandma's kitchen."
