I’m Guatemalan. The atmosphere has marimba. They have Chico bananos / fruit. They have everything you would want to eat in Guatemala and a mini store inside the restaurant. Really good!

Great flavors, good guacamole.Nice find

Had a late lunch, early dinner at 3 PM. I asked our waitress for something chicken with ?...This is what I got. It was fantastic. The 2nd plate was a 3 meat plate with chips. It was all fantastic.

I am always on the hunt for pupusas. Pupusas hail from el salvador. I should’ve known better in seeing their menu staying “guatemalan pupusa”. Normally a revuelta pupusa is shredded pork with seasonings and cheese. here it’s beans and pork. the cheese pupusa was not even stuffed. tasted like a tortilla with all the cheese on top, not inside. It didn’t taste horrible, but just be careful if you are looking for a traditional pupusa, it won’t be here.

I love this place... Cold beer delicious food and very nice people..I love the seafood soup!!!

The meat fillet feels tasty because it is neither very cooked nor very thick, cleanliness is seen, very kind Those who attend

The food was good. We enjoyed everything. They left one of the things I ordered out of the bag but they were nice when I called to let them know. The prices are very decent. I will eat there again.

Really loved this place. The price/value is off the charts. My wife and I ordered 3 meals worth of food and I got a pound of chorizo to take home for less than I would pay for just a night out somewhere else. Even the side salad was great, all fresh veggies with radish, cucumber, onion, tomato, lettuce. I will have to come back and try everything!

Do yourself a favor make this a regular dinner spot. Your life will improve. You might get a raise at work, find true love, stumble into fame while pursuing a passion project. Rescue a dog at a nearby shelter that warns you of an impending heart attack and decide to retire on a beach in Guatemala just to remind you of how it all started...

Great tasting food and gautemala delicacies. Fruit bowl is nice end to a meal. We came from Winston-Salem and it was worth it.
