I come here 1 a month. There the best in town. I brought my son and daughter in law and they loved it. But I love the cabbage they don't give you enough when you order pick up.

Today I went for a nice lunch with my family. We were a group of 7! Service was alright the waitress was rude about me complaining about my meat being uncooked! Iam pregnant .They charged me "service charge" $23.40. I've been to other restaurants like mundo mariscos, Pacífico, etc... with group of 12. They never done this. Iam always nice when it comes to tip. I use to work at restaurants , fast foods. Never have I heard of such thing. I don't mind leaving tips but they didn't even tell me. When I asked server was rude about it . I like the place but, I wouldn't go back or my family. I don't want server doing this to Guatemalans who can't read/ understand this, or elder people. Not fair! So just watch out. I'll leave receipt!

Great little Guatemalteco place with delicious pupusas and yuca frita. Even my teenager was willing to try something new and wasn't disappointed. I will definitely be back.

I'm not Guatemalan so I don't know how authentic this is but it was pretty busy so I think there must be something going on. I loved the papupas. So manyboptions and so flavorful. That fire sauce would be great for my son in law but too much for me. I bought the cookies and empanadas as well. Warm spices, flavorful and again, many options for filling.

Delicious food and amazing service! They were running low on yucca so they gave us what they had and didn't charge us for it! We devoured our food and will definitely be back. The inside is very clean and they have great music playing. Thank you so much for an amazing visit!

Delicious Guatemalan food. Ordered Tamales and pupusas. Also, a great bakery on site to complete the meal.

I love love this place! They have a variety of drinks and dishes on their menu. Serving sizes will leave you full and satisfied. I always get pupusas de chicharrón, horchata or ensalada ❤️ They also sell pan dulce and other Central American goodies!

Accidentally stumbled upon this gem and can honestly say everything about this place was amazing. The food, the service, presentation and the ambient. *My husband and I came in hungry and forgot to take a picture of the pupusas but the rest of the food we got is pictured below. Now let's talk about the food. Everything was made fresh to order including the tortillas. Even the Horchata is homemade, you can taste it! Our food was so full of flavor. I know the Mojarra wasn't too seasoned but the flavor was incredible whatever they add to it is perfect! The platanos were perfectly sweet and came with cheese which I hadn't tried all together before. Lastly, the pupusas were delicious. They weren't super greasy like some I've tried before. I highly recommend this place. You must check them out.We don't live in the area but will definitely return when ever we have to opportunity to. We didn't try the pastries but will next time.

Horrible food , I paid extra for chorizo and got this nasty white stuff all around it, meat was very hard and no flavor. Horrible customer service no toppings they forgot to put the salsa I had to drive back again and when I called them back they didn’t even apologize or offer to make a new plate. If I was you save your money this food is nasty
