Boyfriend reviewing here - This place is the bees knees, came here two days in a row. Had the pan con todo adobado and the pan con todo y plátano and let me tell you kings and queens BUSSIN is all I can say. Soft bread and well seasoned meats one isn't enough!

Excellent food, service, and ambiance. Came here after seeing @thesnacksensei on IG visit and been meaning to try it since. Glad we did and there were no regrets. Ordered like everything since I've never had food from Guatemala. All that food woulda been an easy $100 in the city but got it for half that. I did not get the dudes name who helped me but he did great recommending what I should try with it being my first time. He recommended a pastry called a quesadilla and reminded me a lot of Filipino bibinka. It's made with rice flour, cheese and it's got a nice crystallized sugary crust on top. Delicious! Had to refrain from eating the whole thing since I had a few sandwiches on the way. Also had a couple of the empanada looking pastries that had more of a cookie style dough, one with a pineapple filling, the other with a cheesy, custard style filling. So good. Got a few of the pan con todos and everything in it from the soft fresh baked bread, the Mexican style scrambled eggs (had chopped tomatoes, onions and peppers), the nice soft cool cheese made the whole thing just change your life. Ambiance was nice, modern, spacious and clean!...even the bathroom. Guatemalan breakfast is a new favorite. Very lucky to have this spot open up in the area. Looking forward to trying the entire menu.

This was my 1st time trying out Guatemalan sweet bread. Omg the bread was delicious, sweet and fresh!! I had the besito and empanada con crema I believe . I had the platano breakfast with black beans, crema and queso and those were the best black beans I had with so much flavor. I had the pan con todo and that was delicious, the bread was so soft and fresh. The service was great, the ladies were nice and sweet the place was nice and clean. I would definitely go here again and get the same food, but I'd love to try more Guatemalan food as well from here.

Food is always delicious and fresh. Every time I try something new it becomes my new favorite. But my favorite plate is the revuelto con chorizo. Service is always 5 stars, never a rude or short staff member. Friendly staff, always attentive and quick. Ambiance is bright, clean, modern. I like the set up to this location - San Pablo/Richmond (locations also in the Mission and Daly City). It's open, modern and lots of natural light. It has private parking and street parking as well.

Great new spot! The service was great and staff were very friendly. There's a few places to sit down and eat inside. Their bread is baked fresh in house. My husband and I tried the Pan con Todo con Asada. The bread had a very freshly baked taste and light and fluffy. The scrambled eggs were cooked to perfection without being overly cooked or runny. The carne asada was chopped into small piece and had a great taste. We also tried the taquitos de pollo which were good and the stole the plátano which was amazing especially for a cold day. If you like plantain you gotta try the atole! Well definitely be coming back.

The food was delicious . I was so hungry and excited to eat I forgot to take pictures. The bread is so fresh, fluffy on the inside and a light toast on the outside. My husband and I both ordered the pan con todo, desayuno de Chuchitos and a side of plátanos. The chuchito plate had a delicious tomato sauce that I wanted to eat with everything. The desayuno plates came with coffee so I had to pair it with a gusanito de chocolate. Highly recommend and so excited they are closer to home.
