Both my parents are from Guatemala and it’s so hard to find a good spot. My mom raised us on Guatemalan food. We decided to try it out- I mean from what we ordered (garnachas, enchiladas, and my mom had a tamal) the only thing we actually enjoyed was the tamal. The enchiladas and garnachas are very different from the ones my mom has made and ones I’ve had in Guatemala as well. It was def not what we expected. Overall the only good thing would be the waitress older lady but...

The atmosphere was very pleasant for me, the service was really excellent and attentive, the food left me speechless, the seasoning was perfect for the meat and what I liked most of all were the pupusas, everything was excellent.

The food was very delicious, the Guatemalan seasoning was very good and recommended. We traveled from Minnesota directly to the restaurant thanks to the cook and the rest of the people who work there for an excellent job.
