El Quetzal Guatemalan Mexican Grill offers a variety of fresh and flavorful dishes, including fish tacos, Guatemalan style Tamales, chicken empanadas, chiles rellenos, and empanadas chapines. The food is generally very good, with many dishes made fresh and tasting delicious. The cocktails, such as the spicy margarita, are also enjoyable, and the pineapple juice is notably refreshing. The service is friendly, welcoming, and attentive, creating a warm neighborhood atmosphere. The staff provides helpful recommendations, enhancing the dining experience.
However, there are some concerns. The restaurant has a strong smell near the entrance, especially from the bathroom area, which can be unpleasant. Pricing for certain items, like the cheese dip, may feel mismatched given the portion and quality. Parking can also be tricky to access, requiring some extra effort to find a spot. Despite these issues, many guests appreciate the overall quality of food and service and would return, especially preferring to sit outside or avoiding certain items. El Quetzal remains a popular spot for authentic Guatemalan and Mexican cuisine with a friendly vibe.
