Food is very good (their recommended Jambalaya in photo; very dense and spicy so you should probably get side of rice). ~$20 base for most dinner dish. Pop is $4. One slice of garlic bread refill is $2.

January 2025

Great food, great atmosphere. Steak was tender and delicious—guacamole was fresh, tortilla was clearly handmade minutes before serving. Churrasco for sure. Music is great, not too loud. Just feels homey, like your Guatemalan friend is making you food. Doesn’t feel like a restaurant—feels like you’re at a friends house who has a pool table. Phenomenal.

I found my new Go To Hidden Gem when I am in Raleigh-Durham. And I do mean hidden. It is located behind a gas station and a little hard to find.

This place was fantastic. I have eaten Guatemalan food in the past, but none this good. I had a perfectly seasoned 8oz ribeye churrasco with the fixins. Guacamole and chips came with it as an appetizer. I like guac, but this was amazing! Reasonable prices too.
