This place is definitely authentic! We ordered a multitude of meal options to get a good flavor of this restaurant's roots. I ordered two options that was very similar to each other like the tamales. There were other dishes that were very similar to the tamales in terms of the masa corn meal and lard mixture. I also ordered a beef tostada that was luke warm. The plantains were cooked perfectly! We also ordered something that resembled a pancake, but it had beans and cheese in it and also a side of rice, that was Good! The rice had a really good Zest about it that was a nice change from the usual rice. All the food on the menu is made in house. Some desserts are from other places and some are made in house. The other side of this restaurant is a Guatamala grocery store. It has so many options! From medicine to chips to drinks, they have it all!

This place is sooo good!! The taste is like no other, the Papas Locas are the best! I will say it is more expensive than other places but it is definitely worth it. The staff is really nice and they have a great atmosphere! Go try them out :)

Everything from service, food and price is good with this place. I've never experienced anything bad like how some apparently have. The second I walk in I get greeted right away. The food always comes out quick even though sometimes they apologize for it coming out too late. Honestly, I don't mind waiting. I'd rather have the cooks take their time and feel like they can relax instead of being under so much stress.

Took my mom in for lunch today, we are Guatemalan and my mother taught authentic Guatemalan cooking in Antigua Guatemala. The staff there was very friendly and very accommodating. There is a great selection of Guatemalan dry goods for sale and the menu is very impressive. We had tostadas which were very fresh and made to order. The tamale was good too. We ordered some food to go including chuchitos, tamales, and atol de elote. All were delicious. Only one item my mother and I did not like at all, the rellenito. It is supposed to be a dessert and it lacked sugar, the plantain wasn't cooked with sugar and the bean filling also lacked sugar and chocolate like a traditional rellenito. But I will definitely be returning. The restaurant was clean, and the staff was following covid protocol. If your in the area give this place a try. We drove 45 minutes and it was worth it.

I had some Guatemalan friends coming down to visit from Virginia and decided to take them here to eat. We loved the authentic food and great service. My friends were thrilled and even bought food to go after we ate. What a great experience for us. Thank you to the waitstaff- one young Guatemalan lady and a lady from El Salvador. We will be back next time they visit or sooner.

Pretty good food and the price was acceptable. Seating is a little tight but that's just part of the atmosphere. The only weird thing is it's like a grocery store so you potentially sit with rows of shelves around you. Which is okay until someone comes bumbling around you searching for their Pelon Pelo Rico and is all in your space.

Delicious, legit authentic, was pleasantly surprised how cheap it was. If you like flavorful food, get the pollo en pepian.

Authentic food at an affordable price! My husband and I both ordered pupusas con queso, chicharrón, and frijoles but there was almost no queso or chicharrón in either of our orders. Other than that, the tamarindo, rice, and salsa were all delicious! We'll go back!

Great tasting food and gautemala delicacies. Fruit bowl is nice end to a meal. We came from Winston-Salem and it was worth it.

Really loved this place. The price/value is off the charts. My wife and I ordered 3 meals worth of food and I got a pound of chorizo to take home for less than I would pay for just a night out somewhere else. Even the side salad was great, all fresh veggies with radish, cucumber, onion, tomato, lettuce. I will have to come back and try everything!

Only giving this place a 4 star rating because of the quality of the food. If you go at a busy time, their service can be very very lacking. Our table of four waited for 45 minutes to receive our food. When they asked if there's anything else that we needed, I asked for rice only to never get it. The food is pretty good though and should make up for your absent waiter/waitress if that helps. I recommend the carne guisada.

The food it good but the thing is I had to wait for 20 minutes for a Tamale witch should be done already but other than that everything else was good and its a little small.

25 years ago I left Guatemala, and I did not have the opportunity to eat Guatemalan food for all those years, when I try the food it was like the taste from Guatemala it was awesome. I will recommend this place.

This is a great gateway to Korean food if you haven't tried it before. I have never had a dish here I didn't like. The sprawling restaurant area is beautiful and unique. So glad our friends suggested we meet here. Food was outstanding!
