This place is so delicious. I ordered the tamales, chile renello, & pollo en creme. Their salsa was just the right amount of sweet and spicy. Highly recommend! you def want to try this family owned authentic Guatemalan spot. Service was great too. Thank you! We will be coming back soon!
Decided to stop here due to being in close proximity, wide variety in their menu, definitely try a bunch of their antojitos (appetizers), they're all good and the menu in its entirety is super affordable. Provided with multiple different hot sauces which were all pleasantly spicy.
I am not an expert on Central American cuisine, yet. But maybe soon I will be. Tried a pork chop today and a chile relleno. Both were unique and very good. There is an extensive menu, and they offer breakfast all day. But most importantly they are neighbors trying to make it like us all right now. Great place to improve ones regional latin cuisine knowledge!!
Visited for lunch with several co-workers. The food was excellent, the service was...okay. There was a language barrier with the server, and the menu did not match what the server was attempting to explain. To be specific, I cannot have tomato sauce, but most of the dishes have tomato sauce. The only dish I saw that did not have tomato sauce would be the Crema with chicken, so I ordered it. Some of my co-workers found out that the dish actually DID have tomato sauce, so the server "picked a better option". I had no idea what I was getting, but I was assured that it would not have tomato-sauce. What I ended up getting was this chicken soup with what I could assume was green peppers and potatoes. Considering that I had no idea what I was getting into, I was concerned, but the food was excellent. Only thing I would wish for is more rice and potatoes for the price. Otherwise, I enjoyed the decor and the smell of the food very much! I would recommend that they have a bi-lingual server on staff.
