Was looking for a nutritious hot breakfast and this place was open early by 9 am. I stepped in and ordered a tasty cinnamon horchata and giant bowl of satisfying salty caldo mariscos including big hunks of fresh fish, mussels large head on prawns and a side of thick handmade tortillas, served with chips, a warm frijoles negra dip , pico de gallo and perfectly ripened aguacates.

My Chile relleno was missing the frijoles. The portion was small comparing what I paid. There’s no parking so we order to go.

Ordered chicken soup. Looked great but noticed no meat so, I tasted the broth it, was a bit on the salty side. Waited about 5 minutes longer then received the chicken separate from the main dish. Hand made corn tortillas which were delightful also ordered a drink named maracuya never heard of it but was tasty. For the price, I expected much better. The service was great, the facilities clean but, will not be visiting that establishment again.

I feel like someone didnt like our order because the tilapia was very raw in the center and all the meat ordered was underseasoned. The caldo de gallina was very good tho and i definately would order it again.

ALERTA . Quieres cuidarte tu y a tus hijos NO COMPRES EN ESTE LUGAR LA COMIDA ES DE MALA CALIDAD NO TIENE SABOR EL POLLO QUE PEDI ESTABA BABOSO Y LA CARNE ERA SOLO PAPA Y LA CARNE SOLO EL OLOR Y DE PASO MAL OLOR , EL PRECIO MUY COSTOSO GASTE 40 DOLARES EN 2 ALMUERZOS QUE TUBE QUE VOTAR

Rosa Ramírez

La comida era la más horrible comida que he visto, me dieron carne mitad cosido y el otro mitad no estaba cosido, jamás volvería a comprar ahí, no les recomiendo para nada, mi gente busca restaurantes que vale que paga, y mira como es la ensalada

E
Elena Portillo

Estuvo muy mal, no lo recomiendo nada, todo lo que pedimos con mi familia no estaba bien. 1. Tamal, muy pequeño y sin sabor 2. Caldo de pata, no era caldo de pata 3. Rellenitos, no eran frescos y sin sabor 4. Enchiladas, ya estaban pasadas Las bebidas un 5 de 10 El ambiente muy malo parece cantina Se tardaron demasiado en servirnos Y para terminar nos salió carisimo. NO VALE LA PENA, NO VENGAN

E
Ericka Ramirez

Está muy lejos de ser un ambiente familiar, parece cantina. Decidimos ordenar para llevar. 1.Los rellenitos no están fresco (el frijol no sabía bien) 2.Tostadas mixtas sin perejil o cebolla. 3. Chuchitos sin salsa y poquito pollo Y mis Pupusas sin salsa. Pagamos alrededor de $60 por lo cual no creo que la comida compensa el precio. Nos llevamos muy mala primera impresión

The food was really bad and service was worse

The service was nice and friendly but after I got home and took a bite of the Salvadoran tamale, boy oh boy, I was tasting a very stale tamale. It's sad because I don't want to write a bad review because I generally have experienced good things at this restaurant but this time I got shocked and surprised.

Rosa Raimundo

Well I ordered Chicken Pepian, which used to be very good. Guess what? It totally SUCKED. Hardly any flavor at all. Usually the sauce has a lot of "punch" to it, secret flavoring that the cooks use. Well, it didn't have it. It tasted like a little bit of pumpkin seed, maybe some flour, a little spice,some salt and the taste of the chicken itself. Meh. I asked for breast meat, and they gave me the boney back and a wing--almost all bone and skin! For vegetables there was only 1really limp green bean, 2 pieces of carrot, tiny bit of potato, hardly anything. From the cashier's unfriendly demeanor, I suspect she told the cook to make me a lousy dish on purpose. Also they purposely gave me the back and wing, when I asked for breast meat. Only the tortillas were good. And it was $15.00 at this really low-brow, nothing-fancy place. Waste of $$. They should make it more affordable for the local Guatemalans, who are usually low income. Won't be going back.
