I have been coming here for many years but this time the food was the best I ever had! I don't know what changed but the bread was amazing, the chuchitos were excellent, and the rice and the beans were delicious. You need to try this place, it won't disappoint you!!

This place has a line for most of the day. We had a tamale, Chile relleno, and atole de elote. Everything was delicious! The tamale was moist and meaty, I would definitely order that again. The Chile relleno was stuffed with a beef paste with veggies. The atole de elote was sweet and absolutely amazing. It was my first time trying Guatemalan food. I would drive 40 miles again for this place.

This place is delicious. Carne guisada with rice and beans is my go to EVERY time. The pupusas are amazing too but they are made to order and people in the kitchen don’t like to make them. They usually say that they’re unavailable.

This place has a bakery, small store with traditional guatemalteca products, and hot plate selection. The prices are reasonable. They offer combos and side orders. The indoor dining is open and tables are sanitized after each use they also have outdoor dining which is also convenient.

Had to check this bakery out and ended up coming back for some breakfast before leaving CA. Delicious ! I really wish they made the eggs with the tomato like my grandma who is Guatemalan makes. Can’t always get what you want but besides that delicious !

The food here is delicious and authentic, with flavors that really reflect traditional Guatemalan recipes. That said, consistency can be an issue — sometimes items are slightly overcooked or undercooked, and portion sizes vary depending on who’s serving. As someone with a bit of social anxiety, I don’t always feel comfortable asking for adjustments, which can make the experience hit or miss. Still, the taste keeps me coming back. When it’s on point, it’s honestly some of the best comfort food around.

Place looks clean, staff is friendly but it's very expensive so be prepared to pay. I ended up paying $60+ on just bakery items which I didn't expect to pay. It also gets very busy so I would say best time to go is early in the morning.

Perfect, you find bread, food and some tipical items from Guatemala. I love the taste of their bakery and also their food, so if you are looking for a place to indulge your paladar this is the right place. I’m home now and bringing a star down because a big disappointment on the pineapple empanada I was expecting real pineapple jalea, but instead they are using the caned stuff the resulting flavor is just a $0.50 bread you find in any market all over LA. If you are from Guatemala you know what I’m talking about.

Always the same atmosphere, the ladies are always in a bad mood, portions are small, bathrooms are uncleanly, no seat covers and no paper towels. This place is definitely not up to the hype. Food isn't always fresh. Just sitting on the buffet line all day I've eaten here several times. Definitely not. much improvement.

Love the guatemalan food. Opens early as 5.30 am. Recently I see that they need to add 02 more cashiers, line takes 45 minutes to get my order. Plus 15 minutes to get huevos rancheros. Organize better your place. Make sure by 5.30 am you have food to serve. I appreciate the effort but need to improve customer service.

I always come here to get Guatemala traditional sweet bread, but today I was so disappointed because there was not enough bread that even the lady told me that I can only get $3 dollars of bolillo, I mean I'm so happy to always see this place crowded but to deny more of their products it's just sad, they need to make more and more of their delicious bread specially during the evening and when the weather is cold, everyone rush to buy bread even during a hard day of work people stop by and to get this kind of service, not fair.

Don’t come here if you know English. Had three different people try to take my order, just a breakfast plate, and the most common one as well. Person I was with also tried her best with Spanish as well. Was very patient. But manager came and made things even more akward at the register in line. Wouldn’t recommend, spend your money elsewhere without sitting down and eating with rude people.
