As a central American native 🇧🇿 living in North Carolina, stumbling across this place made me so happy. " definitely got a feel of home " the food was tasty,reasonably priced, excellent service...the servers were very polite with smiles on their faces , Can't wait to go back !!! -
This place is a fantastic find that we wish we had discovered earlier. Don't let the store-front appearance fool you; the food is incredibly flavorful. I’m not qualified to say if this is authentic Guatemalan cuisine but it definitely transported me to a different country. If you love bold flavors, this place is a must-try. The staff were very welcoming and friendly. We'll definitely be returning for more! -
This is my happy and comfort place. I come here - delicious fresh food with great portions, friendly staff, upbeat music but not in your ears like some places, people coming here having a good time. Oh did I mention they also have tropical fruit milkshakes!?
The restaurant is connected to the store - the the store is just delightful - separated by a plant wall, the store has marinated meat, delicious deserts, and other general goods. It’s fun to walk around and browse while waiting for the food.
The tamales is worth a try - moist and well stuffed with generous pickles. I only wish I have a bigger stomach! -
Great food and Service. I order lunch here every other day. -
