First time visiting this Guatemalan restaurant and bakery. Most of the food is prepared and waiting at their deli. A lot of variety and place is well staffed. There is also a bakery with fresh bread including full loaves. It also has shelves with popular Guatemalan grocery products. Lastly it has indoor seating for those wanting to eat there. This place has it all.

Ok so first off, this was my first time trying Guatemalan food and oh my goodness the flavor the textures and the inviting atmosphere just had me at the heart of Guatemala! They have tortillas hecho a mano (homemade tortillas) which complimented the food very nicely. It was like a small store that had a bunch of Guatemalan food and snacks. They were PACKED so I didn't really get to engage with the cashiers but they got everyone out in a reasonable time and were efficient about their work. There is a big seating area for you to sit and eat inside with a lot of artwork and murals on the walls. I will be returning just for the horchata as well, so smooth!

This is one of my favorite Guatemalan food place. The food and service are great pretty consistent. It's usually a chill place I order first pay than sit. Tamales are good the ilachas and the pollo guisado are my favorite. Portions have gotten smaller and prices have gone up but I guess that's happening all over.

If you are looking for a authentic Guatemalan home cooking you are in for a treat. We were staying in the area and I found them thanks to Yelp. I got there right as they were opening and it felt like my tias and abuela was behind the counter cooking. They were so inviting. Everything was clean, open and enough seating. They helped walk me through all the options and I was in my way. They did forget the cream which was disappointing but overall the food was delicious
