Places to eat in Guatemala

This little restaurant is located right down the street from Cafe No Se inside El Caminante hostel, they have great drink specials and amazing food. Their rooftop terrace has an incredible 360 degree view of Antigua where we saw the sunset and Fuego erupt!

Great place to grab dinner and a drink before going out!

Favorite Dish: Th El Mirador Burger was the by far the best meal! Juicy, large, and served with out of this world guacamole. It also comes with grilled potatoes and onion so this 45Q meal will definitely fill you up!

Absolutely ... hands down ... the BEST homemade salsa and tacos in Guatemala.
When we are in Guatemala we will eat at Los Cebollinas at least 3 times a week because we cannot get enough of Super Ranchero taco platter and the salas that they make fresh at the side of your table. Each plate gets grilled scallions which are yummy! The atmosphere is very nice and relaxing and usually they have great AC which helps on those extremely hot days. You will not be disappointed going to any Los Cebollinas.

Favorite Dish: Super Ranchero Taco Platter - Three different tacos - one with pork and salsa al pastor (tomato, onion and spices), another with beef, bacon, onion and green peppers and the third with chicken marinated in pibil, served with guacamole (sooo delicious!), frijoles charros (red beans, pork, tomato, onion, garlic and cilantro (sooo delicious!)

A fantastic restaurant that is located throughout Guatemala.
We usually eat at the one in Antigua and have always had a great meal.
The atmosphere is very relaxing and take out is available.
Its nice to sit and watch the chef cook the meat.

Favorite Dish: Quesoburguesa La Estancia; Lomito Chapin; Filet Mignon; the cup of soup you get when you arrive

Each time we visit Antigua, I always have to go to Ni Fu Ni Fa. The food is delicious and the atmosphere is very nice. With most meals include the salad bar which is small but has all the essentials plus some delicious salads. Our meals have always been excellent no matter what we have ordered. The wait staff is always friendly and they do have English menus which they will offer to you without asking. If you are going to be in Antigua, do check out Ni Fu Ni Fa. It is a little more expensive but, well worth the money.

Favorite Dish: Salad Bar; Half Chicken; Ni-Fu Ni-Fa Tipico Dish; Filet Mignon; Chocolate Cake

I found this cafe while visiting my friend in Edificio Santorini an apartment building in zone 14. I thought it was just a minimarket but they have a full menu, they have american and colombian food with some guatemalan dishes as well. I found it to be very clean and economical. It is close to the airport and to many of the hotels in zone 10, so it could be a good place to eat before a long travel day or before catching a plane. I had their Q20 lunch special which was delicious. I think the owner speaks english and they have a website www.clickguate.com, they also do catering and have other businesses on their website.

Favorite Dish: I went back a second time and had their buffalo wings, they were the best I ever had. I think they sell their sauce to go, and one of the workers told me they sell it to the bars in zone 10.

Sarita is a chain restaurant along main roads. The food was very good in the one where we stopped, and the ice and salads are safe. There is a guard in the parking lot keeping an eye on things.

Favorite Dish: I really liked their tortilla soup.

Cafe Condesa is in the center of Antigua. It is very popular with foreign visitors because of the coffee and desserts. It is remarkable all the time, however, if you are in town on Sunday during brunch, go to the cafe. For about $10 you can get a delicious brunch buffee that includes coffee and juice. They have everything: Pancakes, Eggs, 4 salads, muffins, soup and dessert. It is well worth it and the atmosphere is beautiful.

Favorite Dish: I lived in Antigua for a month so I was fortunate enough to be able to try a few desserts. I really liked the macadamian nut pie and the asian salad. I really would not have tried the asian salad myself but it was on the buffet.

This restaurant was excellent. We went for a late lunch and the chef came out to discuss the food with us. She explained to us how to use the sauces and the spices that came with the dishes. It was a wonderful experience and the restaurant has a great atmosphere.

Favorite Dish: We had the vegetarian Pepian which was delicious. I think my favorite was the black bean soup with all the spices they gave us.
