Cafe La Escudilla: great food and lots of it!
by iwys
La Escudilla is my favourite restaurant in Antigua. I've eaten breakfast, lunch and dinner here and they are all good. If you are a meat eater, the Paradilla Quetzal (mixed grill), including steak, pork chop, chicken, sausages, chopped tomato, avocado cream, black beans, bell peppers, onion and tortillas (yes, all that) is great. There are also plenty of vegetarian options and the salads are good and clean. A breakfast, including fried egg, 3 tortillas, salad, coffee etc, costs Q10 ($1.30). There are daily special meals, comprising soup, main course and soft drink, for Q18. This is the place to come when you are hungry. The courtyard eating area, with its lush vegetation, is very attractive and at the rear of it is Riki's Bar, which is one of the most popular travellers' bars in Antigua.Opening hours: 7am-midnight
