Restaurante Las Calmas is one of several bamboo shacks down by the lakeside at Panajachel, but I think it is the best in terms of value, quality of food and service. Whole grilled lake fish with rice and vegetables was great value at just Q25.
Fridas is a lively Mexican bar-restaurant, decorated like so many restaurants in Central America nowadays, with a Frida Kahlo theme. I ate Norteño de Lomito, grilled tenderloin steak served with rice and beans, and it was very good. They offer a good range of cocktails and their margaritas are outstanding.Fridas is not cheap and main courses tend to cost around Q50 It's two and a half blocks north of Parque Central, near el Arco

If you are at the Lago De Atitlan and would like to have a real treat try this:Entering San Pablo from San Marcos direction, stop at the first houses and ask for Estuardo. He is a young “Gringo” (forigner) who decided to live and work in the village well known to all.He has a traditional stone built pizza-stove in a tiny room in his un finished house and makes the pizza mainly for take away on Fridays noon through Sunday.He happily made a pizza, especially for us with real Mozzarela and mushrooms, on a weekday’s late noon and set a table for us in his backyard. Our particular one was made in his home stove from pre baked dough… yet; it was a really good one.pili
I am told that the name of the restaurant comes from "Guatemalan Jimbo's". Jimbo is not a native. You can enjoy streetside dining, right in the shopping district of Panajachel. Guajimbo's is a unique, small restaurant in Panajachel. They serve a breakfast that I had never tried before, of pancakes with caramel topping and whipped cream. It is wonderful!
The name isn't terribly origional but it is right by the main park in Antigua. We watched the Super Bowl there. Food looked good but we had already eaten. Small place but the owners were young and super friendly and working hard to get the place up and running. They had just bought the hote/restaurant and were trying to fix it up when they had the money. They put up a huge white sheet and got ahold of a projection tv. We could see everything just fine.Fun crowd. We hope you will all stop in a buy a beer and support them.
Didn't have time to eat here but hear it is very good mexican food. The pictures painted on the walls and all of the Frida souveniers are great.The history of Frida Kahlo and her husband Diego Rivera is fascinating. Worth a Google on a rainy afternoon. Particularly interesting is the story about her broken back depicted in the first picture.
Really good food. Very bad piano player made one evening quite comical. We ate at this restaurant a few times. Cute patiotop tables. Quaint restaurant. Biggest piece of Snitzel we have ever eaten. Only $5.
This is very comfortable, beautiful restaurant, but not too "posh" at all. It´s prices are quite reasonable, I wouldn´t call it cheap though.They have nice music playing on the background and the restaurant is kind of set around a garden. Very delicious food! Try the cheesecake.. Cheesecake
The fundamental staple is the tortilla – a thin round patty of corn dough cooked on a griddle called a comal. Tortillas can accompany any meal: If you know Mexican tortillas , you’ll find that Guatemalan ones are smaller and a little plumper – except when they appear on a menu under the heading ‘tortillas’, when they’ll be bigger and performing a vaguely pizza-base-like function. Fresh handmade tortillas are delicious. Fresh machine-made ones are sold in tortillerías. If you run out of tortillas in a restaurant, just ask for more, as they always are unlimited.The second staple is frijoles (black beans). They can be eaten boiled, fried, refried, in soups, spread on tortillas or with eggs. They may be served in their own dark sauce, as a runny mass on a plate, or as a thick and almost black paste. No matter how they come, black beans are always nutritious and can be a delicious though...
