“Muyyyy buenas las garnachas soy mexicana pero por mi pareja probé estas delicias 🫰🏻🗣️”
“Viniendo de un guatemalteco, la comida es muy autentica. Todo estubo muy rico. Definiticamente volveré en mi proxima visita a chicago.”
“One of the best breakfasts I've had. Coming back for dinner”
“Finally got to try this placein my neighborhood. Small and unassuming but big in taste. Server is very nice and suggested items based on my preference. The plate was a hearty portion. Meat and vegetables were cooked well and seasoned deliciously.”
“You’re missing out if you haven’t been here. The food is amazing. The prices are extremely reasonable. Everything pictured was total $8. The service was so friendly- the guy working was so nice and brought me an amazing cup of horchata while I waited for my food. Which. Again. Was so damn good. I already can’t wait to come back here.”
“Un lugar único, familias visitan este lugar para desgastar de la gastronomía Guatemalteca, esta es mi primera experiencia probando comida de Guatemala y me súper encantó, el joven que atiende es muy amable. Quedé complacida y con deseos de probar más 👍🏼🤌🏼”
“La verdad si todo muy rico. Lo único malo que la cuenta es una sola. Osea no puedes ir con amigos por que no se puede pagar por separado”
“Este es el unico restaurant 100%Guatemalteco me iso recordar el sazon mi mama,todo exelente.”
“An absolute gem! We were craving pupusas after falling in love with them in Belize, and this spot had been on our list for a while. The pupusas (we got queso y pollo) were so comforting and delicious, freshly made and served with salsa and a cabbage slaw. We also ordered the Tamal Guatelmalteco which I’d never had before, and it was SO good! A new favorite. The zanahoria y pollo dobladas were phenomenal, served piping hot. Finally, we were served complimentary hot elote atole for dessert which was the perfect ending to a delicious meal. The service was so friendly and attentive! Also apparently they deliver which is awesome. Can’t wait to go back!”
“I loved this place and can’t wait to go back. The food was very delicious, friendly service, and a nice addition to the strip of places on Kedzie. My favorite was the tamal de guatamalteco which is super moist and tender, the texture is kind of like grits. We got pupusas de calabacita (squash, pollo y queso, and frijoles y queso. The caldo de res was flavorful and served with homemade corn tortillas which were hot and tender. The doblado was really well fried, very crispy and flavorful. Some of the sauces served on the side were spicy! I can’t wait to return and try all the other things!”
