Yum yummy - super yummy. Am I a stalker- maybe I am - yes back again for more deliciousness. Restaurant delish, bakery side another delish. I'm obsessed with the bread pudding. Just so delicious chewy, not too sweet- perfect . Hubby obsessed with the cheesecake. Now restaurant- wanted the blanco chicken but still cooking- about 15 minutes wait but I didn't have time so I just ask for the next best thing- chicken with potatoes & tomato sauce - just a party in my mouth. The flavors. Staff friendly. Ambiance . Ohhh and their tamales . Today we had the chicaron- no I didn't lick my plate .
I've only been to the bakery side so can't speak to the restaurant side nor can I call out specific pastries as I don't know Spanish. Highly recommend- Bakery has a big selection of pastries freshly baked. Definitely has staples (concha's) but also a few rotating ones and all are delicious. I've seen varieties that aren't usually readily available. AND their prices are unbeatable. Most pastries are under $1 so you can get a dozen for $10! Small parking lot in back.
They have a small parking space, and meter parking outside, they take credit cards, the staff if very nice and welcoming, I order a ponche and it was really good and friend plantains with beans and sour cream. I haven't tried all their food but what I had was good and I recommend. They take credit card, and it a very nice place where you can order different stuff you feel like eating. Kind of like Panda Express Guatemalan style. The place seems very family welcoming and nostalgic food.
Been coming here for years with friends and family who enjoy delicious Guatemalan food. I've had nothing but good experiences with them so I'm a bit confused as to why so many negative reviews. This is one of the cheapest restaurants in LA with authentic food and portions for amazing prices. Enough indoor and outdoor seating. Parking is small so you might have to find street parking but it's never hard. Also the ladies here I guess can be a little sassy but I was raised by Guatemalan and Salvadoran women so it feels more like being serviced by a tia lol so don't take it personal.
Love the food, gets packed quickly, and parking is limited. They should have two separate lines for take out and done in. Other than that quality of food is great!
