I thought this place had shut down but when I sent my husband to buy tamales, he came here. He said the place was up and running with customers. He only came here because he thought that if the tamal cost $6 then they had to be good. They were not. When I asked him where he got them and he said here, I looked it up on Yelp, who was saying they were permanently shut down. Little to no flavor. Traditional Guatemalan tamales have a slice of red bell pepper, and an olive in it, giving it more flavor but this one just had the meat and let me add that the amount of bones that were in the tamale was just absolutely unacceptable. Everyone knows that you don't put bones in tamales. The amount of times I bit into a bone or had to spit them out, made the eating process so unpleasant. I had told my husband to not come here anymore since it's so overpriced but I guess he forgot. It was just another reminder why I don't come here anymore read more

When we walked in we weren't exactly sure of the process, but it was clear we were supposed to order at the counter first. The restaurant is big, spacious and super clean. We ordered the churrasco chapin (grilled steak with rice, black beans, sausage and house salad) and dobladas (tortillas with beef, cabbage and onion and homemade tomato sauce). The dobladas were yummy and hefty but not too heavy. The churrasco wasn't bad, lots of food. Food comes out relatively fast and is a little more on the pricey side. read more

Yum. Guatemala food is kind of a mix of Mexican, San Salvadorian, and Caribbean. It's also its own thing in many ways. This place captures that. Service is slow, but they are just coming out of a pandemic. The atmosphere is good, but all the little spots of religious messaging mixed in are a bit obnoxious. Food is well made and flavorful. Be adventurous and try things that don't sound familiar to you. And be sure to ask for some Diego's Chocolate to take with you (trust me on this one, and you will thank me later). We wouldn't make the 90-minute drive just to come here, but it's a nice place to go when you're on your way to or from the airport or if you are in the area. Unique and tasty. read more

We've been to Antigua 3 times now and can safely say it's a favorite! We were watching a food special on TV about the cuisine of Guatemala and decided to seek out a restaurant in the Seattle area. Luckily we found the only one is fairly close to us! The restaurant is nice and clean and we're always greeted quickly with a welcoming smile. We started the meal with a pupusa each and a horchata. The pupusas we ordered were a combo of pork, cheeses and beans. Definitely delicious! The horchata was sweet, light with a taste of cinnamon. Both of our entrees were pretty good sized, and had us second guessing our need for the appetizer pupusas! We thank Antigua for another delicious meal, and at a very reasonable price! read more

The place serves really great Latin American cuisine. The dishes are unique and feels authentic. The staff is friendly as well. The restaurant was a bit hot so we sat in front of fan but their drinks were savior. Overall the food was great for the price we paid. Even vegetarians in our group really liked the food and it was filling. The tortilla was really fresh and in house made Must try: any of their papusa read more

This place suffers from a location you would never find unless you were looking for it but the food was really good and very friendly service. I loved the pupusas. They were much flatter than the Salvadoran pupusas I'm used to but they were at least equally as good - just different. We also had a platter that consisted of several foods including potato salad, avocados, roasted green onion stalks, and some meat, beans, and tortillas. I don't remember what it was called but it was really good. If you like Mexican food and want to branch out definitely give this place a try! read more

Just incredible! Watched Mark Wien's recent Guatemala videos and found this hidden gem. Everything we ordered was above and beyond & I doubt that there're any bad dishes on the menu. Very friendly staffs as well. Can't wait to be back to try everything! read more

Can't believe I've lived 10 years away from my mom's cooking & have not eaten here until now. I am Guatemalan, Chapina through & through, & this is the place I'm going to from now on when I'm missing a home cooked meal. My mom is an exceptional cook & nothing beats her cooking but this place at least gets me close. It's super affordable & easy to get a table. If you've never had Guatemalan food, I suggest the tamales & enchilada bc they're different than what you've probably had before. read more

You have GOT to try this place! You're guaranteed to get fresh prepared, authentic regional food that will leave you wanting more. I didn't capture the pupusas because we INHALED them! They were the best I've ever had. The server (shout out to Eddie!) gave us a sample of all of their homemade drinks and the tamarind was my favorite. Everything we tried was clearly freshly made, well balanced and delicious. Definitely a place where the food is made with love. It was a long drive for me from the east side but totally worth it and I highly recommend going out of your way to try this spot! Support a local business and be rewarded with some dang good food!! read more

Muy bien! This Guatemalan restaurant is so on-point. We've ordered here twice, and it's never failed us. Because I love all things that are tamale-like, we ordered the chuchito, pache, and tamalito de chipilin. Also the caldo de patas to share. The chuchito and the tamalito had a similar savory masa base. The masa was so flavorful, as if it was mixed with chicken stock, not water. I liked the loroco in the tamalito-- it was like a tastier spinach. As for the pache, I loved the fragrance that the banana leaf imparts, and the fact that it was like a delicious mashed potato base. So different and interesting. The caldo de patas was simple and delicious. I love the marrow and fat in the patas (feet). Perfect for a lovely night in. In short, go here for some delicious, homestyle, comforting Guatemalan food. read more

We tried a lot of different things: enchilada, pork puposa, veggie puposa, ceviche, horchata, kids quesadilla, tamal pollo and one other dish. Our favorite was the Veggie Puposa and the chicken Tamal. But, everything was really good. Server was very nice. It was very warm in the restaurant but we were fine. read more

When my favorite Greenwood Guatemalan restaurant closed I thought I'd never again enjoy a pupusa. So glad I was wrong. During a trip to Kent to drop off a ton of Styrofoam (yes, save the environment and recycle this toxic stuff) for recycling, we searched for a good local restaurant to support. Enter Antigua. Set in a nondescript strip mall filled with fast food and quirky businesses is Antigua Guatemala. Upon entering they offer disposable masks and hand sanitizer and the restaurant is very clean and nicely decorated. The menu isn't overwhelming though it's oddly set-up. Prices are hard too see but when you find them they are reasonable. They have loads of familiar items and a few different ones, like the Elote Loco or "crazy corn". OMG, it is uh-mazing. It's an ear of corn on the cob, with a bunch of condiments that is pretty, flavorful and hard to share. Next time we get two. My boo had chicken tacos (order of 3) and I had two black bean/cheese pupusas. Both were perfectly crisped but not greasy, and decent proportions. Two entrees and the corn were $26 with tax, which is totally reasonable for food of this caliber. I can't wait to find another reason to come to Kent. read more

This place doesn't look like much from the outside but when you walk in, you're greeted with warmth and a cozy setting. Food is delicious, well priced and they have options for vegetarians! We ordered the veggie enchilada guatamalteca, elote, black bean pupusas, dobladas de pollo. The food was super flavorful! Perfectly seasoned and so satisfying. I loved the enchilada guatamalteca, it had a refreshing beet and cabbage slaw on it. I've never had anything like it and I loved it. My favorite were the pupusas! They were so soft, cheesy and came with a delicious slaw. I'm typically not a fan of slaw but this one was amazing. The service was excellent and we were started with complementary chips and tasty black bean dip. Will definitely return and bring more friends! read more

I'm so glad I found this gem! A little Guatemala inside this restaurant. My husband is Guatemalan so of course when we saw this place, it was a must try! We got the Shucos which is a Guatemalan style hotdog, one word DELICIOUS! One critique would be that the sausage needed a little bit more salt, it was a bit bland, but luckily the sauces sorta help. We will coming back. Also their Rellenitos de frijol, yum! Ps. They are following COVID regulations. We've ordered take out only, but I believe you can dine-in. read more

Nice little Guatemalan place in Kent! JK tried their pork and cheese pupusa (came sizzling hot and was a nice size, but could have used a bit more seasoning), enchilada guatemalteca (wasn't sure about this mix of ingredients, but it was surprisingly good!), dobladas de res (also good), and elotes locos (corn - wish it had been a lot hotter, temperature wise, and next time would request no ketchup or mustard). The horchata was a bit too sweet and had a slightly odd flavor, but can't pinpoint what it is. Service was friendly and reasonably quick. If you live in Kent or are visiting and looking for good and interesting eats, this could be the place for you! read more

My friend and I wanted to try Guatemalan food! I saw this place was good from a blogger and we actually came on the 3rd to last day before indoor dining was temporarily closed due to a surge in Covid. We had drinks - the Tamarindo and Jamaica! Our waitress was very kind and although English was not her native language, she was very accommodating and helpful! The Pupusas were very good! I recommend that black bean and cheese as well as the corn! I heard the hot dog Shucos is good so I'm aiming to try that next time! I had the tostadas (tomato, black bean, guacamole separately as well as the vegetarian enchilada which has beets!) So good. Must try this place! read more

First Guatemalan restaurant ever and it was delicious. I will be coming back. Everything was really savory and satisfying. Thank you!!

Found this gem while looking for a place for dinner with friends from out of town, before heading to the airport. We were blown away by the portion sizes, prices, quality, and service.

The mixed shuco hot dog isn't on the menu, but it comes with carne asada on top of the standard hot dog. The meat was good, and I enjoyed all of the sauces and avocado that went with it. The picamas sauce gave it just a hint of heat. The bread seemed a little stiff, though. I ordered a pork and cheese pupusa, but they gave me one that only had cheese. The cheese was good, but I don't think I really like masa dough. The coleslaw and the sauce were both just "okay." The mollete dessert wasn't my thing, either. The dulce de leche didn't have much flavor, and I didn't like the soggy parts of the dough. read more

Ordered the enchiladas and Pepian. Food was fresh, made to order and authentic. Better than my mom's Guatemalan home cooking. The service was also outstanding. 100 recommend! read more

the first thing that I noticed when I walked in is it felt like it felt cozy as if I was walking into somebody's home in the winter with the heat on and it smelled nice no signs of mold it smelled clean the tables were clean they followed social distancing The waitresses wore masks the service was great they promptly attended to us and gave us plenty of time to order checking in with us The food was great! Churrasco Chapin with the marinated steak was great and flavorful I'm not a big fan of beans so I didn't eat my beans The Yuca Con Chicharron could have been cooked a little better the pork was really hard and the pieces of fried cassava just seemed a little over fried not burnt but just too well done so if you're going to try the dish I would ask them to cook it a certain way And the plantains were great they weren't too sweet they weren't too bland The parking lot is a pretty good size you it's a private lot shared with other small businesses sit some back of the Safeway and Kent across the street from the banner Bank and I'm not sure if they do delivery but it is worth a dine-in experience when you first go!! You know my motto try it for yourself!!! read more

I was in the area with my SO and I was craving pupusas. So I hopped on Yelp and found this place. I'm so glad we decided to stop here. We prefer vegetarian options when possible so I was pleasantly surprised to see that there were several dishes we could try. The bean pupusas were just what I was craving. So good! We were also pleasantly surprised by the veggie enchilada guatemalteca. I normally don't like beets but they were so delicious in this dish! My SO agreed that this dish was really good. We will be back when we are in the area. read more

Fresh, flavorful, and authentic guatemalan food! This place brings me back to my time in central america. There are plenty of salvadoran places around here, but apparently I needed some guatemalan food in my life! Pretty distinct cuisines, actually. Ordered tamales, paches (like a potato tamal), and the plátanos y frijoles (pictured). So comforting and delicious. Head on over! Friendly service with a side of bachata too read more

Phenomenal authentic cuisine with wonderful and helpful Spanish customer service with Miguel (Aka Mike), Guatemalan himself. Highly recommend any and all food eater to branch out and try GUATEMALAN grind (I would not come expecting Mexican food; this is real, Guatemalan cuisine! ) We ordered: Savory- fried banana, cheese, crema, refried beans platter, a chicken Chuchito, a chicken Tamale, Pepian soup, and Yuca and Chicharrón. Dessert- Rellenitos de Plátano (my favorite flavor is with filled refried beans- trust me it works so well with its consistency and sugar covering!) Buen provecho!!! Enjoy!!! read more

My family is from Guatemala, I was raised on comida Chapina. I'm from LA, the US Guatemalan hub. And this is the most authentic Guatemalan restaurant I have ever been to. I was very impressed. I cook comida tipica very well and I was impressed! My mom makes the best tamales but these were very good. The chuchitos were on point! The Churasco was on point and enough for 2 people. Frijoles colados were on point as well as the platanos fritos served with cream and queso fresco. The tortillas, amazing! Thick made by hand also known as pishtones by us Chapines (Guatemalans). I highly recommend, great quality and fresh! I'll def be back and will taking my highly discriminating mom when she visits us in WA this Spring. read more

No no no no no..... keep driving, don't stop here. I get the economy is getting to some peeps, but the day I pay $17.00 for ONE fried, sliced in 6 pieces, ripe banana on a leaf....this is where I say NO, this is not inflation any more. This is called total RIP OFF!!!! Unless it's as old as Antigua or they drove there and back to fry it just for ME, they are out of their minds to charge anyone that price for 1 plantain!!! The pupusas were under cooked. The caldo was a small cup and a half of caldo and veggies with sides for $20...$20!! I'm good. I'll never be back. Prices here are as if they have some type of imported product that no one else can get off the Mexican store down the street. My sister ordered breakfast and it came with the tiniest sized longaniza that we've ever seen. My son and husband bought a burrito ( which is Mexican cuisine not Central American) and I guess the chef decided to get fancy with it, cause he put a few micro greens and 2 pansies on it... I guess to imply it was worth the $15 they wanted to charge for how small it was. Sadly they spent more money on looking "nicer" than on the quality of their products. The beans weren't even made from scratch, you can tell they used Dúrcal from a can. I've been to other Central American spots and my husband and his family is from there, so know this isn't right at all. We were beyond disappointed since my in-laws were in town and we wanted to take them somewhere to eat good. My mother in law is a great cook and if she says it's no good, that's that. Never again! read more

The ambiance here was nice. Went in about 1:20pm a couple families were here. Looked like there were only a couple people working here. Took a bit to order but non the less the order was taken and exactly what we ordered came out. As for the food, I was disappointed because the photos look like the food would be good. However, I ordered one tamale and one pupusa with a michelada. The tamale was actually good with the chicken right down the middle. The pupusa was not good at all, I would not recommend, I actually had to spit it out. In the picture you can see how it looked and it actually looked old like it was reheated in oil. Being Salvadorian I cannot recommend. The michelada was good! With the food and drinks and service, I don't think I will be coming back. read more

Rating might increase If I get to try more of the real main dishes here but I just stopped in for a light meal of a tamal and a tostada. Both very good and fresh. Very kind and quick table server too I've never had Guatemalan tamales before. It was bigger and sort of more fluffy and light than Mexican ones I think. Also not very spicy which I was glad of did to my sensitive stomach - You can always add hot sauce if you want but the chicken in this tamale has plenty of flavor and was tender and fresh not dry and chewy like a lot of tamales. The atmosphere was warm and bright and there are some "fancier" dishes on the menu that look totally worth trying for a nice dinner. Yummy looking breakfast too. Pleasant Latin music playing. read more

I think this place gives little quantity, but I'm gonna give it a decent rating because there aren't places like this in the area. I think the ambiance is great, and the staff is great as well. The flavors are there for the most part and I wouldn't rush back, but I'd go again sometime. read more

We called Antigua for a pickup order of 2 pupusas ($4/each so $8 total), a Dobladas de res o pollo ($9.99/each), I asked for a chicken and a beef. The hostess said it would be $26. I thought the pupusas were less than $4/each so I thought the math added up. My bf went to pick up the food and when he came back, we only had the pupusas and one order of the Dobladas. We called them to ask about it and they said they thought I asked for one of the Dobladas to be beef and the rest chicken. Okay, my bad for not being super clear but when we hung up, we realized the Dobladas were all chicken, no beef anywhere. Also, if they only charged us for only one Dobladas, shouldn't the bill have been closer to $20 with taxes??? The math just doesn't add up to me. The food itself was pretty bland. They didn't give us any sauce or salad for the pupusas like how they pictured it so it was very dry and the chicken Dobladas were soggy, it didn't look crunchy like the pictures. We were only 5 minutes away and we've had fries in the car for 15 minutes that were crunchier. The chicken in the Dobladas also tasted like they just boiled it. Pretty disappointing overall. We didn't have enough food but I lost my appetite after eating some of their stuff anyway. At least they were fast but I wouldn't go here again. read more
