The food was excellent. We are Guatemalan, and let me tell you the fish in egg for cuaresma, (Easter) is exactly how my mom cooks it. Plus they make it more presentable than a home dish. The toppings were excellent and the rice that comes along with it is exactly how my mom makes rice. So yes, I will be coming back. They do take time to make food cus it is cooked to order so give them time to cook. About an hour. The draw back is you have to ask for a fork. Napkins, etc. Be specific and ask ahead. It's annoying, I know. La comida es igual que la que hace mí mama. Regresare por eso. Pidan utenciales etc. Por adelantado. Es como mendigíar por esas cosas. read more

Everyone was super friendly at Channy's and the food was INCREDIBLE! The tortillas were so thick and warm! We tried lunch items #11 and #19, both were delicious, but I have to say, #19, Carne Guisada, stole the show. I still think about it, and unfortunately I don't live in CA. I would make a trip back to Hawthorne just for Channy's. It was also a busy day but our food came out quicker than I expected. You have GOT to eat here! read more

Channy's Comidas Guatemaltecas - Latin American Near Me - Hawthorne, California

Bakery and restaurant serving Guatemalan food. The Shuco was really good - made with fresh baked bread, avocado and bacon. This may technically be more like a hot dog, but with breakfast sandwich vibes. The bread is seriously so good. Also ordered the Breakfast #1 - eggs with tortilla, beans, and sour cream. It's not actually called Breakfast #1 - it was just the first breakfast item on their menu. Food takes a bit to make because it's made fresh and to order. Worth it. Was in and out within an hour for a group of 3 and it was fairly busy. Everything was so good. Would definitely go back, especially since it's hard to find good spots near the airport. Also everyone was super nice. Chill ambiance. read more

I can't believe the reviews aren't higher! I never really leave reviews but I had to! This place is so yummy. I recently went in and ordered a caldo de res, and it's hands down the best caldo de res I have ever had. The meat was so so tender. I also bought some pan dulce and omg. AMAZING. I hate to spend money eating out but this place can have all my money! read more

Came recently for bread and atole on the weekend. The atole was spoiled, don't recommend

First time trying it out. I happened to be in the area and the place was recommended by a family member. I really wasn't impressed. The Jamaica was great but this is a bakery. So we tried some goods - pretty small selection. Overall decent but the champurradas seemed a bit over baked. They had a char-like taste. The other baked goods were decent but I certainly wouldn't take the drive to get their baked goods again. I might come by to try their soup - that seemed to be a more popular item. But I'm in no rush to make the drive anytime soon. Overall the staff seemed rather meh. There were 5 ladies working and it took close to 10 minutes before I got any help. read more

This has been my go to restaurant whenever I need an authentic Guatemalan Pick me up. I've been going here for over 10 years, the food and flavor have not disappointed at all. I always get their tortilla with chorizo and beans but my dad has ordered the garnachas and other family members have ordered chow mein and caldos and everyone has been satisfied each and every time! So far I can say I will always recommend this place to anyone and everyone is SO DELICIOUS and worth it! Service can be a hit or miss and ambiance, well they always have music lol that's a plus. read more

Came this morning after the gym lol was able to try pollo con crema, bistec encebollado and the pupusa with cheese and chicharron. We liked the food, very fresh and tasted homemade. Pupusa was a little salty but still good. Prices are a little up there but understandably so since you can taste the quality of the food. Green juice was ok, very foamy . Orange juice was great . Be aware of the wait because the cook your food on the spot. PS : the young girl at the counter can improve on customer service skills, she looks annoyed while taking orders. read more

Channy's Comidas Guatemaltecas - a variety of food items - Latin American Near Me - Hawthorne, California

This review is based on my experience. I hope you have a better one. I decided to give this joint a try because I always want to support small Latin American restaurants. Its a small place but has a few tables available for dining. I ordered one of their steak lunch plates which is served with rice, beans, and handmade tortillas. Unfortunately, this one plate took over 25 minutes and I had to wait a couple more minutes for the three tortillas it came with. This lunch item cost over $20 with tax. It was a flavorful meal but for that price I expected more. The side servings were somewhat small. Perhaps an extra tortilla would compensate for the small servings. I really wanted to like this place and I do hope they continue to flourish. But, in my opinion, this meal did not justify the price. read more

Be aware of the high prices for for el pan dulce, $1 each and $1.50 for quesadillas. Panamericana bakery 5 minutes drive from there have better quality and more affordable. read more

We originally came for the pupusas next door, but after seeing the wall of pan, we re-entered to grab some of that for dessert. It was better than expected, much more moist and tender and flavorful. There is a good variety of pan to choose from and worth stopping by for. read more

legit guatemalan food. when we walked in the guy working the cash register even expressly said "we only serve Guatemalan food!" thankfully that is exactly what we were looking for! i happen to love Guatemalan food! stuff tried: chicken tamales: loved that they do it in true Guatemalan style with a lighter and fluffier masa than Mexican style tamales! so delicious! Revocaldo: (pork ears, tongue, cheek, liver curried stew). pretty hard core eats but a must try for the more adventurous eaters. fried plantains: served with a sour cream sauce and Guatemalan style refried black beans! it is so good! eat this! Caldo de Rez (beef soup) sooo nice and...beefy! bone marrow broth is made with lots of time and love! meat is very tender! perfect winter time meal guisado de rez:(beef stew) beef so tender you dont need a knife (or teeth for that matter) to eat! pollo en crema (chicken in creme sauce) very tasty and creamy! a little salty which i like chile rellenos: version is stuffed with meat and cheese. good but not the best thing on the menu lenguas pan: large oblong crispy sweet bread! perfect with coffee! the place is pretty bare bones but the food is authentic and top notch! my sister in law is from Guatemala and she loved it! it is in same block as the Courtyard and TowneSuites Marriot so if you are staying here highly recommend stopping by! read more

The food was very good. I had the breakfast,..2 fried eggs, sausage, beans, cream and cheese. The eggs were perfect. The refried beans were perfect with the perfect amount of seasoning to want to keep dipping your bread into. I will come again! read more

After El Cerro Verde closed we decided to give Channy's a try. Their pupusas are amazing!!! Honestly, I wish we would have discovered this place sooner and now it's our go-to pupusa place. The man that's usually at the register is super nice and welcoming. I wish this business success and hope they stay on this block. read more

Great people, good food, enjoyable! When I want pupusas, this is the place to go. Recommend!

You better brush up on your Spanish before coming here, because that's what you'll be speaking. I welcomed this, because I'm preparing for a trip to Nicaragua in August and my once AP-high-school level Spanish has devolved into my responding 'un poquito' when I am asked whether I speak. Here I was forced to speak more than a little. Yay! I didn't recognize half the fruit on the juice list and our nice waiter was happy to make me a combination of the nance and the jocote, after clarifying that one was a red fruit and the other was a yellow fruit. Or at least that's all I understood. The flavor was somewhat familiar - I think the Salvadorean food tent at the Long Beach Farmers Market has similar ingredients in his mixed fruit juice. I also ordered the revolcado, which was described on the menu as Guatemalan pork stew. I did not know it was pig head and entrails until I went home later and looked up a recipe. Now, let me preface what I am about to say by clarifying that I have eaten a lot of 'weird' meats and animal parts. I have also eaten dog - one or two bites of it - in Indonesia. My first impression of this revolcado was that it tasted like dog meat. I'm not saying it WAS dog meat, at all - I'm saying it tasted like it. Dog meat tends to taste extremely gamy, and so do certain organs... of any animal. But that's the memory that popped into my head when I took my first bite of the stew. In this pig's head there were recognizable cheeks (fatty strips, kind of like unfried chicharrones - these are the only thing I positively identified as face parts before seeing the recipe). There were other pieces that were almost custardy, like liver pate, and some that were really chewy, like tripe. I found the whole thing interesting on the teeth but ultimately too one-note. The dominant flavor was gamy, and any spices in the curry got pushed to the side. The muddy beans, so watery they fell through my fork, were nonetheless great, as was the rice. I would like to come back and try the other things on the menu, especially the garnachas and various breakfast combos. I'll never say no to a good Central American breakfast. read more

Decided to give this place a try today after discovering it last night while getting food next door. My hopes were pretty high having visited the country of Guatemala and experiencing their authentic food. Not to mention being married to a "Chapina" she to was hoping to find a local spot with food to remind her of home made family cooking. WELL, we were not disappointed!! We ordered both pork and chicken tamales and they were unbelievably scrumptious and had a very authentic taste and size. In addition we had a large side of black beans and bread that was as authentic and as tasty as I have ever had in a restaurant. The absolute best part if the whole experience was the friendly staff and extremely fast service!! That is lacking next door !! I just found my new favorite spot!! They also carry a large selection of sweet breads and desserts that I cannot wait to try!! read more

I am currently right here seated very disappointed with thier service food is alright but not good enough save yourself and dont come !

First and last time I'll be here!!!! Food is horrible nearly 60$ and definitely not worth it. I could've gone somewhere else and spent that money. Chowmein is horrible chicken tasted disgusting and the bananas we like seriously more than over cooked BURNED!!! This place deserves lesss the one star!!!! read more

Food was okay although they are not making the tamale right how Guatemala actually make them, but their attention is HORRIBLE this guy who seems on his age 50 kept giving this unwelcome face! It got me so irritated. It felt like we were obligated to buy him food. It made me want to go off on him with his NASTY attitude, but i will not lower myself down. I've always said treat people just the way how you would like to be treated. This made me not to ever go back here again. I'd rather go back to PAN VICTORIA they have better attention. I've had my mother visit here before and she has always complained that they are ""CHRISTIAN!?" SURE!!!! like i said people don't waste your pretty time just to be receieved in a nasty way that old man did. I say fire him and hire a good worker and i'll go bacl there! read more

I just moved out here three years ago and I missed the original guatemalan flavor so when I tried the food from Channy's restaurant definitely felt like back home. We tried the Pepian de gallina and wouww the hen was just perfectly cooked, with flavor of the pepian was very traditional and just amazingly accompanied with the hand make tortillas. The black beens were just delicious, maybe a little bit salted. I also tried the Revolcado! just PERFECT! The chile relleno was soooooo good too :) and the refrescos or aguas frescas were amazing too. The bread looked so amazing so I'm definitely coming back to try that. (Try the Chocopinas too!) read more

Accidentally ran into this place and I'm so glad I did! Garnachas, garnachas, garnachas...yum. I no longer have to beg my uncle to make them when he visits. My new favorite place :) read more

Really delicious Pepian de Gallina (chicken in non-spicy gravy or sauce) and Caldo de Gallina (chicken soup). The owner also offered us a sample of homemade guacamole and two small cups of horchata and Jamaica drinks. Guatemalan Horchata is very different from Mexican Horchata where the Guatemalan one has thicker texture with maize kind of taste (not sure though). Jamaica is a hibiscus purple drink with a slight sweetness. The owner also showed us a sample of cream chicken dish which looked amazing! If you want to try non-spicy Latin American food that tastes refreshingly simple, I recommend this place. It is also a bakery and we must try the different kinds of bread next time. read more

Very good food. Nice little place to get some authentic Guatemalan food. The only reason I gave 4 stars is because they took a while to take our order. The garnachas are very good. read more

Found this place by accident. I was craving some tostadas and atol de elote and it was what I was craving for. The ladies taking care of things are very nice, I will definitely come back again and again. read more

I accidentally ate hear trying to find the place next door Lmao, I was too embarrassed to leave when I asked so I tried the food. the food is really amazing but the prices are a bit steep in my opinion. I'd recommend the tamales. They're about four bucks a piece which is outrageous to be honest but they are really good. not four dollars good but really good. better than your average tamale. anyway the food is really good the service is good, the people are really friendly, and hey they have bread. plates average to about 10 dollars which is again a bit steep but hey the food is really good. I'd eat here again. but I really wanted to try the food next door to be honest. really bad location for it. Salvadoran food beats Guatemalan food any day just saying. i wish them good luck. read more

The food is delicious but the prices are too high!!! 12.95 for a plate you can go and buy a buffet plate for that price

Great experience and food. However, I bought some bread and most of it was good. Unfortunately the one I was looking forward to the most was definitely old bread and had been sitting out too long had to throw the whole thing out read more
