Nestled in a community that fits just right in, yup in a Guatemalan community in Lake Worth! This restaurant will transport you to Guatemala, a huge mural with Antigua Guatemala images depicted in the back.... if you look closely on the mural even the national bird is depicted - the Quetzal. Even the national instrument of Guatemala is on display, the Marimba. The marimba is a type of xylophone with resonators underneath (with different sizes) and different sized wooden keys, the origins date back to 1680 when it was used for celebrations. And to this date it is still used! The food is authentic Guatemalan, with cooks from this country you can definitely taste it is real. Although the food did arrive to our table cold - room temperature, but the flavor was really good. From the Seafood Soup, Jocon, Pork Ribs and Cow Tongue everything tasted authentic. Service is very friendly, you're better off ordering in spanish rather than in english! They should open a location further south in FL!! read more

This is a Guatemalan restaurant; it was our first visit, and we really enjoyed the food. We ordered a traditional dish called "Pepián de Pollo"--it was absolutely delicious and the portion size and flavor were excellent. The dining area is spacious and features traditional décor, though the parking lot is tiny, accommodating only about six cars. The reason I cannot give a high rating is the payment system: when paying by card, there is no option to leave a tip. How is that possible? It is unacceptable that a server cannot receive a tip unless you pay in cash, simply because the system doesn't allow for tipping on card payments. I hope the owner takes this into consideration and makes changes, especially since we are in the U.S. read more

I love the food here, very authentic I love the ambiance and the music and the culture all around. Only reason why I gave it 4 stars was because of the portion. It wasn't much but it wasn't a little bit either. Service was good the server I had was super nice and attentive but I asked someone else for the check and they seemed bother that I asked them a question. Other than that the lack of parking is not great but there's street parking! read more

We stopped by here when we went to Lake Worth for their Street Painting Festival (which is highly recommended if you've never experienced it). It's actually a little out of the way but not more than a 10 min walk from the city hall. We won't have come if not for the recommendation of my cousin, who's from Guatemala. If she says it's authentic and good, it must be. Lacking point of reference for authenticity, I can only praise about how delicious and fresh everything is. The waitress didn't speak much English, but the menu is bilingual and the owner came and helped with our ordering. The Hen Stew was delicious, and the Costilla Adobada (marinated ribs) is tender and meaty, they definitely beat out most BBQ places in S Florida. The seafood soup has a whole crab in it, along with fish, squid, mussels, shrimp and more. Even the tortilla and black beans are well made. I also tried the nance juice for the first time. A little sweet and reminiscent of lychee and pineapple. The food was so delicious we almost decided to come back for dinner. read more

SERVICE: -warmly greeted -constantly checked on - recommendations made by our server Lily - when checking out, we were asked about our experience and further recommendations were made for next time - told us about upcoming events PRICE: -unbeatable prices - we had a table of food for under $100 FLAVOR: - authentic seasonings and preparation - food was served hot and fresh - condiments complimented the dishes - so delicious Overall: This is my new favorite! I highly recommend El Pueblo Capin read more

Long time ago we came here and it was very good food now not at all food had no taste everything tasted like it was old food re heat very bad so sad because the 1st time was good but i guess they changed , service was also strange read more

I've passed by this place 1 million times, but for some reason never visited. That's to come my friend suggested we go there and I figured "why not?". The restaurant is a lot bigger than it looks from the outside, beautifully decorated with a large mural on one of the walls. I started off with an atol de elote, which brought me back to Guatemala immediately. Atoles are like drinkable porridge, this one with whole pieces of corn kernels and whole cinnamon. I also enjoyed un jugo de Maracuyá (passionfruit juice). The main was pretty freaking awesome - a well-cooked steak (carne asada) with really thick tortillas, again just as I remember them from Guatemala. Our table also enjoyed maduros (sweet plantains) and tostadas. The prices were very reasonable and the staff was awesome. I will definitely be back soon. read more

I am amazed at how authentic and cultural this place is. The food is delicious, I've tried just about everything here and I am always satisfied. The typical Chapin (Guatemalan) breakfast with a coffee/cappuccino is delicious. This is a must try place for everyone interested in trying new foods or anyone trying to remember mom's Guatemalan cooking. Ps. The service was phenomenal, I was treated as if I was at my own home. Linda and Gladys were very nice and attentive. read more

The service was great. Friendly. The food was sickening. I ordered a tamale and nance juice. The tamal looked like vomit and i immediately lost appetite. It may have been soaking in hot water overnight. read more

I'm not gonna lie, I wasn't expecting much from this place. I simply stopped because my son wanted some rice and beans. Quite truly, I've never had Guatemalan food so I wasn't even sure if I could get rice and beans, but it seemed like the only possibility. Not only did they have it, but they had so much more. I asked for a grilled chicken breast for the little one, and it had some kind of sauce (I freaked out because I thought it was spicy) and it turned out to be something buttery that was amazing. They had rice and beans with it, and they asked if we needed tortillas, we didn't but the fact that they offered was really nice. I wasn't really hungry so I asked for a pork taco and a chicken one. I don't know which one was better, because they were both truly bombastic!! They also put a green sauce which seems very intimidating, but I decided to give it a go. At first I did with much trepidation, but once I tried a smidgen of it, I was hooked. I regretted not having said yes to those tortillas, because I would have drenched them with the green sauce ALONE!! The staff was very nice, and decor was surprisingly nice too. The only down side was they don't let you tip on your credit card, so I was super embarrassed when I couldn't add and didn't have cash. I will definitely be back, and hook the girl up!! read more

They weren't busy and still No one came by after 15 or so minutes we decided to go elsewhere. Basically poor service. read more

Serving up Guatemalan dishes, located in the Guatemalan neighborhood of Lake Worth, FL. Very clean Restaurant, nicely decorated with a festive atmosphere. Food is fresh and you get plenty of it.

Disgusting. I am concerned that other reviews were written by friends. We were really excited about having authentic Guatemalan food. We tried several dishes and nothing was even good. Quesadilla's were dry and came with cold french fries, odd. The Tamales were filled with port bones, fat, no meat and flavorless. The other dishes were not cooked and inedible. There is no liquor license only beer. They do serve overly sugary daiquiris with Corona beer (The only one they have). They don't seem to care about service or providing a good meal. The bill was interesting. They listed the items we had and produced an insane total, not related to there prices. We tried to politely comment about our meal and the bill. They ignored us totally. We paid and tipped well because we have worked in restaurants for years. However, this did not sit well with me, that is why I am writing this review. I would not waist your time or money not this restaurant unless they start caring about the quality of food and service. read more

As a Guatemalan-American, I can definitely say that the food served here is authentic and presented in the typical Guatemalan fashion. I recommend first-timers to order the chicken enchiladas. They're delicious. The place has no menus, so be sure to ask the waiter what they offer and any additional questions you may have. They're open early Monday through Friday from 5AM-9PM and it's a neat little place to grab breakfast, lunch, or dinner. There's no reason not to try! read more

I've finally found the real deal! Truly Authentic Guatemalan food!!! Perfectly seasoned and tasty. The Tamales were delicious, the carne adobada was perfect. Went there during Covid-19 when only takeout was available and really appreciated that they required any customers entering to wear a face mask. All employees had on face masks and gloves. Everything was clean and sanitized. Gave me peace of mind and will definitely be returning soon. Well worth the hour drive. read more
