Dining in felt like I had transported to a restaurant in Colombia, so the ambiance really felt authentic. I sometimes crave yucca frita and plantains, and I believe I found the place for my quick cravings. The portion sizes of the meals will not leave you hungry! I was also able to ask for no sugar in my fresh fruit drink. The restaurant also has a bakery, which includes a variety of individual desserts or cakes for purchase. Outstanding server with quick service as well.

El Quetzal is a family-owned Guatemalan bakery and restaurant. The building is separated into the…read morerestaurant side and then there's the bakery side. Parking is one way, but plenty of parking available. The restaurant side has plenty of spacious seating. You place your order at the register and they give you a number to place at your table. They deliver your food to you. They have a good variety of their aguas frescas. I do recommend the melon and horchata. Recommend trying their tamale - the chuchito con salsa y queso. I also enjoyed their beef garnachos and the camarones. Their chaomein is not exactly the chaomein you'd expect from a Chinese restaurant, but I guess you could say it's their take on it. The bakery side is definitely like a little convenience store - carrying bottled sodas, clothes, and other snacks. Their breads and pastries are baked fresh daily at 5am. If you visit during the holidays, there are special treats specific for that holiday. (I was told there will be a special bread for Easter.) Highly recommend taking home a slice of their tres leches or tres leches in a cup. Not extremely sweet as other places make them, and I like it that way. Unfortunately, if you don't know Spanish or if you're not familiar with the Guatemalan culture, you'll most likely feel lost. I wished there were descriptions of what all the breads and pastries were. The employees are really nice and friendly, however there might be a language barrier if you can't speak Spanish.

I picked up a customer of mine and he said let's go to a small South American place just down the street. From the outside, didn't look like much. From the inside, much bigger and certainly a South American flair. World Cup is going on so all the TVs had that on. Tons of wines sitting out , mostly Malbecs, my fav. Just a great vibe. But on to the main course. We both had the steak picanha. Med Rare. On my. Good Lord. This was awesome. I generally don't eat steaks out as they are overpriced and not cooked to my liking. The chef did an awesome job. Med Rare - spot on. Perfecto. I've been to Argentina many times in business and eaten many great steaks, this can be included in that. I know, I know...people swear by Pappa's Steak or Taste of Texas, but this small, unassuming place tops them all. And a fantastic SA wine list. Please give them a try. Will not be disappointed.

The lunch menu came with a choice of either soup or salad, which I got the lentil soup. The soup was thick and hearty. It was very good. My steak was cooked perfectly and well-seasoned. The sides were well-seasoned too. The size of the steak, to me, was sufficient and considered big for a lunch menu. I had a triple chocolate tres leches after my steak. It was the perfect ending. I received warm and excellent service throughout my lunch. The restaurant is big and suitable for all party sizes. There is plenty of free parking in front of the restaurant, so that is a plus point.

The meat was no where to be found. The papa de Criolla were crispy on the outside and soft in the middle which was good, however, they were not seasoned. The papa's were so bland with it the sauce it was served with. The staff brought the food to the table without plates to serve ourselves.

So far, I've tried: Pan de Bono - deliciously cheesy Bunuelos - more subtle cheese flavor, but my Cali friend says they're really authentic. Lechona - holy mother of all that is tasty! This stuff is legit! Lechona is roasted suckling pig that is stuffed and spiced with all kinds of goodness. They serve it here every other Saturday (except during the holiday season). Get it! It's delish. Huevos Perricos Breakfast - super duper filling breakfast. Eggs scrambled with tomato and green onion have a great flavor. And the Plantains were fried to crispy perfection. And like every Colombian would expect, you get a side of rice, too, which works nicely with the huevos. Empanadas - I tried a sweet one filled with Guayaba paste and cheese. Suuuper good, try it! And last, but certainly not least, the Pony Malta - this is the only place I've ever seen carry this soda. I don't typically drink soda, but for this I'd change up my rules. It's delicious, and if you ever see it anywhere, try it! The lady who runs the place is from Bogota and knows her way around the kitchen. I can't wait to get back here.
