Like always, 10/10 this spot is a must every time I'm back home. If you're looking for authentic Guatemalan cuisine, you'll definitely find it here in the heart of LA. The service is always quick, and there are plenty of delicious options to choose from. Everything tastes homemade and full of flavor. Ambiance? You're in the hood, so it's a whole vibe loud music from the bodega next door, street vendors outside selling extras you won't find on the menu like garnachas, curiles, atoles, rellenos, and more. It's lively, busy, and very much a true LA street experience so expect all kinds of interactions. Parking can be a hassle (but let's be real, when is it not in LA?), it's 100% worth it. Great prices, generous portions, and food that satisfies every single time. read more

This place has great food! Friendly staff and good customer service! We drive from far to come to this place!

This place gets busy but they have a lot of ladies working that are constantly moving the line. I ordered tamales and it's my first time having Guatemalan tamales. The masa was soft and tasty. Only issue was they placed a ball of meat at the end and the rest of the tamale only had the sauce and a few veggies. The tamale was not spicy, seems to be cooked in tomato sauce. read more

Food is delicious, their sandwiches are amazing, great service! Great friendly atmosphere, the best place to have breakfast or lunch!

Absolutely love this place wow! My girlfriend is Guatemalan and I figured I would try this place out to get a taste of some culture and I was not disappointed! The quality of their breads were delicious!! Not to mention how great the carne guisada I had was. The service was very fast considering it was 6 am when I went. I enjoyed the music in there as well it was very uplifting and comforting. I would recommend everyone who is in the area to come eat here! read more

Comida Chapina mas autentica en Los Angeles! Me encanta ir porque no importa que tiempo de día sea, ellos ofrecen desayuno, lunch y almuerzo todo el dia. Y aparte de comida también tienen una panadería y tienda donde pueden encontrar sus antojos favoritos. read more

Delicious food! Order ahead and pick up. Their tacos are super good. The prices are great as well.

I went to buy tamales some very delicious tamales at the Beverly location on 12/24/25 but two of my tamales had hair in them, please be more careful. read more

I visited this bakery with my friend and it was such a chill experience. It's in an inconspicuous spot on Beverly Blvd but once you see it, it's hard to miss. Parking is plenty on the street across from it. Just make sure to check the times for street sweeping. Once inside, they have a little market area on the left where you can purchase snacks and drinks, in the front left is their bakery items and the right is where the food buffet is where you can order combo plates. My friend and I ordered the Rellenitos-mashed plantains stuffed with sweet black beans (make sure to ask for Crema! Sour cream!), Pache-potato tamales with pork, pupusa with pork and cheese, a Concha, and 1 Atol De Elote. The Rellenitos were so yummy! They were fried to perfection with plenty of sweet black beans inside. Adding the sour cream with it added a savory kick which I really enjoyed. Pache-I have never had a potato tamales before so this was a new experience. The texture is very interesting. It kind of reminds me of silken tofu with a grit to it if that makes sense. Smooth but with a bite. The tomato sauce on top was the perfect balance of sweet and sour and I really enjoyed that it wasn't salty at all. It had a good amount of meat inside as well. Pupusa with pork and cheese-this was my favorite! It came with this red sauce and pickled cabbage of sorts and it was the most delicious together! The flavor of the sauce balanced out the cheese and pork and the cabbage added a lovely texture. Concha-sorry for no picture but it was very good. It's smaller than the Mexican concha's that I grew up eating. The bread was not as sweet which I liked and I enjoyed the texture. While chewy, it had a fluffiness to it. Atol De Elote-this drink was at the perfect temperature to enjoy. It had chunks of corn in it as well. The taste reminds me of a corn porridge but less sweet. It's more of dessert drink for me! read more

I came to buy some food and the lady helping me was giving me an attitude, so rude. Customer service needs to be improved drastically.

Being from Guatemala, the bakery has been my go to place for Guatemalan products and food without anything negative to say except for today. Not having enough time to make my own, I opted in buying Fiambre and was extremely disappointed. Not only was it overly priced at $35. per container (serving 4-5 people), had less than a handful cold cuts displayed on top of nothing but curtido which had zero flavor, no vinegar, salt BUT for some reason had sugar. Needless to say....I will never buy this yearly traditional plate from the bakery. Should've listened to everyone when I was told NOT to buy from them. I'll stick to the chocobananos! Take my advice.....make your own! read more

Not the friendliest but the food is good. Beans on point. Chicharron and tamales are really good. Bread is also good to have on the side of your tamale and black beans. Good food definitely recommend this place. The ladies are quick in here so be ready for what you want. read more

The lady in the front was very nice. No issues with them at all. I liked how the place was decorated very nice. Only downside it is very hard to find parking and I had to walk a little to the store and it was meter parking. Besides that I loved the food and I will be coming back! read more

Bizarre experience. I came her with family and while I was the one ordering this woman names Jaqueline for the life of me would not look at me instead she redirected the conversation to my husband every time. Mind you I was speaking Spanish so it was in no way shape or form was there a language barrier. I won't be back. The food isn't that great either. There are better options for Guatemalan food in my opinion. Go somewhere else. read more

THE BEST GUATEMALAN FOOD! Authentic recipes and great prices, this is a favorite for my family and I for any time of the day. Extensive breakfast options and a large variety of Guatemalan cuisine for lunch and dinner! The tamales and champurradas are also the best in town, can't be beat!! read more

Love the champurradas. I drove all the way from Bakersfield just to pickup some bread. Also the concha looking ones are my favorite. Service is always great and try to get to everyone in a timely manner. read more

Not bad for a fast typical bakery as the woman behind the counter just smile and are so pleasant. The spot is nice and let's start with the food: I had the typical breakfast of eggs, beans and crema. I am not a fan of the big dollop of cream that is typical to Guatemala, but when in Rome. It wasn't bad at all, and the fact that they hand make their tortillas is perfection. You can't complain when this is here. The food is very typical of Guatemala and I was I pressed with the knowledge these women have. Perfect when you are in the mood for food and the bakery section is on point. The galletas cookies, are on point as they make these every little whole here. I've had them in Guatemala and can vouch for the authenticity. One of the ladies said that she goes back to her country every year but the pandemic stopped that. But she still mainstays the integrity of their food. She was right! read more

Really good food and fair prices, variety of Guatemalan bread. Service was good and fast. Went on a Sunday morning and there was enough seating for a family of 7. read more

Good food. Woman are rude in the AM if you are not a man they're they have a rest b*** face... not patient at all. Woman also gossip while attending costumers very unprofessional. Restaurant experience 3/10 definitely can improve!! read more

They'll overcharge you, add extra charges, and adamently fake not understanding you just to make you feel unwelcome. Me: can I get a large coffee? Staff: do you want sugar? Me: yes please and milk. Staff: oh no milk? Me: no, sugar and milk. Staff: so no milk? Me: (pulls down my mask so it's easier for her) sugar and milk please. Staff: oh OK.. Smaaall? Me:.. Large. Staff: oh so small? Me:... Large. (she brings the coffee) Staff: do you want sugar? Me:... Yes... And milk. Staff: huh?? Me: milk, is there milk? Staff: whaaat? Smaaall? Oh you wanted small? Me: (pulls down my mask again) is there milk? Staff: Sugar..? Me: LECHE?!?! Staff: Oh oh yes I put the milk in there already. Do you need sugar? Me: yes... Milk and sugar. Staff: oh sugars over there (points to counter with sugar section by the door that only contained sweet and low)... So her English was perfectly fine. She just refused to provide logical service do a non-spanish speaker. Maybe bc I'm Asian. Don't bother supporting local businesses that clearly don't want the business. They rather use it as an opportunity to be rude, petty, and bully non-hispanics who wanted to support them. They don't want or need our business so don't waste your time and money. read more

I grew up in this area. Their bread used to be top notch. But the past 3 months, the bread is bad and the service is even worst. Just last week there was a roach in their boliyo (french bread) the girl just moved the bread around and it was on the wall and she said. "See there is nothing." Then today I bought a piece of cake and it tasted rotten. Like WTF. Now their bread is super expensive. You cant even get good quality any more from this store. Then after all this the girl says "well it is yours now. You paid it is yours." ADVISE LOOK FOR A BETTER BAKERY STORE. read more

Chapina reviewing so I'm automatically biased since this is traditional Guatemalan food I love. Had the Breakfast combo of 2 eggs with black beans and crema (Latin sour cream) which comes with a bollio (bread) or tortilla. Food was fresh and served quickly this is also a Central American market so there's only 9 tables for dining we walked in ordered ate and shopped. We'll be back. read more

Great bread. I used to come here since I was young and it brings back memories. I'm glad everything looks the same. Their bread is delicious and their food is also good. They have and inside table seating so you can grab food. It's not just a bakery. My dad always comes here for the bread and their Fanta sodas. Their prices are fair. And the bread is not burnt. I've been to other bakeries like this and their bread is sometimes burn and it ruins it. I would recommend this bakery for your daily bread. The only thing that's inconvenient it's their parking. There's never parking in the front and you don't want to risk getting a ticket. You have to find street parking so beware read more

I pass this place on my commute and finally stopped by. Now the name says bakery, but the baked goods didn't look that appetizing - I probably need a recommendation. There was lots of bread-y goods and then some fruit cakes with processed cream, like something in Ralph's. However, I was looking for dinner and watched the other customers or the combo stews. Choose from chicken, beef, tripe. It comes with rice (a bit like fried rice) and black beans. I switched one plate for plantains instead of rice. I think you can do that with the chow mein too. The stews were tasty, if a bit light on the serving, but it was under $8 a plate. The jamica drink tastes like sugary water, certainly not the best place to get this. My server some only Spanish, but others speak English as do other customers of you need help. read more

As soon as I left the joint I get a text from my tiny Latina lover telling me a sweet story how when she was tiny, yes tinier than she already is, that her parents used to take her to this bakery. That story shared warmed my heart. Breads, to die for Horchata, gulped that bad boy down Tamal, be still my heart I left full and took a siesta at le Spanish Villa dreaming of a return visit with my Latina love. read more

I've been coming here for years, I walked in this morning and the customer service was the worst. So rude with attitude. Every time I tried to order the lady kept interrupting me and just gossiping with her coworkers. Food was not to part, I had three breakfast dishes that come with beans cream and eggs and spent $72 very overpriced. I also ordered an horchata that tasted like pure sugar with water. Very disappointing most definitely not coming back. read more

Guatemalan goodies galore! My husband is Guatemalan so every once in a while he craves homemade Guatemalan food. I try to make some for him but it just doesn't taste the same so he goes to this bakery to stock up on refried black beans, tamales, chuchitos (small guatemalan tamal), sweet bread, imported chips, cookies and even sodas. The food is delicious and it is very affordable. It's very authentic and feels homemade. My favorite thing to buy are rellenitos, mashed plantains filled with black beans that are deep fried and sprinkled with sugar. It sounds weird but they actually taste delicious. Reminds me of the asian red bean desserts. They also have atoles, these are creamy hot drinks thickened with flour and sweetened to perfection. They have a fava bean one and a corn one which is my absolute favorite. If you're into ethnic cuisine, Guatemalan food is interesting. It is similar to Mexican food with an earthier flavor and it is also a bit heavier. Good to try every now and then. Not good if you're trying to loose weight. Check it out, two people can feast with $15.00 so that's always a plus. read more

Been coming to this place since I was kid. A family favorite. But tbh the last few times we recently went, the tamales and the beans were BAD sour and expired I'm guessing. It's the last time Were coming to this place. Yes I've gone to the Santa Monica location and it's the same quality. Besides the tamales and beans being bad and sour the cashiers have horrible attitude. I forgot to Mention when you touch money don't grab any sort of food you cashiers/waitresses... wash you damn hands sickos..... peace and love and all this is for the improvement of the bakery... read more
