The cheese didnt melt in a deep fried chili. Pouring a warm sauce over something out of the fridge doesnt heat it up. Heres the gotcha cook you premade the food portioned in the fridge so all you have to do is sauce and serve. Ive been around food service long enough to know the games. You precook so you dont have to make it at night. Which leads to oh we didnt sell as many so we have it made for tomorrow. Thats pure lazy, your customers pay for fresh to order, left overs are for home. Your a discrase to real cooks.

Don't expect an Americanized version of Guatemalan food, this is authentic. Well I have not been to Guatemala, I've spent time in Central America in neighboring Belize. This food rivals anything I had there. We did have to request refills on drinks and our check. But we knew what to expect this time. Don't go and expect to have a waitress hovering over your table. Just let them know when you need something. The food is well worth the weight.

As a personal preference (and as a bit of a wing connoisseur), I'd give the wings 3 stars. They were well cooked, but I'm just not a fan of breaded wings, so they weren't quite my style.

The food came out hot, fresh, and quick. My husband got the skirt steak quesadillas and I got the veggie fajitas.

*Updated Review* January 6, 2025…read more We were invited back by the owner to experience the exciting changes made to the restaurant, and I am happy to say it was a complete turnaround from my previous visit. It is clear that these updates have made a big difference. Starting with the exterior, the restaurant now boasts a fresh coat of paint and a new entry arch, giving it a clean and welcoming look. Inside, they have removed the buffet to add more tables, creating a more spacious and modern feel. There is also a new bar area where guests can enjoy drinks while watching games on the TVs. The tabletops have been updated, and the décor beautifully complements the murals, creating a cohesive and inviting atmosphere. One standout addition is their bakery, which offers fresh-baked goods made on-site. The updated menu is visually appealing, and the food quality is top-notch, making for an exceptional dining experience. For the table, we enjoyed the Bandeja Antigua--a platter with 1 chuchito, 1 tamal, 1 tostada with guacamole, 1 tostada with beans , 1 tostada with tomato sauce, 2 plantain rellenitos, 2 crispy chicken tacos , 2 chicken empanadas, and Chapin-style enchiladas. My husband and neighbor tried their Charro Beans and fell in love with the flavor. I tried their special ceviche--fish , octopus , shrimp , red onions , tomatoes , cilantro, and cucumber. It came in a beautiful boat-shaped bowl and was definitely flavorful. It was topped with sliced avocado . My husband had the Burrito California--rice , beans , grilled chicken , onion , tomato , and bell peppers topped with melted cheese . He definitely didn't complain. Something to note, though, is that if you order a burrito "a la Antigua," it includes rice, beans, lettuce, onion, cilantro, cream, and cheese inside the nurrito, not on the plate. My other neighbor ordered the Burrito Cheese Steak- Grilled steak, fried onions, inside the burrito, served with rice, beans, and cream salad, topped with melted cheese. Their vision remains centered on their team--motivated, dedicated individuals committed to providing excellent service to every guest. They genuinely value the community that supports them and strive to create meaningful connections. With a focus on sustainability, efficiency, and constant innovation, their mission is to bring people together and make every visit memorable and enjoyable. To further show their appreciation for the community, they offer a 50% discount to active military personnel, police officers, and firefighters, as well as a 10% discount for veterans. It's heartwarming to see their dedication not only to great service but also to giving back. We honestly had no complaints about the quality of the food or service; it was well worth the price, and the amazing tastes were a definite plus!!

Was not expecting to pull up to an old Taco Bell storefront converted into this restaurant. Just heads up - inside still looks like an old Taco Bell too!!!! The service is outstanding. Our waitress was so sweet and informative. She had a smile on her face the whole time she helped us and gave honest opinions of what menu items we would like. Prices are great and the portion sizes are huge! Their menu has some traditional items you'd find on a Mexican menu but don't expect to get those run-of-the-mill options like the Speedy Gonzales special or a generic taco salad. They have their menu labeled with "fake Mexican food" to outline things you can get elsewhere. I was so excited to see shrimp stuffed avocado on the menu and it was divine! So much food and so much flavor. Margaritas were also delicious. Parking is easy and you have to let the aesthetics go. This place is worth visiting and i can't wait to go back and try some more items.

My only qualm is, during dinner service, the overhead lighting is turned off and small lamps are placed on the tables. My old eyes find it hard to see the menu. I used my phones flashlight.

My husband asked for a shredded beef burrito and a hard taco meat and cheese only. His entire order was wrong. My food was good it's just very disappointing because we have come here many times and the normal server we get is amazing. The woman who sat us is the one who took care of us, it was awful... she had to be asked to bring the dessert that comes with the check, when she just took it to other tables. The ambience is the same as always, the only thing that changed is the super shitty service. P.S don't drink the water it tastes gross.
