We live in North Raleigh, so it's about a 25-minute drive to Wake Forest. The upside is that once…read moreyou're there, shopping and dining are all close together--making it a convenient outing. After running errands, we drove just six minutes to El Chapin, a Guatemalan restaurant. Forget Tex-Mex--this is a completely different Latin cuisine experience. The two of us spent $76 (including tax and tip), but we intentionally ordered extra to take home leftovers. Parking was easy, right out front, and the restaurant itself is spacious. Since we arrived just a few minutes after opening, we had the place to ourselves at first and were seated immediately. Service was prompt and very helpful--the server even suggested we might have ordered too much food (he was right, but we didn't mind!). Here's what we tried: Plato Chorizo y Longaniza - a sausage platter with salad, rice, refried black beans, and two delicious housemade corn tortillas. Pollo Adobado - marinated chicken with rice, salad, refried black beans and two housemade corn tortillas . Ceviche de Camarón - fresh and tangy, though light on shrimp, which tasted a bit tough Fried Plantains - perfectly done, sweet, and satisfying. Plus, I had an unsweetened iced tea with lemon. The highlights for me were the flavorful rice (with vegetables mixed in, including carrots and squash), the marinated chicken, and the sausages. The plantains were also excellent. The ceviche had great flavor but could've used more shrimp. The only miss for me was the salad--generous in portion but iceberg-based, so a bit bland. Overall, the food was fresh, flavorful, not heavy or greasy, and we left with enough for another one or two meals. We'll definitely be back.

The menu is small but the flavors are mighty. As someone who used to love big expansive menus with endless amounts of choices, I've come to learn that it's the restaurants that specialize in certain dishes with smaller menus are the places that don't disappoint. I ordered two chorizo tacos and a ground meat taco. The food was made rather quickly (they said 10 minutes but it was less than that). It came with delicious spicy verde sauce and a lime. Oh my gosh!!! This food truck is a new favorite!! Growing up is SoCal, I've missed the Mexican food there. This is it, guys! You want the real deal? Go to Mami Nano's! The tortillas are homemade and the combination of flavors is just...ugh, SO GOOD! 10/10 will definitely go again.
