"It’s disappointing, particularly in wintertime, that Claudia’s stews, an integral category of Guatemalan cuisine, are sadly bland and thin, lacking in heart and in flavor. Luckily, there’s another Guatemalan restaurant in Brooklyn that more than fills this gap: Ix, which opened in 2016, in Prospect-Lefferts Gardens. You could warm yourself up here without even setting foot through the door, by ordering a cup of sweet spiced cacao, or cocoa, from a takeout window that opens onto the street. But true nourishment awaits inside, in steaming bowls born of ancient Mayan recipes." - Hannah Goldfield
