This restaurant is beautifully decorated! I was really impressed by the lovely portraits and the colorful Guatemalan barriletes (kites).
The setup is pretty casual -- menu flyers are by the entrance, and you order and pay at the counter. They use disposable tableware, and the trash bin is also near the entrance, so it's a self-serve kind of experience.
The food is great! I tried quite a few dishes--chile relleno (stuffed pepper), pepian (chicken in pumpkin seed sauce), patitas de puerco envueltas (pork feet), dobladas (potato and chicken with pickled cabbage), Guatemalan taquitos, tostadas, and enchiladas. Everything was delicious!
Some of the dishes were a bit on the starchy side, so the second time I went, I tried to order with a bit more balance. Their enchiladas are different from the Mexican style I'm used to--they're made with ground beef and cooked red cabbage, topped with half a boiled egg and shredded cheese, all served on a fried tortilla with a piece of lettuce underneath. The pork feet dish also came covered with a fried egg. The first time, I didn't notice any wheat flour in the egg, but on my second visit, the texture seemed crunchier, so it might have had some added flour. If you're sensitive to gluten, it's worth checking with your server just to be safe.
We also tried their horchata and atol de elote (a sweet rice-corn drink). Both were very good, though a little on the sweeter side, so we ended up sharing to keep the sugar in check.
Service was great--there was at least one bilingual server who spoke both English and Spanish, which made things really easy.
