Marimbas Guatemalan Bakery & Restaurant

First of all, when you enter the restaurant you are greeted with a beautiful atmosphere. They really outdid themselves with the decorations and vibes!! It felt like I was in Guatemala. The food is so delicious and reminds me of home cooked Guatemalan meals. The service is impeccable! Everyone has a smile on their face as they serve their yummy food. Lastly, the restaurant feels and is super clean!

Home away from home. This food is cooked and tastes just like if you were in Guatemala. Amazing food, excellent service (just like in Guatemala) and great vibes. Would have this every day if I could.

Absolutely amazing experience! The people here were extremely friendly, and the service was unbelievably fast. The food was delicious, but the arroz con leche! Hands down, the most delicious thing I’ve ever had in my life. I’ll be coming back just for that. Highly recommend this spot!

We had lunch on a weekday and really enjoyed it. It was quite when we got there at noon, but filled up later. The restaurant has so much personality with framed family photos on the wall, colorful kites and plants. The food was so good! We got several small plates, which I recommend so you can try as many dishes as possible. They also had some interesting drinks (atol). I’d come back with a larger group to share more items. There were so many other things on the menu to try. They also had samples of pan and cookies, which were such a sweet treat. You can pick some up for breakfast the next day to enjoy with café de olla. It’s a family-owned business with so much personality and they’re happy to share pieces of their culture with you.

I was thoroughly impressed by the authentic Guatemalan flavors and warm, friendly service. Desayuno Mama Tencha was extremely good! The Arroz con Leche was a standout, creamy and perfectly sweet!The staff was attentive and genuinely enthusiastic about sharing their culture through food, adding to the overall delightful experience.

First of all, their breads are delicious and reminded me of Central America (Costa Rica) – the bread is quite similar. I had their Cafe de Olla and was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the coffee and its taste. I wasn’t expecting it to be sweetened, but it wasn’t too sweet, so I’d definitely recommend it. The food was full of flavor and came in generous portions. We will definitely be back to try their breakfast. We had Chuchitos, tamales, dobladas, and rellenitos. Riquísimo!

Great new addition to the North Austin dining scene. We thoroughly enjoyed the Doblada, Tamal, Caldo, and Atol. The food is fresh and served fast. This a family-run establishment and will be one of our go-tos in the area.

I loved the food it is the sweetest food, and the service is great. The people are so kind, and I love all the plants. (Written by my 9 year old)
