Saberico Delicatessen

This was a true hidden gem in Antigua and one of our favourite restaurants. We went here for lunch and we were not disappointed! The restaurant is quite large with multiple indoor gardens, most of it in the shade. We had a cosy table between all the plants. The staff was very friendly and quick. They have mostly typical dishes, we really enjoyed the tostadas. Everything was made fresh. The prices were very reasonable. We enjoyed it here and would certainly recommend this spot!

We had the pepian and it was delicious! All the tables feel like they are in their own private garden, and it was very lush and beautiful.

I had the tortilla soup that was vegan and it was absolutely delicious. Highly recommend as it is a local traditional food. And then I had the postre with yogurt, piña (I think) and Mac nuts and it was delicious!

Great spot for lunch! The atmosphere in the garden is amazing. Little nooks for each table offer privacy. The food is good and they have some traditional options. We had the Subanik and garnachas.

I had the Causa Guatemalteca with Pepián sauce and that was absolutely delicious! Juices were also excellent and the atmosphere was great. Highly recommended!

Saberico has long been a lunchtime favorite for my friends and I️. My first time here was a few years ago with a group of 12, and I️ was hooked! You walk into what looks like it will be a bakery or some type of deli, just to walk back through a still narrow section and you see a small garden area. That small garden area opens to two larger sections and you are perched between the plants in a garden heaven. Unfortunately for us, it seems like the restaurant is going through some changes. They have always had maracas at the tables so you could shake them to get the attention of your server. This go around, the string was still connected to the table but there were no maracas connected to the end. This made it either a disturbance to have to go find out server or we had to wait longer than we should have to ask a question. The food was still delicious, I️ ordered a burger for my first time and enjoyed it. The types of bread with the salads have changed but my friends said they still enjoyed them, even with a bit of a different feel. I️ would highly recommend and if their fruit smoothies with ginger, or the other pairings they offer. Another thing that was very strange this time around were the menus. They used to have a beautiful laminated and bound menu that was in English and Spanish, this time we were handed printed pages that were dirty, only in Spanish, and thrown onto a clipboard. I️ truly hope they are in transition to a new, and improved menu.

Amazing food and a good variety of options. Enjoyed our meal, high-quality ingredients prepared with care and wonderful attention. Enchiladas and pepian are pictured below. Wasn't expecting a tostada with so much cabbage/beet, but I was not disappointed.

Food was very tasty and the setting is amazing. We sat next to birds surrounded by plants. Service was very kind but somewhat slow, and prices were a bit high but fair. We arrived at 11:30 but they wouldn’t let us order from the breakfast/brunch menu which closes at 12. They had high chairs for our niños, which was great for us.
