“Man I have missed this food! Found this restaurant thru Google, so glad I did, salsa was perfect, the empandas were amazing, and the cuban! I have leftovers for days and it was only $25 bill!! I will be back often!!”
“I’m visiting Cleveland for a family event and was thrilled to discover a Guatemalan restaurant! I immediately wanted to try it out. The presentation of the food was fantastic, but the taste was lacking. I ordered the Parrillada Guatemalteca, which includes grilled skirt steak, chicken breast, a split hot dog, refried beans, rice, and guacamole. The only thing that had any flavor was the guacamole, which I really enjoyed. I also ordered a tres leches, but it was one of the worst I’ve ever had. I was quite disappointed and won’t be coming back.”
“My photos don't do this hidden gem any justice bc wow...WOW. I live 2 hours away and would drive back just for another meal here. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, the prices are insanely affordable for the quality and quantity you receive, and the flavor and freshness is out of this world. Their salsa is the best salsa I've had possibly in my entire life and the roasted pork in the Cubano I ordered was practically meat butter (in the best way). The Yuca fries were also out of this world; so fresh, fluffy, and crisped to perfection! You can tell a lot of love goes into their food and I will go out of my way to return if I'm ever driving in the area.”
