We came in from Orange County and found this absolutely delicious gem! Everything was so good and made with care. I had the street tacos and they were so fresh and the homemade tortillas were delicious. The rice was amazing. Others in my party had the papusas (delicious), the carne asada enchilada(amazing) and a burrito. Also, those who like spice the very hot salsa delivers! Its a great story and great food. We will go again before we go home, wishing there was one closer!

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

I got drawn here because of some deals, and it was so worth it! I've been in IV for a short time, but this is my favorite spot so far. Nice big menu with things I don't often find, like tamales, pupusas, and an actually spicy salsa option (for anyone else into that). Nicely filling for the money I spent. Functional but welcoming outdoor seating.

First time eating Guatemalan food and it was delicious! Between the people in our family we seemingly tried everything on the menu and it was all good. Elubia was in the kitchen cooking and she was so sweet and wanted to be sure we liked our meal. The fact that everything is gluten free was a huge bonus for our family (celiac) but even without that we agree it was a delicious dinner. FYI our google map had us park around the corner at the market and kept routing us to the market.
