El Quetzal — Restaurant in Brussels

We can 100% recommend El Quetztal and would love to visit again when we are...

During my visit, I sampled both the El Quetzal Nachos and El Quetzal Tacos, each offering a selection of flavors to explore. While some tacos stood out more than others, the generous portions compensated for the higher prices.

Speaking of prices, they lean towards the medium-high range for this type of establishment, but the overall experience more than...
