Chermol — Restaurant in Sacatepéquez

Chermol has a great selection of beers; I got a nice amber from Costa Rica. They also have a variety of empanadas for about $1.25 each; I had a lovely one with plum, onion, and bacon. Yum! It was Tuesday night, and I took advantage of their special: a smaller portion of their typical Argentinian steak dinner for a lower price (47 quetzales, about $6.35). It was a piece of steak, piece of chorizo, portion of roast potatoes, and a side of salad. Then there was a plate of three sauces on the side: chimichurri (I think meant for the steak), a yellowish sauce I thought might be a mild creamy mustard (went well with the chorizo), and a sauce of what seemed to be chopped red chiles in olive oil (spicy). The salad was fresh and crisp with a delicious dressing. The potatoes were great, hot with crispy edges and lovely savory, slightly spicy seasoning. Loved the chorizo. The only thing that makes me give this four stars instead of five is that the steak wasn't great, and since it's meant to be the centerpiece of the meal, that detracted. They didn't ask me a temperature; it arrived medium. It was fairly tough, so maybe sirloin--yet didn't have much flavor like sirloin. I doused it with the chimichurri. Still, it was such a good deal and everything else was very good. I would definitely go again.

Note, it''s hard to find, inside a courtyard with several restaurants. A Dunkin' Donuts is one of these and has a street presence, that could help...

Chermol is a small eatery alongside a number of other food vendors, all situated within a large garden compound. At night with the lights strung up, the location is quite beautiful. There is a main covered area with live music, a fire pit and shelter from rain. Other tables and chairs are dotted around the grounds. The atmosphere is lovely.

The Chermol menu offers a variety of regional dishes. I ordered the 4 empanada set which was delicious.

There is a playground for kids and beer options for adults. I’d love to...

What fantastic and delicious food! I love the chorizo sandwich, but just had the suckling pig tonight snd it was incredible! Everything on the menu is absolutely mouth watering! Great place to have a cold beer, sit by the fire, play games with friends, and eat irresistible food! The staff is so friendly and helpful with recommendations. I’ve also chowed down on the steak here and loved it as well. I can’t forget to mention THEIR BOMB DOT COM FRENCH FRIES! Go now,...
