Don Panza Verde — Restaurant in Sacatepéquez

👉SAVE MONEY AND HAVE FUN WITH A HEARTY PLATE OF MEAT

If you're a tourist, don't forget to go to this place! (Tambien sugiero que locales lo visiten)

No wonder a lot of tourists and locals eat here. Since I doubled my cholesterol pill dosage, I didn’t feel...

We are staying at an airbnb across the street from this place. When we were walking to our condo, we noticed it and thought we could eat dinner there. What a great decision! It's a fun atmosphere and outstanding food at a great price. We got the mixto plate (small size) and it was enough to stuff us both! The accompaniments were delicious and you better put every one of them on your taco 🌮. One of the best dining experiences we've had in Guatemala. And the owners are sweet and happy to be doing what...
