Guatelaria — Restaurant in Sacatepéquez

We were exhausted after two full days of travel and decided to order Guatelavia through Uber Eats instead of dining in. To our delight, the food arrived fresh, flavorful, and just what we needed to feel revived. We ordered three traditional Guatemalan dishes: pepián, jocon de pollo, and kak’ik. Each plate was generous in size, beautifully prepared, and full of authentic flavor.

The pepián had a rich, hearty sauce layered with spice and depth—comforting and satisfying. The kak’ik, a traditional turkey soup, was fragrant, warming, and packed with complexity. But the standout for us was the jocon de pollo. The bright green sauce, made with tomatillo and cilantro, was vibrant, earthy, and unlike anything we’ve tried before. It struck the perfect balance of tangy, savory, and fresh, and quickly became our favorite of the night.

What impressed us most was that even though we ordered delivery, the dishes tasted as if they had just come straight from the kitchen to our table.

Bad service. The guy at the entrance is very nice but the servers need a lot of training. The place needs some help.

We ordered the pepian, fried fish, the ribeye, beef soup, and caramel macchiato.

Don't get coffee from here. I ordered a macchiato and they brought 2 shots of espresso. I have gone to several (at least 5) other coffee places and they have service and better coffee. Then I asked to have it corrected and the guy tried to correct me and tell me two shots were a latte/macchiato. I try not to be a jerk but it was too much and I had to return it, especially paying the premium price for a good cup of coffee.

Don't get anything with rice. The rice was undercooked for everyone (soups and pepian)

Good things: the actual pepian sauce was tasty. I mostly got chicken even though it says it has three meats. The pork and beef were mostly...
