Restaurante El Comalote - Maya Food & Tortillas | Antigua Guatemala — Restaurant in Sacatepéquez

If I could only go one place in Antigua it would be here. The best food in Antigua by far and a great caring staff. The tortillas are first rate and the tacos quite good. But I think what really elevates the space is the attentive staff and the ambiance of the place which is bright and clean. There’s a lot of average places in the city which overly cater to tourists; Comalote has something for everyone while remaining authentic. Something that I loved was the salsa picante and the veg tacos have flor de Jamaica (hibiscus) in the sautéed veggies which is a smart and flavorful touch.

My one regret is not coming early enough for the tamales!

Muchas gracias El comalote para los almuerzos...

A colorful restaurant near good souvenir shops in Antigua, we really enjoyed our meal at El Comalote. We loved watching the staff make fresh tortillas (which were delicious with the hilachas and the tortillas con lomito we ordered). I loved the chinchivir drink, an ice-cold concoction of lime (or lemon?) and spices and served in a dried gourd - my first time trying this, I learned it was popular in the Lenten season in Guatemala. We also took some chocolate-coconut tostadas to go for snacking, and they were great. Prices were slightly higher than local restaurants but not anything out of the ordinary for a tourist area, especially given the high quality of food...

So want to be súper honest about this review the place is cute and have nice paintings on the chairs and tables very folkloric small restaurant, but the service is awful they attend you with such a poor attitude that I left so disappointed, seems like if you are just one person they will not attend you as nice as a group of people not sure what they expect to me is just a casual spot nothing fancy or anything even close to it 😂 if that’s what they are intended for it’s not. Change the behavior of the servers and this will be a better...
