Tartines — Restaurant in Sacatepéquez

I wish i could do 3.75 stars. This is coming from a New Yorker. The wine was good, the food was good, but I simply do not understand the hype. The rooftop was very very small, only 4-5 tables fit, and the ruins were nothing spectacular from this angle (google reviews wont let me upload a video but imagine like 100 sq feet).

The accompanying fries were crispy and delicious, and the wine list is solid. For dessert, the seasonal fruit mousse was light and wonderfully flavored - passionfruit, my favorite! Efraín was a friendly server, and his wine recommendation was spot on. If you are ever in Antigua, do yourself a favor and eat a meal...
