Happy Tacos and Best Coffee — Restaurant in Sololá

Happy Tacos needs to be upfront about their payment methods. We were not informed that they only accept cash, and when we paid in US Dollars, we received a much worse exchange rate than the actual one. It was clearly a tactic to take advantage of tourists. We ended up paying more than $30 extra, and it felt like they took advantage of our trust. The person at the restaurant, Mr. Gomez, asked us to leave the dollars with him, saying we could come back the next day to get our money and pay in Guatemalan quetzales.

Edwin, the owner, is the sweetest. Kind, attentive, and fun (great job chit chatting with us in English, which was so appreciated considering our Spanish isn’t perfect). Go...
