Aurora's Restaurant — Restaurant in Hartford

Well I wanted to like it. Meal took an hour to prepare and they're not that busy. 4 parties of two were there. Other people ordered after us (ok everyone who was there after us got their food before us ...some a half hour later) ... We wanted to eat on their outdoor tables -covid- so ended up with to go boxes trying to cut a steak on foam with a plastic tiny knife ... I didn't order to go I said I wanted to eat at outside tables.

I ordered the grilled steak and chorizo .. it was given to another in my group . Waiter assured me it was not mine ... but it was. I got bizteck "steak" which was tough like under cooked potroast and gristled. I got a taste of the grilled special and it was delicious ... unfortunately I ended up eating someone else's meal that was not good. The sides were All good esp the potato salad . $60 for not what you ordered and in a foam box and over an hour later . I regretted...

Honest review check!

Pros: The food is definitely delicious, we ordered a little bit of everything, everything is freshly made, tortillas are real corn and not Maseca (thank you for that!), the bread is delicious, both sweet and savory (real Guatemalan style/taste), the place is cute and I am glad to see that they are super busy! (We ordered churrasco, Guatemalan breakfast, enchiladas, coffee, hot chocolate, breakfast sandwich and took home chiles rellenos and lots of bread!) Make sure you ask for the special of the day!!

Cons: Because everything is freshly made and they are super busy (well, we went Sunday morning) the service is a bit slow, please plan ahead and just enjoy your coffee while you await to enjoy some deliciousness (order coffee and a bread as an appetizer to open up your appetite!).

Edit: forgot to mention, amazing customer...

Yes yes yes. Originally planned on eating nearby but their food was closed for the day. I’m not from the area/ didn’t know where else to try. We saw Aurora’s google reviews and noticed it was also in walking distance. I’m so glad this is where we ended up! I think I found a new GO TO. Everything on the menu sounded good but this is my favorite way to eat breakfast. Such a well balanced and delicious meal. I got the Traditional Breakfast with Huevos Rancheros. I added a side of avocado because why not. I’ve always been interested in trying my eggs this way but never did. I saw the picture and knew this was the place to give it a shot. The coffee was simple but great, too. Next time I hope to grab the flan or tres leches. After tasting the food I’m sure the treats are just...
