Panaderia y Restaurante Antigua Guatemala — Restaurant in Los Angeles

The owner needs to retrain the unfriendly, rude waitress that was working on 5/31/25 at around 9:30am. She never greeted us with a simple hello, good morning, or even a fake smile. She was super unpleasant to talk to and couldn't even answer a simple question politely. My husband asked her which chocolate was made with milk and which was made with water since we ordered one of each and they both looked the same. She looked at him in complete awkward silence and then answered sarcastically. I asked for them to add eggs to my food which they did not but I did not even want to say anything because every interaction with the waitress was uncomfortable. She was mad the whole time and simply stated that's how she is. The food took a ridiculous amount of time to come out and when it did it was cold. We were literally the only guests there at this time. To top it off, we ended up paying $99 for 3 orders of eggs with beans, 1 tamal, 1 torta, 2 hot chocolates, 2 coffees, 3 pieces of pan dulce and a bad experience with a mean waitress. Customer service is not her forte or maybe she was having a bad day but she definitely ruined...

I recently visited a Guatemalan restaurant in Harbor City and had an incredible experience! As someone who had never tried Guatemalan food before, I was unsure of what to order. The waitress was super helpful and gave great suggestions. I ended up trying the garnachas, tostadas, and Guatemalan tamales.

The garnachas were definitely my favorite—kind of salty but so delicious! The flavors were rich, and I loved the texture. The tostadas were great as well, crunchy and tasty. However, the tamale wasn’t quite to my taste, but it wasn’t bad—it just wasn’t my favorite compared to the other dishes.

Overall, the food was fantastic, and the service was top-notch. I’ll definitely be coming back to try more dishes. Highly recommend this spot to anyone looking to try...

I really wanted to like this place. A lady approached me at the front register and I told her what I wanted. Besides that I also asked her about the plantain plates they had and she thought I said plates. She says “well it’s everything there on the picture”. Basically didn’t want to answer my question and to look myself. Then I told her I didn’t know the menu very well and it was my first time. 🤷🏽‍♀️ immediate turnoff. She had no face expression and energy was off. I didn’t like her lack of effort. Even if I did ask about the plates, you’re the expert, why not guide someone to making the right choice. $28 for 3 bolillos with beans and a order of plantains. Math wasn’t mathing but at that point I just...
