Why Travelers Love Restaurante El
Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.
Easily one of the best meals I've had in Guatemala. Outstanding food, pleasant service, and wonderful views. Many menu items are expensive by Guatemalan standards, but there are some good less expensive menu items as well. Best michelada I've ever had was served here. This year service was quicker, as always there is super friendly waiters. Food is amazing and it's just a beautiful restaurant with an amazing view. One of my favorite spots in Santiago Atitlán! Locals tourists go there for American food. If you are looking for local or original fare, this is not the place. However, what we did order was well made, although quite overpriced. The view is AMAZING.

Too expensive, food is ok but not worth the price I paid. There were 10 of us, we were charged 1,500 quetzales. Just a block down you can get same food for half the price. Save your money, the view is ok but nothing out of this world.
