Why Travelers Love The Little
Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.
Amazing food! Most polite and friendly staff ever. Everyone has the biggest smiles. Creative smoothies and beautiful food with unique options. Hummin' toast was phenomenal. My partner had Bella's beats toasts. We loved the Little Spoon! Stopped after finishing Acatenango for a well deserved lunch. The smoothie, tikka masala bowl, cheesecake, and bacon panini was delicious. The staff were friendly and spoke English. We will be going back again on this trip Super friendly staff and great view of the streets. Good food. The shrimp tacos was great we did a second round. They also let is store our bags.

The music here puts you in a vibe to receive the food. The menu is small but there is something for everyone. The food is beyond tasty and the pepper sauce adds lovely variance to the meal. The restaurant is upstairs and has two floors. The waiters speak fluent English and are really pleasant

Really nice spot for a meal and night atmosphere. I had dinner on the top terrace and a couple of days later I returned for brunch, both were really good and super friendly staff.
