The most delicious fried chicken I have ever had. Beans and fried plantains were incredible.

Guatemalan cuisine, A fusion of many regional cuisines, with roots in Maya and Spanish food, varies from Mexican quite a bit for people who know the ropes. The use of achiote, and more vegetables, as well as a different approach towards tamales which is a little sweeter, and also the incorporation of some South American twist, make Guatemalan cuisine delicious and different.
This place, obviously run under their tutelage of a mother or grandmother, (a lot of Latin cuisine you cannot make without a matron preserving and passing down the recipes and overseeing the kitchen) because everything just has that homemade taste that you can’t get enough of.
They made the menu a little more commercial than most places,, so I ordered the churrasco, which is a combination of several different meats and sides, also popular in Columbia and known there as a “fritanga”.
Everything on the Jewel-Osco, shrimp, the strip steak, the plantains, and the rice were perfect.
But the real treat here, one of life’s simple pleasures, were the best homemade tortillas I’ve had in the East Bay so far. Thick, (“grueso”), And warm, they reminded me of Central America when I was a child.
I highly recommend this place for people with taco fatigue like me. I will always love tacos but once in awhile you need something different and amazing and this is it! Also the staff is super nice, and it’s just two blocks from the proterra freeway off-ramp making it easily accessible from just about anywhere in the Bay Area.
