It’s not the only Guatemalan spot in town, but with two decades under its belt, this place might just be the oldest. Start off with the bright pink tamarind-and-rum cocktail, and you’ll blend right into the cozy room’s color scheme. The menu is heavy on seafood, with standouts that include grilled tilapia, grilled shrimp and seafood soup. The excellent chuchitos (Guatemalan tamales) are something like a loose lettuce wrap, and the burritos aren’t your standard Mexican variation, but instead emphasize fresh vegetables and black beans. A handful of Guatemalan beers and desserts such as mollete bread pudding seal the deal.
