8. El Criollo
Reviewed By U7674MUerics
Excellent place for steaks! Simply delicious. I tried a 12-ounce top sirloin cap grilled to perfection. I also recommend the selection of Guatemalan traditional dishes like the âtortillas con queso chancolâ (corn tortillas stuffed with locally produced melted white cheese) - delicious. We ended up the experience with âatol de eloteâ (A sort of sweet corn hot drink) and molletes (another local sweet) for dessert and tasty Guatemalan coffee. Everything around a beautiful natural atmosphere and excellent service. Highly recommended!

Travel Menu is a must visit place if in Antigua. The staff are all very friendly. Had dinner here 1 night, a cocktail the next, and breakfast 2 days in a row. The food was extremely tasteful, and the cocktails are pretty awesome as well. Definitely a must for at least a cocktail if in the area

Since you may only read my first line, i must disclose i was asked to write a review in trip advisor right there in the restaurant in exchange for a free dessert, i did not want dessert, so i did not do it. If they make this offer to all customers, this may skew the real ratings.We went there with very high expectations. The place is quaint, but there are so many other quaint restaurants in Antigua that in my view it only scores average. Next, let me rate the food, and in this category i must say that it under delivered. The food was ok, but nothing great about it. I had the calamari and the chicken pepian, and both were pretty average. There are other restaurants equally good in Antigua. My wifeâs wine was oxidized, but i got to give the restaurant credit, they replaced it and did not charge at all. Lastly, the service was very good, the waiter was very cordial, and attentive. In this area probably Pistilos scores higher.All in all, i had better overall experiences (cost vs food) in Antigua during my visit.Good afternoon Salvadora, thank you so much for your honesty, we do appreciate everybody who takes the time to provide us with their feedback. I am sorry you found us average or less than that, we work hard to please all of our customers, but no doubt it is impossible to do so. But I can tell you that the calamari fritti and the chicken pepian don't do justice to any chef, you can tell when a pepian is not good, but if it is good is average the same for the calamari. I just want to let you know we care for our clients and we do want your business, please come back and try something else my treat.Always at your service.

The wonderful meal made the trip worthwhile. Recommend going in the daylight for the views and leave yourself plenty of time to get there. There is a shuttle from Casa Santa Domingo hotel but itâs not well marked so just ask. Dear laurelghr,Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful compliments for your dining experience at El Tenedor. We are delighted you enjoyed your time with us. It will be our pleasure to welcome you again the next time you visit La Antigua Guatemala.

Went here with family recently and was pleasantly surprised with the quality of the food. Everyone enjoyed their meals except my son who ordered the BBQ ribs. The BBQ sauce is nothing like the States so he didn't like them too much. It was some kind of local sauce, but not traditional BBQ. Other than that, the meats were good and pretty much everything was tasty. My only complaint was that the price was what you would expect in the States, not Guatemala. So, this is probably a hot spot for tourists. Service is pretty good too. Dear Stacman ; thank for you review and for you visit i apreciate you like our food our place and our service ; if you permit i would like to make an aclaration ; you are right the sauce it s not the same than in the U.S beaucause we are in Guatemala and we had our own ingredient and we dont want to copy when you travel normaly you want to taste diferent type of food ; then pricey but GOOD , yes it s pricey beaucause we use good imported product and organic product but it s not a tourist place 70 per cent of our customers are from Guatemala...And please por favor ; s il vous plait last week i was in Boulder Colorado and the price of a Quinoa Salad it s the price of a steak in my place , a pasta it s 2 steaks ; i eat a 8 onz buffalo steak in Denver the cost was 46 us wirhout tip( 18 ; 20 o 25 no choice here it s 10) ; so excuse me but Las Antorchas it a free for you and i pay 7 usd for a broccoli in a super market price of a salad in Las Antorchas...Thank you again for you visit and i m very happy than you and you family envoy the meal...

Reminds me of the great Texas style bbqâs from Austin. Pappyâs does it right. The brisket and the ribs are my favorite. My wife loves the pulled pork. It even has the Central Texas rustic, no frills charm. Aaah, and they have good imported and local handcrafted beer.
