Blind Lemon's Restaurant & Cafe

Constructed in the colonial architectural style with parabolic arches and gardens, Blind Lemon’s reflects the tradition of Guatemala. And set in San Marcos La Laguna, a small Mayan village on Lake Atitlan, surrounded by towering volcanoes, Blind Lemon’s h

I showed up at Blind Lemon's for an early dinner to find a group of football (soccer) fans from UK and Canada relaxing on a comfortable sofa and chairs watching on a big screen TV the Manchester City vs ?? Eat/Drink/Game. Good time even though I know nothing about football. Blind Lemon's is comfortable and inviting.The menu is well rounded, something for everyone. I had an excellent chicken enchilada dish. I came back later to see if Carlos Funk would be there. Lucky me, he was.For the next couple evenings Carlos and I played the blues. You've got to check this place out!

Big Burger

Best burgers in San Pedro according to both locals and visitors. We offer a stunning rooftop patio area where you can eat and enjoy a relaxing view of the lake. Locally owned by Pedrano family.

For a place called Big Burger, you'd think ordering a burger would be safe. Ordered a cheeseburger and the pattie was charred. The cheese was the plastic square cheese. Partner ordered chips with cheese & bacon - same plastic cheese and no flavour bacon. Service was friendly. Please feel free to return your burger if it is not cooked the way you ordered! We like to please our customers.

Smokin Joes BBQ

Nestor and Luann, who live in San Pedro La Laguna, have been cooking a big barbecue every Saturday for 6 years in Panajachel and for 9 years in San Pedro La Laguna on Sundays. We started small but with the help of many friends we have grown out of control

Reviewed By N M

I've reviewed them once before but it was a long time ago and upon returning to town I'm glad to find both the food quality & service as consistent as ever. For those of you who've never been here, eventually you crave something different, a bit of comfort food, something you don't see at every restaurant or maybe just a break from beans and chicken, and to those who love burgers and protect their sanctity like it's our sacred American duty, THIS is a place adhering to those ideals. Not the sad, bland, tiny, poorly cooked imitations so many pubs offer, not veggie burger vegan regional hippie madness, this is a GRILL sacred to almost solely meats (portobello mushroom is allowed to touch the grill and be made into a scrumptious veggie sandwich just so non-carnivorous friends aren't discriminated against) and such a variety to choose from! I am a creature of habit and keep returning for my cheeseburger fix, which at 1/2 lb to begin with (you can order a BIGGER burger if you dare) is enough to knock me out cold for almost 15 hours straight every time. I love, love, LOVE the variety of sauces available to decorate your buns and meats with and here learned South Carolina mustard is some kind of divinity denied to Illinois. The salad bar is fantastic in it's own right and a fun way to build your own burger/sandwich and they always have things like coleslaw and potato salad or other cold salads available as sides. Things I love most? The chef NEVER undercooks my burger, a hearty side portion of the best American style mac n cheese I've tasted down here comes with every entree upon request and the rotating menu of side dishes available at the buffet is always delicious (again, with plenty of vegetarian friendly options, like their AMAZING cornbread). Dessert is an entirely different decadent delight; rich chocolate brownies, sometimes cake, sometimes cobbler made with seasonal fruit and it all haunts my dreams. Even if there's no way all the bbq food leaves room for dessert I get it to go because passing on it is a true sin. There are always drink specials, a full bar with a fine variety of spirits (especially nice for my other picky drinkers) beyond the usual "well" options and excellent bartenders who know their craft and are great people. The entire staff really makes you feel welcome and like you're one big family even if many people there are half a world away from home. It's a great place for local expats to mingle, foreigners to meet and befriend one another and to generally spend a wonderful Sunday relaxing and enjoying good eats and company. For the price you also get an OBSCENE amount of food-stretching your budget doesn't even begin to describe it. There are beautiful lake views from the seating area above the bar, a pool for kids and dogs alike to go crazy in, and a perfectly inviting, family-friendly environment. This is definitely where I cheat on my favorite Chicago burger places and it puts a smile on my face every time.*Note-When I say YES this restaurant has waitstaff I mean that waitresses do walk around taking drink orders but food you order at the register and pick up when your name is called (you can dive into the buffet of sides the moment you've paid for your order).Thanks so much for taking the time to review us so descriptively. We truly appreciate your compliments! Sending people home full & happy yet not bankrupt, while providing a nice atmosphere and quality products is one of the things we enjoy doing most and our mission.ROFL, "sacred American duty,"-if there is such a thing, I guess preserving the integrity of Southern-style BBQ should be a top priority!

El Barrio

Reviewed By haveluvwilltravelpnw

San Pedro is heavily saturated with bars & restaurants so El Barrio could easily be missed while scrolling through TA. Do yourself a favor & add this restaurant to your favorites to make sure you stop my, you won’t regret it! This expat-run restaurant has a fantastic selection of beers & liquors to choose from, including some wonderful local selections (Pantera beer from Antigua, how could we resist?!?). They also offer delicious food including a 4-course weekend brunch with beverages which was frankly incredible! And Sunday night there is an Irish Stew special (YUM!) Our advice, skip the touristy waterfront walk the winding streets to enjoy this gem! Thank you Sean, Natalie & Anita for the wonderful hospitality!

Great place to have breakfast, lunch or late night food.

The Blue Parrot has great casual food, such as burgers, other sandwiches, salads, etc. It has a nice outdoor dining area and a covered dining area, plus a bar to sit around. The staff is friendly and the food great. This is a really good place to eat.

Reviewed By Efan H

I found Texas Burger by accident but count it as one of the best discoveries in Santiago Atitlan and even one of my favorite restaurant discoveries in Guatemala. A major reason I go to Santiago Atitlan is for the hamburgers at Texas Burger. The burgers themselves are perhaps the best I've had in Guatemala, large and juicy with high quality meat, hamburger buns and American cheese. Extras include sautéed mushrooms and bacon, and the most expensive item on the menu is the king of the burgers at around 90Q. Fries are hand-cut; also offered are cheeseburgers, quesadillas, breakfast (incl. homemade fluffy pancakes with fruit, yogurt and maple syrup). No alcohol is served but there are glass-bottled Cokes, etc. made with cane sugar; licuados, juice and very good coffee. The owner's name is Lola and she cooks from her own kitchen; her food carries that home cooking feeling and taste. She had been a chef in the United States for some time and speaks English and Spanish as well as Tz'utujil and Cakchiquel Maya of the area. The restaurant is one of the cleanest and well kept I've seen in Guatemala and is located as a fully functional business on the first floor of the owner's home. Ask about room rental - she has a few private rooms available by the night in her home. Best views of Volcan San Pedro and walk downstairs for breakfast. Texas Burger is for those who are a bit more adventurous and will go a bit further off the beaten path for real gems. It's on Canton Tzanjuyu, a few blocks further than Quila's. From the main dock go up the main drag to the first intersection; take a right (Quila's will be on your left shortly), and keep walking another 5 minutes through a residential neighborhood until you see Texas Burger on your left; can't miss it because there is as huge sign out front with a big picture of a juicy burger and sometimes Texan cowboy music playing on the speakers.

Although it is perhaps overlooked by quick-visit tourists due to its location, I visited this café many times during my 10 weeks living in Santiago Atitlán! The family who owns it also has a bakery, and all of the pastries, bread, and deserts offered in the café come straight from there. The staff are friendly and the cappuccinos are delicious too. I recommend the effort to go find it, no matter how long you have in town!
