Are there good restaurants in Guatemala?
When we asked people living in Guatemala about good local restaurants, they mentioned...
"This varies by village. Panajachel and San Pedro La Laguna have the most commercial nightlife. Other villages (smaller) have known. I preferred those places where there was none. I don't like the noise. Plus intoxicated gringos attract a criminal element," remarked another expat in Lake Atitlan, Guatemala.

This restaurant is known for its traditional Guatemalan cuisine, such as tamales, enchiladas, and chiles rellenos.
