Fodor's Review:

Ask locals to recommend a place to eat in the Old City, and chances are they'll send you to this spirited Guatemalan favorite. The decor couldn't be simpler -- wooden masks adorn the walls and soda-bottle flower vases add a touch of color to each table. The flavorful cuisine, typical of the Cobán region, includes kaq'ik (a spicy turkey stew), gallo en chicha (chicken in a slightly sweet sauce), and sopa de tortuga (turtle soup). More adventurous types will want to sample the roasted tepezcuintle. On Friday and Saturday night live marimba music fills the restaurant. A branch in the New City opened in 2006, and dishes up the same regional cuisine from Las Verapaces. The business has even opened up food-court stands in several shopping centers around town, but we suggest you partake in one of the sit-down outlets.
