El Quetzal is a delightful gem for anyone craving authentic Guatemalan cuisine! 🌟 I enjoyed the Plato Mixto, a vibrant combination of shrimp, beef, chicken, and perfectly seasoned veggies, served with homemade tortillas. For dessert, their freshly baked Guatemalan bread is a must-try!

The atmosphere is cozy, making it perfect for solo dining or family gatherings. The staff is incredibly welcoming and truly embodies the culture. Just be prepared for a bit of a wait, as the space can get crowded. But trust me, it's worth it for the exceptional flavors! 😊
