El Quetzal Restaurant

When it comes to food I'm very demanding, especially if it is food that I can cook my self. I can say with confidence that this Guatemalan Restaurant is very good, nothing fancy just good flavors and tasty food that impressed me. My family really enjoyed the Carne Asada, Pepian De Pollo, Pescado Frito, Carne Adobada, Sopa de Pollo and definitely Garnachas, Chuchitos and Tamales Chapines. Everything was delicious. Definitely I'm coming back soon. Cuando se trata de comida puedo ser demandante, especialmente si es comida que yo puedo preparar. Puedo decir con seguridad que este Restaurante Guatemalteco es muy bueno, nada lujoso solo buen sabor y sabroso que me sorprendió. My familia también lo disfruto, Carne Asada, Pepian De Pollo, Pescado Frito, Carne Adobada, Sopa de Pollo y definitivamente Garnachas, Chuchitos y Tamales Chapines. Todo estaba delicioso. Definitivamente voy a regresar pronto.

They sell expired sodas here. Every time I come here the soda is expired. I don't know why they don't go their their ether and check it

El Quetzal is a pretty nice restaurant. I like ordering carne asada and most of the time it comes out good. I like how it has a salad, rice, and beans. There has only been a few instances were the meat wasn't fully cooked. El Quetzal es un restaurante agradable. Me gusta pedir carne asada y la mayoría de las veces sale buena. Me gusta que trae ensalada, arroz y frijoles. Solo ha habido unas veses que la carne no estaba completamente cocida.

Very nice staff and ample parking in the center where the restaurant is located. Got the Pepian de Pollo, comes with white rice and no veggies. Meal cost $13.50 Came with a leg and a big breast of chicken, wasn't a lot of food but definitely enough to make you feel full. Taste was just okay, not bad, but doesn't have any depth of flavor. Pepian has a velvety texture which is nice but the sauce itself lacks any substantial flavors ; had to add Red Hot hot sauce for spiciness and added salt, makes the dish a lot better. Overall not a bad experience, will try something else on my next visit.

Got pepian for my wife as she loves this dish, it was a 4 out of 5 and the red sauce they give you was 5 out of 5. Overall it was the great customer service, i called in to make sure the pepian was still available and it was. When i arrived to pick up and asked for sopa de res they said they were making a new batch. Which is a great sign that they make the food fresh, i picked up my food at 3:30pm.

I have driven by this place many times and was always curious to try. Not too many Guatemalan restaurants in an area where Surprisingly there is big "Chapin" population. For a place in a heavy traffic location with good parking. This place needs better marketing, more artwork and decor. Menu is limited to like 8 dishes. And price is not clear. Not too many drinks to chose from. Food is good but limited and prepared quick. Would I care to come back? Only if they step their game up.

We had the Garnachas & the Pork Rib as suggested by the guy that worked there.The Garnachas were delicious but a little burnt on the bottom I would order them again but I hope they don't burn them again. The rib was tough but had good flavoring. We ate all of our food & the price was good, I would try them again but not order the ribs.As others stated the food takes awhile to prepare, I watched the two lady cooks talk and talk the entire time they leisurely made our meal. Good to enjoy your work! As long as you can stop burning your food

First time there. Last time there. Went in talked to the lady and told her it was my first time. She was okay, but the rest of the ladies werent pretty rude. I ordered a CHUCHITO and garnachas?The CHUCHITO was probably 3 days old. They werent fresh but they didng tell me. They were ok better than garnachas. GARNACHAS made me sick, gave me #2. I rold her no onions and they still put them. I told the lady "Thank you" at the end, she didnt acknowledged me. Yup, last time in that nasty place. I went bc of the good reviews, maybe i was treated bad ts bc im not there skin color.

Pros: Friendly staff.Clean restaurant.Cons:Small menu with limited Menu choices.The establishment is a good size and clean. They are a bit pricey for this area they have a very small and limited menu choices and to make it worse they were out of half the menu choices this day. The food is made to order and tasted fresh. I ordered The Beef Tostadas which came with chopped radish, pepper, onion, Jalapeno and very little beef which lacked flavor. Give it a try but for me I'll pass this place up next time.

The food is great you need more than one server taking car of 8 tabel !!!!!!!!!! we have been waiting for our food more than 45 minutes
