Encuentro Latino

Our first time here, Sunday dinner time. We were a bit nervous when we sat down since we were the only people there but by the time we left it was full. That was for good reason since the food was delicious. I am no expert on Guatemalan cuisine, but this was a great introduction. It's been a while so I don't recall exactly what we had, but it was all very good. Fresh juices were great.

This place is just around the corner from my work. Lucky me! It a very simple diner- style authentic Guatemalan restaurant. The service is excellent, as are the food and drinks. I ordered the Chapin Combo. It consists of Churrasquito, garnacha and a pupusa of choice, along with a delicious tomato based sauce and pickled cabbage and carrots with jalapeños. I chose the veggie pupusa, and it was amazing; large and warm and filling of stuffings.i washed it all down with wonderful tamarind juice. I will be back soon to try the beef stew, horchata, seafood soup and many other goodies.

Great local place in downtown Ypsi. It's Guatemalan! You need to know that Guatemalan cuisine is primarily based on Mayan and Spanish cuisine and prominently includes beans, corn, and chilies as key ingredients in their food recipes. Pachas (a kind of tamale made from potatoes) is a common dish in Guatemala eaten usually on Thursdays. I went on Thursday and ate it. Also, the tortillas here are amazing. Soft and fluffy.

Wonderful food! We ordered the empanadas and The Chicken milanase dish and some tostada type beef dish! Everything was amazing! So fresh and the sauce was so flavorful! Service was top noch! You will not be disappointed in trying this place!

These were overall good. They had flavor but not a lot of filling in the inside. Most of the time the crust is a little thicker and it more filling, but not these. They were a little different from usual, but not bad. I wouldn't personally come here again only because I can find better empanada's.The ambiance was ok , nothing fancy. I didn't dine in but they had them ready fast.

Very happy to have stopped in. Great food and service. Took a little longer than I thought to get the food but they did have a ton of take-out orders to fill. The quality and freshness was A+, overall ambiance was very casual but clean.

I want to visit Guatemala one day. I never considered it until I ate the amazing food at this humble place. I know that sounds ridiculous, but it's the truth. Maybe it's the fried plantains. There's something extra wonderful about something that's delicious without seasoning. The plantains are perfectly ripe, and the pan fry gives it a rich, subtly sweet flavor. It's served with a crema that compliments it, but it honestly doesn't need it. The simplicity of the plantains is what makes it so good. Or, maybe it's the Guatemalan Breakfast, with its soft masa tacos, black refried beans, cotija cheese, and more of those awesome plantains. Eggs (your choice), too, and more crema. It transforms breakfast into an economy trip to Central America.That trip to warmer climes won't set you back much: only 4 things on the vast menu cost more than $10, and only slightly (no more than $11.95). There's something about the cozy interior that's comforting, making me want to stay all day and savor this amazing food. I'm just glad the day gets to start with breakfast. My pictures don't look pretty. It's a carry out I ate out of a styrofoam container with my brother. It doesn't matter: the flavor transcends the delivery.

A total disappointment rip off. I ordered this years ago and it was delicious. I was surprised when this only came with three tacos and the condiments were tiny portions! Almost $10 for this is ridiculous!

We ordered delivery from here and the food was really delicious. We had the Chile Relleno, fried plantains, pupusas, chips and guacamole, and churasquitos. Everything was good except the churasquitos which might have been good if we had received all of the parts to assemble them. Sadly, we only received 3 small tortillas and nothing else. Delivery was a bit slow.

Food and drinks were amazing. Pupusas were strong and my wife loved her dish. Cantaloupe juice was as good as it gets! We will be back!!
