Cafe Antigua

First time Guatemalan food eater. I ate the recommended chilequilles and the tortilla chips are maybe the best i've ever had, and I have been known to frequent my local casa's for artisan chips. Price was also fair, two meals + 1 specialty coffee + tip + tax was just over $40.

Cafe Antigua is always an exciting stop for some brunch. Got to invite a fellow Yelp Elite to try it for the first time and was so happy to share some yummy food. Cafe Antigua gets busy, so definitely be prepared to use the wait system that they have at their sister location Cafe Kacao. We came on the earlier side about 10, and we were able to be seated without waiting. Huge area, a lot bigger than Kacao, so definitely more seating immediately. As far as food, I tried something different this go round and had a machaca omelette which was fine. The asada is typically my go to, and I probably should have gone with that but I wanted to try something new. The machaca just was okay. Nothing too crazy flavorful. The beef wasn't memorable, but it still was a good meal overall. Their beans are amazing! The rest was good. My friend enjoyed her spicy montleno. Both lattes were also yummy! Definitely would suggest the salted caramel. The miss was actually the tres leches concha. I realllllllly wanted to like it. But it was SOOOOO dry. I mean, REALLY dry. Which was surprising since it's supposed to be tres leches right? But no, both the top and bottom portion was extremely dry. So I definitely wouldn't order again. 4 stars since the machaca was okay and was a complete pass on the tres leches concha, but everything else was good.

Let me get this out of the way: Cafe Antigua is better today than Cafe Kacao has been in the past three or four visits I've made there. And it's not a particularly close comparison.I've been visiting Antigua for years. I should say that I have a very specific type of experience that I'm after when I dine there. I like their coffee, but I never get any kind of coffee drink except for black coffee. Therefore, I can't comment on that part of their business. When I visit Antigua, I typically meet someone for a visit and conversation. That convo may be business-related, strictly personal, or somewhere in between. Regardless, I'm going there because of the visit first and the food second. And that's why I never object to suggestions of an Antigua visit (except on the weekends, when it gets busier than I want to experience). It's always good food, an ambiance that's conducive to conversation, and a clean, comfortable place to spend some time.During this last visit, I had the Machaca (eggs with peppers, onions, tomatoes, and shredded beef). It was terrific as it was. There was no hot sauce on the table, and there was no need for it. The refried black beans and foil-wrapped flour tortillas were also delicious. My colleague had the Migas, and they looked great (she stated that they were her favorite meal). The server was attentive, and the price was totally reasonable.There's literally no reason not to go to Cafe Antigua. They serve their full menu all day, and there's definitely something for everyone.

Liked it here, good assortment of coffee drinks, food was spot on and our server was prompt. Nice atmosphere, easy parking, lighting good, a good variety of food offerings.

I had the carne asada. It was so yummy. We only waited about 10 minutes at noon on a Sunday. I would eat here again.

Stopped in for coffee and had the fried plantains to go with my honey lavender latte. I need to come back soon to have their breakfast, because everything sounded fantastic. The staff here are absolutely wonderful folks!

I'm not sure how I have never reviewed this restaurant considering it is my favorite place to eat in Oklahoma City. They also own Cafe Kacao but I prefer this location and menu style, it is more on the lunch side of brunch as opposed to Kacao which is more on the breakfast side. Both are amazing but I prefer this one considering I'm a lunch side of brunch guy! Thank you Antigua for always being great!

Adding to my prior review where I had breakfast, this is my first time having lunch here and it was amazing - their tilapia dish with rice was out of this world! Incredibly delicious, and very flavorful with their chili/hot sauce. Their corn (?) soup was also incredible. Also their beverages are on point, including the horchata, red fruit flavored Aqua Fresca (forgot the name), and limeade. Service was very prompt and attentive. Will also get the mango juice next time. Interior atmosphere spacious and plenty of tables. Highly recommended as one of the top Guatemalan restaurants in town!

I came here for the first time this past Sunday for brunch with my friend and I'm shocked how I haven't been here before! I have known about this spot for a while and am a huge fan of Cafe Kacao, so I knew I would love the food here. I appreciate how this place isn't as jam packed so early for brunch. Unlike Cafe Kacao, my friend and I didn't even have to put ourselves on the waitlist, but instead did a walk-in around 9 am. We were sat immediately and I would say that the crowd started to pick up around 10 am. The ambiance is standard - kind of similar to Cafe Kacao but less hyped up with the decorations.Food:*Mosh* this was a delicious sweet/cinnamony porridge bowl - the only complaint I had and I did address this with the server was the cheese cloth used to squeeze the oats through left strings in my food! I had to keep picking them out of my mouth....other than that the mosh was delicious!*Motuleno* This is one of my favorites from Cafe Kacao, and I got it again here at Cafe Antigua - same flavors, same quality of food - very tasty! I love the spicy green sauce poured over the top. I ordered my eggs over hard for this dish of tortillas smothered in beans, feta cheese, sauce, and tortillas on the side.*Concha Tres Leches* My friend ordered this dessert and I tried a bite. I was a bit disappointed about how dry the concha was. We expected it to be drenched in tres leches to give it the same feel as tres leches cake.Drink:Matcha Latte with Almond milk - Okay, I am a matcha snob, and this spot serves quality matcha! Great amount of caffeine and wonderful flavor as well with just the right amount of sweetness!Love this place - It was amazing!

This is one my favorite restaurants in the city! The Guatemalan coffee and food hits the spot! So much food and it's all tasty. Everything I have had has been so good. I have never had a long wait and the staff is always friendly.
