A cute restaurant filled with Guatemalan history and culture. The owner is super passionate and friendly and wants to help you in any way he can. If you’re backpacking through and have a genuine interest in learning about Huehue you gotta stop here. Some local delicacies include: black salt, coffee, lamb, and fruit drinks. The frozen passionfruit drink was delicious!

Very good service. Nice and interesting place. The host is more than willing to share some of Huehuetenango's history with you. Having a cup of coffee is a must!

Amazing place. The owner is really lovely and will make sure you'll have a great evening. We were asking for vegan dishes and they created new options just for us. Definitely recommend this place to everyone visiting huehue.
