When we asked people living in Guatemala about good local restaurants, they mentioned...

"This varies by village. Panajachel and San Pedro La Laguna have the most commercial nightlife. Other villages (smaller) have known. I preferred those places where there was none. I don't like the noise. Plus intoxicated gringos attract a criminal element," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Lake Atitlan, Guatemala.

"One of the most popular restaurants in Guatemala is El Portal de la Antigua, located in the city of Antigua. This restaurant is known for its traditional Guatemalan cuisine, such as tamales, enchiladas, and chiles rellenos. The restaurant also offers a variety of international dishes, such as Italian and Mexican. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, and the staff is friendly and attentive. https://www.tripadvisor.com/Restaurant_Review-g292078-d8450090-Reviews-El_Portal_de_la_Antigua-Antigua_Sacatepequez_Department.html Another popular restaurant in Guatemala is La Casa de los Tres Mundos, located in the city of Quetzaltenango.
