“Spend your evening here!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed May 11, 2013

It is a beautiful restaurant with restful atmosphere, but chose the garden and enjoy the local musicians. We kept going back, sometimes just for dessert after trying another place, because owners Bill and Mary make you feel so welcome. Their smiles put a special glow on every evening. We had great fish dishes, always paired with fresh local vegetables. The... More

The food/drink is delicious and safe to eat and drink. The band is South American in flavor with Guatemalan tunes. Outstanding musicians.

“Great restaurant”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed April 2, 2013

Located a few blocks from Cenral Park ,and close to La Bogadona-Antigua's grocery store, this is a very nice restaurant that offers great food and live music every night. There are also cooking classes, Mayan ceremonies, etc. on certain nights, but you are always going to be entertained there. Owners Mary and Bill are great hosts and do a lot... More

Really nice place for fun and food. Lots of good music and very friendly folks. Don't miss it! When you go, say hello to Bill and Mary, the sailing owners from Nashville.

“Great Ambience and Very Affordable Wonderful Food!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed March 18, 2013

PEna de Sol is perfect for those looking to combine great Andean music with really delicious food. Their eggplant appetizer is delicious - nice and tender and the entrées are super, especially the two fish dishes. For those that want a smaller plate, the quesedillas are tasty and only $7. Good frozen margaritas and wonderful desserts (try the rich chocolate... More

What fun to visit an authentic Guadamala resturant and find it owned by Americans. We had a wonderful lunch buffet and great service.

“Good food, good music and great service”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 28, 2013

We had a lovely time at La Pena de Sol. There was an Andean band playing, which was good. Our food - I ordered the macadamia crusted grouper, while my husband had grilled chicken - was simple and well prepared. We especially enjoyed chatting with Bill. He and his wife, Mary, own La Pena. They both hail from Nashville, TN... More
