That shrimp and Bacon Burrito is undefeated

Back in August, my girlfriend and I were traveling through Antigua for a couple days and our Airbnb host invited us to a restaurant. Up until the last day we couldn't make time so we went before we left. When I tell you I was...BLOWN away by the burrito, I honestly shed a few tears when I had to go. Amazing staff and wonderful environment in general. 110% would recommend and we honestly cant wait to come back to Antigua.More

Best Shrimp and Bacon Tacos in Town

The tacos, burritos, margaritas, and more are always excellent! This is one of the top spots I recommend to friends and family when they visit Antigua. You can't beat the food, warm atmosphere, and live music!

Excellent burrito but ...

We loved the shrimp and bacon burrito but found the salsas and chips lacking in flavor. And we didn't love paying extra for them. It's a bit touristy but still relatively inexpensive.

Fantastic food in a small, lively bar!

Found this place during our wanderings, noticed their sign for fish tacos. Had the fish marinated in beer and mustard, carrot cream soup, and fish burrito. The food was fresh-tasting and delicious, the service was excellent, and the setting comfortable for such a small place....Prices are very reasonable. Not to be missed if you like tacos.More

My favorite eatery in Antigua

By now, I think I have had every single thing on the menu! Tacos, enchiladas, mezcal drinks, burritos, fries...and each and every time the food comes freshly made, hot and perfect. This is my favorite spot in Antigua, which is a lot considering the huge...number of restaurants in Antigua.More

Flavorful Tacos in Lively Setting!

I was craving some spice so I wandered into this small establishment. Every square inch of the place appeared to be efficiently utilized. I ordered the shrimp tacos seasoned with chipotle sauce. Four open faced soft tacos arrived with slices of fresh avocado on top....Mixed with the three accompanying spicy sauces, the tacos kicked a punch. The shrimp were juicy and flavorful and the regular margaritas were the perfect accompanying beverage. The staff was friendly, happy and attentive. The overhead music was upbeat and fun. I shall return to try other items on the menu.More
