This is a 1 time visit kinda place. Stopped by on a whim for a very late lunch and lite dinner. The food was hit or miss. I bought a miloja (sweets) while waiting for my order it tasted fine. My boyfriend and I showed up around 5 p.m. on a Wednesday. The place was empty on both the bar and restaurant side. Scantily clad female servers some of them anyway, more tips if you were short shorts? Most importantly look at the receipt !!!Come to find out there are no free refills on coffee. Also, asked for sour ceam our waitress said they dont offer it. It was replaced with a tiny container of crema for $2.00. Tostada is salty and sopa de res my boyfriend said was watered down.I understand times are tough but if you upcharge a 1st time customer dont expect them to return Sneaky/shady serving practices never mentioned pay for every litlte item. Total for lite dinner $46.00 including tip, felt a little scammed but tipped 20 % anyway.
I ordered some chicken from there. And the chicken was not done. There was so much blood in the chicken. I just threw it away. I was so mad I just didn’t want to go back . So I threw it away. And I know for sure me and mine will never go there AGAIN! Period
I been going for many times and I enjoy the service and food but is over craw it I even the small dance floor is full with table wen I ask the owner why the answer I had that “ not tonight “That was the only answer he gave me and walk away is small please for so many peopleHe is only thinking of making money and notA good place to be “ money hungry is what he is

Amazing place, good food and exelente entertainment
Yummy yummy Guatemalan food! Their Enchiladas are delicious!
If you wanted just eat good place, but if you wanted to buy pastry, or bread the waitress or cashier just ignore you Ill been there couple times waiting 5 to 10 min ???? Just to buy bread???.
Excellent flavor
Probably some of the most authentic Guatemalan food Ive had outside of Guatemala.The restaurant itself is kind of tucked away inside an unassuming shopping center and with a name like Tikal Bakery, you wouldnt really expect this place to offer anything but bread.While they do have a running bakery, they also offer a wide selection of hispanic food options.I ended up ordering steak fajitas which came out hot and sizzling with 3 tortillas, guacamole, mashed beans, lettuce, sour cream and sautéed peppers and onions.The meat was seasoned deliciously and cooked very well, making it very flavorful.Overall, the meal itself was absolutely delicious and pretty affordable. I believe I paid about $10-12 for mine which, in comparison with some of the other restaurants in the area, is pretty reasonable.I will say, the restaurant feels a little sketchy. Not that theres anything wrong happening inside it, but its a little dirty, dimly lit and just feels kind of run down. If youve ever been to an authentic restaurant in a hispanic country like Guatemala or Cuba, it feels very similar to that.Our service was pretty good, though we were one of only three parties in the restaurant, so they werent particularly busy. Ill also mention that our waiter didnt speak great English. This wasnt a problem and we were able to communicate everything we wanted without a problem, but things could get difficult if you needed to make more complicated edits to your order.Other than that, I really enjoyed my experience here.I have some friends from Guatemala and they say this is, without a doubt, the most authentic Guatemalan restaurant in the area and its definitely worth checking out.
Amazing, great taste
The food here is amazing...best kept secret in annandale period. Highly recommend!
I used to go to that place 2-3 a week because food is good but I stopped going because a waitress tried twice to overcharge me thinking that I was drunk, and when I complained to the owner, he took her side.and dont drink expensive drinks there because they marry the Whiskey and the tequila with cheap licor all the time
Always the spot to come get LIT
I dont know what this place sells. I dont know what I ordered here and ate this morning. But it was great!
Cool place to have few drinks and some good Karaoke!!!!!!
Good sopa
When you say pork chops. Then give me pork chops. Not some slices of pork
My mom and dad work there
Rude staff. Owner/Chef? Threatened to have my car towed for being in a fire lane (it wasn’t). Came back later and another vehicle was in my old spot, not being towed.This whole area sucks.
The food is super flavorful and the portions are pretty big. I definitely recommend this place instead of the countless and tasteless Salvadoran-Mexican restaurants around the DC area. Go for this tasty Chapín restaurant with the friendly staff and you wont be disappointed!
Is good place
The food was good, but not super tasty. Prices are ok
They have great pastries but the awful service makes me regret to come here! Came before closing and the rude lady was mopping and ignored me they were not closed yet the open sign was on and the door was open no excuses.
Food is great, clean and beautiful ladies from Guatemala......
Very nice service and wonderful food!
Food is pretty good, service is ok
Their soups are just the best
Service is horrible! After waiting 20 minutes for a to-go order I ask for a refund the woman was very rude to me and refuse to give me a refund claiming that this is not McDonalds ! after a total of 40 minutes I received my SALAD. Never coming back!!

Buen servicio.Calidad de cicina.
Los precios demasiado caro para la comida que venden toda la carne es dura creo que tienen que comprar buena carne no algo que no sirve y creo que los cosineros deben probar la comida antes de servir al cliente
