I asked "cuales son los favoritos", and the friendly answer was "Garnachas y pupusas", so we ordered those, bill was $20, got more delicious food than two of us could finish. Ask for some habanero salsa, it was great and super picante.

Note location change : now around the corner at Citgo gas station just off University.This has become a favorite takeout option in the area. Consistently good food. You'll need to bring some Spanish skills and ask about what each dish is, especially because some share a name with a *different* Mexican dish.

Los shucos!!! Cannot speak more highly of this place the food is really good, specially the shucos, authentic as they can be! Also the tortilla de harina was pretty good as well.

I am Guatemalan. Los shucos is one of the best or the best in the area. The plump ones are also rich.

Had enchiladas from here. They were okay. They should’ve been packaged in separate containers because the toppings spilled all over the place. The flavors were good except they used a bunch of potatoes in the ground beef to stretch the meat….

(Translated by Google) Shucos, mixed and flour tortillas 10/10 there are still more things to try from the menu but so far everything is delicious! If you are trying to get a taste of Guatemala I highly recommend you this spot.(Original)Shucos ,mixtas y tortillas de harina 10/10 aun quedan más cosas por probar del menú pero hasta ahora todo delicioso! If you are trying to get a taste of Guatemala I highly recommend you this spot.

Tucked on the side of Timberwood off of Colesville in the same lot as the Shell gas station. Food tasted homemade and perfectly salted. Will definitely be back for the chicharrones and ceviche. They do have two picnic tables but be wary of the heat outside! They have a parasol on one of the tables because the one on the other broke. I had to park on the street in front of a residence but only had to walk a couple feet to the truck.

(Translated by Google) I love that food.(Original)Me encanta esa comida.
Location is a bit obscure, and parking can be difficult at times.Order:Garnachas - Seems like the shells are made in house, or at least use proper tortilla for the dish. The beef was a bit underwhelming as it lacked an appropriate amount of seasoning. The curtido/escabeche/slaw was excellent. Dish came out hot. I think with the appropriate amount of seasoning, this will be a knockout!Chicharron con Yuca- The flavor profile was on point! Reminded me of trips back to visit my family. The disappointing part was texture and temperature on chicharron. Lacked the crispiness that makes this dish pop! Frankly, these do need to be par cooked as the process is very long. But hitting them with a final dunk in a deep fryer before serving will be perfect to add the texture and temp. Although I didn't get it, I highly recommend giving a squeeze of lime over the top as the acid is perfect to compliment the richness. The yucca is steamed or boiled, not fried like most are used to. But they do season with flavors that I, personally couldn't pick out. Still delicious, but may not be what you would expect.All in all, I enjoyed it and will be back to see if the garnachas were just a bad day and also to sample more of the menu! Stay tuned for more reviews.
