very bad attention

Food from the heart of Kekchi culture....attention to every mother with lots of personality.....missing delivery of the facilities and protocol details

Thank you for the wonderful service. We had Kaqik and pollo en pinol, and they were delicious. Keep going! I highly recommend it.

The food is worthless. Simply put, the prices are inflated, and I don't mind paying a lot, but please make it worth it.The kakik broth is pure water. The chile rellenos are 99% potato and 1% chicken.I will NEVER come here again.

Excellent place to try typical Guatemalan food 😋 I've tried Kak'ik and I love it! I tend to be picky, but the food is well-made and delicious. I even tried some blood sausage, which I really liked. The staff is always very friendly. Highly recommended.
