Located on the very busy Calle Santander in Panajachel, Parrillada Atitlán is great for people watching. As far as food, they fall on the reasonably priced scale for what you get. And if all you expect is decent service and a full plate of comida típica cooked well, whether that’s churrasco, chicken, fish, or even pasta, this might be your place.
Parrillada Atitlán is a casual, good-value restaurant with generous portions and a menu that ranges from grilled and fried fish to breakfast and simple lunch specials.
Whole fish is one of the recurring highlights, particularly fried or grilled preparations. Lunch deals, breakfast plates, and chow mein also receive positive mentions, with the food generally judged solid and filling rather than refined.
Service and pricing are usually favorable, though one diner reported being charged twice. Another review notes that a 10% tip may already be included, so checking the bill is sensible.
Good for a good price, roughly $8-12 CAD per person. Came here for dinner and lunch

Relatively good deals on their lunch menu (35Q). I had the meat lasagna and it came with steamed veggies, guacamole, garlic bread and soup. Not the best food you’ll have in your life but it certainly filled and satisfied me.

Decided to try this place off the whim. Great choice! I was craving a whole fried fish and it was delicious and for only 35Q. The drinks are large which is why they cost almost the same as the food but well worth it. If you want to share one it may be better. Their bathrooms were clean and working. Great time.

I really liked the food and the portion for the price. Guatemala is expensive and portions small even comparing to many countries in Europe, so I definitely recommend it.
