Utz Food I Bar & Restaurante

Todo utz! Utz Foods Restaurant is a great spot in San Juan La Laguna for a delicious lunch or dinner with a beautiful view of Lake Atitlán. If available, I highly recommend grabbing a table on the second level, where you get one of the best views of the lake.

I had a glass of wine with the puyazo dish and asked for the meat to be cooked medium. The food was delicious, and the meat was cooked to perfection. It paired really well with the wine, the lake view, and the relaxed atmosphere.

The restaurant is also just a short walk from the pier, which makes it very convenient if you are arriving by boat or walking around town. From the restaurant, you can also get a great view of the main street, where it feels like so much of the energy of San Juan happens.

The staff was super accommodating and made the experience even better. There is also a small store inside the restaurant where you can buy souvenirs, which is a nice bonus. Overall, this is a great place to enjoy good food, good service, and a beautiful view while visiting San Juan La Laguna.

Talk about delicious seafood! The fried fish was excellent and cerviche was an excellent portion size with great flavour. I appreciated the tortilla chips on the side. Good view and huge amount of seating available. Wonderful staff and incredibly fast service.

Come for the ambiance, stay for the food.

I love the vibe of this restaurant with its beautiful decor. It also has an upper deck that overlooks the lake. We ordered the fried fish and chorizo mixed plate, which were both good, but they weren’t out of this world good. Service was excellent.

What a lovely spot, right off the main street in San Juan. It has 2 sitting areas, downstairs is colorful and airy - upstairs too, but with a nice view of the lake.

Great price/quality balance, they have alternatives for all dietary needs. They also carry a great craft beer selection, do try one of the many options by Antigua Cervecería.

Additionally they also have a cute souvenir shop downstairs with beautiful wooden carved birds, hangers made with beads and textiles. Super friendly staff too!

The atmosphere is pretty nice but not very peaceful because of the cars and tuktuks.
They brought both apetizer and main course at the same time which does not make sense. The fish was pretty bad- avoid it, I ate just half of it.
Overall average as the service if pretty slow
