This place is very centrally located, just a block behind the cathedral on the main square. El Rincon Tipico is a simple kind of restaurant yet the food they serve is the best sample of local cuisine as it is both tasty and generous.
Such a cool courtyard-style dining area with tons of people (both locals and travelers) enjoying lunch. You know it’s gonna be good when the ladies are making tortillas by hand, slapping them on the comal in the entryway. Lots of good meats to try (cool that you can order them solo, just as sides to try!), and traditional dishes like pepian (every day) or jocón (just on Sundays…trust me, if you have options go on Sunday for this). Pretty cheap, super tasty. Vegetarians: there is a veggie plate which is sufficient, but it’s basic. Definitely worth going especially if you’re a meat eater and wanna try local food. It is BUSY at lunch time, but the line moves impressively quickly.

Non è il migliore sicuramente perché è tanto affolalto e poco organizzato per cosi tanta gente che viene ( locale e non)
Ogni giorno hanno dei piatti che variano e altri che rimangono per tutta la settimana.
Mi hanno fatto sedere al tavolo e dopo mi hanno chiesto di alzarmi per andare ad ordinare .
Pagamento solo cash ( evasione? Fattura? No chiaramente.)
Spero che almeno paghino bene i camerieri che comunque sono pochi per tanta gente.
Il dessert ho chiesto che me lo portino dopo perché c'erano mosche che volevano appoggiarsi sopra ma nulla
Coperto con csrta
Pagato 60
Piatto jolon + banana en mole
Cibo ok anche se non mi piace la presentazione del piatto.
Porzione senza dessert un pó troppo poco.
Ho visto dei piatti con pollo e un pó di riso e insalata.
Sicuramente stanno tendendo ad abbassare le porzioni per far pagare di piu.
Arrivare prima perche è affollato

The pollo completo was a WHOLE CHICKEN, at least a pound of roast potatoes, a salad and a cup of sauce all for Q$150 - the equivalent of USD$21.
The locals eat here, nice open sitting area and the open fire cooking the chicken and potatoes, it smells fantastic.
They speak Spanish and English and is cash only in Guatemalan currency only.
Recommending to everyone for delicious roast chicken at decent prices. Got mine to go, took 10mins from beginning to leaving.
