Amazing Guatemalan food! Loved it here! Great ambience & atmosphere. Beautiful interior decor with so much color and life. Place is tight though. Inside and outside dining available. Loved the cardamom cocoa, but wasn't a fan of the iced chai. Got one of the most recommended soups. The soup/stew was devine! The green eggs sandwich was delicious! The service was a little slow but definitely will return & Highly recommend.

Got hungry walking through the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, went to Google to get to a good sit-down eatery, found this. What a treat! The reviews are spot on- the Pepian was superb, but the Jocon was amazing and stole the show. The hot chocolate was just the right balance is sweetness. The lavender hot chocolate was a nice twist to the old recipe. We finished with a round of rosemary churros - perfect ending!

The flavors of this restaurant are so new and fresh to me. It makes me want to go to Guatemala immediately. The soups are out of control delicious. If you’re dining with another person and you can each order a different soup and ask them to divide it and you can try two. I’ve tried all the soups now and always go with the same person. The tres leche is probably the best I’ve ever had. So so good.

This place is all love. Need to come back with a few others to enjoy more of the menu. Everything was good; even the drip coffee. They care about every little detail in the food, service and atmosphere. Winner!

A taste of home away from home, a hidden gem in the area; this authentic Guatemalan restaurant with Mayan dishes is the best spot to stop before and after your Prospect park stroll. Gotta try all the different types of hot chocolate, each with a unique flavor. Grab one of their flavorful stews when hungry, or a well elaborated egg dish when starting your day. The taste of everything in this place is to die for. And don't forget to cheers with the very friendly staff with a cold Famosa, known as Gallo in Guatemala.

Good place. The pepian soup let the cinnamon, cardamom, cumin, pumpkin, and chicken stand on their own. Highly recommend. The ründstuck sliders had a pernil too dry for me. The tortilla de huevos had the kind of egg that is really fluffy and wide with crisp on both sides, which you either think is fun or think is weird. I think it's fun. Coffee was good as well. The ambience is so cool, very much an inviting place to eat and socialize.

Ix is definitely one of my top picks in Brooklyn. I've been here so many times because their soups are like comfort food for my soul. The broth has such depth, and the portions are always generous. Don't forget to try their toasted chili oil; it really elevates the flavors.

Ix is the best Guatemalan food I’ve ever tasted outside of Guate (and my family’s cooking). The paches are flavorful with a wonderful texture and served with slices of white bread (that’s how we eat them at my house). Definitely order the chuchitos if you’re looking for a denser tamalito to eat with crema (their spin on it with horseradish is beyond tasty). Even their sandwiches served with toasted pumpkin seeds are delicious. You won’t regret it. The vibes here are immaculate with lovely decor, really fun live music, and excellent service. Make sure to end your meal with a cafecito (I had a cappuccino that was delicious even unsweetened) and a rellenito. I love it here and can’t wait to go back the next time I visit New York!

You will not be disappointed! Service is excellent and the food is simply amazing, very flavorful. I also had the hot chocolate and it was the best ever. Worth every penny.

The soups are hearty and delicious. Definitely will be coming back to try more of the menu.

Great place, love that they have so many non alcoholic options and also great regular drinks. Food was also very good, and very friendly servers. We will be going back!

Great food. A little slow when busy but awesome drink selection

My favorite restaurant in this district. Very tasty food, well presented and always fresh. I have been here many times and always is the some , very nice service and always able to help with choosing dishes. I recommend sangria with a very rich flavor and not to sweet. For everyone who hasn't been here yet a must come .

Out of our five day restaurant experience in NYC this one was by far most memorable. The menu's words don't do the food justice as it's complex flavors and fragrances unfold in your palate. As a family of four we had two sandwiches, pancakes and one soup, as well one desert, coffee and hot chocolate. All items were exceptional in their delivery. The coffee was bold, full bodied but not burned like a French roast, the hot cocoa deserves a visit all on its own, the food was simply great in all aspects, flavor, the satiety it provided, and the feeling of quality. The staff was responsive, friendly, and fun.

Food was good and service was pleasant. The way they will calculate the bill is bit upsetting. 85 bucks for two sandwiches and two frozen margaritas in a tiny glass plus tip is just bit too much. On the menu frozen margaritas are listed for 7 bucks, frozen flavored margaritas are 5 bucks more. On my bill frozen flavored margarita was over 16 bucks. Bit too much for a small glass where half of it is just a foam.

I definitely have to say - it's a very special place to visit - flavors and was a plus ... and their decorations create a very Guatemalan environment ** pepian + jokon + and hilachas ** they were amazing

I think their more authentic Guatemalan or Mayan food might have been better, but the chicken and waffles I got for brunch were just okay. The chicken tasted like it could have been reheated frozen tenders. The cocoa drink was good though!

Ix is such an amazing place to dine, I spoke to the owner who is very humble and kind, he wanted to start ix as a Mexican restaurant but eventually slowly introduced it as a Guatemalan cuisine. I have to say that their food is very tasteful! Their chocolate drink is to die for! I had them put ice since it was summer in New York and I needed a cold drink but not frozen slushy, they are very accommodating to my request. All the staff are very welcoming and respectful, definitely a must go if you want to try authentic Guatemalan food in Brooklyn!

I Definitely recommend getting the jocón. It’s a bangin chicken stew that is so large, it could feed two people. It has a little acidity from the tomatillos and nuttiness from the pumpkin seeds. You should Definitely ask for the hot sauce on the side. I ended up buying a container to go cause it was that good. I can’t wait to come back here to try more of their soups and hot chocolates especially in the wintertime. The prices are affordable and the food is delicious

Great little spot! It’s perfect for a quiet, weekday breakfast or brunch on the weekends with family/friends. So far, I’ve been there twice and have liked everything I tried. This evening, I enjoyed some live music, over appetizers and sangria, with my niece and her family. Very relaxing atmosphere.

I'm thrilled to give this small Guatemalan cafe restaurant a 5-star review! The food here is simply outstanding, offering a delightful and unique experience for brunch. The diverse Guatemalan flavors and dishes bring a refreshing change to the usual brunch options. The cozy ambiance and attentive service make it a perfect spot to relax and enjoy a delicious meal. From traditional Guatemalan breakfast items to mouthwatering specialties, this cafe has it all. If you're looking to explore something different and delicious for brunch, I highly recommend giving this hidden gem a try!

This place has my heart forever. Food is made with love and intention besides being delicious. They also have a cacao bar 😍😍🤍

All day cafe. Filled with beautiful art and warm and cozy vibes. I enjoyed the ginger and cayenne cacao as well as the Jocon. Everything was so good. I will be back to try more of the menu and enjoy the space. Thank you

Absolutely love the food here! Can’t wait to try more things on the menu. We shared the melted cheese, which sounds kind of basic but was sinfully good, and the hot figs with goat cheese which was also absolutely delicious. The zingy salad was generous and fresh as well, and a nice balance to the decadent appetizers.

Get the Jocon stew! Then come back and try the Caldo stew. So delicious and flavorful, there’s nothing else like it. The special cinnamon / almond hot chocolate is also worth the trip 🤤

Really fantastic, fresh and hot food. Cacao is absolutely divine and melts in your mouth in a wonderful chocolatety goodness. The beans they serve at the beginning and the melted cheese is fantastic too

Amazing place with delicious Guatemalan food. Loved the beer and the margaritas. The murals and pictures on the wall really give the feel of the country as well. Highly recommend.

Delicious coffee and the food great. The inside is beautiful, but I sat outside to enjoy the nice day.

One of my favorite places in NYC. The service is lovely and the food is fantastic. The chips that they bring out with every order are lovely. Their sandwiches are great, my favorite is the French onion dip. And the chicken dinner... absolutely amazing. There's more than enough food to bring some home for lunch tomorrow. But the real standout is the drinking chocolate. If you haven't had drinking chocolate before... you're in for a treat. Totally unique, totally delicious, like hot chocolate but a million times better. I'd recommend getting the children's size to start off, unless you're splitting with a friend. Also, it can be a bit difficult to find, since it's under an overhang. But just look for the jaguar mural, the restaurant is worth it.

Ordered the Pepian for delivery as a sick day pick me up and it was perfect. Full of flavor and spices and on request, the team even threw in a complimentary serving of their signature spicy chili oil and some steamed tortilla to mop the bowl. The portion was generous and will last me at least two servings. If you’re a fan of mole, the Pepian will be right up your alley! I also love the frozen lime and tamarind slushie…cannot wait for summer to swing back around so I can indulge!

The environment was beautiful and the menu had a nice variety of options. Tried their warmed wine and found that it had anise, cinnamon and an orange slice — tasted so good! I’d ordered one of the soups and it was full of flavor and reminded me of the foods I’d have growing up. Can’t wait to visit again!

Arrived with a large party of 10 and this cozy vibrant spot did NOT disappoint. The food was authentic, delicious and plated lovely. Flavor profile was cilantro and acid based which being Guatemalan tasted just like home this is a spot you should not miss. All in all a great dining experience from apps to meals to the mixed drinks, teas and hot chocolate. *chefs kiss*

This food is unique and heart-warming. Kind people and comfy restaurant. If you are looking for great cappuccinos with Italian strength and smoothness, you'll find it here.

Good hot chocolate. Fair price

so much flavor!!! hilachas and jocon 💯

Got the Caldo Ix and Pepian which were both great. The Caldo Ix is similar to a chicken noodle soup base with rice, vegetables, and chicken. The Pepian was smoky and paired well with the hot sauce. I also got the Ix Cacao which was rich and not too sweet — the size and taste was worth the price IMO.

Best Guatemalan cafe that has real cocoa in house I ordered my son a cacao frappe and it was so good i wanted more. It taste fresh not artificial plus they have all kinds of cocoa drinks!!

One of THE most tremendous restaurants in Brooklyn/NYC. The hospitality is 🔥. The flavorful food and decor transports you well beyond our boroughs & borders to a rich and joyous dining experience, where even just for a meal, you are transported to the lush, delicious, best of the best, in a land far away. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sprint, don't run! The truffle corn is bae. The soups are naughty. The honey fig balsamic reduction omelet is a grandslam.

Well done! From the rosemary hot chocolate to the churros to the apple crumble - everything was perfect taste wise and presentation. Haven't gone down for dinner but the place seemed packed with ppl. Definitely coming back here!

I think the best thing about the food scene in NY the availability of cuisines that are common to other major cities. This Guatemalan restaurants a prime example of showcasing the range of flavors it countries cuisine provides. The stew show here boasted so much flavor & was perfect for my hangover too. Fyi ask for the hot sauce & if you like it, buy it for $6 just like I ended up doing

Best Guatemalan Food ! I drove 1 hour and a half just to come here. Great and friendly staff. Delicious food, recommended 100%

Delicious lunch. Hot sauce was perfect to add a few drops. Spicy but super flavorful. Pepian was excellent.
