Empanadas de Paco

Restaurant

👍👍 My girlfriend and I found this place wondering around Antigua. The smell and the music are what attracted us to it and I’m so glad it did because we had amazing empeñadas and quesadillas with a nice beer over candlelight.

A Ver Quien Soy Café

Cafeteria

👍👍 Love so many things about this place. It’s a hip coffee shop with good coffee. The owners and staff are great. They have live music on weekends. And it’s chill, good vibes here. I love their mango mora smoothie, their veggie burrito bowl and their banano Nutella crepe. Not everyone can get a crepe...

Cuscun - Cooking School, Tours & Workshops

Cooking class

👍👍 One of the best experiences of our entire trip! The rooftop is stunning, the food was amazing, and the guides were so helpful and great. It’s pretty much impossible to find Guatemalan food like this in a restaurant here in Antigua. We will be back!

Casa ELA

Bed & breakfast

👍👍 I highly recommend staying there. We only stayed 2 nights, but spent a lovely evening with Alvaro and Lupita on their gorgeous terrace drinking wine and watching the Fuego erupting. It truly felt like a second home in Antigua. I wish we could have stayed longer.
