Best burgers in San Pedro according to both locals and visitors. We offer a stunning rooftop patio area where you can eat and enjoy a relaxing view of the lake. Locally owned by Pedrano family.

For a place called Big Burger, you'd think ordering a burger would be safe. Ordered a cheeseburger and the pattie was charred. The cheese was the plastic square cheese. Partner ordered chips with cheese & bacon - same plastic cheese and no flavour bacon. Service was friendly. Please feel free to return your burger if it is not cooked the way you ordered! We like to please our customers.

The rooftop restaurant in Mikaso Hotel offers some stunning views of the lake. The service is very fast and efficient and the food options are numerous enough to cater to all tastes. They have a comprehensive drinks menu also. They also serve a buffet for 40Q on Saturday morning with crepes and much more!

Hospedaje y Restaurante Tul y Sol

Reviewed By Lancasterjs

I was here recently for a wedding and had a blast. The rooms are clean, comfortable, and have incredible views overlooking the restaurant onto the lake. The restaurant is cozy with great, fresh food. Of course, it also has a stunning view of the lake. The staff is very sweet, and the owner is really friendly. We were immediately made to feel right at home. I'd definitely recommend staying a few days to anyone.

Ixiim Jaay

Reviewed By eldss

This place had by far the worst food I had throughout Guatemala. A large group of us visited and we all felt cheated. I tried their ceviche and could not find any shrimp in it. It was tasteless and hardly had any meat. Others complained about the bland food and it appears that anything meat or fish related must be scarce in this restaurant. All of our plates hardly had any meats in them. The tacos were ridiculous with more onions and pepper and hardly any meat. It just seemed strange that the restaurant had a mixture of different cuisines (Guatemalan, Mexican, American?). Ironically the best tasting dish was the pizza which you wouldn’t expect in a place where you are looking for local cuisine. Do yourself a favor a keep walking for better options. Even the Tuc-Tuc drivers warned us about better dining options up the hill and we should have believed them. Prices were also higher compared to Panajachel.

Happy Tacos

Reviewed By Ellenecessities

Loved our dining experience here, the food was delicious and one of the cheapest places we found in town. Great range for vegetarians, my favourite dish was the vegetarian tacos 30GTQ such a bargain!They also show the football (soccer) which was a big plus for my partner.

Jakuu

Reviewed By WilliamThomas

Due to only having 1 server the restaurant offered very slow service, even in regards to just asking for the bill and receiving change etc. Also they allow people to smoke inside which is disgusting and not conducive to an enjoyable meal in my opinion. The place is quite dirty and the seating is uncomfortable with the place looking quite unsightly on the whole. Despite this, the food was of a good quality but an astounding quantity for what we paid!

Mayachik Vegetarian Restaurant

Enjoy local and international vegetarian and vegan dishes in a beautiful quiet setting, surrounded by a big garden. We make all our products onsite with local ingredients including from our own garden.

Reviewed By Nilslangerhans

We liked the food at Mayachik. Everyone was happy with smoothies, banana/ginger soup, guacamole, burritos and even the pizza was pretty good. Nothing fancy, but we love the all the veg options and the place had a chill vibe. That said, the lunch literally took 3 hours, which was more than we bargained for. I'd say its a great option if you're staying in one of the rooms here, but might not be so good for a casual lunch while visiting San Juan due to the long wait. The service was very friendly though so we didn't complain. The location is a little out of the way, near the road to San Pedro, but we liked that, it was an easy tuk tuk ride from anywhere.

The Clover

The Clover Restaurant offers a great variaty of nacional and internacional food, with a friendly service, in a beautiful garden with lake view.

Reviewed By Weisbear

Conveniently located in the tourist area, a big choice of international dishes. The pasta carbonara was quite good (less than 6$). It’s a restaurant with mixed local and expat staff, so Spanish and English are both fine. Nice view on the lake from the garden!

Comedor Alma de Colores

Reviewed By chey_baybee

The food was plentiful and very good for only 30Q. I had the veggie omelet and it came with additional sauteed veggies and a little bit of beans and toast with jam. Everything tasted "very good". The restaurant opens at 8:00 which is nice, but they were washing the floor with chlorox at 8:15, so everything kind of tasted like the smell of bleach. Lots of flies, but I guess I should expect that with outdoor seating, but, more flies than other outdoor Guatemala restaurants that I have been to. It is a great cause and the school does support good projects. The service was GREAT. I would go again, but later in the day.
