Our History
Our story began in Antigua, Guatemala, with my family business, where I learned the importance of using original ingredients to cook my favorite regional dishes. Since then, I’ve always dreamed of bringing authentic Guatemalan cuisine to Austin.
In 2016, we started as a small take-out restaurant on Payton Gin and Lamar. We were fortunate to find a new location that can now host 65 customers with plenty of parking. My dream of bringing the taste of Guatemalan food has come alive. We welcome all nationalities to learn about our culture through our food. Bring the whole family!
We are a business with purpose
We have always thought of our business to have a greater purpose, being involved and helping our community is important to us.

Reviews

Amazing food and wonderful service! I had never tried Guatemalan cuisine before discovering this hidden gem, and now I find myself coming back every week. Everyone who works here is so kind and genuine, and every dish we’ve tried has been absolutely delicious. My personal favorites are the beef tacos, tamal, and fried plantains, but I’m excited to work my way through their extensive menu. The prices are great, the portions are generous, and the whole experience is just fantastic.
This is my fourth time here, and the food is so yummy and homelike!
It has been consistent each and every time. Pics are from the most recent visit and the one prior to that 😛 (food is from the "traditional cravings/antojitos" portion of the menu).
Had an amazing meal at Rinconcito Chapin! I ordered the chile rellenos, and wow—everything was packed with so much flavor. But the real star? The tortillas. So fresh, so fluffy, absolutely perfect.
Loved that they also have a little panadería and a nice selection of postres. Plus, the little gift shop section is a cool touch—lots of fun Guatemalan goodies to check out. Definitely a spot worth visiting if you’re craving authentic Guatemalan food!
Great lunch special too
I had never had Guatemalan food before and it was fabulous! The chicken was just right, beans were excellent, and homemade tortillas. We will be back for sure!
My wife is from Guatemala and you always look for authentic Guatemalan restaurants. And I must say this is one of the best we have found since she's been here for 3 years.. when I drank the atole It took me back to when we were on the streets of Guatemala in the Antigua drinking it at night with an amazing atmosphere. I highly recommend this restaurant
