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
I had a wonderful experience at this restaurant. The service was very nice, and the entire place was extremely clean—including the bathrooms, which I always appreciate.
Our server, Amanda, was amazing: very friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu. She made great recommendations and truly made us feel welcome.
I’m so excited to finally have a place that offers genuine Guatemalan food. The flavors are authentic, the ingredients are high quality, and everything was delicious. They even have live marimba music every Sunday from noon to 3 PM,l. During the time my husband and I visited, they played soft marimba music it made the experience extra special and nostalgic.
They also offer fresh-baked Guatemalan sweet bread and French bread, along with a great selection of frozen goodies. Everything feels thoughtfully made and very authentic.
I highly recommend this place to anyone, especially to those who want to try Guatemalan food for the first time or to anyone who is Guatemalan and missing the real taste of home. This is a genuine place with excellent food, great service, and a warm atmosphere.
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.
El Riconcito is an authentic Guatemalan restaurant featuring many items on their menu.
The portions are large and I especially loved their aguas frescas (the mango was delicious) and the Garnachas con Camaron.
Delicious food, as a Guatemalan-American I was delighted to find such an authentic place, wanted to order everything but I will definitely be back to slowly try it all! Thank you for great service and food 🙂
Very good taste of Central American food with excellent service. The coffee really shines with the Caldo de pollo.
