Sushi Bar in Zona 10 Guatemala City
Having grown up in a very divesre community, I very much enjoy having a varied diet. Guatemala is not full of too great of a variety of international cuisine, unless of course you are in La Antigua Guatemala or Guatemala City.

Authentic Mexican Food at Los Cebollines in Guatemala City
Los Cebollines is part of a small chain of Mexican eateries with a number of locations in Guatemala, El Salvador, Costa Rica and Honduras.

As a Gringo, upon arriving in a new city, one of the things on my list of things to do is locate the best pizza in town. As far as La Antigua goes, Quesos Y Vinos has got my vote.
