Antigua Restaurants

  1. El Mix

    As the name implies, there's a good mix of things on the menu here - comfort foods, Israeli dishes and a couple of Guatemalan numbers. The star of the show is the mind-boggling array of make-your-own sandwich options.

  3. La Fonda de la Calle Real

    This restaurant with three spacious branches, all in appealing colonial style, has a good, varied menu ranging from generous salads and sandwiches to grilled meats.

Other branches are located at 5a Av Norte 5 and 5a Av Norte 12. The 5a Av Norte 12 branch is a little cheaper than the others.
