Antigua Restaurants

  1. Cuevita de las Urquizas

    Sumptuous tipico food is the draw here, all kept warming in earthenware pots out front - a very dirty trick as the smells wafting out are impossible to go past. Hugely popular with locals, it's worth getting here early to avoid waiting for a table.
