Restaurante Las Calas
An artistic sort of place with lilies growing in the patio and lily-themed art on the walls (and a gallery in the back), Las Calas serves good medium-priced meals. Satisfying portions of chicken, fish or beef are creatively prepared and served with a unique salsa picante. This restaurant also features cheaper vegetarian dishes and a daily regional specialty.

Café Sagrado Corazón
This is an excellent place for Guatemalan home cooking. Regional specialties such as pepian and jocom are often on the menu, but there's always fried chicken and grilled beef as fallbacks. Meals are truly filling, coming with soup, tamalitos, rice, potatoes, avocado and salad.

Food Stalls
Quetzaltenango has a good selection of places to eat in all price ranges. Cheapest are the food stalls in and around the small market to the left of the Casa de la Cultura, where snacks and main-course plates are sold for around US$1 or less.

Casa Babylon
With the widest menu in town, the Babylon is a travelers' favorite. Dishes run from big, tasty sandwiches to Guatemalan classics such as pepian, to more exotic fare such as fondue and Middle Eastern choices.

C
Casa Antigua
An excellent, tranquil spot right in the middle of downtown. Sandwiches are big, chunky affairs and there's plenty of steaks flame-grilling out front.

Utz Hua
Delicious, authentic Guatemalan and Quetzalteco dishes for equally yummy prices. The restaurant is well (if slightly frantically) decorated, and it's worth stopping by to check out the indoor thatched roof, if nothing else.
