You won't be disappointed

I am pretty used to Vegetarian restaurants in Seattle. Rey Sol would be a place I would regularly go to if it was in Seattle. It was quite a surprise to find a place so nice and with diverse food choices in downtown Guatemala City.

While they have a menu, I always picked my meals from their cafeteria-style choices and was never disappointed. I adjusted my schedule to eat a late lunch there and skip dinner.

Pros: good value, good selection, attractive inside

Oasis!

Two of them, actually, as there are two locations not far from each other. I loved both, though I sometimes ended up arriving just as they were closing. It's a bit sad seeing what they have to put up with but they really brighten downtown with their presence. Friendly owners and big, tasty portions... seek this place out!

Pros: huge portions, friendly, old-school
Cons: closes early, square unsafe after dark

Fantastic Place

Part of it is that I had just suffered through days of variations of bread and salad at a conference where the eating places didn't know what to do with vegetarians, but I would have been delighted with this place in any event. The menu was fantastic with a good variety of foods, the cafeteria-style food was fantastic, and the portions were larger than expected -- I'm afraid I over-ate at the first meal, and learned to adjust later. We went there four times in July, 2009, which was every lunch and dinner time we had available. They also had fantastic cakes and pies for desserts, and separately sold whole-wheat baked goods (cinnamon rolls, veg and tofu stuffed croissant, sweet-potato-and-pineapple turnover) that allowed us to buy a couple more meals for the Sunday on which they were closed. It is a bright and cheerful place and the staffpeople were all quite friendly. This is a place that's definitely worth going out of the way for.

Pros: excellent food, healthy cuisine, friendly staff

I ate here with some friends when we were in Guatemala for a few days. The restaurant is very bright and colorful making it a pleasure to be in the room. The food is served cafeteria style, and everything is very colorful and looks great, making it difficult to choose. They also had watermelon juice. Everything was delicious. I ordered everything that was vegan, and I took a picture of my food because it was so nice and colorful, and it was a great experience eating here! I wanted badly to return before leaving Guatemala, but it did not work out. I highly recommend this place to anyone who lives in or will be visiting guatemala city!!!!!!!!!!!! They also had a good amount of seating that was able to accomodate our large group, and it's located i think right in the center of the city, near gov't buildings, so it's convenient for tourism. Try it out and let us all know what you think! Also, I think i remember a local friend saying that the menu varies daily, so i won't recommend anything, but i'm sure it's delicious every day!

Pros: Good Location, Great food, Colorful/easy ordering/fast
