• Amazing Baba Ganoush & Pita, etc.

This place is crazy expensive, but Antigua seems to be out of control expensive, and the food was incredible. We got the Samsara platter (65Q) and the sweet potato tortilla (42Q) and both were quite good. The baba ganoush was the MVP, but the quinoa balls and the salad that came with the tortilla were also excellent. Pita was also unbelievably soft and delicious. Really, the food was incredible, better than much of what we get back in NYC, and that's saying a lot. I also got the special coffee drink with cardomom, cacao, etc, whatever that is called and loved it, but my wife bitter-faced. It took a long time, even by Guatemalan standards, and the dishes came at very different times, which was fine for us, but it would be a bummer if you weren't sharing. The style of the cafe is great and they seem to have solved the problem of people asking for money at the window that someone was complaining about. They put chicken wire around the bars so it would be impossible to give money through the window. It was a bit of an annoyance to see them add 10% tip when it was just two people, but this seems to be the norm in obnoxiously touristic areas in Guatemala. Oh well, it just means they get less tip than I'd have otherwise given.
