Ran out of tofu - Edit
I love this place and would come back but my meal was disappointing. I ordered one of the curries but they were out of tofu. It is not their fault, I understand there isn’t an endless supply of resources but my meal was just a small amount of broccoli, mushrooms, green beans, and a little rice in a lot of sauce. It was good but I left hungry😒

I took the advice of another review to take the TukTuk up the big hill and I’m so glad I did.
Only 3 stars just bc I have to rate based on my entree.
Pros: Great mission, Great views, Friendly
Cons: Limited supply of tofu

Great view and food - Edit
Loved finding this place. Way up the huge hill in the heart of Santa Cruz, with an amazing view overlooking the lake from on high, and tofu and vegan options, I loved this place. They even have good wifi (Starlink) and good cell reception. I saw a couple people doing work, and could easily see me joining them 🤓
Read morePros: Amazing elevated view of the lake, Great food, and tofu, Good WiFi
Cons: Definitely take a tuk tuk up the huge hill

Incredible experience supporting the local community. - Edit
This restaurant, hands down, has the best view of the lake from any restaurant I have visited all throughout Lake Atitlan. The view and the food both make this space so so special. The food was so great the first time I visited, that I came a few more times while staying 3/4 mile away. The store on the first floor of the restaurant is also incredible. The local community creates beautiful weavings. I bought several things from the shop and treasure them :]

Authentic deliousness! - Edit
We got both the local curries with tofu and horchata, which were all delicious. The tacos are great, and they can make the eggplant sandwich vegan - sub cheese for avo and the bread for tortillas. Great views and love that proceeds serve the community as well! We also did the cooking class they offer and it can't be missed!!!

Soooo good with stunning view - Edit
I had the Pepian with Tofu which was really delicious. The staff was super friendly and the view is simply stunning! It also is relatively cheap and the quality seems very high.

Simple, authentic food - Edit
Lovely authentic menu with Guatemalan dishes - many of which have been altered to be veggie or vegan. Great view overlooking the Lake and in a very quiet Santa Cruz.
