Charming welcome, discreet music, nice room at the back overlooking the kitchen: here is a good little establishment that offers classics like miso soup, maki, ramen, gyoza, tempura, udon and teriyaki. We particularly recommend the tuna poke, which is absolutely delicious - however, the sashimi leaves something to be desired.

The indescribable Seko opened this unique restaurant in 2007, only one month after leaving Japan for San Marcos. A surprising address, made of bricks and mortar with a space dedicated to the sale of all kinds of objects, from fur vests to Venetian masks, like a thrift store.

After meeting his wife - a Guatemalan woman - in France, Angelo, a young Italian retiree, decided to settle in the Petén with her.

He prepares his own bread, but above all, his pasta and pizzas, which are absolutely delicious. Angelo is an expert on the area and will be happy to share his knowledge with you if you ask.

The small, sunny courtyard of this beautifully decorated restaurant offers a respite from the crowds of the market, just a stone's throw from the church of Santo Tomás.

The house has only a few vegetarian alternatives, such as the vegetable plate, served with plantains, guacamole, beans, rice and tortilla.

With a beautiful patio, this oasis in the heart of the city is ideal for an excellent dinner - or lunch, if you're just passing through - in an intimate atmosphere. The specialty: Argentinean-style barbecue. However, there are a number of alternatives, including pasta, whose plates are as delicious as they are copious. Special mention should be made of the lasagna and chicken fettuccine, which are a real treat. Don't forget the homemade desserts, displayed in a tempting window at the entrance of the restaurant. The icing on the cake is the quality of the service.

If it is possible to have breakfast or a sweet break during the day, we recommend this address for lunch: it would be too bad not to try one of its delicious sandwiches or burritos. Special mention to the "French " for the thick and melting Swiss cheese that is slipped into it. The desserts, the brownie in particular, are also superb. The pretty and bright room is decorated with many plants and is very relaxing. Let's not forget the excellent coffee, roasted by the establishment and that you can buy in bags before leaving.

This Mexican restaurant opened its doors a few steps from the Arco de Santa Catalina in 1995. Several reasons explain its frequentation. First of all, the modernity of the place, decorated with care and paying homage to the artist Frida Kahlo, through the portraits hung here and there. The atmosphere, also, quite festive in the evening. Finally, the good food, among which the tacos are the most popular. The most popular are the "sonora con queso", cooked in charcoal with homemade flour tortillas, topped with guacamole, melted cheese and pico de gallo.
