GUATEMALAN, SEAFOOD
(Calle Marcos Sánchez Díaz; mains Q60-100; 8am-9pm; ) This place enjoys the best location of
any restaurant in town, and profits go to the Asociación Ak' Tenemit
( www.aktenamit.org ) , an NGO with several projects in the area. There's a wide range of
seafood, homemade pasta, curries and other dishes on the menu, including a very good
tapado (Q100).
Most of the waiters here are trainees in a community sustainable tourism development
scheme, so service can be sketchy, but forgivable.

infused with herbs. It's said to have medicinal as well as recreational properties.
