This little restaurant is hidden behind a bar. The menu is simple but has enough variety to suit everyone, from vegetarian dishes to meat and prawns.
We ordered vegetarian spring rolls to start, stir-fried broccoli, Pad Thai with prawns, and a prawn curry. The total bill came to 225 QZ. The flavors were good overall — my favorite dish was the stir-fried broccoli: simple, but really tasty.
The décor is basic, but the service was friendly and quick. It’s a small place with around 7–8 tables and clearly loved by locals, so it’s a good idea to come early. If you’re traveling solo, sharing a table is common — I saw a few solo travelers doing so.
Important: payment is cash only.

I had the Pad Thai with shrimp and the spring rolls. It was my favorite thing I ate in Panajachal for a week. I liked it so much that I came the next day for lunch to have the pad Thai again. Friendly, welcoming service too. A nice change of pace from the asadors and churssacitos all over town.

Best Pad Thai I’ve had outside of Thailand! The chef is Thai, the site is simple, the pad thai was truely delicious and authentic. Plus: the portion is HUGE and fuels the backpacker’s stomach well after a day of exploring! Just go for it

Wow, absolutely wonderful food and great vibes from the staff!
The Panang Curry and Pad Kra Pao were both amazing! We asked for extra spicy and they delivered in kind! Highly recommend!

The staff were so friendly and food tasted delish but annoyingly gave my boyfriend food poisoning from the Pad Thai he has been so ill the last 2 days. I had the green curry, again was delish and I was fine.

Maybe this is considered not bad Thai food for Guatemala. It’s definitely not great. The reviews are incredibly generous so maybe I came with too high expectations.
Would be considered meh-to-bad in places with good Thai food food. I got the Penang Curry with chicken for Q60. Came with good amount of meat and veggies. Food came incredibly fast though.
I came in with a water bottle and they told me I couldn’t drink it. I was the only person in the restaurant the entire time. Midway through the meal, I said I was going to drink my water outside and then the waitress said I could drink at my table but then the cook later said I couldn’t again.

Excellent pad Thai! We both ordered chicken and the sauce and medium heat level were perfect. Service was quick and we found the pricing fair for the portion and quality of the food. Don’t hesitate to dine here

I ordered the green curry here, and it was surprisingly good! It’s not quite like having it in Thailand, but it comes close. The ladies running the place are really nice, and I love that everything on the menu is the same price, 60 quetzales. A great spot for a tasty and affordable Thai meal in Panajachel!

Fantastic food! Perhaps my favorite meal in Pana. I got the Pad Thai con Pollo and my husband got the Broccoli Stir Fry con Pollo. Both excellent! Medium spicy was pretty hot and we’re used to spicy food.

I’m currently sitting in the restaurant, and I have been searching for Thai food, similar to Thailand since 2023. This is the best yet! I had the Stir-Fry Yellow Curry and it was phenomenal. Highly recommend if you are looking for Thai food.
