Xela Pan

For real! If you want authentic, this is the place. Opens at 6:30am for the campesinos ( #respect ) I ordered the Chapin breakfast, scrambled eggs, black beans, rice, plantains, side of cream and cheese, and 3 homemade tortillas. 😋 CASH TIP if you can. Oh and I got the cappuccino and told her to put the restaurant name on it for this post!!

Writing this review saddens me. I love this restaurant and found comfort in a consistently amazing restaurant serving food from my home of Central America with unquestionable flavor, love, and authenticity. A recent clerical error has stained the reputation of this restaurant in my eyes. I dined in the restaurant with 4 of my friends late at night and then ordered bread to go, with our total cost equaling $92. A week later, the cost shows up on my bank statement totaling $198. This is an over $100 price increase on the part of the cashier who rang us up, and is clearly not a small mistake or slip of the hand. When I called to try and resolve what I believed to be an innocent mistake, I was hung up on twice by the cashier . It appears as if the restaurant or worker does not want to take accountability for this mistake, but this is beyond excusable. I will not return to this restaurant again. Xelapan, do better. Please.

This panaderia is an amazing spot for some authentic guatemalan cuisine. The tamales which are very different than Mexican tamales were varied and delicious. Also the platanos fritos which included plantains beans cotija and crema was a wonderful bite. The cost is very affordable and the staff were wonderful. I will suggest you may want to brush up on your spanglish but in case you're not the most fluent (me) they are more than helpful to help you figure out what you're asking for.
