Mi Guatemala Restaurant - Latin American Near Me - Providence, Rhode Island

Having been to Guatemala many times I love their cuisine, especially the black bean purée. I have had more than my fair share of black bean and no place perfected like in Guatemala. Saying that my friend took me here I was pleasantly surprised. We had an array of dishes, including, the pupusa and the breakfast platter and every single dish was excellent and very well-made. The best of it is that the black beans that came with the breakfast platter that the excellent beans I had in Guatemala. I have lots of people from all races dining on this excellent food Prices were very good There is only street parking. If I'm back in the area, I would love to come back here. Each table has a different map of Guatemala. I was trying to find the places I've been. read more

Recently we had dinner at Mi Guatemala again....the Churrasquito is still my favorite dish....it comes with rice, black beans, salad and tortillas (I asked for ripe plantains instead). The dish was really tasty, unfortunately, the ripe plantains were not ripe nor sweet...what a let down. They do offer complementary chips and salsa to start, the spicy one is really spicy, so be careful if you can not handle spice...Scoville scale warning.....LOL... The Churrasquito was $16.99, still a good deal for all you get....some friends got the Camarones Empanizados and the Mojarra frita and both loved their seafood dishes... Merary was our server and she was sweet, efficient and very pleasant. Small private lot to park, but lots of street parking in front of the restaurant. read more

Don't even think about it to hard, this place is worth trying ! Food/Drink: First of all a place that has complimentary chips and salsa is a place for me, and they give spicy and mild salsa! Delicious! The food is to die for specially the churasco which btw they offer a mini size aswell. It comes with a soup, salad to start ! Then they bring the entree which came with the meat, rice, roll taco , beans, and a side of tortillas. Like let's be forreal now all that included for one entree like how can you go wrong ? My friend said his fish meal that also came with the sides was delicious. The drinks were delicious ! The margaritas were amazing ! I got a little buzz with one and decided to get another, i jokely told our waiter "strong" and the second round he brought us they did just that STRONG! And I loved it because most places will not even do that for you. I definitely recommend the margaritas and also there slushee lemonade is one of my favorites and it's the same size as the margs ! Location: There parking lot is pretty small, but there is plenty of street parking so no need to worry ! The place itself has traditional Guatemalan decor , and has plenty of tables. It's casual , but also nice for a first casual date Service: 10/10 our server was amazing, he was extremely attentive and I wish I remembered his name for him to get credit, but honestly he's the best server there ! Overall , I will always recommend this place , one of my favorites in PVD. read more

Love this place! They have limited parking but it was easy to find parking on a Sunday. We went in the middle of the afternoon and the 30 minute wait was worth it! First thing we noticed was that everyone leaving the place had doggy bags. We started with 2 huge pupusas that were the best I've ever had. That was followed by mixed grill plate that was enough for 2 with enough leftovers for lunch the next day. Everything was delicious and I can't wait to be back in the area to try other dishes. read more

I enjoy this place every time they have a friendly staff, mainly Spanish speaking (best to know some spanish), their helpuful with any menu questions. Delicious authentic Guatemalan food with large portions, good service, but be aware going there for brunch on the weekend they can get pretty packed and service can be very slow orders taken within 10-15min, 40min-1hr for food to arrive. The restaurant is well kept and an authentic Guatemalan feel. read more

10/10 for everything! Service was great and atmosphere was very relaxing. We were greeted immediately and soon after tortilla chips were brought out for the table. We ordered two plates, el paisano and el granjero and some drinks. Both dishes were delicious perfect and had all the right flavors. The plantains were perfectttt because it wasn't too soggy, to burnt, or too sweet either. (Yes, I'm super picky about plantains lol). The plates were huge, but the food is addicting that you can't help eat another bite. For drinks we ordered Jicama, Tamarindo, and Horchata. Hands down best horchata drink I ever had. It's rare to give 5 stars, but this spot hits all my expectations. read more

Good drinks, good food, and good customer service. Portions of the plates are definitely shareable and pricing is definitely worth it for the amount of food, flavor and love they put into the food! Parking isn't the best if I'm being honest. But I don't mind parking a little further to enjoy some authentic Guatemalan food! They will definitely be seeing me soon. read more

This was a delightful spot to check out with friends. Without having been to Guatemala, I got the feeling from the atmosphere in the restaurant that this is probably as authentic as you can get in Rhode Island. I ordered a few small plates (or what I thought would be small, given the prices) and ended up with two full meals worth of food, rather than a small meal built of small plates. The food was delicious and we all left with a to-go bag for another day. read more

Great food and service. Very authentic meal. Wonderful experience. Wish I would've gotten a picture but I ate it too fast.

What a great place to try some very different types of food! The shrimp o had was extremely delicious. The rice was tasty, and the potato salads was yummy. Plantains were tasty. Pleasant waitstaff, as well! read more

Guys, I am upset.... Why did no one ever tell me this place existed!!? First we had the best server ever, thank you Alexander. Second, the food, wow. Let me prefix this with I have been looking for good Mexican or Salvadorian food, I found a treasure of Guatemalan food and more. We ordered a pupusa with queso and chicharrón and a chuchito, amazing. Let me tell you, flavorful and worth it. Just an fyi the main courses are huge, we got jalapeño shrimp plate and churrasco mixto. They even have home made tortillas de maíz, blown away. This is my new favorite place, thank you Alexander for being attentive. read more

Love this place, it is a family favorite. We came here after having a negative experience at 787 (they did not want to accommodate my mother disability she has dementia). When ordering here I mentioned they were super accommodating and understanding of my mother's condition I did not need to feel like I had to beg for them to understand and be accommodating. Our server was so helpful and amazing to my mother/ family & the food was so so delicious! read more

My egg soup, my son's steak and chicken were as well my wife's tamale and chile relleno. Service was good and relaxed. Nicely decorated.

Mangonada w/tamarind straw is the real reason I come here. Soooo good! My sister tried the strawberry frozen drink and even my picky 5yr old loved it. Bf had the strawberry coronita and that was bomb too. We Love the complimentary tortilla chips w/2 salsas as well - 1 spicy, 1 not. The Tostadas both ck & steak are good! fried ck plate is good on flavor but kind of dry. Bf had Steak grilled w/sides of rice and salad, he said steak wasn't too dry, gave him 2 thin flanks. Portion sizes are fair here for the price. Garlic shrimp tho, soooo good on flavor!!! Oh and the ceviche! Love!!! I also like the Jukebox you can put money in and choose a song digitally. The staff speak Spanish to you which I like the authenticity of that. Sister got chiccharone and didn't like, said it was too dry. Restaurant is authentic looking and small and cute. read more

Absolutely love love loved my breakfast at Mi Guatemala Restaurant recently. The food was fantastic, the portions were huge, and the prices were fair.

Just a pleasure to dine with such a nice attentive staff. No rushing, just like Central America. Recommended by friends in Central Falls. Delicious from start to finish. Domestic Guatemalan Cerveza served with a cold salt rimmed mug. Fresh warm chips and salsas. Ceviche is maybe the best I've ever had. Papusas too! And fried ice cream to top it off!! We can't wait to go back and bring our friends there. Thank you Mi Guatemala! read more

Good food . I like the horchata drink . But I need more service. I like the sauce . The park little small .

My first visit will not be my last! The hostesses graciously and quickly seated a party of 10 on a Saturday evening, 4 adults and 6 teens. The food was excellent and was enough for several meals. The bean dip they serve as an appetizer was out of this world. Mi Guatemala is a new favorite. read more

A good place for casual Guatemalan food in a bustling atmosphere. I tried the Churarasquito and Chuchitos, both of which were very flavorful. I especially liked the char on the steak of the Churarasquito. The corn dough for the Chuchitos was smooth with a slightly smoky taste. They also give you complimentary tortilla chips with mild and hot salsa that I gobbled down before the (unexpectedly!) large mains came around. Got the next day's lunch taken care of. read more

Mi Guatemala Restaurant - Churarasquito, Chuchitos - Latin American Near Me - Providence, Rhode Island

For starters, they bring out crispy chips with 2 tomato based salsas. One is spicier then the other. The chips have a delicious fresh crunch. I ordered an agua fresca de marañon, first time trying this so I didn't know what to expect. I'm not a fan of really sweet drinks, but this was amazing. I also ordered a pupusa de chicharron only to realize that it was big enough for a meal but I ordered it as an appetizer. The food is freshly made and it does not lack flavor. As a meal I ordered the ranchero breakfast, which consists of 2 eggs, with black beans, sweet plantain, cheese and cream. If you want chicken or steak there's an up charge. I ordered the steak just to try it. Again....amazing. The steak was cooked to perfection, I ordered my eggs over easy and they were cooked to order. The meal also comes accompanied by 3 hand made thick tortillas. The service was great. My server was very attentive and nice about giving me tips on the menu. The environment was busy. I did go right at 12pm for lunch but I didn't have to wait for a table. It's a little darker than normal but very homely. read more

Incredible. This is the kind of place where I'm thinking about my next visit the moment I step in the door. Where I'm mesmerized by literally every single dish being served around me because it all looks, smells, and presumably tastes freaking amazing. The kind of place that I don't mind waiting to be seated, or served (eat delicious Nachos while you wait), where I just don't have a care in the world because I'm at Mi Guatemala and life is good. Every time I've been here it's been phenomenal. Wonderful service and staff. Vibrant space, extensive menu. Everything I've had here has been incredible: churrasco, enchilada, sweet corn tamale, ... enough, I'm getting way hungry just thinking about this place - go to Mi Guatemala. Get an incredible meal for an unbelievable price (so be sure to tip generously.) read more

The most authentic Guatemalan food and atmosphere I have found outside of Guatemala. It has been a family favorite for more than a decade. We drive from Boston, we are never disappointed, and always bring food home. The staff are so kind and don't worry if you don't speak Spanish. Many staff are bilingual and so is the menu. Highly recommend!!!! read more

Be aware of what you find in your food !! I ordered a churrasco and found a piece of nail. Seemed like someone ripped off their real nail while preparing the food. So disgusted and feel sick after this and will never be eating at this place again. Also, their staff are lazy and seem to not put importance into their job. Before 1 hour of closing they put their phone line on occupied so nobody can place an order for takeout. It's frustrating having to go to the restaurant just to place an order then having to wait and see staff lounging around. Want my money back! Ridiculous overpriced meals for bad quality and experience. read more

This place is excellent. I literally stopped half way through my food to write this 1. So I don't forget and 2. Because I didn't want this gem to go unnoticed. And I'm a person that likes to eat my food piping hot. Anyway, I had the fried pork ( which was really stewed I'd say) nonetheless phenomenal. Girlfriend had the Churrasco steak. A little under done but still great. She wasn't really happy with the pupusa but I thought it was good. Not expensive but higher priced than I thought it would be. Great experience, great food, great memory!!! read more

I am always up for authentic food - this place seems legit. I had no clue it existed until a friend suggested it for dinner on a week night. We décor is cute; we were seated promptly and offered chips and salsa. If I go to a Guatemalan restaurant, I want to see Guatemalans eating there - and I did, and got all excited. It signals that the food is good and authentic! Our first waitress did not speak English. Despite my best efforts in high school, I can only ask for the library and the bathroom in Spanish sooo, the first waitress called over another one and we ordered - no big deal, wicked smooth transition. Our second waitress was great, nice, quick - within no time we were sipping on margaritas. My friend ordered Churrasco and I ordered the Fish - oh man, both were so good. I would recommend the Churrasco because it's a little less messy. The salad that came with it was meh. Margarita was okay, I stopped after the first one. The prices are a bit higher than I expected, but the food was good so it is what it is. I would recommend this place to my friends, and I did already to some people at work. They tried it and liked it. It's a hidden gem, give it a try! read more

This place deserves more recognition and subsequent praise. In my four years of living in Providence, I never once heard about Mi Guatemala Restaurant and I wish I had. I found this place on Yelp looking for something new and different and I'm so glad I took a chance. I had never had Guatemalan food before, but after visiting this place, I have become a fan. You walk in and you are treated to a beautifully decorated and cozy-feeling place. The table that we had a map of Guatemala on it and native Guatemalan patterns on it. This showed a great sense of pride in the country and made me appreciate their dedication and love to the culture. I assume the owners or founders of this restaurant are Guatemalan, which makes it exciting you have access to authentic Guatemalan food in Providence. As soon as you are seated, a complimentary basket of blue and golden tortilla chips with salsa is placed on the table to snack on. One of the sauces is more tomato based and mild while the other sauce tasted like chipotle and was medium to hot in spiciness. I personally enjoyed mixing the two to balance out the spice. For a drink, I ordered a Cerveza Gallo, a beer made in Guatemala. When I got my drink, I was given the bottle along with a salt rimmed mug in the shape of a barrel that said "Mi Guatemala Restaurant." I thought this was a cute touch. Our main course was the Parradilla de Guatemala. This dish was around $34 but it easily fed two people with some stuff left over. The plate itself was quite a treat. We couldn't decide what to get so we went for the one that gave you a generous sample of all the meats. There was chicken, beef, pork, and sausages, and they were ALL incredibly well seasoned and so flavorful. The beef was some of the best I've had in a while. The plate also came with rice, a simple salad, homemade guacamole, warm corn tortillas, green onions, and beans. Even the beans were flavorful! It was a delightful meal. Can't wait to have the opportunity to go again. read more

Providence has some surprising breadth and depth in its variety of cuisine options, and Mi Guatemala is certainly a good example of this. Its unassuming location belies its fun ambiance -- a little kitschy, yes, but it has a fun look and style, sort of like a ranch, and totally unironic. The service is very sweet, and even though they don't speak much English, they are patient, attentive, and helpful. I ordered the carne adobada and a side of platanos. Before my food came out, we were given a platter of house-made tortilla chips with two sauces that were unexpectedly different. What I thought was salsa turned out to be something more like warm marinara sauce, and it was accompanied by a dark chili paste in oil (which the waitress warned was "very spicy" but which I found only mildly so). These two sauces worked nicely in concert. I also liked that they put a wheel of lime on my glass of water instead of the typical lemon. My carne adobada was pretty good -- well-done, as previous reviews have said, but also nicely seasoned, flavorful, and pretty tender, if a little dry. The rice and salad accompanying it were nothing special, but the plantains were terrific -- just the right ripeness, and perfectly sweet, charred, and yielding. We also got tortillas to accompany our entrees, and a small pot of pickled jalapenos that I enjoyed spooning over my rice. The bill for three people came out to around $15 each with tip, which I thought was pretty reasonable given how overstuffed and content I felt as I was leaving. Though there are some other Central/South American restaurants I like a little bit more in this area (El Rancho Grande, Los Andes, El Taconazo), Mi Guatemala is a good find, too, with a strong menu and pleasant service. read more
