Xela where to eat

I do not know about anyone else, but I really enjoy the experience of eating. I am not a really big eater and certainly do not wolf it all down. Eating can be more than just survival. Eating is passion, is extacy, is fun and is part of life. It is an exploration of experience.

As I also really love to cook, eating is more than opening a package for me and heating something up.. Eating and yes cooking then becomes that art. That discovery of new tastes and smells and yes definately in the way it is all presented.

Eating out can be a treat as well.

Hamburgers can be more than just ground beef. They are called Hamburgesa's here in Xela, Guatemala,
For the very best Hamburgesa in Xela take a stroll through Pasaje Enrico to the El Portal. No one else in Xela comes close to making a hamburger like they do. It is a sumptuous, flavourful and an extravaganza of a meal. There are fast food outlets and bars that proclaim they serve food... or something BBQ, no names mentioned, just avoid them at all costs. Antonio's place makes the only hamburgers fit to be called Hamburgesa's in Xela.

For a local flavour and (cheap) try Belisa on the 5 calle side of Pasaje Enrica.

Beer and pricing... (so you decide).
While products are the same, prices for that same quantity differ drastically here. Sometimes we pay a little extra for ambience or atmosphere. So here I list several beverage places with that difference in price and a my own rating for "ambience." Someone had to do it...

Under construction... still tasting...
