Los Cebollines, Mexican restaurant in Zona 10, Guatemala City, Guatemala
Los Cebollines is a Mexican restaurant in Zona 10, Guatemala City, serving tacos, enchiladas, soups, and grilled meats. The kitchen uses traditional preparation methods and ingredients that are characteristic of regional Mexican cooking.
The restaurant was founded to bring Mexican food to Guatemala City and over time became a known destination in the capital. Its presence across more than one part of the city reflects how it managed to build a lasting following.
The menu goes beyond the usual Tex-Mex repertoire and draws on recipes from several Mexican regions, including dishes like Caldo Tlalpeño and Enchiladas Mexicanas. The food on the table gives a good sense of how regional Mexican home cooking actually tastes.
The restaurant is in a busy commercial area of Zona 10 and is easy to find once you are familiar with the main streets of the neighborhood. Arriving outside of the midday or early evening rush will usually mean a shorter wait for a table.
A small section inside the restaurant called the Mercadito sells Mexican ingredients and products that the kitchen actually uses in its cooking. This means diners can take some of those flavors home and try to reproduce the dishes themselves.
