Reviews for El Chapin Guatemalan Grill & Catering in Durham, NC

This is my happy and comfort place. I come here - delicious fresh food with great portions, friendly staff, upbeat music but not... in your ears like some places, people coming here having a good time. Oh did I mention they also have tropical fruitmilkshakes!? The restaurant is connected to the store - the the store is just delightful - separated by a plant wall, the storehas marinated meat, delicious deserts, and other general goods. It?s fun to walk around and browse while waiting for thefood. The tamales is worth a try - moist and well stuffed with generous pickles. I only wish I have a bigger stomach! Read more

What a cool restaurant and grocery! Good vegetarian options. Good prices, friendly and fast service. Fantastic salsa and... condiment bar, great desert case. This is obviously a place that is aimed at serving their community, not just white folks. Read more

Fresh, authentic food and the service was perfect. You will be so surprised at all off the unique flavors and large portions.

I?m Guatemalan. The atmosphere has marimba. They have Chico bananos / fruit. They have everything you would want to eat in... Guatemala and a mini store inside the restaurant. Really good! Read more
