Eating in Coban is a unique experience compared to other regions in Guatemala. It is definitely different from dining in the capital. I started my meal with a hearty cacao drink. It was rich and creamy with chunks of cacao that gave it a satisfying texture. For dinner, I enjoyed a hot, sweet, and flavorful drink made from cocoa beans, not powder. Alongside the cacao drink, they served a delicious sauce called teu, wh... View all feedback.

What User dislikes about El Penascal:
Food was just ok; nothing special and quite expensive for Guatemala this is not really a particularly fancy place either.

Won’t be back. View all feedback.

When I visit cobán, I never miss the opportunity to have dinner in the peñascal. with its beautiful and clean atmosphere, it is the best place to enjoy the local kitchen. they can try the kaq ik, the most famous and delicious local dish. it is a tasty truthahn stew, which is served with chile cobanero and deceit from white maisteig. it is accompanied by kakaw, a bitter hot cocoa drink served in calabash dishes. also the steak in cardamom sauce and the sub’anik (steel with four meats) are very typical and delicious dishes. it is true that even in the capital these dishes are served, but only in cobán they get the original taste.
