I really enjoyed this place. Interesting vegan food has been hard to come by in Guatemala and not only does this place have many options, they are also very varied. I had the tofu teriyaki stirfry, which was very good and I was really surprised that the texture of the tofu was so firm and crispy. My friend and I also shared the veggie nachos, sans cheese and cream, and they were really good.
I wasn´t able to make the Tusday night free lecture but they are doing a series on gangs in Guatemala, so I would expect all the lectures to be pretty interesting.
