Marimbas Guatemalan

Have You Heard of… Marimbas Guatemalan?

Welcome to one of the most joyful little escapes in North Central Austin — Marimbas Guatemalan, a new restaurant that feels like stepping into Lake Atitlán without the plane ticket.

From the moment you walk in, you’re wrapped in handmade paper decorations, bold colors, and an atmosphere that radiates Guatemalan pride. It’s cozy, it’s vibrant, and yes — it smells absolutely incredible.

🔥 What to order:
Get the Chile Relleno — it’s stuffed to perfection and hits that comforting savory-sweet spot. Pair it with their horchata, which is thick, creamy, and subtly spiced. Honestly, it might ruin other horchatas for you forever.

🌟 Pro tip: Come with a friend, split everything, and stay awhile. The vibe is slow, sweet, and worth soaking in.
