I read about this restaurant on HiddenTrento.com and today decide to go for lunch. This place serves Guatemalan Food Buffet style. It is also a bakery and serves breakfast, lunch and dinner for the growing Trenton Latino community. Close to the FoodBazaar and many other latino stores. The food is served on a buffet. You fill your plate and go to the cashier who will eyeball it and give you a price. The food is good, the place is clean and the people are friendly. Nobody speaks much english and you may end up like us sitting on the long table with the locals around you. In my opinion this enhances the atmosphere of the place more than it takes away. Two plates for me and my son: $10, try finding a healthy, fresh cooked and delicious lunch for that price anywhere else. There are many places around Chambersburg who will serve you higher Guatemalan cuisine with a better presentation and a more refined seasoning, but you won't find a cheaper joint for lunch.
Literally the best tamales I've ever had! Purchased these for the second time and I can't get enough. These are so authentic and taste like home. Portions are absolutely gigantic and food is flavorful. 10 out of 10!
