Reviews for La Guatemalteca in Opelika, AL
The food here is so good! Everything I have tried has been full of flavor. This is now my favorite place to get food from
Food is great price isn't bad until you ask for water to drink then they charge $3 for a bottle of water when the menu says a $1
Really disappointed in this place I had really high hopes. I'm not sure if I'll try it again. I liked their menu for the... authenticity but the food was flavorless. I also didn't like that prices weren't clearly marked and there seemed to be adiscrepancy in listed prices vs what you are charged. I ordered 2 empanadas($5) rice and beans($3) should have been 880 I wascharged $10 and change. There seems to be a lot of miscommunication because you don't really know what you're ordering if youordering multiple items. There was a lady before me who didn't get what she thought she ordered. I speak spanish so it wasn't anissue for me but I could see the two customers before me where having trouble. It takes REALLY long to get orders out, so takenote if your only on a quick lunch break. Maybe calling in would be best. THE do door dash so that may resolve all those issuesright there. I order chicken empanadas and rice and beans. One empanada was over fried the insides fell out and it was toughlike chicken jerky. The second one was fine but as I already said little flavor. Rice and beans ok but not much seasoning.

We’ve been blessed with an amazing restaurant that not only has great prices, taste, and service but also has a unique taste... compared to other restaurants in the Auburn/Opelika area. I would 100% recommend! I’ve attached photos of the wonderful foodthat I have received from this great restaurant. Read more
I had a couple steak tacos and the crazy cucumber. The corn tortillas were clearly handmade in-house and so delicious. There was... a yummy avocado lime cilantro green sauce to drizzle on top. And the cucumber dish was so fun and had so many flavors. Priceswere very reasonable. Read more
Great food and drinks. I highly recommend the pineapple juice!
The food here is very authentic. Great Street style tacos and great Guatemalan foods. They have your typical flavored waters and... also sweet breads!!! A must visit if you are in the area. Read more
Delicious and authentic food! We ate lunch right when they opened on a Saturday and had the place to ourselves. I ordered... esquites and two empanadas, one chicken and one beef. My husband had the mixed torta which came with fries and then we splitsome fried plantains. They were out of esquites but offered elote instead, which was fine by me! The empanadas were crispy andflavorful, my husband was really impressed with his sandwich, and we both enjoyed dipping our plantains in grated cheese, whichI had never seen before. To top it all off, they have yummy horchata. Wish we had a place like this in the Prattville area, butwe’d gladly drive back to eat there again. :) Read more
