This is the abuelita’s cooking right here! I had never tried Guatemalan food we got there at 9 they close at 10 and they still took us in. Service was okay and food took a while to come out but it was so worth the wait. I order El caldo de Gallina to go and had it for breakfast it was just the perfect way to starty day!

As a Guatemalan living in San Jose, I have no local spots to go to. Whenever I’m in San Mateo, for work or fun, I make it a point to visit one of the local spots. La Chapina feels like I’m back home, even hear people speaking dialects that are not Spanish. The service is good and staff is helpful, I do speak fluent Spanish so your mileage may vary. Be aware parking is very limited and you may have to walk from street parking. The food can’t beat my mom’s or aunt’s cooking but feeds the need when the craving hits. Breakfast is good, I get the scrambled eggs with onions and tomatoes (sometimes sausage) and it comes with black beans, hand made tortillas, fried plantains and Guatemalan sour cream plus a coffee. I then get to-go bread, atole (different hot drinks), and another dish like hilachas or chicken soup.

Delicious traditional Guatemalan food with fresh made tortillas. Great drink selection including soft drinks, atole (sweet corn drink), and rice based hot chocolate. The restaurant is very casual and family friendly. Highly recommended for fans of ethnic food. There is also a bakery inside making fresh bolillos (french roll) and sweetbreads.
