Tikal

Came for lunch on a Sat with low expectations but was disappointed. Incredibly slow service especially given that the restaurant was pretty empty. Saw another guest go up and ask about his food given how long it took. We then ended up cancelling our order after waiting 50 minutes and walked out after getting only our appetizer.

The most ridiculous service I have ever experienced. We had 5 adults and a kid, kept trying to seat us on a 4 chair table. Waited an HOUR for our food and only one dish came out, and even that they got the order wrong so had to take it back. Steak fagitas cooked so gamey it was hard to chew… No updates on the food, no apologies, no nothing. The hand made tortillas were pretty good but too bad we didnt get to try any of the other food. After the hour we canceled everything else and just paid for the one dish. I was wondering why this huge restaurant only had 10 tables but apparently they can’t even handle 3. Ridiculous.

Came here for lunch after visiting the hospital. The food was delicious. The chips that came with the guacamole were homemade and really good. I had the chicken empanadas with green sauce and loved it. I would definitely come here if you’re craving Latin for.

Five star food. Everything we had was special and reasonable. I’d go back anytime. Don’t miss the seafood soup. Off menu they made me shrimp in chipotle sauce. Amazing!
I will not rate the décor cause there is none.

Ate at Tikal last night after getting off the train. So, so good. We had chips and guacamole, the tinga torta, and mixed fajitas (beef, chicken, and shrimp). All three were awesome. The chips are homemade as are the tortillas. The shrimp were particularly tasty.
It’s definitely legit Mexican. I’m a Texan and I tasted all the great aspects of the Mex in TexMex (and none of the Tex).
Really nice service too. Can’t wait to go back.

My friends and I had a great lunch at Tikal. We were pleasantly surprised by how big the entrees were and were not even hungry when dinner time came around. Great price for the value.
We ordered the chips and guacomole and asked for a side of salsa. Those chips were freshly fried & crunchy and the guacomole was heaven. melt in your mouth avocado goodness. I am not usually a chips type of person, but I was hooked and we devoured the app.
I split the steak burrito and chicken & steak fajita with my husband. The burrito wrap was nice and chewy and the content was extremely flavorful. You know its a good burrito when: (1) none of the contents fall out of the burrito while you eat it and (2) burrito wrap remains dry during the entire meal. For the fajita, my favorite was actually the tortilla which was similar to what is used for the pupusa.

The food here is spectacular – our only regret was paying outrageous prices for mediocre «New American» food at all the other places in town before discovering this gem. The staff is friendly, and it’s really inexpensive.
We came around noon and had camarones en chipotle and a breakfast plate with chorizo. The beans and rice that came with both were outstanding, and the corn tortillas were fresh. We also took a pork tamal and a couple pupusas to go, because we couldn’t help ourselves! Wish we lived in Greenport, because then we could come here all the time. :)

Delicious, scrumptious, flavorful, satisfying food and friendly staff. Ridiculously cheap for the flavor party that awaits your taste buds. Good variety of Guatemalan, Mexican and Salvadoran food.

Everything we had was fantastic! Empanadas, papusas, burritos, tostado, tamale– all amazing. The fresh fried chips and guacamole were sublime. We found the physical place to be ok and the rest room was very good.

This rating is solely for the food and the portions.
Décor is pretty much non existent. It’s really bad actually. They are not utilizing the space they have. Such potential to have a super cute Spanish restaurant.
Anyway, the food is great. It is super fresh and the portions are big for the price. We went to other restaurant in the area like the Frisky Oyster and the one next door… so wanted to try something different. I am glad we went here because seriously the food is worth it.

I like this place. Why, you ask? Because the food is really GOOD, portions large and the staff is nice. Mind you, when one walks by, it isn’t the most inviting storefront. They need to work on that and, it doesn’t help that the place is way too large (I believe it used to house a Starbucks until it was run out of town, thankfully), but if you give it a try you will be most pleasantly surprised.
Everything is pretty darn fresh. Tamales are my favorite. Steamed to perfection, stuffed with tasty meats and quite filling for the $ 3.50 they charge. Empanadas, really good too. My husband had Enchiladas Mole with Chicken, plate came with rice and black beans, so good. They also have some very interesting tropical smoothie type juices, tacos, tostadas and all kinds of other tempting menu items. Some I can’t translate.
Give it a try. Don’t be intimidated by the outside. Go for it.

Authentic, great tasting food at a reasonable price! The steak was seasoned to make your mouth water. Rice and beans are perfect. The chorizo made an excellent accompaniment. The horchata was well balanced and not overly sweet. Definitely worth going to for a good meal. May try breakfast there next!

This restaurant has excellent food and a great variety of it from Mexico Honduras Belize etc. The prices are very reasonable and the food is terrifically well prepared. It is one of the best places in Greenport for the quality and variety of the cuisine, Especially if you like this type of food. Guacamole rice and beans chicken even hamburgers. They also have specials of the day.

This place has some amazing food! Great place to eat local and expand your palate. Definitely needs more business, it seems a little quiet right now. Come in and order some papusas! The counter girl is super friendly and the atmosphere is super inviting!
