Wholesome food

The lunch/dinner offer plate was incredible! Lots of different components - particularly enjoyed the sautéed veggies, falafels and hummus. Really filling and all for 45q. Loved the ambience in there, lots of delicious sounding dishes to choose from, as well as deserts in the fridge.

Delicious food

We came back here twice and it was super delicious. One of the servers were incredibly kind and he helped us practice Spanish.

Creative variety

They have great and creative food. A mix from all over. It’s nice if you need a break from rise and beans.
The Samsara place in Antigua seems to be connected to them since menues are at least similar.
We came several times and picked something new each time.
A little different is the fact that you order at the bar and pay in advance.

Pros: Creative dishes, Mix of cuisines

Cons: Moderate expat prices

Same great Menu as Antigua

I really love this restaurant for healthy food. The difference at this location to the Antigua location is that you pay when you order at the counter. The chia limonada was perfection.

Location ist Süß und schön gelegen
Selbst Karte holen und Bestellung hinten aufsagen
Lecker aber nicht super besonders

Good food, chaotic service

The food was really good, big portions, but the service was kind of messed up. I ordered something to drink and they never brought it. And my friend was waiting for her food a long time, after she asked they said they prepared the wrong food and started cooking again…

Lovely food in a cute setting

We had the economy lunch with tempeh. Everything was really good, especially the green hummus and the quinoa balls! Also had the pineapple and turmeric and smoothie which was nice. Food was a little slow, they were definitely understaffed. This wasn't a problem for us and the staff were friendly. We had the cashew ball and another one - both were great and would definitely recommend them! Lovely place too.

Delicious and diverse

I ate at Samsara a handful of times during my stay in San Marcos and can only recommend it. It's a quiet cozy spot, fully vegan, the dishes are all reasonably priced and there's diverse options. The tacos stood out and the cheesy zucchini noodles. Healthy, filling food. In the front there's a fridge where you can buy treats like peanut butter cups or cheesecake. The only dish I didn't love was the curry, but just because I was expecting a saucy curry and the dish is served dry.

Joli cadre et portions généreuses

Très joli lieu, avec une carte restreinte mais variée. Nous avons particulièrement aimé le Guacamole accompagné de ses "spaghettis" de légumes.

Comida insípida y cara

El plato del día era insípido y caro. El hummus verde sí estaba delicioso, el arroz insípido, los vegetales muy básicos solo tenía zanahoria y repollo. La ensalada de repollo era picante y no informaron. El tofu sin sabor, el falafel sí estaba rico y el pan rico y la alcalina de fresa que me pedí era deliciosa. Deben mejorar porque el hecho de que todo sea vegano y que las instalaciones sean bonitas, no es suficiente.

Pros: Todo es vegano.

Cons: Comida insípida., Caro.

Good experience

Had the peanut tempeh bowl, and my boyfriend had the wok bowl with tofu. Was nice to find some tempeh in Guatemala and the prices were good. I would have preferred real noodles instead of zucchini noodles, but that’s personal preference.

Pros: All vegan, Cheap

Cons: Could have been more flavourful

Beautiful food and menu

It was a difficult decision ordering from the menu, which is a testament to how carefully crafted it is. The food is beautifully presented and perfectly seasoned. It's wonderful to have tempeh and tofu on the menu too.

Had a “mixed vegetable” soup which was very excellent and the tempeh & peanuts bowl which was good and satisfying!

Heavenly food

One of my favorite spots while visiting lake Atitlan! The food was so yummy, the people were so kind and the jungle vibe was so relaxing. Must visit if you’re in town!

Very good

Went here twice—for lunch and for dinner. I don’t remember the exact names of the dishes I ordered, but they were all great! The menu has some rather unique dishes and drinks, all very spiritual. Overall it’s an excellent place to eat at.

Pros: Very vegan friendly, Pretty affordable , Nice vibe

Nothing special

It is the same restaurant as in Antigua.
We took a sweet potato soup, smoothie bowl and a value dinner. The soup was really good. The rest was 😕
It takes a long time for the food to be served. We were 3, each of us ate alone…
Except for being vegan, for me, nothing special in this restaurant.

Delicious!

I’ve tried a few things off the menu here and all really delicious, healthy food. Reasonable prices for San Marcos. Friendly staff. Good atmosphere and takes card also.

A bit hit or miss

I thought their breakfasts are better than their main dishes. I’ve tried 5 mains from here and they were all quite plain, personally I don’t get the hype

Absolutely stunning

It's bordering on embarrassing how many times we've been to this location and their sister spot in Antigua, but everything we've tried has been superb. Fresh ingredients, very vegetable heavy, and so healthy. No added sugar or unnecessary ingredients as far as we've been able to tell.

Pros: Healthy, Variety , Cheap
