El Chapín Bakery Store - Oceanside

Amazing!! Everything is clearly made from scratch in house. Very well-executed balanced flavors. Large portion sizes, great value. Great family-owned gem, only problem is it’s way too close to our house so we’re going to be here all the time

This is a small Guatemalan restaurant tucked into a strip mall, but it is worth seeking out. The tilapia platter was wonderful, crispy on the outside, tender white fish inside. It came with rice, beans, fresh tasty salad, limes, avocados and homemade tortillas. Everything that came out of the kitchen looked good. Friendly staff helped us order a great meal. Not expensive .

Those papusas were the best I've ever had. I haven't had them any other time before this time. The tamarindo was the best I've ever had as well. Really top notch. The little tortillas with the beef and cabbage were like little tostadas and I ate them up in one bite. I did notice the prices were a little higher than what the menu advertised but I will just keep that in mind for next time. Tamal elote was great and my son couldn't believe it was corn. He had never seen something like that before. This is a family friendly place with fantastic food and agua fresca. I wish I lived across the street so I could just have them deliver to me.

This place is very traditional Guatemalan taste. My girlfriend and I we really enjoy the food here. I'm Guatemalan so to me was very impressed that the food was delicious and good customer service. We were passing by so we stop it was worth it. We actually thinking to come back from LA.

I stopped by to see if they made true tamales from Guatemala. OMG they taste awesome! I ordered 2 dozen pork tamales for Christmas. Highly recommend!!
