Salón Tecún
An old bar in the Pasaje Enríquez arcade, a meeting place for Xela locals and students, often with live music.
Located in the historic Pasaje Enríquez arcade at the southwest corner of the Parque Central, this is Xela's best-known bar for socializing. It serves bar food such as burgers, chips, sandwiches, nachos and pizza. Draft beers include Cabro and Gallo, and the strawberry slush margarita is recommended by bloggers. There is usually live music on Wednesday, Friday and Saturday nights, and the atmosphere is lively. No reservations are taken. Food costs about GTQ 60–120 per person, and the kitchen usually stops taking orders around midnight.
