In those few blissful moments right before sleep last night, I suddenly had an intense craving for breakfast. I couldn’t wait for tomorrow to come. But since I wasn’t particularly hungry, I didn’t understand why.
Today I realize that this wasn’t mere hunger pangs but rather a premonition of the future. A future filled with hash browns, biscuits, gravy and eggs, an incredible American style breakfast in the heart of San Pedro, Guatemala.
This breakfast is at Blue Parrot’s Bar & Grill.
The chefs are American and professional, the food is authentic, the atmosphere is quiet and cozy, the prices are right, and you can get you’re breakfast fix all day long.

The Owners
David, Mark, and Chris are three brothers from Maine. With backgrounds in business and as executive chefs, they founded Blue Parrots Bar & Grill in 2013. Their mission, to provide excellent American food that Americans like myself crave when we’re abroad.
Although they opened recently, they’ve been active around San Pedro for the last 6 years. Not only do they make their own hot sauces and sauerkraut but they also run Smokin Joe’s BBQ, big Southern style BBQ that sets up in Panajchel on Saturdays and San Pedro on Sundays.

The Verdict
If you’ve craving American food, there’s no place more authentic and delicious around Lake Atitlan than Blue Parrots and Smokin Joe’s BBQ. They offer all the best American born dishes and at a price that’s hard to beat. Definitely a must eat if you’re coming to San Pedro La Laguna, Guatemala.
This restaurant and the Buddha Bar are closed as in out of business.
Hey Jonathan, the Blue Parrot just moved locations though. Have they closed their 2nd location already?
