Mister Jon’s: Best American Food @Lake Atitlan?
/where-to-eat-lake-atitlan/mister-jons-best-american-food-lake-atitlan/

My name is Leif and I have a problem.
I can’t stop eating at Mister Jon’s.
Every time I’m in Panajachel, I eat there at least once a day. Some days I eat all three meals there. Essentially all of my sustenance comes from Mister Jon’s menu.
I stopped cooking. I don’t try new restaurants. It’s affecting my friendships. I’m loosing a taste for all other foods. Not to mention my bank account is suffering. I feel like I’m spiraling. I’m in and out of food comas, and somethings gotta give!
Ok, ok, I’m half joking here, but I still bet Dr. De Pena might very well diagnose me with a low level addiction.
In all seriousness though, Mister Jon’s is simply that good. If you’re an American in need of a taste of home, there is no other place, aside from maybe Smoking Joe’s BBQ on Sundays in San Pedro, that can satisfy your craving like Mister Jon’s. Even if you’re not American, you’re still going to enjoy this authentic Americana experience.
Breakfast
Let’s start with the breakfast sandwiches. They basically got gourmet McMuffins going on. Imagine a fresh McDonalds McMuffin but instead of that processed sausage and egg, they’ve got homemade sausage and a farm fresh egg inside! I mean common!
My advice, get 1 sausage and 1 bacon breakfast sandwich and put them together for a Mister Jon’s BigMacMcMuffin! Don’t forget to add some of their homemade salsa picante inside!
Other notable mentions include any of their Egg Benedict’s, Pancakes, or Omelets. Hail the hollandaise sauce!
Lunch
For lunch I usually go for their tacos or burritos. I know what you’re thinking, “why don’t you just go local for Mexican / Guatemalan style food?” And I often do. But Mister Jon’s knows how to do it Mexicali / Texmex style. If you grew up with those tastes like I did, then you won’t be disappointed.
My go to burrito is the BURRITO ENORME with carnitas and the works. At about 1.6 LBS or 1 KG, this Burrito will keep you full till lunch the next day. That is unless you don’t find yourself again at Mister Jon’s for dinner. Overall the taste is like Chipotle & Taco Bell smashed into one but fresher.
Dinner
Dinner is all about the In-N-Out style Double Double Hamburgers. If you don’t like In-N-Out, well then you can just fly back to Paris you French *=-*#*& shove a baguette… Sorry about that, it’s been 37 days and 5 hours since I last ate at Mister Jons. I appreciate the French and their butter, bread and onions, apologies again.
In any case, what I’m trying to convey is that this is one damn good burger. The patties are smashed and juicy, the sauce is I dare say even better than In-N-Out cause it’s fresh, and toppings of lettuce and tomato are of a perfect portion. Plus on Mondays you can can 2 for the price of 1. That’s 2 double doubles for just Q45.
If you’re not feeling like a hamburger, they do a succulent fried chicken burger. If you’re not feeling like any kind of burger, well then take your avocado toast and stick it into your eye balls you….
Apologies again for the outburst. The withdrawals are real.
To Conclude
It’s not just the food that hits the spot, it’s the whole atmosphere. If you grew up in the 70’s, 80’s or 90’s you’re gonna get a home-y nostalgia kind of feeling as you walk in. From Pac-Man illustrations on the floor to star wars and other pop culture paintings and motifs, it feels like a cozy and welcoming diner anywhere in the US.
Whether you’ve been on a 2 year peace corps mission or just arrived, you won’t be disappointed. The addiction is real though! Just limit yourself to 2 to 3 times per day. Moderation & balance is key.
Buen Provecho & good luck!

Meet Jesus, a 21-year-old Mayan Kaqchikel from Guatemala. He comes from a large and hardworking family, with two sisters, two brothers, and several nephews. All of them are dedicated to the art of handcrafted textiles, a tradition passed down for generations in their culture.
Growing up, Jesus was surrounded by the craft of textiles, postcards, huipils, table runners, and scarfs making. From a very young age of five, he began selling his parents’ products in local markets, gaining an understanding of the business and learning how to be a salesman.
During the pandemic, the family’s livelihood was greatly affected, as the lack of tourists resulted in a drop in sales. But Jesus, determined not to let the family suffer, found a solution by selling their products online. Thanks to his determination and creativity, the family’s textiles finally found a market, and people around the world can now appreciate the intricate designs and attention to detail that goes into each piece of postcards, huipils, table runners, and scarfs. You can visit his webshop here, ….. Additionally, you can place an order directly with Jesus at +502 …..
Hand woven postcards
Huipiles
Despite the challenges they faced, Jesus enjoys being a walking salesman, but his ultimate dream is to one day open his own shop, where he can continue to share his family’s traditional textiles with the world.
By buying a product made by Jesus and his family, you are not only getting a beautiful piece of art, but also supporting a hardworking family in Guatemala who have been creating and selling traditional textiles products for many years.
You can get in touch directly with Jesus here!

Motorcycling Guatemala: The Best Riding In The World
/things-to-do-lake-atitlan/motorcycling-guatemala-the-best-riding-in-the-world/

/?p=21340
Admittedly, it’s a pretty bold title, and of course entirely subjective. It may not be the best riding in the world to some. Nepal’s road to Mustang is pretty incredible, and the trolls tongue in Norway is stunningly beautiful. But having ridden through 40 countries over 18 years, I’m confident that you’ll find Guatemala to be at least one of the world’s best motorcycling destinations.
So what is it that makes motorcycling Guatemala so good?
Imagine the winding roads of the Pacific Coast Highway in California. Then combine that with 37 volcanoes, high altitude lakes, endless off road trails, ancient Maya ruins, world heritage cities and perfect spring weather year round. In other words, it’s more than simply remarkable roads, it’s an consciousness transforming experience of all the senses.
More, Guatemala is relatively cheap, which means renting a motorcycle is affordable, and having one repaired is super easy and cheap, especially if you have a Japanese bike.
Admittedly, while it isn’t always the safest place to ride, it really isn’t all that dangerous either. Just don’t go riding into dodgy neighborhoods at night in Guatemala City.
If all this sounds good to you, below you’ll find an experience based guide on everything you need to know about motorcycling in Guatemala.
How To Rent A Motorcycle
If you’re not riding down through Mexico or purchasing your own bike (a fairly simple process for foreigners if you’re interested) you’re going to want to pick up a rental. Although there aren’t many rental companies, the few that do exist have some pretty good deals. Ride Atitlan is one such company based out of Panajachel with some of the lowest rental rates, as well as guided tour rates in the country. Owned and operated by US expats, they’re professional, and have a unique fleet of bikes, from classic Royal Enfield’s to Japanese enduros. If you don’t have a motorcycle license, some companies will allow you to rent, provided you take their training course.
If you do decide to rent, you’ll definitely want to consider getting travel insurance, and one that covers motorcycle accidents and specifically medical evacuations. In the highlands, hospitals are few and far between as well as very remote. Having a helicopter come rescue you can be excessively expensive. So definitely get some travel insurance.
How To Stay Safe Riding Guatemala
As mentioned earlier, Guatemala isn’t the safest place to ride. To help mitigate the risks, below are a few tips:
-Keep an eye out for slow traveling tuktuks-Look out for meandering kids along the road-stay vigilant with stray dogs-talk to locals about potential bandit threats-If necessary, call for police escorts-use a GoPro to record your travels-unmarked speed bumps are everywhere and can easily throw you off your bike at high speeds-Avoid Zones 1, 3, 6, 18, and 21 in Guatemala City (there really isn’t any reason to go there anyways.)
For more Guatemala travel safety tips, check out our guide Staying Safe Around Lake Atitlan.
Road Rules & Police
Guatemala, like many developing counties, can be somewhat challenging to navigate. Many common road rules, such as don’t go the wrong way down a one way, are often loosely interpreted. In other words, road rules are more suggestions than set in stone. In the result, you can pretty much ride any way you would like, as long as you don’t end up in an accident.
It’s required by law to wear a helmet in Guatemala. However many smaller towns do not enforce this. Other than that, most road rules are the same as they are in the US or Europe.
Unlike the US or Europe, you will most likely run into crooked cops, who will make up things like a city entrance toll or try and fine you for no reason. If this happens, you could either pay the cop or pretend like you don’t understand and ride off. It really depends on the situation though.
Where To Ride in Guatemala?
Although the jungles of the north and Maya ruins that go with them do offer some special riding, the best riding in the country in terms of scenery, road conditions, and the weather, is the definitely the highlands. So in this guide, we’ll be focusing on rides around Antigua, Xela, and of course Lake Atitlan. Below are some of the best riding routes the highlands has to offer.
Motorcycle from Lake Atitlan To Antigua
This ride is about 3 hours. Although you can take CA1 the main highway nearly the whole way, there are few less traveled backroads that are definitely worth checking out. More, Antigua is a must visit city. In fact the entire city is a UNESCO world heritage site, with some of its buildings up to 500 years old! Below is a recommended route:
Motorcycle Around Lake Atitlan
This ride takes around 6 to 8 hours depending on how long you decide to stop in each town. Each town around the lake is unique in terms of expat community as well as Maya culture and language. Plus, with each town, you get another incredible view of Lake Atitlan’s three volcanoes. This is arguably one of the best rides in Guatemala.
Motorcycle from Lake Atitlan To Xela
This is another great ride that offers some great volcano views along the way. More, Xela is a really cool city to check out. It’s an interesting mix between Guatemala’s colonial past and modern development.
Final Remarks
It’s not just countless beautiful roads, but the entire experience that makes Guatemala unique. You’re going to loose yourself in the twisties around Volcan San Pedro. You’re also going to meet some remarkable people, who will probably invite you in for some Pepian de Pollo. At the end of the day, there’s simply no other country, with such a perfect combination of riding, weather, views, people and affordability.

How To Start A Business In Guatemala: The Story Of Atitlan Leather

Atitlan Leather is not your typical online store. It is a medium that connects the unique designs of Guatemala with the world. It is a place where you can both support the communities of Lake Atitlan, and keep their remarkable leather traditions alive. Aside from Lake Atitlan itself, in no other place can one find such a remarkable assortment of leather products available for purchase.
It’s because of this that we are delighted to feature Atitlan Leather, and learn how its founder, Walter, turned his desire to help, into a successful global business.
From Volunteer To Entrepreneur
I was four months into my six-month tenure with Guatemalahousingalliance.org. In the early morning I would often venture to Cafe Cristalinas. It was here that I would often run into a man named Richard. He was a cantankerous yet knowledgeable old man. I often found him either building a website on WordPress, setting up amazon and eBay listings, or simply reading a book. He came for the coffee, as did I.
As we sipped our coffees we often debated politics, and also talked about business. This friendship often took us trivia night at El Barrio, where together, we made quite the formidable team. (trivia team tip: diversify your team as much as you can by mixing young/ old men / women – you get the gist oh, and, find Richard). Since we won almost every Wednesday, we would then see each other at our free or discounted brunch on Sundays.
I saw him around town more than anyone else and we always found ourselves in enjoyable conversation. While we never ended up agreeing much about politics, I really enjoyed our debates. When talking business there was one thing he never stopped repeating, “start your online business today! It’s the future!” I floated the idea around until one day it sunk in that I’m leaving in a couple months and if I wanted to do something it had to be now. His advice changed my life.
Discovering My Niche
The seed was planted. I was on the lookout for a product to sell. One day I paid a visit to the villages jack of all trades and networker, Victor Tuch. He himself was quite the entrepreneur. His most eccentric endeavor I can remember was hiring lucha libre wrestlers from the capital to perform at the annual fair. I admired his ambition, and I generally liked Victor. He was more than happy to help when I reached out to him. His philosophy was, what’s good for the community is good for him. He introduced me to coffee plantation owners, avocado farmers, fabric weevers, and out of all this I wasn’t quite convinced I could pull it off. Coffee is a huge market with child labor almost certainly involved, avocados will rot and are heavily regulated for importation, and Mayan fabric was an already saturated market. Then he introduced me to his brother in law Domingo (everyone he introduced me to was probably his brother in law) who had a small leather shop struggling to keep alive due to a prior bad partnership. It checked all the boxes: the product wouldn’t expire, importing is relatively easy, and leather was something you could be creative with. I was convinced that if I were going to do something, this was it!
Building A Partnership
Now that I narrowed down what I wanted to produce I had to determine if my partnership with Domingo would be viable. There was a certain level of trust I needed to be establish as I would be out of town most of the time and I also wanted to know how his earnings would be generally spent. I passed many afternoons in his home and shop learning about leather and his family. He has three kids, two girls and a boy. Even during economic struggle, he managed to send both his girls to good high schools where they both ended up graduating from. Both eventually went to college to become teachers. This might not sound like much to us coming from rich countries, but this was a huge positive in my book, as women in these communities often get sent to work, making low wages to contribute to the family. He could have had them working in the shop for example and this would not be uncommon. Not only did I learn to regard him as a good family man, but I also learned he was actively involved in his community church doing charitable acts. After months of time spent with him and his family, I was convinced this could work and that the endeavor was worth the effort.
A Leap Of Faith
I came up with some product ideas related to my traveling situation and began selling them to people in town. I was pleasantly surprised to find the expats really liked supporting fellow expats in their endeavors. With their feedback I choose a few product lines and made my first real order to take with me across the border. This order was paid for with a $3,000 cash advance from my credit card as I was a recent college graduate with $30,000 in student debt. I’ve often contemplated where Atitlan Leather could have gone if I were able to fully dedicate myself to the company rather than enter the workforce to service my debts, but that’s for another blog piece.
Making A Positive Impact
Being an expat living on the lake you’ll find plenty of opportunities to make a positive impact. I think if there is anything you can take away from this story is that living on Lake Atitlan can inspire you to do something good in a community of great, colorful people with tremendous potential. Opportunities will present themselves to those who are looking and there to take them. As a foreigner you have an enormous advantage to make a real difference in people’s lives on the lake. While there will be many obstacles, this difference you’re making will make it all worth it in the end.

Update On Travel Restrictions In Guatemala
/lake-atitlan-guatemala-blog/update-on-travel-restrictions-in-guatemala/

On Thursday June 11th, I took a trip from Panajachel to Guatemala City. With no travel permission papers, I was pretty nervous about the journey.
So why did I decide to chance it?
I found an amazing deal for a beautiful Suzuki DR 200 motorcycle and I couldn’t stop thinking about it.
Despite reassurances by my driver that we would not encounter any problems, I wasn’t so sure.
There must be some kind of police road block between Panajachel and Guatemala City. After all, we were going to travel through two departments.
At 5am, the butt crack of dawn, we left Panajachel. Sure enough, as my driver had predicted, there was not a single road block! More, due to the lack of traffic, we made it to the city in record time, just under 3 hours!
We arrived to the dealership, and after about 2 hours of negotiating, I bought the bike!
Now it was time for the ride home back to Pana. It was much later in the day now though, and worried perhaps the road blocks might be up now. But just as easily as we had driven in, I drove back without a hitch.
Well, that is, aside from a front break that seized up 10 miles after leaving the dealership. Fortunately, they sent a mechanic, I got back on the road, and with a smile as wide as the gap between volcanoes San Pedro and Atitlan, I rode back to Pana. 3 pit stops and 4 mini thunderstorms later, and I had made it back to town.
When I arrived at the entrance to Pana around 4pm, they checked my temperature, asked where I had been, and took down my contact information. And that was it!
All in all, a successful and surprisingly easy trip to the city and back.
So if you’re worried about heading to Guatemala City, definitely don’t be. Perhaps I just got lucky, but it seems they’ve significantly reduced interdepartmental travel restrictions.
On another note, now that I have two motorcycles, I’ve decided to start a small rental company called Ride Atitlan. So if you or a visiting friend is in need of an affordable short or long term motorcycle rental, you’re in luck! Also, planning to offer half day tours shortly.
