Guatemalan and Mexican Comfort Food Meets Pizza in Queens
Explore Latin American cooking with pasta and subs, plus a chance to practice your Spanish over a meal.
🍽️ A Menu Across Borders
Xelaju brings Guatemalan and Mexican comfort cooking to Queens, with a menu that leaves room for several cravings at once. Tamales, tacos chapines and rellenitos provide a starting point, while pizza, pasta and subs widen the conversation. Choosing between those directions is part of the appeal of this unpretentious restaurant.
The atmosphere stays casual, and a meal here offers a chance to practice your Spanish. Let a few words at the table turn the order into a conversation, then settle into the food. The straightforward exterior keeps the attention on what the kitchen serves rather than on a grand entrance.
On Parsons Boulevard, the restaurant provides parking in the rear for anyone arriving by car. Xelaju is open every day of the week from 9 AM to 10 PM, giving you a broad window to put a meal on the calendar.
