Exquisite Chapin Restaurant offers a vibrant taste of Guatemalan cuisine in Lake Worth Beach, Florida. Patrons rave about the impeccable cleanliness and warm atmosphere, making every visit feel welcoming. Talithia Henri describes her experience as “amazing,” highlighting the flavorful vegetarian options and generous portions—all reasonably priced.
First-time visitors like i ate NJ revel in the friendly ambiance, often feeling embraced by not just the staff but also fellow diners. The much-praised Haitian meat pie serves as a perfect starter, showcasing a delightful pastry filled with savory chicken. The classic Griot steals the show, with marinated pork surrounded by a mountain of black beans and fluffy rice, complemented by fried plantain chips. The tender stewed turkey in spiced gravy is equally noteworthy.

OMG! The whole experience from the beginning to the end was amazing. The restaurant is clean, the service was great, and the food was phenomenal! I was pleasantly surprised with the taste, freshness, and vegetarian option. This restaurant is reasonably priced, and the portion size is good. I am very happy and will definitely return (tomorrow).

Happened to go here for the first time on the eve of Mother's Day and found that it was filled by one large party celebrating the holiday together - it was the best! Not only were the owners/managers of the restaurant very friendly and welcoming, but so were the other patrons who who made us feel like we were part of their group. The whole experience made our first visit there unparalleled. Given that we were newly vaccinated, we decided to take our meals to go. It was hard making any decisions at all because the restaurant smelled so good, and the other patrons meals looked so delicious, as well as the portions huge! We started with the Haitian meat pie, a huge, deep fried hand pie whose pastry was more chewy than flaky like a Jamaican meat patty. It was filled with savory stewed chicken and at 5 was perfect for two to split for a starter. For dinner, we had the classic Griot - marinated and fried pork chunks served with a mountain of black beans and rice and a few enormous fried green plantain chips. It was starchy and unctuous in the best way possible. We also had the stewed turkey with rice and beans and a beautiful side salad. The large turkey chunks were fork tender and covered in a spiced brown gravy - it was also fantastic. Finally, as a treat we got a passion fruit smoothie made with sweetened condensed milk and ice, slowly blended until creamy and delicious. Overall, it was a great experience and I look forward to going back and eating in.

If you were looking for something interesting and off the beaten path, you have found it. Great experience for an early dinner at this smart, clean eatery. It seems to turn into a lounge later, so I can't comment on that part. They serve typical Haitian food but the quality and presentation was excellent. Two dishes we got were great. Presentation was awesome. The last ND and friendly service from Yoli was outstanding. A very refreshing surprise. Oh, they have a liquor bar, mostly high end brands, and they showed ad on their TVs for happy hour from 4 to 7:00. 30% off all drinks.

This restaurant is now a Guatemalan restaurant, it's not the Haitian restaurant anymore. The food was delicious! The owner and staff were so friendly and helpful! Highly recommend!
