In 1991 Billy and Akaisha Kaderli retired at the age of 38. Now, into their 4th decade of this financially independent lifestyle, they invite you to take advantage of their wisdom and experience.

Smokin' Joes Bar-b-que

If you are at Lake Atitlan in Guatemala you must stop by Smokin' Joes to get some real tasty BBQ.

Nestor cooking up a storm

Every week end Nestor cooks baby back ribs, bacon wrapped filets, fresh fish, smoked pork, grilled chicken, steaks and burgers.

From noon to 4pm you can find him in Panajachel at La Palapa Restaurant on Saturdays, and on Sundays he grills in San Pedro at Cafe Chuasinayi.

Smokin' Joes Menu

When you purchase a full meal (45Q to 110Q or $6 - $14USD) you get your choice of 3 sides which change weekly, plus your choice of either freshly baked corn bread or grilled garlic bread. Vegetarians, or those who don't want such a full plate can just purchase the sides.

Smoked tenderloin of pork

Portions are huge. This plate of smoked tenderloin of pork is one of our favorites. Here you see sides of cucumber salad, nave beans and ham, potato salad and cornbread. For BBQ sauce you have choices of hot, sweet, down home North Carolina and mustard sauce.

Live entertainment!

Sometimes troubadours come through and we have a little live music also with our meal. This young girl was staying in San Marcos but is originally from Indonesia. She and a couple of girlfriends came by boat to Pana to play in several bars and restaurants to make a few tips for the day.
