What is the food like in Guatemala?
Guatemala offers various styles of food, from U.S.-style fast food in the capital to the native dishes served in the countryside (featuring chicken, pork, lean beef, corn, avocado, zucchini). Among the local favorites are pollo asado (grilled chicken), chuchitos (tamales) and frijoles con arroz (beans and rice). In Guatemala you will find many restaurants serving various types of Latin American cuisine. Traditional Guatemalan dishes are not as spicy as Mexican food, but hotter than European cuisine you can specify your taste to your local mom. If you are a vegetarian the Seora of the house can plan your meals to include vegetables, fruits and grains.
