What kind of food to they have in Guatemala?
In Guatemalan food you will always find: corn tortillas, black beans, plantains (fried, mostly). Apart from that, Guatemala has many different types of foods. There are soupy types of foods, made with tomatoes and spices (like pepian) or there is one with green tomatoes that is delicious called jocón. There, you will find restaurants that will have ordinary foods like grilled chicken with something Guatemalan incorporated, like mango or avocado sauce. One of the most classic meals is steak with rice, beans, avocado, plantains, tortillas, and tomatoes (all separate of course.) Another thing I recomend that you try is a tamal or a chuchito. Both are sort of corn cakes with red sauce, but the tamales are bigger and are softer than chuchitos. They are filled with beef or chicken or pork, and they are delicious. And as for sweets, Guatemalan desserts are extremely sweet, which is why they are small. There are milk candies called “canillitas de leche”, tamarind balls, marzipan, other treats
