Description
With Guatemalan food hard to find in Manhattan, this mom-and-pop spot fills the gap with traditional Mayan and regional plates, serving handmade pupusas, tamales, and Birria tacos alongside kak'ik. Traditional drinks are served warm, featuring atol de elote and hot chocolate rice. Run with friendly, efficient service, it serves as both a neighborhood eatery and a spot for celebrating Guatemalan culture.
