One of the most underrated and unexplored gems in Brooklyn. Forget going to the fancy Central American spots in Manhattan – this place beats them all in every metric - authenticity, taste, prices, and portions. Talk about a homerun! On the outside, this place seems like a small deli that sells just everyday items. But don’t be fooled. Walk inside and you will discover a kitchen where authentic Guatemalan food is being made. Everything from the meat, soups, beans, rice – you name it – is being made on site and freshly cut and spiced. You can tell the place sells authentic Guatemalan food because lots of Guatemalans come in during the day. I’ve been back a multitude of times and every dish I had tried, from the Chicken Pulque, Tamales, Chuchitos, Beef Soup, Beef Stew, Guatemalan Fried Chicken, has been excellent. The portion sizes are huge too, so for 10 you will get enough food to last you lunch and dinner and maybe even another day’s worth!

GUATEMALA Excerpt from Eat the World NYC: The Guatemalan offerings at this address have went through quite a transformation over the past year. After the old flower shop went out of business in early 2018, the shop eventually became somewhat of a corner store for Central Americans despite its mid-block location. It had some trinkets and a few groceries, but seemed to be mostly used for people to send remittances and otherwise back home. Eventually a sign showed up outside with the simple offer of chuchitos, the wrapped-and-steamed masa delights very similar to Mexican-style tamales. With a crisp new Guatemalan flag in the window and no other outward facing signage, it was hard to resist coming in to check it out. Before this year, the woman running the shop would have to leave her envios booth and open up the big Coleman cooler that had the foil-wrapped chuchitos (photo 2) sold individually. On the first attempt it was noticed that they would be gone not much after noon. Most dishes besides soups will come with a hearty portion of rice and beans and two fluffy homemade Guatemalan-style corn tortillas for 10. On the first time coming to the steam table, the woman smiled and asked "Conoces la comida guatemalteca?" very confidently. It was nice to hear a specificity of cuisine, a sort of pride that references back to the name of the place.
The food is delicious Love the Chile’s rellenos, they are the best. Its my favorite with pan Francés. The Caldo de Res is really good I love that they don’t put to much salt, so I can add it on my own with fresh tortillas. The Chuchitos the tamales Are something I recommend, I love them. All the products from Guatemala , Honduras , El Salvador and Mexico are amazing
