Omg the chicken 🤤

[@12012channel]

Everything looks delicious but would definitely make sure to score some of that fried chicken . Did you taste any distinction between a Guatemalan tamale and a Mexican one? Do you know what sauce they put on the fried chicken? I am especially curious about the green sauce.

[@chapinrus]

@@12012channel The green sauce I think was a light chili. At least in Guatemala we have a chili just that color.

Btw, the first food item you had we call them “chuchitos” it is a type of Guatemalan tamal but they’re not the authentic ones. If you go in the night time they have people selling atole (hot maize beverage). Try the atole de elote soo good! 🇬🇹🇬🇹👍🏼
