Specialized in breaded chicken, Pollo Campero also offers breakfasts, pizzas, burgers and sandwiches. Although we don't necessarily recommend eating there, we must mention this Guatemalan fast food chain created in 1971. Its success is such that you will have to pass in front of its numerous signs throughout your trip, both on the road and in the cities. Moreover, when you ask for directions, these establishments are often used by the locals as a reference point.

Located in front of the Plaza de la Constitución, the Mercado Central is known for its artisanal stalls, but also has several comedores in two alleys at its heart. Los Olivos is one of the most frequented. Here you can find Guatemalan specialties such as chicken pepián , caldo de pata - a broth made from cow's feet and belly - hilachas, or asada - "grilled" meat. Other Latin American dishes on the menu include ceviche. Hearty plates, served with good guacamole and rice.
