Guatemalan cuisine reflects its Mayan heritage. Start with “Quisiera pedir…” (I’d like to order…). Must-try dishes include pepián (meat stew) and kak’ik (turkey soup). For tortillas, specify “De maíz” (corn) or “De harina” (flour). Try atol, a hot corn-based drink. “Desayuno chapín” refers to a traditional Guatemalan breakfast. Tipping 10% is customary in restaurants. “La cuenta, por favor” gets you the bill. Don’t miss trying chuchitos, Guatemalan tamales!
