Mi Guatemala Second Visit

Why did the Guatemalan cross the road? Just so he could get hit by a car. Some idiot driving on Broadway in Newport not paying attention hit the Guatemalan and messed up his knee. He's recovering now and to cheer him up we took him to where else? but My Guatemala.

We had a large crowd, like 9 people. Place wasn't too busy, we got the big table on the back. Service was fast, no fuss, just quick and friendly. We had a lot of food, and overall, all of it was excellent. This time I took a lot of photos, so you'll get to see what we look like!!

Let's see, here's what we ate:

PARRILLADA (El Gringo) - 5 out of 5
His eyes were bigger than his stomach, because he ordered the Parrillada, which is a huge board with steak, chile steak, chorizo, beans, grilled scallions, guacamole and salad.

CHURRASCO (Juice and Lizzy) - 5 out of 5
A Churrasco is grilled steak, with a side of guacamole, rice, beans and scallions. They both really liked it.

CHURRASQUITO (Teak) - 5 out of 5

This is just like the Churrasco, but just a smaller portion. Quote: "Awesome"

TACOS SUAVES (Logan)- 4 out of 5
Soft corn tortilla with steak, rice and lots of onions.

PUPUSA DE QUESO (Dan) - 4 out of 5
Dan's a vegetarian, so he had the corn Pupusa with pickled cabbage on top, and I think he also had a tamal, but can't recall.

PIPIAN DE POLLO (Pat) - 4 out of 5

This is a couple of chicken pieces in a stew like broth served in a clay bowl. Pipian is traditionally made with ground pumpkin seeds, and sometimes tomato sauce is added to it. This is a very traditional dish, widely eaten in southeast Mexico as well.

CARNE ADOBADA (The Guatemalan) - 4 out of 5
Carne adoba is steak that's been marinated in "achiote" sauce (anato seed). I tried this one, it was very good.

PORK PUPUSA (The Mexican) - 5 out of 5
I've had this before and it was just really good this time around, the pork rind is melded into the corn masa, and the sweet pickled cabbage is the perfect pairing.

We had a lot of fun, had a few beer, hopefully made The Guatemalan a little bit cheerier!
