Guatemalteca Bakery - Van Nuys

Nestled near the Amtrak station, it's a great place to get a a quick bite. Here is fast food that tastes nothing like the well known franchises that surround it. Rich with flavour and rich with a sense of community.Thought there's a queue, don't be dismayed as it moves quickly. Yes the food is that good.The staff are friendly, helpful and patient even when an Australian tourist, such as myself, destroys the pronunciation of the menu board.

This place has a line for most of the day. We had a tamale, Chile relleno, and atole de elote. Everything was delicious! The tamale was moist and meaty, I would definitely order that again. The Chile relleno was stuffed with a beef paste with veggies. The atole de elote was sweet and absolutely amazing. It was my first time trying Guatemalan food. I would drive 40 miles again for this place.

Good food and decent prices, parking seems tight for the place, it always seems to have a good line for food.

Love this guatemalteca.Super good service and very cleanKid-friendliness: Super kind and fastParking: A good amount of parking.
