As a guatemalteca, HELL NOOOOOO, that is not authentic. Frijoles, our frijoles are black beans, the rice, our rice is typically white with veggies or tomatoes slices, and that pepian is just a NO. Not even the doblada
@@WhyAmISoDumb69420The title of the video was asking if it was authentic food so the OP was simply answering the question. They also have a right to be irritated if a restaurant is misrepresenting their country's food.
I’ll never forget when I first met my husband & I was at his apartment for a gathering, they made tacos & he wanted to impress me & feed me one. I asked is the salsa spicy ? He tasted it said no & dumped a ton on, fed me a bite so sweetly . I absolutely died choking on the spice 😅
I wonder if that was house made or Picamas hot sauce! I love Picamas, the verde is one of my favorites to eat with any fried food especially (but also tamales and nachos!), but be warned, if you're not a spicy person it can be pretty fiery 😊😋 (Picamas is Guatemalan, in case I wasn't clear 😂)
As a Guatemalan, I can confirm that what you had there was not Guatemalan. First off, Atole de Elote should be a yellow consistency with bits of corn in there. Like you said a chowder-like consistency and not to cinnamony. Second that plate of food that you had, didn't look recognizable to me. We eat black refried beans not brown or just straight black beans. Our rice is typically white rice mixed with various veggies like bell peper, carrots, green beans etc. Third, the majority of our main dishes tend to look more of a "curry" where the sauce is pretty thick. If you are interested in trying authentic Guatemalan food, California is one of the places where they sell authentic Guatemalan food--specifically downtown LA or you can try making them yourself as well. If you do end up making Guatemalan food, you should try Jocon since it has the less amount of ingredients/steps to make the dish. Now if you want to try some food, I recommend trying Hilachas, Pepian, or Jocon (these are foods that don't have any heat, but you can add some with Picamas (our brand of tapatio etc.)).
As a Guatemalan, who goes there.. and was raised eating real Guatemalan food.. you have Mexican food over there. The atole is way too thick. It’s usually smooth with some corn here and there. Def not oatmeal consistency. The beans are absolutely wrong. You can try “ducal” beans… and that is as Guatemalan as you can get with the beans. Your rice is Mexican rice, Guatemalan rice looks nothing like this. It’s white with veggies. Guatemalan food is so good and is very different than Mexican food. yours is way off especially that blue tortilla lol. I appreciate the effort though in trying food. Try belizean food. Sooo good too!
I’m sure it was delicious HOWEVER ☝🏻 That’s NOT Guatemalan food. The Atol De Elote is not right at all. Pinto beans 🤦🏻♀️ hell to the no, they should be black beans. You want authentic? Come to my house 🏠 I’ll give plátanos and black beans as a starter 😋
@@Not0a0City0Girl0 Some might say it's worth it! Not only would you get delicious and authentic food, but the sights and experiences as well. But yeah, not as cheap 😂
lol one thing I learned about any Latin foods is their level of spicy is compared to nothing else. When you ask if it’s spicy and they say not really, that’s your cue to dip one prong of the fork in and taste before making your next move😂oh yeah, and the red stuff is almost always way hotter than the green!! The only other food that scares me is Asian food. That Thai chili pepper will make you gasp for air😮💨
@@bwo5274 which is fair…accept that I’m not Latina or Asian and even I know the spicy rules. Had to learn the hard way though😂the red sauce taught me a hard lesson. Couldn’t feel my mouth for awhile😩I love that she’s willing to try lots of different foods😍
@hitmanbangspiedpipersledme999 LOL sometimes the salsa verde sneaks up on you too! Yea, but I do think there's some identity issues going on because her 23 and me video caused a s... storm in the comments she has a decent amount of african blood in her and she said her sister looks even more mixed. I'm assuming there's some old southern family secrets that play into all of that. Anyway I'm just here to watch her eat sammiches!

As a fellow chapina, same! That don’t look like any pepian I’ve ever had haha 😆

Doblada means folded so I guess it's because the tortilla is folded in half.

I’ve never gone from getting so excited to so let down by how inauthentic EVERY SINGLE dish was :(

I'm in!❤🎉
It's just everywhere in my mouth 😂😂
Doblada means folded in Spanish
My wife’s is guacamole I mean Guatemalan 😂 but the whole time I thought she was Puerto Rican lol 😆
Doblada just means “folded” lol
I’m not Guatamalan but in Spanish doblar means to fold. So I’m guessing taco…. doblada was named that way bc it’s folded in half. 🤷🏻♀️
I love your reactions.
I live in Guatemala and absolutely none of that was authentic. You're better off making a visit if you want the real deal 😂
$12 or $750🛩
Hmmmm
😂

Ummm. No. I go to Guatemala every October. That was not Guatemalan food.
Lowrider has the best food!! I work a block away from there and try to order at least once a month. Their homemade chips and queso are the best!;;
lol corn skin drink!
Doblado means folded unless it diablado means hot spicy
Fun fact: Spanish is the main language of Guatemalans.
Guatemalan lol spanish 😂 we love you
I believe doblada translates to folded.
Wah nikmat nih, makan makan terus
A chunky drink… nah. 😅 Food looks good though.
My eyes started watering just watching you choke.
🤣
If you're "enchilada" or attacked by spiciness, I'd have bread, milk or anything but water on hand to cure the ills!
That is absolutely not authentic Guatemalan food btw
None of that looked authentic lol
Aka champuraro
Go to Pollo Campero for Guatemalan food 😅
Or El Salvador’ best chicken in the world.
Yea it’s definitely not Guatemalan lol
No way that’s pepian
Burst
That chunky drink sounds awful
First
Girst
Eat plain lettuce and boiled chicken for a year
Aren't you just soooo funnnnyyyy

She said once that she is white. Even though she doesn't look white to me. Maybe that's why.

Take your Guatemalan food back to Guatemala
They should because people like you deserve nothing but greasy, floppy, 3 day old, grey, Burger King burgers 😅
