Platillo típico (typical dish) is the name given to any meal that normally has at least two of the following: chirmol (Guatemalan tomato-based sauce), platanos fritos (fried plantains), frijoles negros (black beans blob), queso o crema (Guatemalan fresh cheese or cream) and guacamol (avocado sauce). With the elements you can turn a regular breakfast into a “typical” breakfast. The same goes for lunch and dinner.
The platillo típico you see above sells por Q30 at La Casa de las Mixtas. Bon appetite!

Eso me llega!! Ahora ya se donde darme la vuelta… vamos a “La Casa de las Mixtas” Gracias por el buen consejo Rudy fijo que tengo que ir
The platillo típico really looks well prepared and delicious. I’ve only seen your country from the inside of the GC airport, but do hope to visit someday.
As colourful and beautiful as it looks, i would die if i had to eat this for breakfast every day 🙂
Makes me jealous yet again. You are one lucky diner most days! I still miss the food, and while I’ll be heading into Honduras in a few weeks, I can only hope the food will be as memorable as Guatemala.
One other thing, It seems quite difficult to track down a Guatemalan cookbook here in Canada, and I’m curious if they are available in Antigua. I did not even think when I was volunteering in San Andreas, probably because I was always so full of delicious home made meals I didn’t think about cooking my own, and never made it to Antigua to check. Thoughts? and thanks in advance Rudy.

uy que rico, I’m hungry now!
rudy that looks really good!
I sooo want to eat that fried plantain. It looks delicious – and so does the rest of the platter. I think I am going to have to visit Guatemala now …!!
Looks wonderful. I miss the food from there. I was so much healthier eating Guatemalan food
