Our take: Guatemala’s embassy of flavor: El Quetzal brings Central American soul to Albany Park. Bring a bottle of Ron Zacapa and let the sabores take flight.
Wine Pairing: Guatemalan cuisine pairs well with a fruity Garnacha or a crisp Albariño. For a unique pairing, try a Txakolina from Basque country.
Beer Pairing: A Guatemalan lager like Gallo is traditional. For a craft option, try a Mexican-style lager or a fruited wheat beer.
Spirits Pairing: Ron Zacapa, a Guatemalan rum, is the perfect pairing. For a non-rum option, bring a bottle of mezcal for smoky cocktails.
