Crete NE: Antonjitos Guatemaltecos

A visit to Doane University gave me a chance to sample the restaurants in Crete, abuot 45 minutes southwest of Lincoln. Guatemalan food sounded like a great comforting meal and Antonjitos delivered. Fried fish was sadly not available so I went with the beef. Everything on my plate was flavorful and satisfying. The trio of beef, refried beans, and rice makes for a very satisfying meal. The salad supplied a bit of acid with its dressing, not to mention crunch. And look at those warm, fresh tortillas... The proprietors also run the adjacent shop. I used the opportunity to pick up a wooden pestle I can use to crush my spices.

Doraville: El Quetzal

I enjoyed my dinner at El Quetzal, a Guatemalan restaurant located in a quiet industrial district of Doraville. The family-run restaurant was friendly and welcoming and the food was tasty. Chicken fajitas provided my protein fix. The meat was tasty and plentiful. I just tasted the tortillas but they were fresh and soft. I also caught a glimpse of this spectacular fish.
