I found this place wandering the streets of Antigua. If you find yourself in this city, seek it out - its tucked away in the 2nd Calle. Cuervita means little cave and indeed it is - a little cave of deliciousness! The place was a madhouse the day we GB & I went - packed with locals, trying to get infront of us as we tried to work out the drill. The drill, as far as we could understand, was to pick one main dish and two sides. Clearly others with more communication abilities and know-how were able to deviate from this protocol, but despite not being one of those chosen few, we were not disappointed. I had an amazing chorizo tomato dish with rice and guacamole; GB got a typical chicken dish cooked in sauce similar to mole (but less chocolate-y) with black beans and guac. We were served fresh tortillas and cervecas. Pretty much perfection.

Zo, it's Dec. 20th and I'm remembering to check your blog, finally. The pictures from Guatemala are incredibly vibrant. The food, the buildings, the people, you've really brought these to life for us all. After looking at these pics, it feels too long until lunch.
Thanks, Cass! This weekend I plan to post about our adventures in Guatemala City, but unfortunately no real food pics there. However, I am doing a lot of cooking lately so I promise food pics of one kind or another.
Happy holidays to you and Mare!
