Not Much to Look At.... But Delicious

I walked past House of Soups (La Casa de las Sopas) a few times before stopping in and ordering a thick stew (caldo).
WOW.
Best food I've had in Guatemala, I thought to myself. I went back the next night, accompanied by another traveler. After two bites, he said, "Best food I've had in Guatemala."

Food in Mexico and Guatemala, is almost always bland, prepared without hot spices. The customer is always given a selection of spicy additions, just as US diners are given ketchup and mayonnaise.

Here,  salt, cilantro, limes, green spicy sauce (liquid fire), tomatoes, onions, are offered.
