(This venue is closed. Mi Ranchito, which serves Guatemalan and Peruvian food, now operates at this address.) Much of the food at this Guatemalan lunch counter is reportedly prepared elsewhere and reheated here; sadly, my pache de pollo ($1.50), a potato-based tamale filled with chicken, was bland overall, and the meat was dry. Given more time, I would have done better to follow the lead of the construction workers who chowed down on bowls of chunky soup. My licuada de fresa (strawberry; about $4) was fresh and frothy.
