From our hand-patted masa to your plate — we bring the heart of Guatemala to New Bedford. Every dish is crafted with the same love and technique our family has preserved for generations.
Tortillas made from scratch every morning — never frozen, never rushed
Authentic traditions preserved through generations of Guatemalan cooking
Proudly serving New Bedford's Guatemalan community and beyond
Restaurante y Tortilleria Guatemalteco was born from a simple conviction: that the flavors of home should never have to travel far to find a table. Our kitchen is where our grandmother's recipes come alive — hand-patted tortillas, slow-simmered stews, and the kind of warmth that makes every guest feel like family.
Our tortillas are patted by hand each morning using traditional techniques and the finest corn masa.
We source imported Guatemalan spices and specialty ingredients to honor the true flavors of our cuisine.
More than a restaurant — we're a home away from home for our neighbors and a window into Guatemalan culture.
In Guatemala, a meal isn't complete without tortillas — and ours are made the way they've always been: by hand, with patience, and with the finest corn masa. No machines, no shortcuts. Just tradition on every bite.
We begin with high-quality nixtamalized corn masa, ground fresh to achieve the perfect texture and flavor.
Each tortilla is shaped by hand — a skill passed down through generations — ensuring the ideal thickness and shape.
Cooked on a hot comal until lightly charred and puffed — ready to serve warm and soft, straight from the fire.
The true measure of our kitchen isn't in our recipes — it's in the faces of the people who leave satisfied and return again.
"The tortillas here taste exactly like what my abuela used to make back home. I drove all the way from Providence just to try them — and I'll keep driving."
"Finally, authentic Guatemalan food in the area. The choclo is incredible, and the atmosphere feels like walking into someone's home. Truly special."
"I brought my family here for the first time and we all fell in love. The hallacas during the holidays are out of this world. A true gem."
From the comal to the table — see the care and craft that goes into every dish we serve.
Whether you're craving a quiet breakfast of fresh tortillas and beans, or a family feast of hallacas and baho — we're ready to welcome you with open arms.
We're located in the heart of New Bedford, easy to find and always ready to welcome you. Call ahead for takeout or to place a large order.
