Guatemalan Street Food Market - Los Angeles

The Guatemalan Street Food Market operates nightly after 5pm at the intersection of Bonnie Brae and 6th Street, featuring dozens of vendors serving authentic Guatemalan antojitos including garnachas, small deep-fried corn tortillas topped with meat, tomato sauce and cotija cheese. Garnachas are palm-sized fried corn tortillas topped with shredded chicken or ground beef, smothered in mild tomato sauce and crumbled cheese, selling for just $1 each with pickled vegetables for garnish. The market also offers traditional Guatemalan chuchitos (tamales), tostadas, and deep-fried half-moons of shredded chicken called dobladas (sometimes called empanadas). The star attraction is papas con pollo—crispy fried chicken and fries doused in three types of sauce, prepared by vendors with huge pots of bubbling oil creating some of the best chicken in Los Angeles. Steaks and sausages are cooked over charcoal using innovative shopping cart grills, while traditional caldos provide warming broths for cozy evenings. This vibrant night market offers some of California’s most authentic Central American street food, serving workers and food enthusiasts seeking genuine “home-cooked” meals at affordable prices.
