“First, it was a dream of my parents, and we together, as a family, decided to give them our support,” Yoselin Torres, the owner’s daughter, said. When discussing the opening of their restaurant, they chose the Peachtree Corners area because they were attracted to the environment and community.
When opening their restaurant, The Torres family had to put a significant amount of time and effort into crafting the perfect environment, menu and dishes.
“We developed our menu by not just putting the menu in Spanish, but writing it in English too,” Yoselin said. This allows customers from all different backgrounds to experience their restaurant whether they are familiar with or new to Guatemalan cuisine.
A taste of Guatemala
Guatemalan cuisine is a vibrant and flavorful reflection of the country’s cultural heritage, including influences from its Mayan roots and Spanish colonialism. Typical Guatemalan dishes use various local ingredients, including corn, beans, chilies, fruits and vegetables.
“The seasoning is another step for us to be authentic. That is what makes us unique,” Yoselin said.
The Torres family is continuously putting in hard work to improve their restaurant and experience for their customers.
At the beginning of their journey, Yoselin stated it was very challenging, and they did not have much experience, but they are continuing to learn new things every day.
“We are so thankful because God has helped us a lot in everything. There are some ups and downs, but we believe that we will get through this together,” she said.
