A Taste of Guatemala, Right Here in New Rochelle

About Us – A Taste of Guatemala in Every Bite

At El Quetzal Deli & Grocery, we are proud to bring the authentic flavors of Guatemala to the heart of New Rochelle. Founded by a mother and daughter duo, our family-owned business is built on tradition, passion, and the love of sharing homemade Guatemalan cuisine with our community.

Our Story

El Quetzal was born from a simple yet powerful idea: to create a space where people could experience the true taste of Guatemala, just like mamá used to make. As immigrants, we understand the deep connection food has to home, culture, and family. Our mission is to serve delicious, homemade Guatemalan dishes while also offering a well-stocked grocery section filled with authentic ingredients for those who love to cook traditional meals themselves.

Our Commitment

As a mother and daughter team, we believe in the power of food to bring people together. We take pride in offering high-quality, homemade meals and a welcoming space where customers feel like part of our extended family. Whether you’re grabbing a quick meal or shopping for authentic Guatemalan ingredients, we’re here to serve you with warmth and hospitality.
