Xecul Brings the Flavors of Guatemala to Albany Park - Eater Chicago

"Xecul, named after the small town in the Guatemalan highlands where co-owner María Chigüil was born, offers traditional dishes like pepián, hilachas, paches, and more. After working at restaurants for over a decade, Chigüil's husband, Osmar Carreto, fulfilled his dream of running their own restaurant. They offer both Guatemalan and Mexican dishes, with Guatemalan specialities available through takeout apps like Grubhub. The couple believes in the distinctiveness of their dishes, such as the caldo de gallina criolla, and plans to update their online menu with more Guatemalan offerings." - Brenda Storch
