Where will I buy groceries and do other shopping in Guatemala?
When we asked people living in Guatemala about good local restaurants, they mentioned...
"People living in Guatemala typically buy groceries and do other shopping at local markets, supermarkets, and convenience stores. Many people also shop at street vendors, which are common in Guatemala. Additionally, some people may shop at larger department stores or malls," explained one expat living in Guatemala.
"Most of the staples are purchased in each villages fresh market. The Mayans are farmers and it is a joy to have access to fresh picked veggies and fruits. Panajachel has the widest selection from "stores". There is a Dispensa Familiar (Walmart owned) which is a decent all-things a basic grocery store would have. Chalo's and Sandra's both carry imported goods so you can always get that back home fix (bring money)," said another in Lake Atitlan, Guatemala.
