ANTIGUA GUATEMALA, GUATEMALA - We’re in the historical city of Antigua Guatemala in Guatemala, Central America, and today we’re meeting up with Rebecca to cook and eat a dish called Kak'ik - one of the best Mayan Guatemalan foods!
Actually just outside of Antigua, we drove out to Santa Ana, Guatemala and specifically to Maya-iz where they are aiming to preserve their Mayan traditions and culture through food. We met up with Rebecca d Leon from Kukul Tales who shares a passion for food and culture.
We immediately got started cooking the Kak'ik, using a whole live turkey, then roasted tomatoes, onions, cilantro and a variety of chilies, Everyone was roasted and toasted, then ground into a puree and combined in a huge ceramic pot with the turkey. The flavors started to brew and blend, and they kept adding more herbs and culantro to the soup to make it well balanced, herbaceous and healthy.
I loved seeing the entire cooking process. Along with the kak’ik, they also made some of the best tamales I’ve ever had - they were so juicy and moist with the right amount of meat filling and olives on the inside. We also tried some sour dried fruit juice called chicha and a dish that included a variety of tripe stewed down until ultra tender.
But the ancient Mayan recipe for turkey soup kak’ik was the highlight, a truly well rounded blend of seasoning with nothing overpowering the flavor of the turkey. It was delicious!

Guatemalan food is very underrated. Not many people know about this gem of cuisine.
Yes that is true. Im from guatemala and for now Im here Pennsylvania USA but there are many mexican Restaurant but not of guatemala I can't understand why.
@@osmanlopez-em6hp maybe not many Guatemalans living in that area.
@@Rachel-ct3jc yes that is true.
I don't know why i'm always doing this to myself. Watching this at night with no food while watching Mark enjoy himself is a vibe everyone is feeling right now.
Lol
Instead of watching the video you should get some food for yourself
I get the notification always on Saturday and Sunday mornings and watch Mark and Sonnies channel every weekend mornings then I try plan out what to eat after
Also I do that 😢😂
Im just like you I go to bed hungry 😂
I really enjoyed this. I’ve been there in in that area of Guatemala 🇬🇹 twice. Cheers from Taiwan 🇹🇼
Come back soon, Guatemala is waiting for You and friends.
Saludos a los amigos de Taiwan..saludos cordiales.
what guatemalan tourist ministry has never been able to do ever, mark wiens did in 3 episodes, enormous thanks, the world needs a lil bit of guate
This is not just a food & travel review channel ....This is a cultural documentary that makes me appreciate our planet and I will support this channel till I'm an old woman. 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
I love the Guatemala videos. That is my 2nd. home. My son and I lived there for 7 years. I worked for the corporation Pizza Hut opening up new stores for them there. And I was so disappointed when my job came to an end, and I had to come home to the USA. I love the people and culture they have. And until you taste the food you have no clue the flavors you get. Oh my gosh! It is so good. Thank you Mark for this video. I sure hope there are more Guatemala videos coming. Still waiting.
Thank you 🙏🏾 Got emotional
❤
Guate te está esperando. Siempre son bienvenidos. Saludos cordiales.
My fathers family taught my mother the traditional way to make kak’ik and I’ve always wanted people to know how special this is to me! Thank you Mark for visiting my lovely country Guatemala and showing everyone here the love, dedication, and memories w put into our food! This Guatemalan food tour has truly touched me 🫶🏻
Very Good
Tan rico que es el kak ik, lo probé por primera vez en san marcos, en el 2015. Y me enamoré de ese caldo, nunca volví a probar uno igual, el abuelito que lo preparó falleció a los meses de eso. Cada abuela u abuelo tiene una sazón increíble
I love Guatemala, Guatemala es un país con mucha gastronomía deliciosa..
I have been watching Mark for years. We would watch the videos with my grandparents. They were always amazed at the quantity of food and the amount of spicyness. They passed a few years ago so now I think of their reaction seeing Mark in our home country.
I was so happy to see all these videos from my beautiful Guatemalan cuisine, having him in Guatemala was a pleasure and an honor!
Hi there, Guatemalan here! Everything he says is true and more, this is my favorite soup growing up. I used to have it when visiting family in Cobán and stateside during special occasions. Find an authentic recipe and try making it, share our culture more and more. I would love to hear one day that someone has tried it when I bring it up. 30 years old, nobody has ever heard of it before.
¡Gracias, gracias, gracias Mark! Very thankful to you for visiting my beautiful Guatemala and for being so respectful to our culture and our people. Thank you for your kindness and love when portraying "El País de la Eterna Primavera." You will always be welcome to my home there.
X2🙌🏽
Awesome brother. I went to Guatemala last year and one of the first things I thought when I tried the food was, "Mark needs to come to Guatemala!"
Wow Mark, totally incredible. Never thought about Guatemala. This looks like one of the most interesting and refined cuisines and culures on earth. Danke!
They were laughing when Mark added more hot chilli powder, but he is on a different level. Beautiful food, people, and country. Thank you for sharing, and thanks, Rebecca, for being a lovely host
The woman is wrong, the Spanish didn't bring domestic turkeys to Guatemala. Turkeys are native to Mesoamerica and the Mayans had access to domestic turkey long before the Spanish through trade routes from Mexico where they were first domesticated over a thousand years ago.
Hi Mark! I'm not Guatemalan, I'm Mexican, but I might be able to offer some insight about the tamales. The tamal you ate with the Kak'ik appears to be made the way most people think tamales are made by mixing the masa with lard, shaping into tamal shape on the banana leaf, then steaming it. That's what causes the density in the masa of the tamal when you eat it. The masa in the tamal you ate separately with the meat and olives goes through a different process where they actually COOK the masa in a pot (stirring constantly!) before putting it on banana leaves and steaming them. This changes the texture of the masa and makes it softer and more fluffy.
I'm Mexican but I ADORE Central American food, especially their tamales. 🤤
Me too!
The masa you mentioned in the second description sounds like ugali from East Africa.
I like the corn tamales with corn husk.
Guatemalan ,Central America each country makes it different.
I love tamales. From Mexico, Central America, and South America all have different ways of making them. Even in Mexico there's so many different variations!!!! Try a Nacatamal 🇳🇮 🇳🇮 🇳🇮
Im glad to see you finally in my country of Guatemala 🇬🇹 enjoy brother and thank you for always having amazing content from all over the world!!!
Hey Mark as a stroke survivor in recovery don't stop making videos I'm living vicariously through your videos and traveling along with you thank you for an amazing work thank you I will continue to watch more of them as you post keep up there great work
I was surprised to see your video from Guatemala 🇬🇹 my native country ,I follow you for a long time , it made me so happy and excited to see that you were in Guatemala,Our food is unique and very elaborated ,looks delicious. Welcome To Guatemalan Land Of Trees 🌲 🇬🇹👍. Love it
Guatemala sure is a pretty diverse country. Their food and cultures are what makes this whole thing unique.
She should have warned you about the drink. Part of the reason for my comments from your previous videos on this region was in part to a family who essentially saved my life in when I was living in Houston. The grandmothers in that family were all about traditional foods and this is some of what they used to make for all of us. There's really nothing else like it. What a wonderful day you had with these beautiful people. Thank you for sharing this with us.
Guatemala is wonderful, unique, what a tasty food and the people there. Amazing Mark thanks to show us this beautiful country.
That food is made with love , love from the able hands of grandma. Her energy and watching her family do this is a proud moment. Mark is sooo lucky , thank you Mark for this. 😉👌
GUATEMALA tiene cientos de tipos de tamales diferentes.
Tamal colorado de masa de maíz, con un recado rojo, aceitunas, pollo , cerdo o res, tamal negro que es dulce y lleva pasas y ciruelas secas. El pache que es de papa, con chile diente de perro, hay tamales de arroz, con carne y recado de tómate, los famosos chuchitos, años que se le pone queso seco y salsa al momento de servir, los tamalitos de chipilin, tamalitos de cambray que son dulces y llevan anís, los tamales de elote, los tamalitos wur son los que están comiendo aquí y solo son acompañamiento de las comidas, el tamal de boxbol, el tamal de viaje entre otros. 🇬🇹
Guatemalan cooking ingredients and utensils are so so so similar to Indian cooking culture!! The type of cilantro and the grind stone!!!
Its so nice and incredible ❤
You are the happiest person I have ever seen, just enjoying life. Thanks for bringing more culture into our lives.
I very rarely get to see Guatemala and their cooking in travel food shows. Thank you so much!
Love the unique & beautiful dishes Marc has featured in Guatemala, and this one is really special. That's devoted cooking right there, with lots of soul!
The chicha drink has a taste similar to Kambucha.
Such an awesome series you are doing in my beloved country Guatemala. Thank you! 🇬🇹🇬🇹🇬🇹🇬🇹
Rebeka was an excellent guide in this video. I hope she gives birth to a beautiful healthy baby. The food of Central America is visually amazing again.
Nat Geo recomienda a Guatemala como uno de los países que debes visitar al menos una vez en la vida por su riqueza natural y cultural además de su increíble belleza.
Hi! I’ve been following your channel for years and usually look for tips whenever I go abroad. Seeing the series of videos of Guatemala, my country, makes me so nostalgic and proud! My family and I just left for Europe and would have love showing you around too. The way you reflect what you live, with respect, openness, and joy make your documentaries top class. Beautifully made. Truly enjoying and sharing this series! All the best!
Very cool to see Mayan Guatemalan food culture. Thank you Mark for always being 100% authentic, no need to be pretentious!!!!;🙏 🙏 🙏
I dont like Mark weins show, but this episode of guatemala i watched because I am a jamaican born chef and everything he ate looked delicious. I been to mexico, now I need to try Guatemala. The food is cooked similar to african food in that everything is well seasoned and in a rich looking sauce. The fried chicken 🍗 was looking fingerlicking good. They cooked so clean too. You know there has to be some indigenous african influence there. I really want to visit. Good job mark weins ! 😊
Nice! You are more then welcome to come! Yes actually we have some Garífuna in the Caribbean Guatemala area…
