Our Story

A Taste of Guatemala, Right Here in Oklahoma City

Restaurante Guatemalteco El Quetzal Sur was born from a simple belief: that the vibrant, deeply rooted flavors of Guatemala deserve to be shared with the world. Our kitchen honors time-honored recipes passed down through families for generations — dishes made with patience, pride, and the freshest ingredients.

Every tortilla is hand-pressed. Every mole is slow-cooked. Every meal is an invitation to experience the warmth and hospitality that defines Guatemalan culture. Whether you're discovering our cuisine for the first time or returning for a taste of home, you are welcome at our table.

Hear from the people who have made El Quetzal Sur their favorite dining destination.

This is the most authentic Guatemalan food I've found anywhere in Oklahoma. The tamales transported me right back to my abuela's kitchen. Truly a hidden gem.

From the moment we walked in, we felt welcome. The mole was incredible — rich, complex, and perfectly balanced. My family requests this restaurant every weekend now.

Finally, a restaurant that takes the time to do things the right way. The horchata is the best I've ever had, and the arepas are absolutely perfect. Highly recommend!
