Guatemalan Restaurants and Food in the USA: Verified Map and State-by-State List

How we check each listing

Every place on this page shows the date it was last confirmed and the source that confirmed it. We use four statuses:

• Verified: two independent signals, at least one of them dated within the last 180 days. We count a chain’s own store locator, read on the day we check, as enough on its own: a store page that is still on the brand’s locator is the brand’s own statement that the store exists.
• Likely open: one dated signal within the last 180 days. We show these with that date and re-check them every month.
• Needs check: no dated signal within the last 180 days. These stay in our database and do not appear on this page.
• Announced: an opening the business itself has announced. It goes in the openings list, not on the map, until we can confirm it is open.

The signals we accept, strongest first: the brand’s locator or the business’s own website showing the address on the day we check; dated press or editorial coverage; an OpenStreetMap survey date; a post on the business’s own social media dated within the last 90 days. A review site’s list marked “updated 2026” is a lead for us to check, not evidence.

What we read, and when

• Pollo Campero: on 2 November 2026 we read all 149 store pages listed in the sitemap of us.campero.com: 146 restaurants, 2 pickup-or-delivery-only kitchens (Oakland and San Jose, California) and 1 “coming soon” page (Yukon, Oklahoma). On 3 November 2026 the sitemap still listed the same 149 store pages.
• Pollo Pinulito: the brand’s website, pollopinulitousa.com, listed 19 addresses in 13 states on 2 November 2026, and the same 19 on 3 November 2026. We mark these “likely open” rather than “verified” because the page is a static list, not a store locator, and it did not show the two Los Angeles-area stores that the brand’s own TikTok announced on 16 October 2026.
• Independent restaurants and bakeries: in this first release, 8 places in the Los Angeles area, checked on 2 and 3 November 2026 against LAist’s 29 May 2026 feature on Guatemalan food in Los Angeles, The Infatuation, OpenStreetMap and the business’s own website where it has one. Another 10 Los Angeles places are in our database without a dated signal yet, so we do not list them.
• Population: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 2024 1-year estimates, table B03001 (people of Guatemalan origin), shown with the 90% margin of error.

What this directory does not do

• No ratings and no prices. We hold no ratings. For what Pollo Campero charges, see our Pollo Campero menu price comparison, taken from the chain’s own ordering system.
• Phone numbers and opening hours come only from the business or the brand itself, shown with the website and the date we read it. A blank field means we have not confirmed it from the business’s own site.
• Map pins come only from coordinates we have checked. For most places we looked the address up in OpenStreetMap’s Nominatim service on 3 November 2026 and kept the point only when the result had the same street number and the same ZIP code as the listing. Places whose listing has no ZIP code get no pin. Places that failed that test have no pin; they are in the state list with their full address, and the note under the map gives the current count.
• No page per suburb or ZIP code. A metro area gets its own guide only when it has at least 8 verified or likely-open places, at least 4 of them independent, and enough to say about where to go and what to order. Los Angeles is the first. The Washington DC-Maryland-Virginia and New York-New Jersey areas are next in our checking queue.
