Guatemalan cuisine in LA Mayan and Spanish-colonial layers

Guatemalan cuisine is a blend of Maya and Spanish influences [3][4], and Ladinos (mestizos) and Maya are distinct ethnic groups in Guatemala [4]. No Los Angeles Guatemalan restaurant is identified in the sources, and none of the sources discuss how any restaurant distinguishes between Mayan and Ladino culinary traditions [3][4]. To answer this question, one would need menus, websites, or reviews of specific LA Guatemalan restaurants that explicitly reference Mayan vs. Ladino heritage in their dishes or marketing.
