A new restaurant in downtown Schuyler held its official ribbon-cutting. The restaurant, owned by brothers Ricardo and Ruben Juarez, held the event after opening the prior week.
The restaurant opened at 1120 B St. in Schuyler, Nebraska, according to the Columbus Telegram. It serves roasted chicken and freshly made tortillas, and features roasted chicken with a rub inspired by Guatemalan flavors.
The chamber participated in the restaurant's ribbon-cutting and opening, which took place last Friday, when Ricardo and Ruben Juarez and their families cut the ribbon outside the new storefront.

A Guatemalan Flavor With Local Roots
Schuyler has a sizable Guatemalan community, something documented well before this latest restaurant opened its doors. A 2010 Census breakdown cited by VICE found the city of 6,200 people was 65 percent Latino, with 12.6 percent of residents born in Guatemala. That same reporting profiled Garnacha's House, another Schuyler restaurant blending cuisines, where an owner's Salvadoran wife made pupusas and a popular chicken sandwich while an employee from Mexico handled tacos and Mexican breakfast.
The outlet also noted that some of Garnacha's House's customers traveled from an hour away just for its Guatemalan-style refried beans, underscoring how far people in the region will go for dishes tied to home. It's the kind of appetite Pollo Rostizado y Tortillería appears to be tapping into with its own Guatemalan-inspired roasted chicken.
A general thank-you to supporters accompanied the restaurant's opening. The new restaurant on B Street serves roasted chicken and freshly made tortillas.
