What's the difference between Guatemalen, Honduran and Salvedorean Cream?
All three are available at my local mexican market. How are they different?
Best Answer
I haven't actually had these creams (I might have to try next time I'm at a Latin grocery), but a little research indicates that Guatemalen cream is something like a hybrid of American style sour cream, and creme fraiche; Honduran cream is saltier, and Salvadoran one is sweeter.

Quick Answer about "What's the difference between Guatemalen, Honduran and Salvedorean Cream?"
The Honduran cream had a taste and consistency somewhat like that of the El Salvadoran cream. Yet the cream from El Salvador was sweeter in a nice way; this came more to the fore when each cream was combined with a tamale. The Guatemalan cream tasted noticably worse than either — flatter, heavier, and less tart/tangy.What is Salvadorian cream?

Answer 2
The primarily difference is where they are made.
But there's also a play on its acidity. Kind of like milk vs. buttermilk or different types of plain yogurt. I always thought of El Salvadorian crema was more acidic for my tastes. I think of Honduran as a less acidic, more creamy taste and I really enjoy it.
Answer 3
I find Salvadoran cream thinner and tastes like a very mild cheese (cheddar?) And Mexican cream is like sour cream only 100 times better. It's thick, made using live cultures like how yogurt is made and had a more profound dour cream flavor. I love both. Salvadoran cream is the best imho. If they are making them in the Mexican market, you should try them!
