Reviews
Great environment, much better than I expected. Good with baby, they have highchair and kids friendly menu. The staff was nice to explain their menu. We had the rice juice (a bit too sweet for me) the margarita is better. Our favorite was the fried chicken and the steak, each plate comes with fried plantain and some other sides. Big portion. Reasonable price. I will definitely come back more often. BTW, I read some review said abt their bathroom, but the bathroom was clean, so nothing to worry about.
I love the food here. The Honduran spice is definitely present in the restaurant and food. The beans definitely have that honduran taste. I will keep coming to this place for as long as it's opened. The only thing is that the food takes long to come :( but it's worth it.
Food is amazing! Try the baleadas, mar y tierra or shrimp ceviche! Tacos catrachos de res are delish!
