Central American Food Done Right!
In a little strip-mall, posing as a bodega with seating, this little joint is exactly the kind of joint that you'd be likely to ignore as you head past. And that would be a mistake - the food in here is *legit*. It's pretty straightforward - you point at the food you want, they put it on a plate for you, you pay, and you eat. There's also a helpful variety of sauces on the table to help you get things just right, and that's pretty much the way it should be!
Mind you, everything is a lot easier if you have a little spanish, but if you don't, that's ok. Point, smile, pay, and enjoy! -

SUCH A DELICIOUS RESTAURANT! You have to give this place a shot, especially if you like Latin cuisine. Parking is easy, they also have take out, and it even looked like delivery if that's more your speed. My fiancé and I chose to dine in, and were happy we did. You can choose to go down their hot stations and point to the morsels you want, or ask for a menu and pick from entrees available. They have options from many Latin American countries, so feel free to mix and match. My fiancé had a steak entree and I had a chicken entree, we shared pupusas. In the end, we split a tres leches slice. We will come back for sure!

This is the only HONDURAN restaurant in the area and it is so dear to me. The food is authentic, flavorful, cheap and the portions are very generous.
This is not a fancy restaurant is more like a cafe but OMG best Central American food ever and for the guys if you like to watch soccer they put every game in large TV screens. They grill the churrascos and the carne asada right infront of you and the pupas and ballads are made instantly.
The salads and sauces are very fresh I encourage you to ry this place and enjoy a nice meal with friends and family. Even though, it is a very small and modest restaurant the place is spotless and their service is very nice and friendly. Don't mind if out of nowhere they start speaking to you in Spanish. That is part of the experience!!!
Within the restaurant they also sell Honduran products like candies, medicine, home decor, bread, special cookies, coffee and many other things.
and if you have to get something out of this review remember to other the bandeja catracha and HORCHATA, the bandeja catracha has everything beans, rice, steak, huge portions of avocado, fried chicken, chismol, salsa, tortillas, tostones and remember you can substitute tostones for sweet fried plantains. Also, you don't have to order from their menu you can just get the buffet which is a good deal as well.
