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!
A local shabby place. Precooked food scooped up at your choice is barely couple degrees above room temperature. Expensive for small quantity & quality. Get better at regular dine in restaurants. Server & cashier is more friendly & bigger portion to Spanish speaking customer.
GREAT FOOD at a WONDERFUL price... they were fast and very filling and good.. authentic and tasty with a family environment... loved it.
Takes too long at lunchtime to get food to go. 22 min to make a baleada. And I still didn't get it.
Tortillas tasted bad. They took too long. Cold food.
This is a typical hole in the wall kind of a restaurant. Go there for home style Colombian/ Honduran food. Seating etc is low key and nothing to rave about. I usually do a take out - and always go with the food that is ready on display. The pricing is very reasonable. Like in any food bar, the food does stay out for a few hours once it has been cooked and gets replaced once it’s over. As others have pointed out, communication is a problem unless you know Spanish, but just point to what you want …
As for the food- I really love it and have been going there for over 4 years now. My fav is the chicken with gravy with yellow rice, beans and corn tortilla. I have no idea what the name of the dishes really are :)
While there's a bit of a communication gap if you're not versed with Spanish. The staff there is super kind and helpful! I've been there twice and the food has not disappointed!
I recommend the Baleadas. The quality is reasonable given the reasonable pricing
I've had way better honduran food, I got a carne asada and they looked like pieces of chicken nuggests. $16.00 for a plate with rice and beans. Cmon the pieces of meat were raw and I ordered two more plates to eat there and waited almost 20 mins for it and had to ask for it, the pollo con tajadas was not the best. I was recommended to this place, but ppl must be loosing there taste buds, I cook better pollo con tajadas at home, no offense. Could do better with the central American food.
