“ First time visiting. The dinner was really good. Definitely recommend it. ”
“ Food was amazing! Service was great and fast. Absolutely loved everything we ate there. We had tortilla con quesillo with beans and chicharrón that I am now craving! Pollo con tajadas, baleadas, cena típica and pastelitos de harina and everything was absolutely delicious! Will definitely go back whenever we are in town. Gotta love a great Honduran restaurant. ”
“ A really good Honduran restaurant in Chicago! Something we have been looking for for a long time. Pleasantly surprised with the food, really authentic. Start off with Jugos de natural (natural juices) either w or w/o leche (milk) I had the carne asada dinner (skirt steak) which comes with beans, rice, salad, cheese, avocado and tortilla. The meat was a little wrk done, so you should tell them in advance how you want it cooked. Each Sunday they have a different soup available for purchase (sopas de fin de semana). The restaurant is small and very casual, it looks like they have a very brisk carryout business, I want to go back here to try one of the fish dinners and one of those special soups that are only available on Sundays. ”
“ After visiting The National Puerto Rican Art Museum in NW Chicago, the ISU Spanish Club and I stopped here for lunch. The food was fantastic! Huge portions. Excellent value. Superb quality. First time I had Honduran cuisine. Glad we went there! ”
