"A recently opened Honduran-leaning spot in Jersey City from brothers Bryan Girón and Christopher Jones, the restaurant felt packed and very local the night before Thanksgiving, with big tables lingering into after-dinner shots. The food is terrific in a maximalist way, with lots of sauces and garnishes; the chalkboard lists items like a great lentil and pork soup (intensely savory!) and an unusual fluke ceviche with peanut, avocado, and cancha. Don’t miss the chucos as a main — pollo is the go-to, stacked with fried chicken — but the reviewer had the skirt steak ($26), marinated in pear among other ingredients, stacked atop razor-thin fried bananas and garnished with cabbage, crema, and herbs from mint to scallions and dill, recalls of the brothers’ time at Shukette. — Melissa McCart, editor, Eater NY" - Eater Staff
