The Antojitos House

This place is AMAZING. As someone with a gluten allergy, finding a restaurant where I can actually relax is rare... but this is one of those gems. The majority of the menu is naturally gluten-free, including the fryer (yes, the fryer!). When I mentioned my gluten allergy, the owner immediately said, “You’re safe here.” Instant relief. I ordered the pork empanada made with corn flour and it was crispy, golden perfection. It came with a mild crema and a spicy salsa, both were so flavorful I kept dipping even when I didn’t need to. I also tried the patacón with beef (a plantain sandwich), and wow. The plantain was crispy, sturdy, and held up better than any gluten-free bread I’ve ever had — IYKYK. The filling was packed with flavor, and the sandwich was HUGE. I could only finish half. This is a tie-your-hair-up, embrace-the-mess kind of meal. Messy and absolutely delicious. There are only three items on the menu that aren’t gluten-free because they're made with flour tortillas and they’re clearly labeled. Nothing with flour ever goes in the fryer, so cross-contamination isn’t a concern. The vibe is chill and casual — order at the counter and grab a seat. It feels like eating a home-cooked meal at your cousin’s house. I’m obsessed and already planning my next visit because I genuinely want to try everything on the menu. Having a gluten allergy can feel limiting, but places like The Antojitos House make me feel included again. I will absolutely be back. Again and again.

one of the best baleadas in the states! all of the food was seasoned like i remember it, when i vacationed in Honduras last summer. definitely recommend the hot sauce with the baleadas - flavorful without melting my tastebuds. the yucca was crispy and delicious. i will definitely be coming back for the pollo chuco. 😎 muchísimas gracias!

I stumbled upon this place after a long day of showing homes. I was so hungry & the owner was kind enough to make me something very quickly while my main course was making. I ordered the pollo & the queso pupas empanadas + the arepas pollo. The empanadas were so crunchy & kept their crunch during travel time. Everything had such an amazing flavor! I'm always leery of shredded chicken but this chicken was juicy & so delish. The hot salsa was also very good with great spice. I honestly wish it would have been spicier. The owner was so personable & easy to talk with. She is a hard worker who takes pride in her food. I appreciated the smaller menu because it helped with decision making & keeping things simple! My only suggestion was to have a light up sign as it was a bit hard to find in the complex. I will 100% be coming back here!!!

With the quality and authenticity of the food, this place should always be packed! Don't be put off by the construction on the road nor the hole in the wall exterior. The inside is where all of the beautiful and delicious action is found! We sampled many different choices from the menu for my birthday dinner. I loved it, and so did the rest of my family. They were nice and thoughtful to allow us to bring in my cake, even bringing plates out and knife to cut it. Mercifully, they did not have to sing on my behalf 😅

This restaurant was excellent! From the moment I walked in, the owner treated me like I was a member of her family. I felt like I was eating in her home. The food was freshly cooked to order and was excellent. I had the arepas, empanadas, and fried plantains. There was so much on the menu that looked good, so I will surely be back to try the other items. Antojitos House has a new regular customer!

We were visiting friends and they recommended The Antojitos House. We got there just before 6:30 and they closed at 7. When we mentioned the fact and suggested that we do takeout, the lady told us that we should just enjoy a leisurely meal. She was exceedingly hospitable. We ordered two meals, one that just takes a few minutes and one that takes longer to prepare. We shared the first meal and took the second one as takeout for the next day's dinner. Each one was plenty to fill both of us up. We enjoyed both meals and were leaving the parking lot at 7:01. If we had stayed past closing, I am sure that they would have still been amazing!

Instant new favorite. We just tried it for the first time and I already can’t wait to go back! Everything we tried was outstanding. When the woman who helped us noticed that my spouse and I didn’t ask for meat in any of our dishes, she was incredibly friendly about letting us know we were welcome to order anything on the menu vegetarian if we wanted, and that she could easily swap the meat out for beans and/or avocado, depending on the dish. I look forward to working my way through the whole menu!

Super friendly service at this cool little place. It’s bigger than what it appears from the outside, plenty of room and tables to enjoy a unique Venezuelan style meal. I ordered a couple items to go including the vegetarian empanada and it was fantastic! Can’t wait to go back and try more of their offerings.

First time here and we will be back!! Delicious and great service!! Nice little place... you have to stop in and try it for yourself cause we will continue stopping in!

This review is only for the pupusas, we didn't try anything else. They were not fully cooked and very thin with not much filling. A fee only had a little filling in half. They didn't have much flavor, we just tossed them. We had high hopes. Also platano Fritos we're not really maduros like we are used to. The Honduran food might be great. It was too $$ too. The same price almost as mestizo which is amazing.

Trying this place for the first time. It's found under Mexican cuisine but it's more a Central American Latin influenced cuisine. You order at the counter and order off the menus posted on the wall. Once you order you take your seat. On this day, Sunday the restaurant was pretty empty. Only one other couple. Nice Spanish music and tv going in the background. We ordered empanadas, arepas and plátanos fritos. The a prepas were a little on the tough side. Managing with a knife wasn't enough. I had to break mine with my hand. The chicken filling with lettuce, tomatoes and sauce had a good flavor though the chicken was dry. The frijoles were good but lacked salt. Just a pinch would elevate the flavor. The fried plantains were tasty and ask i expected.

I'm saddened by the disappointment with their popusas. A friend of mine highly recommended this place , being from Cali I was looking for a good spot for some tasty popusas. A huge no from the family and I. Popusas were so thin and could not even taste any filling, it was just thin masa !!! 70 wasted If i could give it no stars or half I totally would.

A friend and I were nearby for an event and decided to find something to eat. I saw this place and had to try it once I saw plántanos fritos on the menu. My friend and I both got the plátanos Fritos with frijoles plate and it was delicious! They even had my favorite cola champagne soda. Can't wait to come back and try other dishes.

This place has been on my radar for a bit since we drive by all the time. Today was the day we decided to stop in. I'm kicking myself for not stopping so many times before. The food came out fairly quickly and was definitely very tasty. The crema that accompanied the empanada was very tasty. I would order a bucket of that if I could! I ordered the carnitas sopes and hubby tried the yuca frita with chicharrones. Tasty food and we will definitely be back again soon.

There's some cuckoo construction going on Cornelius Pass road but don't let that stop you from visiting the Antojitos House. Plenty of seats inside while you wait for traffic to subside. They have a variety of bites from arepas, pupusas to Honduran eats like baleadas (homemade flour tortilla with beans) and tajadas (green banana/plantain topped with yummy stuff). The proprietor is super friendly and explained the menu to us. I think my fave is the baleadas - very filling and good, especially with avocado and chorizo. This isn't fast food btw, it's fresh homemade eats!

Good variety here which is hard to find elsewhere. Sopes were spot on and amazing! Chicken was so flavorful. Will definitely be back. Lots of different things to try. Food is fairly priced and filling!

Very different from Mexican food but very tasty. It's a established business for 5 years ... the experience of tasting the food here was good.

One of the few places you'll find delicious gluten free options that aren't salads. The patacon, sopes, and empanadas are the best you'll find anywhere. The homemade hot sauce takes it to the next level too.

A couple small oops, but a yummy first visit! We didn't see the restaurant to begin with, drove right past it further into the shopping complex. Of course, after I finally noticed it I also noticed the folding sign right out on Cornelius that I missed. The place isn't grand by any means, but they're pumping out some pretty grand treats. We placed our order at the counter, planning to just eat outside in the car. Mistake...the food here really isn't the easiest to eat in the car. After reading reviews about their amazing empanadas we chose an array: the ground beef, chicken, and potato. We also got an order of taco dorados to share. It was a bit of a wait, but by all means it's worth it when food is made fresh. The empanadas came out SCALDING hot, so much so we had to set them aside and dive into the tacos, which were very crunchy....pretty small, but tasty with a nice cream sauce. I noticed once we turned to the empanadas that the raved about avocado dipping sauce was nowhere to be found. Thank goodness we were eating outside and could run back in for it...I would've been pretty bummed to have missed out...the sauce is indeed yummy. All of the empanadas were great, very good flavors in each. One note though, they were as greasy as they were good. They served them up on paper towels for drainage, and it was a good thing. Definitely let them drain a bit while they cool. One of our 2 chicken empanadas was only half full once we broke into them...but again, taste won out. Scrumptiously good food. Yes they were greasy. Yes they forgot the precious dipping sauce. Yes one half-full empanada. YES, I'll be back....and probably soon.

The empanadas and the avocado sauce are reason enough To come back again. They are sever crispy and hot. This is a must and probably what they do best. The arepas was flavorful and the pork was very good, however it came to me cold. If I wasn't looking for the place I would have never noticed it. Its a place you come for the food only.

At the front of a business park, this is a hidden gem of Central American deliciousness - shredded beef, shredded pork, shredded chicken, beans and cheese are available. Everything is freshly made and approachable. All sauces are freshly made and add to the dish. Check out their hot sauce- it'll sneak up on you

Flavorful food! Reasonably priced, friendly service, if you're in the area, this place is a must! Forgot to grab a photo, but also had an horchata, which was one of the better renditions I've had, and not at all grainy, which is a personal pet peeve. I wanted to try the fried chicken over plantains, but they make it fresh to order and I didn't have time today, as they quoted about 30 minutes to prepare.

This food has ruined me for other restaurants. I only want to eat Arepas and Pupusas now. I will be back soon and I'll bring some friends to share this place with. Amazing food and the service was wonderful too!

Wow we will be coming back to this wonderful little restaurant. Everything was so fresh. Our favorite was the Aripa. I'm gluten free and dairy free and the owner was very knowledgeable about the ingredients and had lots of options for me! We highly recommend this place!

My son is Venezuelan so I'm always on the hunt for a bomb arepa. Actually I'm just always on the hunt For an arepa because no one has them. This is definitely South American style cuisine, not Mexican so be prepared that the flavors are not the same. The guasacaca is fresh and tasty, the arepas are usually fire but sometimes I've had them and they are so hard they hurt my teeth. Empanadas, pupusas are proper. I would pass on the tacos because that's not their specialty. If you need an arepa fix they do not disappoint.

This place really does show the taste of real authentic Honduran food. It seems family owned and they're very pleasant and have great customer service. It's a small place but as you step in you feel the Latin vibe. I'd recommend it for anyone looking to try great food authenticity.

My coworkers and I decided to try this place out based on the reviews. I was super excited to try it out but unfortunately, it did not live up to the hype. I ordered the Taquitos and a pupusa - pupusa was as thin as a tortilla, wasn't fresh and almost zero filling ( no traditional cortido and salsa come with it). I've never had premade frozen store bought pupusas but I could imagine this is what it taste like. The Taquitos were super tiny and really, not enjoyable. I really have nothing to say about to service. We ordered and were served our food fairly quickly.

Delicious, fresh food. Hard to find little spot but once you do, you won't forget it!

I have lived a few blocks from Antojitas house for 2 years and never stepped foot inside until today. I now ask myself why I had never tried it. The food is incredible! The pupusa was just outstanding and the plantains the perfect amount of sweetness and perfectly cooked. I felt like I stepped in my abuelas house and was warmly greeted and asked if I had been inside before. I was helped understand the menu and told what the most popular dishes are. The food arrived with a tall glass of orchata which I didn't order. I was told everyone should have a drink with lunch, even if I didn't order it. The owner wanted me to be fed properly and taken care of. The food, service and atmosphere was on point. I can't wait to go back!

If you're in the Hillsboro area and you're looking to have thee best chilaquiles, look no further. The honest truth is that I'm extremely picky when it comes to Latin food (being that I'm originally from San Diego) so when I discovered this restaurant, I was amazed by the fact that the chilaquiles had a bite to them. What really won me over was that the wonderful cook made everything from scratch and fresh! When I had my first bite I was so pleased and ate every last bite. Don't pass this place up if you're in the area!

Solid first visit. The empanadas were 5 star worthy. Really good! Got a cheese and a chicken. Both hot and tasty. The green sauce with it was a perfect dip for it. I believe an avocado sauce. The chicken arepa I had was really good. I ate it all rather quickly. Not quite as good as what I had at QKenon in Orlando, but authentic and really good. I'd definitely get it again. The beef sopes were a little disappointing. Just didn't have a lot of flavor. Maybe chicken or pork would be better. The main reason for the 3 star is the online ordering process. Yelp uses grubhub. I got confirmation that they received it and a time to pick up. Got there and they didn't have it. They found it immediately, and got our food out quickly- about 10 minutes. Would have been really irritating if it took longer. I'd call in orders to go for now. The girl at the register was friendly and helpful. I'll be back. Hopefully I'll be able to raise the rating a star or two!

I really enjoyed eating at this restaurant. Everything here is homemade and tastes authentic. My favorite was the pupusas - I could eat a whole stack and still not get sick of them. Definitely will be coming back for more!

Amazing food and friendly service...don't overlook this one! Neat and clean, family run-owned with food definitely cooked from the heart. We LOVE THI

Fresh made when you order, and tastes that send you on a journey. The plantain was as you would want, when everyone else seems to miss, Antonio's gets it right every time. They are a family owned and run business that deserves community support. We need more places like this.

This place is out of the world! Each bite is so savory and flavorful. Recommended for family and kids.

Very nice hole in the wall joint. I started with the hand rolled taquitos but plan to make my way thru the menu, everything looks super tasty.

This hole in the wall mom and pop shop is definitely worth the track. Everything we had from their menu, from arepa, pupusas, empanadas, to sopa, and patacon was delicious! We had the potatoe and cheese empanada, and it was crisp on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside. So so divine. The patacon comes with friend plantain as the bread of the sandwich. With the crunch of the shredded cabbage and the crisp of the plantain, it was such a unique sandwich that you cannot get it elsewhere. Not to mention the portion was huge! We had the pupusas to go and heated it up the next day for breakfast. It was still yummy. It came with a pupusas sauce that has a really complex flavor with the a tiny kick as well as some pickled veggies. Can't wait to go back to try the rest of the menu! Just a word of caution though. Most items had some sort of fried elements. If your digestive system isn't as good, be prepared to be bloated afterwards, but it's worth it :)

This place is a hidden gem! First time trying Honduras food. We got steak rice and beans, taco dorados, and papusa. All of which were amazing! We did a phone order and they were super helpful and friendly with the order. Can't wait to come back and try more of the menu!

Food is good, but prices have gone up nearly 50% in the last year, not worth it anymore

Excellent! I wish we could have tried it all. We tried the pupusa con loroco, sopes de pollo and an empanada con papas. All were very tasty! The banana soda was a fun choice as well. Although we understood the menu, I was very impressed with how the hostess explained each item in detail to those unfamiliar with the cuisine. We will be back!

The food here is so good. I had no idea what to expect as I'd never had this type of food before but I'm definitely a fan! The empanadas and arepas are so tasty and the ingredients are fresh. I love the green sauce. The service is great and the staff is friendly.

Excellent service, excellent food! What a fantastic find, recommend extremely highly for fantastic, central, American cuisine!

Venezuelan, Honduran, generally South American cuisine. It's very authentic. The owner is often there presiding and she is passionate about the food and loves to hold forth about it. They make everything from scratch in-house. There's just nothing more to say but that it's excellent. The owner takes great pride in the establishment. It's spotless. The menu is a specific style, so may not be for everyone. If you're a picky eater or you follow some sort of dietary structure, check the menu before you come. But, if you, like me, are a deliciousivore, then just come here. This restaurant is in a sort of light industrial park. There's plenty of off-street parking. But, the restaurant's signage isn't prominent. The are at the front of the park facing the road. Turn left immediately as you turn into the park and drive to the end of the building. This place is entirely family friendly, but they don't have a specific kid's menu. They've got lots of dining room space, but the kitchen staff and equipment might be limiting for large parties; call and ask. Accessibility is good. In conclusion, do come here for delicious food.

I had been at antojitos house so many times, I love all their food is very delicious, The beans, and plantains are my favorite, On Sundays my daughter ask me to go to her favorite place antojitos house , it became our daddy daughter date spot for lunch , Their customers service is excellent , So is good, nice ambiance .and delicious I highly recommend .

The Antojitos House provides fair value for authentic Latin American food. The dishes aren't flashy or showy, mostly being different forms of fried masa mixed with different combinations of meat, cheese, and beans. The presentation is lackluster, offering no illusions of ostentation, and they're the better for it. The empanadas are, as you may well have already heard, the stand-out. Served hot, and crispy, and prepared with fresh ingredients, the empanadas do their job well, being a satisfying savory indulgence. Be sure to get the avocado sauce to dip in, it's the perfect balance of salty, sour, and rich to complement the dishes. Papusas come close. These delightful bean-stuffed masa pancakes have a wonderful balance of crispy exteriors with soft, almost gummy body surrounding the filling. The flavor doesn't stand out much, but the texture alone makes these incredibly satisfying to munch on. Again, highly recommended with the avocado sauce, or the pickled accoutrements. I also tried the tacos dorados. Well-stuffed, extremely crispy, and served with a very complementary sauce, plus a bit of salad. The four rolled tacos for $8 is a fair price, but doesn't leave you jumping for joy at the value. All in all, The Antojitos House doesn't stand out in any big way. The prices are fair, the dishes are exactly what you'd expect, no more, no less. Everything is served hot and fresh, but there's nothing particularly exceptional here. I've come before and will come again, and I recommend it to you if you're looking for some Latin American food in Aloha.

Cute hole in the wall. It's not good though. My son a had a plain quesadilla, the cheese wasn't melted, just warm tortilla with cheese. The plátanos were good and the papudas lacked flavor I tried adding salt and no luck, the tomato sauce was okay and the cabbage slaw wasn't great either. Quick service, friendly faces.

Food here is just absolutely delicious!!! The potatoes empanadas are just the best if your looking for something vegetarian. The front of the house was just so friendly and helped me feel welcomed. The atmosphere was also peaceful, but I know that it is just going to get more lively once they get more customers. Honestly some of the best food I've had!!!!

Delicious and authentic. I love this gem in Hillsboro for El Salvadoran food. It's fresh and there are a lot of options for vegetarians.

First time trying this place and it was so delicious! Got delivery and since I live very close the chicken empanada was still hot! That crema sauce though! So good! Sopes were topped with generous amount of pork and corn sopes was very filling. Please come support this small business making yummy food!

If you want an authentic Venezuelan experience with la familia y great homemade food, come here! With past reviews, talking about increased prices, what do you expect? If prices increased even more, I would still come back to Antojitos House just to talk with mi amiga Zulmi! Customer service is great, food is authentic and delicious. I can't say enough good things about this place!

The tamales were AMAZING! On xmas eve I was looking for somewhere (or someone) that I could buy last min tamales from and I am so glad I stumbled upon this restaurant. The tamales are HUGE and so delicious. Seriously some of the best tamales I've ever had. I think the owner said they are Honduran Tamales. Anyway, I highly highly recommend Will definitely be ordering from Antojitos House again in the future

The food is excellent and service is very efficient and friendly. I really enjoy this restaurant!

Rolled tacos wonderful and crispy even though it was delivered. Arepas tasty crunchy. Flavorful. Nice shredded cabbage.

Omg, today I ordered their empanadas from DoorDash and i am beyond HAPPY! It came with a cup of red salsa and green salsa. Each, are extremely spicy. Their empanadas are ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. So crunchy, yet the meat is moist. I bought : 1 queso con papa (cheese & potatoes) 1 carnitas (braised pork) 1 pollo (chicken) The queso/ papa one was by far my favorite. I think, if all the empanadas had queso in it, it would be perfection. But they all taste great! I'll definitely be ordering from here again. I want to try their tacos dorados, pupusas, & patacon.

I ordered pupusas and fried plantines from The Antojitos. I had also asked if they had any salvadorian horchata and was told they only sold mexican horchata. The pupusas were flat and dry. They had maybe a pinch of food in them which resulted in me feeling like I had eaten a plain tortilla with a hint of food flavor rather than a pupusa. Once I got to eating my plantines I was once again dissapointed in the quality of my food. They were extremely thin slices very little amount im not sure that I actually received a full plantine in my order, also the plantines were far from ripe and left and incredibly dry an sour after taste . I would not recommend eating here.

Were shopping and my husband was looking for a lunch spot. He picked this by reviews. If you like this kind of food, don't be put off by location. Lovely people, fantastic carnitas sopas and quesadilla-and lord-they need to bottle the aji amerrio hot sauce-also great homemade crema.

Wow! Everything from customer service to the food is phenomenal! I had the Arepa con Pollo and an empanada and good lord they were fire! Only bummer is not ice cold beer to wash it down with, but that's ok, they are working on a license. Absolutely recommend to friends and family and I can't wait to come back and try the rest of the menu!

Updating to add photos and echo my original review! Also so delicious and made fresh! We're so happy we found this gem!
