"Owners Telma and Maynor Majano pull off a difficult feat of nailing dishes from Mexico, Honduras, El Salvador, and Guatemala. Pretty much anything on the menu is a safe bet, but first-timers should make a beeline for the Honduran fried chicken, served with pickles, a tangy cabbage slaw, and an enormous portion of fried plantains. Pozole and mole both stand up under scrutiny." - Tierney Plumb, Eater Staff

The food was amazing, the person who served us was friendly and asked if we were visiting / how the food was. It wasn’t too busy, and honestly it was the cheapest meal I ate in D.C.!

Food really nice and portions big. Didn’t regret choosing this place based on the google reviews! The atmosphere is very homey and simple. Had to wait for some time to pay though, in the end went myself to the cash desk to pay.

I got the pollo frito with tostones on the side and a little pickled slaw on top. It was delicious - reminded me of how my grandma fried chicken. Crispy and flavorful. The tostones were crispy too. I just wish you got one more piece of chicken for $18. Overall, totally worth it.

This was such a great place! Food was delicious! We ordered “sopa de res” and “pescado frito con tajadas”. Oh, the chips and salsa were so good and fresh!

Got lucky to walk past this place and stop in. Sat outside at the picnic table. Looks like a counter service place but we were surprised by a very nice waiter to take our order. Food was outstanding! There was a steady flow of locals and construction workers picking up take out and eating inside at the few available seats inside. It was clearly the place to eat! The best salsa and guacamole we have ever had, served with warm tortilla chips. We tried birria tacos, plantains and enchiladas Hondurenas. Will be back!

I’ve been wanting to come here for a while because I am from Honduras and there aren’t many Honduran food spots in DC. It’s a small space but we were lucky enough to get a table for 4. The waitresses were very sweet. It did take a while, once we were done, for them to come check on us to provide the bill but that is my only slightly negative comment. The food was absolutely delicious! The table shared chips and guacamole. I got the cheese pupusa and beef empanadas. The empanadas were hands down the best I’ve ever had! I also love all the Honduran art they have hanging around the restaurant. Can’t wait to come back!

This place really surprised me. Looking through the front window it seemed very small inside. So glad I gave it a chance though. The people inside were super pleasant and welcoming. It's been a long time since I had fried plantains. Delicious. I'll wait for the food was a little longer than expected. The food made up for it though. The prices were good since we got a very large portion. My only real warning is that they don't have bathrooms. If you're in the area you should stop by.
