Los Catrachos Restaurant

This was my first time having Honduran food and I was so impressed! My friend I split the 4 taco set, a chicken baleda, and the green banana with sauce dish and my meal divided with my friend ended up costing me close to only $9! The baleda and the chicken tacos had a ton of flavor. The green bananas were decent, but not entirely mind blowing so I might try something else in the future. They were pretty generous with their portion sizes and it's pretty close to the UMC and VA hospitals so if you're looking for cheap and tasty food nearby - highly recommend.

Very casual restaurant with ample parking in rear of building. Food- I only came here to try the horchata. It lacked the almond flavor that a true one should have. Service- Very poor; I had to hunt down the waitress to order my beverage.

Amazingly flavorful food, good service and big portions. 3 plates for $40. Es muy delicioso. Tres platos Para $40.

lordered a chicken baleada. They only had two very small pieces of chicken on my baleada. First they messed the order up and gave me beef. Then a very small amount of chicken and refused to refund me. Never will I come here again. Horrible customer service. Store needs to close permanently! I will definitely seek further action towards this restaurant. Also another thing was noticed, this place is overcharging sales tax. Sales tax for restaurants is 9.45% not 9.75% this place owes a lot of customers money for over charging tax.

After a long morning at New Orleans court, I was seriously hungry and felt like eating Honduran food which I'd never had before. Well, Los Catrachos was quite close and there I went. It was quite packed with Hondurans (and even a couple of Brazilians) ordering some of this country's delights. As in Mexican and other Central American cuisine, beans and tortillas play a big role, but the difference is that they give plantains a large role, plus it's not spicy. The portions were seriously huge and I think I ordered too much but I seriously enjoyed every bite. The orders came out in about 40 minutes but it was totally worth it. Also, if I'm not mistaken I spent less than $20 ordering tajadas, maduros, baleada de carne con todo, and baleada de pollo con todo. Friendly staff too. Please check out the pictures and don't hesitate to go. Update: Went on October 24 for the third time at 4 pm. There was barely anyone there, but still service was quick and attentive. Got the delicious tajadas again, as well as baleada de salchicha and baleada de chancho frito. Always delicious and fresh. Along with soda came out to $18 without tip. So totally worth it.

Delicious baleadas - the tortilla is fresh and so fluffy! Great portion and great price. They have many options to choose from. Very friendly service, has a family owned vibe. Highly recommend if you need a baleada fix.

The food is great! Went there after a long day of working in Nola. Got the pollo con tajadas. The service was okay.

Great Honduran food at reasonable prices. Strongly recommend their delicious baleada con todo, the pollo catracho with tajadas, their desayuno tipico. I've also enjoyed several of their beverages including their horchata and jugo de maracuya.

Absolutely delicious hole in the wall! Been here multiple times and continue to go back.

La comida siempre está deliciosa Tienen variedad en sus bebidas naturales Muy rico!

My brother had asked if I'd been to this restaurant a couple of months ago since it's near my work because he had heard it was really good. So last week I finally went. There were no English menus that I saw but between my HS Spanish and google translate, I managed to order something super tasty. I think you're supposed to order at the counter but we had sat down to figure out the menu and someone actually came to us. I ordered the fried shrimp plate (big surprise) and I had my choice of corn or flour tortillas. My dish had fried shrimp, salad, pico, pinto beans, rice and corn tortillas. It was delicious and too much food for me. My friend got the Honduran tacos and said they were tasty and he even took some food back with him. We both had agua fresca. I had blackberry and he had passionfruit and both were amazing and not overly sweet. I will definitely back to try more items.

Great food at greta price. Staff is very and don't be afraid to ask for English menu if you need it! Awesome baleadas.

5 stars because the baleada was good, and because the price was under $4 for the combination meat baleada that I ordered. You could honestly eat 1 and be pretty close to full. Or you could order 2 and be stuffed Essentially a large quesadilla stuffed with beans, cheese, sour cream and any ingredients that you choose. Flavorful, filling. Not the best food I've ever had but it's up there in bang for your buck. Also ordered the carnita celbena. Ended up taking half of the dish home because I was so full from the baleada. The only downside to this dining experience was that the carnita was cooked to way well-done, which is not my preference. I'll be back though to try other meats as the deal is just too good to pass up.

Excelente como siempre! El mejor restaurante hondureño de la ciudad. Los taquitos son deliciosos.

Value and taste are amazing. You're not there for stellar service or beautiful ambiance. The best balleadas in the city. I will update this review if I find one better! Try the fajitas. Very flavorful.

Lunch was amazing! Great service, fresh ingredients and enough for 2 meals! I will be back!

Cheap and delicious!! It's a good sign that they're always busy. If you're tired over overpriced bland Latin food made by white people here in New Orleans, definitely check them out!

The food was pretty good, especially the baliadas. Four stars from me instead of five because the restaurant could be cleaner. My wife and I also had the horchata to drink and it was great. My wife said the food is authentic mainland style Honduran. She is from one of the islands there.

I live in CT an hour from NYC, for some reason it's hard to get Honduran food around here. Visited NOLA baleadas were really good. Portions were large. Will be back when I return

Terrible customer service, got some baliadas which were suppose to have bean, cream, and cheese, when we opened them was plain beans. Returned and the lady seemed to not even care, got the order, corrected it and not even a sorry....never coming back and don't recommend.

Great food and amazing prices. My roommate and I enjoyed a complete meal with juice and appetizers for like $20! I was very pleased with the food. I was especially excited about the cashew fruit juice! I love it! It took some time to translate but it was well worth it.

Good Honduran food with lots of options. Especially good - the beans, the maduros, the bistec. Saw a lot of people eating fried chicken and I'll try that next time. The side salad had a wee bit too much dressing for me, but that's just my preference. Took a while to get food and I saw they're looking for help in the kitchen. Worth the wait tho.

los catrachos de mexico city, best african food in nola. los catrachos are nice chinese people.

Our family loves Latin American cuisine of all sorts. My son went on a mission trip to Honduras a couple of years ago and has been asking to go eat Honduran food ever since then. We finally took him over the weekend while we're we're in NOLA. We ordered the meat pie appetizer, and they were exceptional. The ground meat was well seasoned and the pies were obviously homemade. They came served with a slaw, and it honestly would've made a good entree. I wasn't sure what to order, so I asked the waitress, who was obviously from Honduras, what was her favorite chicken dish and just told her to bring me that. It was called Milanesa de Pollo, which was fried pieces of chicken, a sauce, homemade corn tortillas, beans, rice and a salad. It was delicious, but I think I would get something different next time. My son ordered the tacos Hondurenos de Pollo and he said they were the best tacos he's ever tasted. My hubs had another Pollo dish and my other son had some sort of ribs. The ribs weren't typical ribs, they were ultra thin beef, sliced across, rather than parallel to the bones, but he said the had a nice flavor. I think I'll get the tacos next time. They're on the appetizer menu. Our total bill was about $50, before tip. The service was decent. There was a slight language barrier, but that's okay. It was authentic. Some of the menus were printed in English and some were printed in Spanish. We will definitely go back.

Probably the best food we've had since arriving in New Orleans a few days ago. We had been excited to try the southern fare but have been disappointed so far, except for here!!! Very reasonably priced. Great job!!!

I'm so glad I discovered this place. Their baleada with everything is fire! It's so good, authentic, and inexpensive. I can't wait to try other things from their menu. The only down side is, I wish it was closer to me!

I Had the chicken fajita platter w plantains & 2 Belindas steak & chorizo for lunch. The Belindas are massive at least 8 inches long & stuffed & super soft. Warning u will not probably be able to finish the meal it's alot of good food for little money. Service was new orleans aka laid back but good. The food was amazing and super $ reasonable. I most definitely will return.

parrillada para dos con maracuya es todo!!!

Ya'll baleadas are the best thing to happen to New Orleans since pho. If you don't know what those are: baleadas are like a big, (big) softer, almost pillowy tortilla wrapped around cheese, black beans, cotija cheese, avocado, eggs, chicken, you name it. They can be as simple or as complex as you like. I'm a baleada de pollo con todo girl myself. The prices are insanely reasonable. You can have a great lunch here for about $5. If you're dining in, they have some great Honduran hot sauce at the tables called D'Olancho. It's fairly similar to Tabasco, but maybe a little creamier. If you like to be up on all the foods of the world that make New Orleanian food the best in the dang world, you need to get on Honduran food, and you definitely need to have a baleada spot. This is mine.

This place is delicious. Very authentic as well. I got the fried chicken and my boyfriend got the quesadillas. The portions were huge and the dishes were full of flavour. I would go back for sure. They also have a few different fresh juices that everyone was ordering. We didn't get one but they also looked amazing.

Delicious as always! Chicken with chimichurri sauce, refried beans, rice, and plantains.

ZERO STARS!!!! Ewwwwwww!!! If I COULD give no stars I WOULD have. This place is a filthy mess!!! We walked in and almost every single table was covered with dirty dishes, no customers were sitting at these tables. Disgusting!!! One of the waitresses was busy running around chasing her child while her boyfriend or husband called to the child to come sit down..... he sat at one of the only clean tables taking up space (he wasn't eating.) We stood there for what seemed like forever before anyone ever acknowledged us. The lady finally told us we can sit anywhere we want (in other words....one of the two clean tables.) We sat to look over the menu (my lunch companion wasn't ready to throw in the towel quite yet....even though I was) The menu looked somewhat appealing, but based on the front of the restaurant I didn't trust that the back was clean at all. My companion didn't see anything she wanted either. Between the filth, lack of service and hard to understand menu, we decided to walk out and find another place to dine. I will NOT be returning to this establishment.

Be prepared to spend 7 years trying to eat when you go! If you have the time take it because it is so yummy and so authentic!

Yeah.... This place needs alot of help with service. But the food was okay. Coming from a city with 10,000 restaurants (NYC) I don't stand for that crap. I wouldn't come back here.

Good authentic food but servers and service sucks. Practically have to get up and find the server yourself. Wait time is too long to both order and pay. This is a small place so the service sound be faster and speedy. If you're looking for good food and don't mind poor service this is the place. I will only order out like I usually do from now on.

Do NOT go here. The space is nice, and the food was great, but the waitress charged me like 50% more for everything than the prices that were printed on the menu. When I pointed out the discrepancy, the waitress just shrugged and said "taxes". Then she offered me a dollar in change, but my bill had been padded with like $10 in mystery upcharges. I left angry and feeling robbed.

Mediocre food. The wait staff tries to do their job but what can you do when the food lacks flavor. I ordered la chuleta asada ( grilled pork chop) I asked to send it back to cook more time since it looked too pink for my taste. I should have captured a pictured they brought it back to me charcoaled. It was burnt. My husband ordered a sopa de res (beef soup) and he said it is the worse he has had. Luckily we won't have to eat here again since we are just passing through to Texas.

Great food, the honduran tacos were an amazing value

Yum yum and yummy. The baleada had to be taken home because our delicious meals were so filling - great beans, taquitos ("Honduran tacos"), my breakfast had the BEST plátanos, avocado, scrambled eggs, homemade corn tortillas, queso, crema, and pickled onions. The whole bill for 3 meals was $17. That's yummy, too!

I always get the shrimp and coconut sauce dish with plantains on the side. It's delicious. This place is small and usually under serviced (there's usually only 2 people total working here) and they usually only speak Spanish but everyone is nice here and, again, the food is great. Definitely check it out .

I went into this location about three weeks ago in an attempt to order the Coconut shrimp plate! I was left at the cash register for about 15 minutes. All of the workers standing behind the counter did not approach and ask!! IF I CAN HELP YOU! I guess this waitress saw the look on my face and said" yell what you need" . At that point I walked out!!! Well my co-worker had the very same experience after waiting twenty minutes!! While they wait on people of their nationality!! YES WE ARE BLACK AND YES WE WERE DISCRIMINATED AGAINST!!!! And NO I WILL NOT RETURN THERE AGAIN!!!

I liked the Honduran chicken tacos and slaw the best. Baleadas were made with pita like tortillas and I did not like that. Also a little pricy.

This place is so good! So inexpensive for the quality and quantity of food too. I usually order a baleada con chorizo, plátanos maduros, and an horchata. I usually have leftovers! Clean, quick service. They'll do table service if you're eating in. Their queso fundido is the best in the city, hands down! I go here once a week if I can! Get some good Latin food in you!!

Authentic cuisine at a great price. Plus the customer service is impeccable and it's ALWAYS clean

Delicious and authentic food at amazing prices. Can't get enough. Their baleada de carne con todo is probably my favorite thing on their menu. Hits the spot every time. The restaurant itself is small, but clean. The waiting staff is helpful, and I've never had an issue with promptness. I am in the habit of calling in orders for pickup, and they have always been pretty accommodating.

Cheap delicious Honduran food. I live right across the street and love coming here when I want a quick bite to eat.

Ok, so don't go in here looking for great service or fine dining. The place is super clean, was actually surprised about how nice it was. And the food was AMAZING. My Honduran boyfriend was blown away. I'm not familiar with too many other baleada spots in NOLA, but this one hit the spot. PS: Order some horchata. DELISH

Sooooo GOOD! The Tacos Hondereños de Pollo is a MUST TRY. I just happened to try this place out today for lunch and I'm sold. Great prices, authentic, and full of flavor. I will be back!

Gringos unwelcome....they make this abundantly clear. Our party had a decidedly different experience than.our Latino counterparts. To be fair, the food is decent, but the overall treatment on 3 occasions was consistently terrible.

I love this place! The food is exceptionally delicious, rich, and savory. I have been here several times and I will keep coming back. The prices are great for the amount of food you get, and they have BEST refried beans I have ever had! It definitely helps to speak a little Spanish here, just FYI. But I can't recommend this spot enough! There is really nowhere like it in New Orleans.
