since moving down to the area finding good mexican food has been a struggle. the food is either sub-par or the food is pretty good but crazy expensive. this place hits both boxes. The food was very good. The price was just right, about $30 for two adults with no alcohol. the salsa wasn't a standard I'd say american salsa that nasty blan tomato paste they put out at most places. this had tons of flavor as well as tasted very fresh. I will say there hotter salsa which is usually my go to just tasted like Puréd Jalapeño I'd go back to the drawing board for that one. The food on the other had was very good, filling, and as mentioned very well priced. we will be going back during happy hour for some good food and hopefully better margs.

The Honduran food was excellent as were the sopes. I was shocked at how well the fried chicken paired with the slaw and plantains. There was a perfect amount of crispy on the chicken breading which balanced the creamy sour sauce. I'm a sucker for a house sauce and their fresh made spicy green salsa (use sparingly) was full of flavor and gave a punch to the sopes.

Just like you, I found this place on Google maps and it was well worth the trip. They have authentic Hispanic food. I think based outta Honduras, the atmosphere was fine. Didn't really feel the Latin experience through decor, but I'm glad that the servers let me practice my Spanish with them. They were so nice and welcoming. The food portions were huge and it was tasty the first day bonus for my lunch the next day. I had some real guava juice it was really good. I can see myself coming there just for the juice alone. Highly recommend!

Very hot inside the restaurant. Water was room temp - they did get us ice water after asking for cold water. Serving sizes are small but food was delicious
