I come here often for las baleadas and el atole de elote sooo gooodddd. Food is authentic and has good flavor. If you lookin for good honduran or salvi food yeah come to this place
Gets 5 stars for the taste, quality and vast selection of food. It’s the “local’s favorite spot”, so you know it’s good. Be sure to order your food to take it and enjoy at home though because it’s definitely not the type of place you want to sit down to eat (you’ll see why when you’re there) Don’t forget to order yourself an Atol de Elote, it’s the best thing ever! (Warm winter drink of sweet creamy corn with a few kernels) trust me - you will be hooked on it.
They need to hire more employees. Lunch time 10 tables only one server. As far as I heard the owner is "coda" with money.
