I didn’t think this was was gonna be as big or as popular considering the reviews and the location. But on an off hour Saturday afternoon, it was pretty busy. And judging from all the Honduran-pride knick knacks they sell here, it seems to be «un encuentro catracho,» or a Honduran meeting place, for North Dallas. This is the second time I tried baleadas con carne asada in Dallas, and the meat was better flavored than the other place by the airport, but also a bit more gristle — so I’m not sure how to compare it exactly. But I had also forgotten to add eggs but I wasn’t having it for breakfast anyways. Overall, the baleada was a bit skimpy even though the fresh flour tortilla was large in size. Would I come back? I don’t know — I found the service a bit cold and I’m talking about two ladies, not just one, that manage the front end of the business — and I almost never complain about indifferent service anywhere. And I felt that the very affordable menu was also a bit smaller and limited compared to the other Catracho place near Love Field — although it expands in the weekends with their specialty soups(mondongo, caracol, etc). I also feel that the other place make their food with more love. If you want better Honduran food, and friendlier service, go to the other place. If you want a cleaner establishment and can forget about the rest of the things, then this one is definitely cleaner and more organized of the two, while also being more visibly appealing overall. But for me, that doesn’t really do it.

Have been there a few times, the place is ok, nothing out of the ordinary. Their baleadas are bomb though. The reason I am giving it 3 starts and not 4 is because of their customer service… every time I go there the lady is always rude or they serve you like trying to get rid of you, always in a hurry and for some reason every time I’ve been we’ve always had problems at checkout because of mistakes with our bill!

It was dinner. I was hungry and I saw this place driving by so I ambled on in. The inside can best be described as chaotic. The floor was patchwork quilt of various styles of tile. There were random columns popping out of the floor. On the right there is a column of booth seats with a decorative thatched roof. In the front there’s a counter, where they sell strange cough medicines. Three televisions blaring futbol were on. The food took forever to come because I’m pretty sure they forgot my order. I tried the yuca and chicarones, or something to that extent. Yuca turned out to be a sort of fibrous potato thing. Chicarones was fried pork belly. It came on a bed of chopped cabbage and some intensely fuschia tinted pickles of some sort, along with white onions and two pickled jalapenos. On the whole it was different and kind of good. The water comes in a plastic bottle,(Niagra, which is Aldi’s store brand). The forks are plastic. The plate however, is ceramic. Having been here twice, I would not recommend it if you are not Hispanic looking. They will forget your order, or give you a mess of overcooked crud.

No AC. It was freaking hot in there. Ordered fried pork with yucca. Fried pork was so leathery and very difficult to eat. Yucca was good. Tamal was severely disappointed. The middle was cold and tasted old. No thank you!

This restaurant is almost hidden in a street mall. It neighbors Andre Store and Noodle Waves. I am glad I went– really good Hondurian food, large portions. They have a cabbage/onion kind of salad that is very good– perfect to balance with beans, rice and meat(milanesa, in my case). Everything tastes homemade, very well prepared. And they have some juices, one of them is cashew fruit. I can’t recall the name they call it but it is interesting for those who think there is nothing other than the nut in a cashew fruit! Service was good– very informal. You just place your order at the counter and they will bring you the food. Plus, is super affordable! Give it a try if you are in the area!

Stopped by randomly because I have never had Honduran food before. The woman who was my serve, who I also think was the owner, was so nice! The food was good. I can’t remember the name of what I ordered, but it was a fried pupusa like meat pocket. It came with a cabbage slaw salad. Both were pretty good. The absolute best part was the homemade tortillas I ordered to go. They were buttery, soft deliciousness. I am a sucker for a good tortilla and these were some of the best I’ve had in a while.
