I remember the building when it was a nightclub. I've had it on my list to try the food and wasn't sure what to expect. My sis and I went before a show for dinner. Our waitress did not speak English, but we were able to communicate effectively, trying to pronounce Spanish, Google translate, and using hand gestures. We got Tortillas con Quesillo, Pastelitos and Baleada con Todo. The food was delicious... so good! It took a while to make, which is a hint to the freshness. It was a first intro to Honduran food and it was fabulous. The inside is simple with dinner type seating, a nice bar and a room with a pool table. I definitely recommend giving them a try.

Ok, boys and girls. Are you hungry? Are you looking for a refuge from so-so-tex-mex. Arrive here. I went today and ordered takeout, since I live in Chapel Hill and work here in Durham (NCSSM), and my wife does not drive. We got a beef entree and a shrimp entree. Wow. Incredibly tasty. Yeah, you want to try this place. Surprising tip: wine to accompany was a nice Macon, a white burg. It stood up well and complemented this very tasty food. Want to step out of the ordinary? come to this place and be very pleased. I shall return.Now get going and give it a whirl.

"Honduran restaurant on Guess"It's been over 5 years since my original review, and they've now very recently moved to a new location (further north on Guess Rd, just south of Carver), so I wanted to go back and try this again for dinner. This definitely seems like a place for "regulars"-- it appeared a lot of people dining or drinking here knew each other. Sadly, I was disappointed overall.Positives:Some of the dishes we got were pretty good. Mine was tasty-- I don't remember the name, but it was a steak dish with carrots, zucchini, and tomato sauce, with sides of avocado, lettuce, beans, and fresh hot tortillas. It was tasty.Negatives:The music was playing ridiculously loud. Everyone in the restaurant was literally yelling in order to be heard. We asked that they turn it down, and they nicely did so slightly, but it was still uncomfortably loud even after that.Many dishes seemed not as good (in quality or in value) as when I visited last time. My son got a chicken quesadilla for over $10. It was fine, and came with some avocado slices, rice & beans, and lettuce, but that price is high for a "fine" quesadilla. The beans were meh-- tasted like refried beans from a can. My wife and daughter had cheese (queso) pupusas, but they were not nearly as good as at other places (e.g., El Cuscatleco, as Susan Z noted)... almost tasted like they had American cheese inside. Even my dish, which I liked, was good but I'm not sure it was $13 good. My recollection is that the portions in the past were huge, and prices were lower, but I did not think so in this visit.Service was spotty. Waitress was friendly. However, I didn't get my dinner until literally 30 minutes after my dining partners had finished their dinners. They were apologetic, but it should have been noticed and rectified much earlier than it was, but they really just didn't check on us almost at all. Even when I got my meal, I didn't get a knife, which made eating the steak pretty hard. Their credit card machine was down, but they didn't post a sign or tell us until we were paying... fortunately, we barely had enough cash.Synopsis:There are so many central American restaurants in Durham (some new, some which have been around for a while) that I don't think this place really competes, based on our experience tonight.

Was in the mood for something different so I thought I would try this restaurant for a take out order...Love food from different parts of the globe and can't remember trying any from Honduras...I was quite pleased with the size of the orders and the prize wasn't too bad either in my opinion...Can't speak to the staff and the ambiance as it was a take out order but judging from other reviews, it seems they may have some authentic music there and it might be loud.....I actually love talking to people and hearing different sounds so can't say this would deter me but if I make it there I will let you know ...But as far as the food spot on ......Still have some leftovers that I will probably have for late night snack as the portions where very nice.....

I'm giving five stars to offset the fact that some people are dinging this place for their loud music (see below for some context). As for the food, I give it a very solid four star rating. While they serve the typical dishes one could get at Mexican or Salvadoran places, it is the Honduran options that really shine, in terms of taste and price. The Baleadas were fantastic. They are like a fusion between a burrito and a quesadilla, served on a thick, handmade flour tortilla. And for $6, it was a great deal. The Honduran Enchiladas were also very tasty. They are nothing like a Mexican enchiladas, being more like a ground beef tostada topped with cabbage. (These also cost only $6!) The crab soup with coconut milk was savory and full of plantains and yuca. Really good portion for $13.Note on the loud music: Yes, the music is as loud as a club. Lol. I am Mexican-American, and parties in my family have always featured such loud music blasting into the ears of attendees. Growing up, I saw this as an important part of the festive atmosphere, and I imagine the owners of this restaurant are trying to achieve this sort of party atmosphere for their guests. Indeed, when I visited this restaurant on a Saturday night, some guests were getting up and dancing and having a great time. Having said that, I personally have never liked the sheer loudness of the music at my family's parties, and the same applies here. So if you want to avoid being uncomfortable but still want some awesome Honduran food, I would suggest either bringing ear plugs (which I do at home) or calling to order some food to-go.

Food was very good, but as other reviewers have said, it's very noisy. If you love jamming to some loud Mariachi while you eat, then you will be in heaven. I was also a little freaked out that a lot of the young men who came in had a metal detector wand passed over them and one was patted down. It was 6:30 pm on a Saturday. I'm not sure why the restaurant needs to check its customers for weaponry, but that's not something I'm accustomed to seeing. At least you know no one is packing (shrugs.)

Tucked back off the road behind another business they were a delightful surprise in this time of Covid. I ordered the following for take out: pupusas with cheese and mixtas, chuletas, camarones rancheros and horchata. It was all quite tasty and the hand made tortillas were to die for. We are new to the area and were looking for a good place., so glad we found them. Reasonable prices, good portion sizes and a very nice owner. I look forward to a time we can sit on their patio.

The place looks simple but don't get that fool you, food is amazing and they prepare everything at the moment of ordering so I encourage you to order the food over the phone prior to go there. Pollo con tajadas or fried chicken with plantains it's their specialty and their baleadas which are handmade flour tortillas with refríed beans, egg, meat and chorizo are to die for. Their micheladas are great too!!!
