Centroamericana Restaurant

If you ever want to eat some Nicaraguan food while feeling like you're there, this is the spot to be! The food is soo goood. Lately one of my favorite dishes has been the shredded beef, and for sides gallo pinto, sweet plantains, and fried cheese. They also have a variety of drinks, my favorite being cacao.They also have Salvadoran pupusas. Definitely recommend!

It is definitely authentic made to order Latin food. A family owned hole in the wall place and every customer was Latino. Enormous glasses of fresh tea! They brought a bowl of pickled jalapeno veggies rather than chips and salsa.We had the fried chicken tacos (taquitos), fried cheese plate & papusas. Each plate comes with side of a coleslaw type salad.I'm realising that authentic Latin food has very basic seasoning, so I ALWAYS need to add hot sauce or fresh jalapenos. My Louisiana palate demands it.I was excited to have papusas again. These were good....not great. The fried plantains were very good tho. Everything else was just ok.

We were looking for a whole fried fish and found a red snapper here. delicious! fried hard but not overdone. This is our new favorite spot for whole fried fish.

RECOMMENDED BY THE OWNER OFthe best authentic Mexican/Latino restaurant below Canal. In particular the combo plate is her favorite. Cracklins, pork, beef, plantains, fried cheese, rice and beans...are just a sample of the bounty (see my pic).THE LOCATION...is one of the most unpretentious I have ever visited. Not only is it on a lonely stretch of Hessmer, blank and industrial but just blocks from Lakeside Mall, it is also wedged into the side of a ranch style office duplex. But step inside and this restaurant is a gem.

The food was hit or miss. The carne asada plate was delicious but the conch soup was nasty. Their juices are excessively sweet.I did not like the ambiance at all. The owner was sitting at the bar talking loudly about sports with a guy seating 3 tables away. Then another guy came in and he was on the phone cursing very loudly. It made me feel unsafe and ruined my meal. I will not go back.

I really enjoyed the choices. The pupusas were delicious and the fried fish was amazing. The pineapple Agua was refreshing as well. Definitely no frills.. nice laid back setting.

Excellent comfort food. Tastes homemade, like you went to a friend's house and her abuela cooked for you. I've been to this business multiple times and enjoyed the pupusas, the rice and beans, the plantains, the shrimp in jalapeño cream sauce, the chorizo con huevo, the fried pork, and the drinks. Everything has been exactly what I wanted it to be.

One of my favorite restaurants! I have been going there for years! It's small and cozy and the food never disappoints!

I love it. I love it. Home cooked, authentic Latin American cuisine. I don't speak a lick of Spanish but when I come here they treat me with such kindness and no judgement. I appreciate them

Amazing food and staff! The cacao is to die for ! With the combination platter , Delish!
