Huge space that seems part sports bar, part dance floor. 20+ tables, but only two were taken on a Friday night. Service was excellent, although our server didn't speak much English, and we don't speak much Spanish, so ordering was done with caution. We ended up choosing the shrimp (8 jumbo pieces amounting to half a pound, per the receipt), and a plantain with refried beans, cotija cheese, and entirely too much mayo. The shrimp was flavorful and spicy, but I'm not a big fan of smoky flavoring, so my date had most of it and washed it down with a liter of Coke. The plantain was very bland, with the beans being pretty flavorless and stale. Very disappointing for $40.

I love this place. My uncle & i are from Honduras. At the time, the only Honduran restaurant close to us remotely at the time; is in Tijuana Mexico , a place called Honduras 504. But luckily, we found this place in San Marcos. So now, instead of driving over an hour to eat Honduran food, we simply drive about fifteen minutes. Food here is delicious! I feel back at home. Highly recommend this place. Their menu is delicious!

Had a great experience here. Would recommend the pupusas, plátano relleno, and jugo de maracuyá fresco. Karen was a fantastic server and very accommodating. We also enjoyed the lively Honduran music.
