I didn't know anything about Honduran food but the nice people asked me questions about flavors and helped me get a marvelous dinner. Wish I lived here so I could come back!
This place is a small, family owned restaurant in the corner of a small shopping plaza. As a Honduran, I'm pleased to say that this place makes some delicious and authentic Honduran food. The baleadas and pupusas are great, the sopa de rez (beef soup) is homey, and the pollo chuco (fried chicken with plantains and slaw( was well worth the wait. The natural juices were very good too. Highly recommend.

This is authentic Honduran food, local, like you find when you are actually in Honduras. Service was excellent and this is a restaurant more for the experience if you're not used to Honduran food. Servings are enormous so either share a portion or come with a huge appetite! I had the fried chicken which consisted of two drumsticks and a thigh, crispy fried with almost a sweet sauce and it came with a mound of shredded cabbage with some kind of sauce on top and some fried plantain that was served at room temperature, almost crispy, not at all soft. Very different. My husband ordered the folded tortilla which was homemade and stuffed full with beef, avocado, sour cream, and red beans. Three of them are in one serving so we have food left over for a week. This is a hole in the wall dive kind of restaurant that is thoroughly authentic so come for the food and the service.
HIDDEN GEM ALERT. Have you ever tried Honduran food? If not, you have to try La Catracha! This place is delicious AND affordable! So what did I order? I got their pupusas and roasted beef strips! The pupusas were filled with perfectly seasoned refried beans and cheese. They were so so good. I never had anything like them! And the roasted beef strips were insanely juicy and tender. I especially loved the unique seasoning. My roasted beef strips also came with rice, refried beans, cheese, fresh avocado, and some cabbage salad. So much food! I'm actually so excited to go back. Next time, I'm definitely going to try their chicken and fish. Also, HUGE shoutout to Rachel, the daughter of this wonderful family-owned business. Rachel is the sweetest and so attentive. I can see why so many single men come here to eat! Just kidding! But really, thank you Rachel!
Every time I visit Charlotte I have to stop by. Everything taste homemade and fresh. A good spot if you're looking for authentic Honduran food .
This is a small family owned restaurant that does things right! This review is based almost entirely on the food which is fantastic! It's a small, simple place that's nicely decorated but definitely NOT fancy. In fact, it's a little divey but charming nonetheless! They don't serve alcohol so forget about that. This place is all about the food! I think they have the best pupusas in town! They have a very distinct corn flavor and are always cooked perfectly with a crunch on the outside of them. They are served with pickled onions and shredded cabbage plus a homemade sauce on the side. Outstanding! Everything that I have had here has been great! Some dishes that I will mention are the fried chicken which is as close to homemade fried chicken as you will ever find in a restaurant. If you want great food at reasonable prices in a casual atmosphere than this is your place!
Delicious. Fast. Cheap. You can have it all! Do bring some Español or you'll have a tough time. But everyone was super nice. Felt like I was back in Queens. Love it! Carne Asada con platanos maduros.
