An AUTHENTIC place serving Honduran, Venezuelan and some Mexican food. Not processed - very filling and seemingly made on site. It's the kind of place I seek out and a rare find. Most patrons seemed to be from the countries where the fare originated, which is always a good sign. Beer on tap, great staff and the BEST homemade hot sauce.

This is a family owned, traditional Latin food restaurant. Food was great! Large portions for dinner. I saw huge cups of juice being brought to other tables. The outside is not inviting and honestly I would never have gone here, except my husband had eaten here before and knew how good the food was.
