| - Since we were using a certificate we needed to spend $35...not an easy task here. The food is insanely affordable. Low on dough? Eat here. Want to feast? Buy a restaurant.com certificate and go nuts.
I've not had the pleasure of eating Salvadorian/Honduran food but this place provided me the chance to do just that.
I really enjoyed the papusas (cheese, bean/cheese, and pork). The bean and cheese were definitely the favorite out of the three, i'd skip the pork as I agree the meat is minced...not my thing.
We then split two meals the Camarones al Cilantro (shrimp, cream sauce, beans, rice, pico de gallo side salad) and Carne estilo Honduras ( char grilled steak with rice, beans, salad, avocado, pico de gallo). I found the shrimp to be a bit overcooked and the sauce heavy although overall flavor-wise it was good. I couldn't eat too much of this as it was super decadent. The sides and accompaniments were good. The steak was the winner at our table. It is not a steakhouse so we were not asked what temp we wanted it cooked to. It was a chargrilled thin flank steak (close to well...I'm a rare girl usually) but it had a ton of flavor and was awesome with a healthy dose of fresh lime juice. I'd get this next time.
Finally because we were nervous that we still had not reached our $35 limit (even with steak and shrimp) we split the flan. Flavor-wise it tasted good, cinnamony, though the toppings were lackluster (hersheys syrup and a defrosted strawberry.... sadface).
We also each had a modelo ..very refreshing and inexpensive at $3 a bottle.
As mentioned earlier knowing some Spanish would be helpful at this place...but we were able to order without any real issues.
I'll most likely return as it was pretty darn good and the price was right.
