| - South Boulevard is lined with plenty of family-owned Latin American restaurants, after getting my car serviced I decided to stop in one for the first time. I was there between 4 and 5, understandably not peak hours, but I was one of three customers in the place and I only encountered one employee during my entire visit. The feeling was very strange, she only turned on music in the restaurant after I sat down and it felt like my friend's mother was making me dinner while her own son was away. She was very kind and suggested some Hondurean entree called pinchos, I ordered them with chicken. While waiting on my entree, the server brought me chips and salsa, standard for a restaurant of this type, however the salsa was very bad, tasted more like tomato soup. The entree arrived, I'd describe their pinchos as meat with onions and peppers on a stick arriving on a sizzling skillet. Also coming with the meal were rice, beans, plantains, and a salad with sour cream and pico. The rice, beans, and salad were average, nothing to rave or complain about. The chicken was very, very good. In hindsight would definitely have ordered a more traditional chicken dish. The two plantains were unusually large, almost like pancakes, and were hard as rocks. The bill for just myself was $12, which seems to be overpriced given that their customer base would be lower-income transplants. Overall, an average experience, don't believe I'll come here again
