Sabor A Honduras

I recently tried Honduran food for the first time and really enjoyed it! It’s very interesting to see the overlap between different foods between the various Hispanic countries where often times the differences lay in one critical change. I’ll go into what I got and how it differs to it’s Mexican counterparts: - The Pastelito. This is similar to an Empanada, except the breading is thinner and it’s fried; making the texture more crunchy to chew. This one was stuffed with ground beef, potatoes, and their variation of the side salad which has pico, cheese, and a Honduran sweet cream which is their variation of sour cream, but it’s lighter, thinner, and sweeter. - The Pupusa. This is similar to a gordita, except the corn flour pouch is stuffed with filling before cooking whereas a gordita is stuffed afterwards. This one was stuffed with cheese and chicharron aka fried pork rinds. - The Platano Con Carne. This dish consists of fried sweet plantains, ground beef, refried beans with cheese, and Honduran sweet cream. All in all, I enjoyed everything I got. If I had to pick a favorite, it would probably be that last plate. I am a BIG fan of fried sweet plantain and mixing that with the savory meaty flavor of the beef and the light sweet flavor of the Honduran sweet cream makes for an explosion of flavors in your mouth. With that being said, it is a hole in the wall. The service can be a bit off-putting if you’re not familiar with the cultures, but I say this: if it is a bit slower or not as personalized - it’s not personal. In fact, that’s how you KNOW it’s authentic! At the end of the day, they offer delicious food at an affordable price and that’s why I rate them 5/5.
