    I was excited to visit the restaurant; but I was a little bit disappointed with the service. Even thought the restaurant was not crowded when we arrived, we had to wait and asked for a waiter to wait on us. The plantains were super delicious as well as the pupusas, and priced reasonably. I ordered the Tuna dish and one of the most expensive on the menu ( $29.00) and I was disappointed when it was served on a round tortilla and good flavor, but too “ citric”. I will go back to the restaurant, but will be very careful on what to order.

    If you liked the Marigny version, you’ll like this more homogenized uptown one. Probably more than twice the size but with the same unique menu and friendly staff it’s closer to uptown and has great parking. Yeah, service was a little slow but a certain tolerance for a new operation is warranted. We’ll be returning regularly. Another go to venue for us. 😀

    Came on time to the restaurant, and no waiter came over to my table to take my order for 40 minutes. Then the shrimp omelette omitted the cheese as described in the menu. Not a good start for a promising new Honduran eatery.
