I've eaten here a 4 times in the last 5 or so years. Each time I tried something different and ate in the restaurant most times. The food is tasty, well proportioned, authentic, and consistent. The service is similarly consistent, kind, and chill. The ambiance is also very cool, relaxed, and clean. read more

love me some honduran food but this place was a no for me! came here on a not so busy afternoon and we had to wait more than an hour to get our food and the portions were small. service wasn't even good to at least make up for the food wait. read more

Decided to try this place because it's close to work and I thought a coworker had recommended it. Asked for the most popular dish and got the chicken and sliced plantains. Really good fried chicken on a bed of fried plantains topped with a salad with an interesting dressing that seemed familiar and also different but so delicious. I had to get half to go since I was pretty full but it was still good when I ate the rest for lunch the next day. The dish is called pollo con tajadas. read more

It was my first time trying Honduran food, and it was a must, since my family is from there. My mother knows how to cook Honduran food, but I had to try it from an actual restaurant. Since we in SF at the moment, we tried this spot with a straight forward Honduran name The restaurant is filled with Honduran art, snacks and the ambience from there. Our order was taken quickly. I went with a Baleada, which is a large quesadilla with your choice of meat. My mother got loaded plantains. Our food was to go. There were two major let downs. The first was the time it took: it was probably 4 of us at the restaurant, and it took about 20+ minutes for our food to come out. We were gonna eat in, but the wait was too much. The second let down was my meat was wrong. I had ordered steak, but got chicken. Non the less, the food was very delicious. Bird hat was out drink: yummy and flavorful. The food delivered with flavor; Makes Honduras proud. Definitely I'll check in again, but hopefully the wait is shorter read more

El Honduras Restaurant - Enchiladas - Honduran Near Me - San Francisco, California

COVID-19 TAKEOUT Some people love to hate on SF and some of these people have never even been to the city. Yes, SF has its problems (I was born and raised in SF) BUT we have one of the BEST dining scenes. Period. From artery-cloggin' $5 Silogs to ahhmazing pastries to award-winning craft cocktails to Michelin starred restaurants to extravagant $$$$ omakase with Hokkaido Uni topped A5 Wagyu...and almost EVERYTHING in-between, the city has it. And, IF you're down with hairy legs, The Mission got you with....tarantula tacos (at another restaurant)! I was on a hunt for cheap eats and came upon El Honduras Restaurant. I noticed that they took over Chef Manny's restaurant (Chef Manny was featured on the Food Network for his $15 Tasting Menu at Mr. Pollo). El Honduras Restaurant is open for takeout and indoor dining only. There's only one chef so dine-in at off-peak times and/or call in your order ahead of time. It took 25 minutes for my order on a weekday around 11 am. If you have a vegetarian in your group, they don't label vegetarian vs. meat takeout items so you may want to check your order. I've only had Honduran food once...many years ago but BALEADA...where have you been all my life?! For $5, you get a freshly griddled, housemade flour tortilla filled with eggs, mashed beans, queso duro (crumbly cheese), sour cream, and several chunks of avocado. Think a large Honduran breakfast soft taco. It's hot, filling, AND sooo deliciously satisfying. For a $1 more, you can add meat (beef, spicy pork sausage, chicken, or chorizo). I added beef for one of the baleadas and you get hella meat (more than 4 oz)! For a full meal, I ate 1.5 baleadas; one vegetarian and half of the beef one. While I love meat, I preferred the baleada without any as it highlights the thick, perfectly chewy flour tortilla with crisp browning. All it needed was some hot sauce and it would be golden! read more

Mala higiene, de por si no utilizan red en el cabello, & no pueden tan siquiera revisar que no lleve pelo la comida, es facil ver un pelo negro y grande & asta tocan la comida con sus manos! Y despues van hacer otras cosas I found a black hair inside of the tacos! At least they should check twice the food preparation!!! Poor hygiene! I didn't see them using a net in the hair or globes! read more

Really yummy food. Servers are friendly. Music box--you can play any choice of music if you put money in it. Dishes we ordered and loved: -sopa de mondongo: it's like menudo but made with coconut milk and vegetables and a side of rice -baleadas: beans, cheese, sour cream (it's sounds simple but it's delicious) -huevos estrellados: fried banana, hand made tortillas, eggs, cheese, beans with chorizo (pork) -coffee -maracuyan (fruit juice--really good) read more

I've never really eaten Honduran food with the thought of reviewing it because I grew up Honduran (I still am to this day Honduran!) and I didn't realize it was Honduran food specifically, just what mom made at home. A family occasion called for six of us to dine out (including a cousin, my aunt, my grandma, my mom, and one of my siblings). I was excited to see what Honduran food was like at an actual establishment. We ate for lunch, it was maybe a dozen other diners there, and the food came at an ample time. First came our drinks, and it was like a trip down memory lane, juices I hadn't had since I lived with mom, so I had to go around and try everyone's drinks before choosing my own. All portions btw were GARGANTUAN and cheap (food and drinks). *Agua Fresca de Nance* Yellow cherry juice! I don't think they're actually cherries, as they do not have nearly the same acidity. They are much more mild, like a cross between an asian pear and lychee. The beverage has an unfiltered, pale, yellow look. The looks betray how refreshing it is. I could see this in a light, sweet, nance martini, if ever there was one (speared pitted nances as the garnish). *Banana Soda* Very similar to Inca Kola from Peru, and just as sweet. The flavor is much more distinctly banana though. Fam said they sell these bottles all over Honduras, but it's definitely artificially flavored. Yummy, but would share the enormous glass bottle. My glass would require ice to thin out the sugary flavor. *Maracuya Agua Fresca* Passion fruit juice! Much more tart than all the other juices, and acidic, but doesn't lose its tropical feel. The sweetness did not interfere with the freshness, and the texture was a little seedy (similar to chia seeds), which I didn't mind. After trying everyone's drink, I chose to order this one for myself. *Guanabana Agua Fresca* I had to google the English name for this fruit (it was soursop), but it's my grandmother's favorite. Also very refreshing, not too sweet, and had a white unfiltered look. This one probably tasted more like pear juice. Sort of like a much less thick and much less sweet Kern's pear juice. *Baleadas* Almost everyone got a baleada. A baleada is at its most basic a tortilla with refried beans and queso fresco, and it's meant to be indicative of a family's socio-economic status based on how many ingredients are added. A super baleada at this restaurant basically meant add crema (lighter sour cream), scrambled eggs, and avacado. My little brother insisted on having ordered the perfect baleada, which included platano (sweet plantain). Very brunchy, and super cheap ($5!!!!) on a very soft but thick tortilla. *Yucca Frita con Chicharones* This $11 appetizer felt like it was the size of an entree for two. I always like to order my yucca fried because it works so much better with the pickled red onions, the chopped cabbage, and the light sauce over it (I asked my mom how to make the sauce but forgot). I loved it and almost went wild when I remembered there were chicharrones buried inside the mound of cabbage and fried yucca. The fattiness of the chicharrones completed the flavor profile. *One Bad Note* I tried bits and pieces from everyone else's food, but I was honestly too focused on my own food (I knew what I wanted, and I didn't have much room for anyone else's), but I will say one thing made me want to knock down a star: my grandmother hated her fried fish. She passed it around for everyone to try, and we all agreed it was fried way too deeply, to the point of lacking all flavor. Fried fish was common for me growing up, but this fish felt like a leftover. My grandmother was pretty upset, but my mom convinced her not to complain out of embarrassment of sending back food. Luckily, the portion sizes were so big that everyone else had enough left over food to make a plate from grandma. It sucks nonetheless to see my grandmother disappointed. Poor lady... *Conclusion* The highlights are the aguas frescas and the portion to price ratio. There aren't many Honduran restaurants to compare it to, but it did not disappoint (except for the fish). There was a large selection of shrimp dishes that I didn't get to eat because I'm allergic, but apparently my family loves those, so do not extend this disappointment to the rest of the sea food dishes. read more

Once upon a time, I had to wait until summertime to have authentic Honduran food when visiting my motherland. There are plenty of Mexican, Salvadoran, and Nicaraguan restaurants in the City, but food from my country has been virtually non-existent in the Bay Area. While there was (is?) another Honduran restaurant in the Mission in the late '90s, half of the menu was dedicated to Mexican dishes, and the food was never quite up to par. A couple of years ago, I found a Honduran restaurant in San Jose that makes fantastic baleadas (a thick tortilla filled with refried beans, avocado, crema, cheese, and eggs); however, driving an hour each way to the South Bay isn't something I care to do often. Thus, I was excited when I heard that a new Honduran restaurant had opened at the old Palace Steak House location. My sister and I checked it out last week, and I'm happy to report that the food here is almost as good as my relatives'. The baleadas are HUGE, and the plátano maduros are the perfect texture. The crema has a yellow-ish tint that I've come to associate with the type I'd find in Honduras. I've yet to try the rest of their menu (hence the 4 stars), but I'm looking forward to working my way through it with family and friends. read more

They relocated to 3047 Mission St in October 2020. I've had their pupusa, fried chicken, golden tacos, and my favorite so far is the super baleadas. Prices are great. They are not on the popular small business crushing delivery apps like ubereats or doordash. I encourage you to physically come here and get take out. It'll be worth the trip. Support your local community. Wear a mask. We'll get through this pandemic together. read more

Uhm... yeah.. I was expecting the food to be more flavorful Honduran food is something I haven't tried but over all very sloppy . The food was very late waited over 45 mins after I ordered to get my food and they had forgotten to make it. The girl who took our order was nice so that was cool. Other than that don't think I'll be coming back to this place. The live music was a bit too much for this place in specific. read more
