    Margarita
    Kiera S.

    This place was recommended to me by a local and I was intrigued by Honduran food. Needless to say it did not disappoint at all. They had a deal on margaritas when I was there and it was tasty! I ordered the family sampler as my meal and everything was fresh, flavorful, and delicious. The canoa and pupusa were my favorite in the platter, and everything was so good. The decor on the inside of the restaurant is cute and the service was excellent!

    This was my first time visiting Mami Monchita's, despite living in the area for almost 2 years. Everyone gives this restaurant raving reviews, and I am disappointed it took me this long to make it out there! Our server was a doll. She was sweet, helpful, and friendly. She answered every question we had without frustration, and recommended delicious items. We dined on the patio which offered a cool, relaxed, and lighthearted ambiance. Bonus- we got a table fan to keep bugs away! That's really going above and beyond. The food was delicious- I HIGHLY recommend the cheese papusas. My only qualm is everything was a bit lacking in seasoning, for my liking, and salt was not readily available. We will be back, and are excited to try more dishes!

    UPDATE 09/14/2024 After ordering via delivery years ago, we finally made it here in person! It was a nice evening and the patio was inviting. We started with a peach sangria which was cold and delicious. Next we shared the anafres, a refried bean fondue with chorizo and flour tortilla chips. It was delicious. The family platter appetizer was recommended by Maggie, one of the employees, as a way to taste several dishes in one order which was an excellent suggestion! We split each item in the sampler and each of us was satisfied with the amount of food included. I wanted to try a plantain dessert so we split the empanadas de platano with vanilla ice cream, which is quite tasty. We enjoyed all of the dishes, and I want to return for both the seafood soup, and fish tacos!

    We visited on a rainy day for lunch. This is a cozy restaurant tucked away on a residential street. We were greeted by friendly and welcoming staff. The restaurant serves traditional Honduran cuisine and also gives a percentage of their earnings to a project in Honduras that helps feed and educate children. Everything on the menu looked wonderful. I had the papusa lunch platter ( think delicious fried corn bread with savory filling (either meat or cheese or one of each). I chose guisado beans ( pink seasoned beans)and casimento (black beans with rice and coconut milk) as sides. The platter also came with delicious pickled onions and shredded cabbage. My husband chose revuelto hondureno a chicken and rice dish with beans and vegetables. Everything was delicious! Portions are generous and the food was freshly prepared. We finished the meal with Honduran coffee and shared a flan. This was our first visit here (on a recommendation from a friend). We look forward to visiting the restaurant again and trying out the dinner and cocktail menus!

    A unique offering of Honduras food, something that you do not find in Kentucky. We found that fish tacos and plantains amazing to say the least. A very reflexed and welcoming atmosphere. The decor is unique and the service was efficient and very friendly. Beer is served in a frost frozen mud and the appetizer can in a heated clay pot. A great and unique place, we will be back.

    Perfecto...eaten here several times and it never disappoints...food, service and setting are great and maybe the best location to eat in Frankfort...not to mention the price is right!!!

    This was the first time I'd had Honduran food - very good! My enchiladas would be called tostadas in Mexican food - crisp tortillas topped generously with chicken (or beef), shredded cabbage, and cheese. The combo plate adds two sides. Mami's nachos were also good - crispy tortilla chips with chicken, beans, cheese, and jalapeños. Overall it's a pleasant, medium-sized location with an attractive exterior. A nice change of pace.

    As a local, this is one of Frankfort's best restaurants. Authentic Honduran food with friendly service and incredible drinks. So many food suggestions! Their guacamole with fried plantains is wonderful and a must try! The sampler is a great way to try several different items and the papusas! Wow!

    Tipico bowl

    Our favorite go-to restaurant in Frankfort. We've never had a bad meal or service out of the countless times we've been. I'd highly recommend the Maggie Margarita and Tipico Bowl to anyone wanting to try!

    We rolled into town hungry and a bit later in the evening. Thanks to Google we found this gem of a spot that was hit for the adults and kids. I'm pretty certain this was our first Honduran food experience as a family which made it extra fun. The staff were all super friendly and helped us with some great menu choices. The restaurant had a nice layout and great atmosphere. There was some live music on as we arrived as well. Everything we ordered was delicious with the Yuca starter for the win!

    This place is very good. It's best food we have had in Frankfort. Everything is fresh & we had never had Central American food. Great food

    I had a summer Friday off and decided today was the day that I tried this restaurant!…read more I am so happy I did, I had a late lunch and was the only one in the place, everyone I encountered was kind helpful. I looked at the menu but already knew I was ordering a Cuban sandwich. They had many favors of Jarritos I was happy before I even got food! I got an amazing sandwich with pork and cheese, and enough for 2 servings. I really felt like I was in Miami where I had my somewhat authentic in the US Cuban. They had a huge take out business, that means the folks working in the offices around them approve. I did not try any of the side dishes, but that is a reason to go back. The location was easy to get to with easy parking, the staff was friendly and make you feel like family. This is a bit of out of the way for me, but I will be back.

    You know it's legit when they are offering money orders. My husband got the Cuban, I got the Ropa…read moreVieja. The Ropa Vieja was excellent. Very flavorful and tasted fresh. The rice and beans were a little bland but well cooked. The Cuban came out fast, but the cheese hadn't really melted at all. The flavors all felt a little rushed, pre-packaged, even. The restaurant is very simple, and features a store of Latin goodies in the back. We will definitely visit again to try the empanadas.

    Y'all, go check this place out! It's located in a hidden spot, on Boardwalk and it's never busy…read more I'm afraid that if people don't find out about this place soon, it may succumb to the pandemic. The homemade sauces are to die for, let's just start there. And second, I'll admit that I've gotten carryout from there two days in a row. I will say that the online ordering platform on Yelp is powered by Grubhub and the prices vary from the dine in menu. The torta here is literally the best in Lexington, and I've eaten them from more local places than I care to admit. The bread was so fresh that I'm thinking it was homemade. The steak option literally looked like it had a pound of beef on it. The melted cheese and the guacamole were fantastic as well. It was like a fat cheese steak sandwich at half the cost of a usual cheese steak sandwich. Oh, and it also comes with an order of fries, which is a nice surprise. I've also had the chicken burrito plate. It comes with two burritos, rice, beans, cheese sauce and guacamole. The guacamole and cheese sauce is sooo good. I think the white queso is a regional thing and I'm glad, it's my favorite. I recommend asking for the cheese sauce on the side so that you can add some to the rice. Thank me later.

    The food was waaaayyy To Salty !!! We asked not to have our food seasoned , how ever the meat on…read moreour meal came back with too much seasoning . My daughter in law broke out into a coughing fit from the salt . Some people can not handle a lot of salt for health reasons . Very disappointed in the flavor.
