Estrella Hondumex Reviews

This was such a great little stop! We had gorditas, sopes, and Honduran style tamales. They were amazing. The waiter was very kind and stopped by to ask if we needed anything and shared the homemade salsas with us too. Everything was delicious. Do not be scared to go learn about Honduran style food and enjoy the fresh meats with the simple, delicious toppings!!!

Delicious food, generous portions and very kind staff. The food is well seasoned and good quality with fresh ingredients. We will be back!

Very authentic, reasonably priced, great food! Fried chicken and plantain fries were great. Large menu of food and drinks, plus the enthusiastic service can't be beat! highly recommended hole in the wall type place.

My family and I arrived in town late on a Friday night and we were hungry. A lot of restaurants near where we were staying were already closed or getting ready to close. We decided to give this place a try and I'm glad we did! This is definitely a "hole-in-the-wall" and not a polished tourist destination. It's a restaurant and a grocery store. You order in the grocery store. The menu on the wall is in Spanish, but they have English language menus available by the cash register. For an hour or so before they closed, I was surprised how many people were here. Not so crowded that we had to wait, though. The dining area is clean and comfortable. The staff was friendly. The food was delicious! We were brought some chips and fresh salsa once we sat down and with the exception of my favorite local Mexican restaurant, this is one of the best salsas I've ever had. My meal came pretty quickly. It was called Pollo Fiesta, which was chicken, queso, and rice. Lots of rice and queso, and good amount of chicken. By the time I was done with everything, I was very full. As others have mentioned, no cerveza, and the drinks are by the bottle. Since they're also a grocery store, they have a lot of options for drinks. Since it was late, I just went with bottled water. Would I eat here again? Absolutely! If you love good authentic Mexican food, you need to try it.

This place is a diamond in the rough! We didn't want to fight the crowds at any of the tourist traps in town and had seen this place a few times on the drive to our cabin so we stopped in. The service was great and friendly. We all got tacos and they were so freakin delicious! I also got a chicken quesadilla that was very good. But the star of the show was definitely the chorizo tacos. They're all served Mexican style: on corn tortillas with onion and cilantro. There's also a Latino supermarket with lots of snacks and supplies. I really loved this place and the people who run it.

I stopped here on a whim and ate a great burrito al pastor. Took it to go as it appeared that the restaurant was closed but the market was open. I speak no Spanish but managed to place the order and was glad I did. It was a good cheap eat when I needed just that.
