Greeted when we arrived, clean tables and friendly service. Kathy was exceptionally attentive. Food was very tasty and reasonable priced. Margarita was out of this world! Our new go to place!
New place in town and wanted to try it out. It’s a great atmosphere, clean and friendly staff. They have a large menu to choose from and lots of Hispanic classics. I’ve seen other reviews about the wait time. Although we were not attended right as we were seated, it was shortly after we arrived. Not a ridiculous amount of time like others who have reviewed. The food was delicious. We ordered the 3 meat fajitas, sopa de res, papas locos (not featured as we ate it up quickly), arroz con pollo, pupusas revueltas, and tacos suaves de res. They have all the aguas frecas, we ordered a virgin pina colada, horchata, and classic Hispanic cokes (from the glass bottles). All classic meals were delicious. We will definitely will be returning.
Lovely, kind of homey-feeling, restaurant & bar - big, and out of the way, so not crowded - delicious, plentiful Honduran and Mexican food. Excellent drinks, sweet waitress. Easy parking.
Really good food, great prices, nice people.
Love this place! Fresh food, great service, clean and nicely decorated. I had the steak fajita and it was the best I’ve ever had. I like milder food, so if you like spicy, order accordingly.
Delicious! Brought my mom here for lunch. The portions were enormous. Definitely worth the money. Will be coming back
I got the salmon dish and my boyfriend got the plantains and stewed chicken dish, both were some of the best food we’ve ever had. Cute little restaurant with blue lighting and it was clean. Anyone complaining about service has clearly never worked in a restaurant with a lot of side work :) service was friendly and food was brought out as soon as it was ready. You can see the cooks preparing the food thru the open kitchen. We are looking for excuses to drive to Frederick to come back!
Good place food taste like home
