Found this place after missing two places traveling through Knoxville. So happy we did…read more It's a small rustic place, very casual. It actually has a small grocery store in the back. The service is amazing and the staff is very friendly. Gives you a family owned feeling. We started with the Papusa's. So fresh and tasty. The masa was delicious and they were very cheesy. I could've ate this for the entire meal. I had the fried chicken on top of plantains covered in cabbage and tomatoes with salsa and drenched in a fantastic tangy crema. The chicken was crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. Jacob had the same as I, but with beef. The ground beef was so tasty. I could eat here every week. I have never had Honduran food before, so I don't know if I can say the following statement. But, I felt like grandma was in the back making a real authentic family meal.

This place is a mix between a sparse convenience store and a hole in the wall restaurant. But, if…read moreone looks past the informality, one would see a place where workers and families stop on for some tasty, home style South American food. I picked up a burritas hondureñas, which was like a corn tortillas sandwich filled with meat, eggs, beans, cheese, and avocado. It was good but the hot sauce on the table kicked it up a notch. The papusas were everything one could want and more. Cheesy, thick, and topped with a tangy curtido. I left feeling pleasantly plump and happy to see a place like this on my quick trip through Knoxville.

You…read moreknow that you are in the right place for ethnic food when you walk in and you are the only "gringo" in the place. At the recommendation of the waiter I tried the "Pollo with Tajadas"; fried chicken served with fried green plantain slices, cabbage, homemade sauce & dressing topped with pickled onions & shredded cheese. I also ordered a side order of yucca fries. Overall, the food was absolutely delicious. The fried chicken was some of the best that I've ever had, but I'm from up north, so what do I know. The yucca, the sauces, and the pickled vegetable were excellent. I didn't love the plantains as they seemed slightly rubbery or stale. Again, I'm no Honduran food expert. Maybe they are supposed to be that way. Anyways they didn't take too much away from the food. As I was eating I noticed that there were at least four other tables that had ordered the same dish, and like I said I was the only "gringo" there, so I feel like the waiter steered me right. The restaurant is relatively small, but bright and very clean. The service was excellent and fast. Th servings were ample and I found it to be very reasonably priced. This was a terrific find. I will definitely be back with the wife. I'm excited to try some other dishes.

There's a large section in the Middle of the restaurant with tables and booths And what looked like 2 separate bar seating Areas at both ends.

The cheese dip was very thick and when it got cold the chips broke trying to get a dip of it. The salsa was good and the chips weren't stale which in itself was great. When you walk in they have plenty of seating and can accommodate a large party. There is a bar to the side with seating at it and more tables and booths. The service was very good. Everyone was nice and very prompt. It is noisy a bit because it doesn't have anything to dampen the noise. It was a good experience overall and next time I will try some of the Honduran food they also serve here.

Since they are angled, you can only get to the ones near the entrance you use. There is a lot more parking behind the building. I didn't notice specific handicapped spaces, but you'll want to park in front if you have mobility issues. We entered through the front door. The foyer is brightly lit and colorful. We were greeted on entering and told we could sit anywhere. There is seating on either side, as well as down several steps to the bar area, which also has booth seating. The tables are closely spaced, so it would be difficult to maneuver if it was crowded but we were the only customers on our side. Initially, the background music was rather loud, so we picked a spot away from speakers. The music was later turned down to a manageable level. Our server came for our drink order right away. FYI, they did not have unsweet tea. He returned with our drinks quickly, but we needed more time to decide what we wanted to order. The menu is a mix of Honduran, Salvadoran, and Mexican. Most items are explained on the menu, but we also had to ask our server about several items. We decided on the Tajadas con Pollo (plantains with chicken), the Baleadas Especialies (sort of a burrito but folded instead of rolled), and an order of pupusas (pork and cheese, jalapeno and cheese, and loroco, a salvadoran flower). The Tajedas con pollo was a full plate of food. The protein was about a 1/3 section of chicken on a bed of plantains. There was also slaw and a nice pico. Although the chicken was a bit dry, the flavor was excellent. The plantains were nicely cooked, and the pico had a solid spicy bite. The Baleadas Especiales comes folded in a large tortilla, although the tortilla has a different consistency than a typical Mexican-style tortilla. It is more robust and takes a knife to cut if you want to eat it that way. Otherwise, just pick it up like a burrito. I selected beef as the protein, and it was excellent. Fillings also included avocado and a scrambled egg. This was more than filling, and very tasty. The pupusas were wonderful as well. The pork and jalapeno fillings were flavorful. The loroco was interesting. It had a veggie taste, but with a more earthy flavor. I would certainly order this again. We also found they have a drive through along the side of the building. There is also an entrance there as well, so if you park in the rear you do not need to come to the front of the building to enter. This restaurant is a great addition to the Johnson City restaurant scene. The flavors are different from the typical Mexican spices. The menu is definitely worth exploring.
