    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.

    Reminder: 3 stars means its OK. I don't believe in 'grade inflation." But here is why not higher…read more Came in Saturday afternoon....a few tables occupied. Waiter gave me a menu, came back in about a minute, and I was not ready.....then I waited and waited, about ten minutes, before he came back. He was the only worker in the front-- so he was waiting, ushering, cashiering, the whole operation, and it got busier after I had come in. Second, no alcohol. Not a deal-breaker but a beer with good food is nice. Menu is one for all- no real separate lunch menu. So for many items, youi are going to be paying $18-$28 for lunch. I got a dish that was area with cheese and eggs, and said clearly eggs of your choice...but I was never asked. Also got one side empanada. The empanada was the best thing, but it was TINY, I mean like 3 normal size bites. Flavorful and fresh; if I did go here for lunch again, I'd get a plate full of them. The arepa was very thin, so not a full tasting of the gritty cornmeal taste. Cheese on top was bland (I should have known) and then just scrambled eggs on the side. OK, and filling, but BLAND. I would go back for dinner and try the fancier steak or seafood dishes, if I was in that area.

    This was such a great dining experience! The overall ambiance of the restaurant gave a family…read moreouting vibe. Nice music and quality service. Our waitress made sure we were taking care of and that we understand the menu. When the food came out, we were thoroughly impressed by the taste of everything. It was really good and we can't wait to go again!
