I tried the popular baleada, which is a home-made flour tortilla filled with a layer of mashed red beans, queso fresco, eggs and with or without meat (I got it with carne asada). The flour tortilla was just as other described - soft, buttery smooth, almost melt in your mouth goodness. The carne asada was dry and hard so I could've gone without. I bet a braised beef like barbacoa would've been perfect for this item. It also came with salsa and I selected mild which gave it a nice bright flavor. I also ordered a chicken tamale (they also offer pork) and I was surprised to find a whole chicken wing (no skin) stuffed into the tamale! I broke into it using a fork and hit something hard which turned out to be the bones. But honestly, this was one of the best tamales I've tried in a long time. Flavorful, moist, and a nice sized portion. It came wrapped in what I think was banana leaf. The service was fast on a Wednesday night and there were a handful of friendly patrons seated nearby. You could tell that they were regulars. The space was intimate with around 10-15 tables seating about 4 people each. Maya's Cafe menu has a wide assortment of dishes to choose from: serving breakfast dishes like chilaquiles, lunch items such as burritos, or soups and full on dinner plates with rice, beans, and choice of protein. There's even more selection and the whole menu is in Spanish so I'll be sure to use Google Translate next time!

Recommended by one of the staff, Ramón, the last time I was here, I wanted to try their sopa de…read moremondongo, tripe soup $22. The chef did a good job. The flavor profile is a savory and comforting taste increased by the pieces of bone in the soup. You can tell the soup was slow cooked with the tender pieces of tripe so soft. The broth was mid-rich with pieces of yuca roots that slightly thickened it with its natural starches. What makes their version of tripe soup unique from other restaurants is the addition of coconut milk. It added a subtle but distinguishable coconut taste to it. I know the taste because I grew up with my mom making traditional Burmese noodles that uses a lot of coconut milk. Ohn-No Khao Swè. This was a great lunch. Thank you Honduras Kitchen.

The Pollo con Tajadas tasted like fish--clearly cooked in reused oil. When we called, they didn't offer to remake it. Today we ordered a desayuno and three baleadas.

Hopefully they get it together, but as of today, they've lost two customers.

Honestly I wasn't sure what to expect but ended up leaving full and happy, the food came quick and…read moreevery bite had good balance, not overly spicy or bland and the portions were right where you don't feel stuffed but you're not still hungry, I liked how the flavors weren't over complicated but still really tasty, you could tell things were fresh and not sitting around too long, what stood out more than anything though was how genuinely kind everyone was, from the second we walked in someone greeted us and through the whole meal they checked on us in a way that felt sincere, not like they were just following a script, they had this calm and respectful way of doing things that made the whole experience better, even when a couple tables filled up they didn't rush anyone or seem stressed, just kept everything moving with a smile and that kind of kindness goes a long way when you're out trying to enjoy a meal.

May have eaten some when it's commingled with Mex. Eats. Cabbage salad had a white dressing similar to ranch. Dipping salsa pinkish from tomato? And chilies? Slightly spicy.

These are authentic Mexican tamales and I can just imagine the rest of the menu must be amazing.

This cavernous space was previously the Golden State Grill, an oddly anomalous but fairly…read moresatisfying Mediterranean restaurant that didn't seem like a compatible match with the Excelsior. It has become an authentic Honduran restaurant and now it looks like it belongs in the neighborhood. Is that culinary profiling? Yeah, probably... But there was a constant stream of customers through the door, which is more than I can say about the two times I patronized Golden State. 'Know your market' is what I say. Now my familiarity with Honduran cuisine is limited. I believe it consists of hearty bowls of the menudo-like mondongo soup at El Paisa and Mi Yucatán further up Mission. I forgot about asking whether they had mondongo or not, so I ordered the $17 Camarones Fritos (Fried Shrimp) off the menu where many of the plates appeared near-identical. It was a pretty standard lunch plate - stir-fried unshelled shrimp with peppers, fried plantain slices, rice, refried beans, and salad (photo: https://bit.ly/3j3KEgn). Kinda oily for my taste, especially the plantains. Ay caramba.
