Yay for one more Honduran restaurant in Tulsa! If you haven't tried their food yet and wonder what…read moreit's like...similar to other Central American countries, the staple ingredients are corn, beans, tomatoes, salty cheese, grilled meats (chicken, pork, beef) and seafood. It's different though in that it also uses tropical fruits like plantain and coconut, reflecting the African and Caribbean influence. If it's your first time trying it, I'd suggest the baleada--folded wheat-flour tortillas with stuffing of your choice (fried and mashed red beans/meat and avocado/scrambled eggs), crumbled white cheese and Honduran-style sour cream. I also recommend the tajadas--sliced and fried green plantains with cabbage and other veggies and the meat of your choice (ground beef/chicken). It's a lot of food, so you might need a to go box. For drinks, my favorite is the tamarind water. It's so refreshing! To end your meal, ask if they have any semitas. They're like the Honduran version of conchas (a lightly sweet bread covered in a crunchy sugar cookie-esque topping) but dare I say---even more delicious! I usually just eat the sugary top of conchas but the semita bread itself is so good on its own. I'll come back to get just a bag of those. The space itself is definitely bigger than what it looks like outside. It's noticeable that they've done a lot of remodeling inside. There's plenty of seating space and a spacious bar in the back. The service was amazing! Super friendly and helpful. Aly, the owner, was there when I came in and since they weren't busy, he took the time to welcome me and tell me more about his business. He also owns the hot dog carts parked near the exits of Lowe's in midtown and Broken Arrow (which are amazing!). He also has them on their menu. Oh and if you're wondering what Catrachitos means, it's the diminutive of "catrachos", a nickname for a Honduran, which comes from a victorious 19th century general. It's also a dish consisting of fried corn with beans and cheese.

It had been a little while, but my friend and I went and had great service. It was fast fresh clean, and amazing portion sizes for what you pay. I love how unique the roles are and will keep going back.

One thing I really like about Tulsa is that, from a foodie perspective, it offers a diverse variety…read moreof restaurants and food types. From midwest comfort food to Caribbean fare to southern-style deliciousness, this little city has it all. In fact, I have yet to have anything even close to a bad meal here. And one of the best I had on my recent visit was a two-piece catfish place from Sweet Lisa's. This tiny little spot is basically takeout-only (though they do have a couple of very small tables by the door...which I nicely asked if I could eat at so my catfish didn't get cold walking back to my hotel, and they very kindly obliged). It's not a fancy spot by any means, but it's homey and has that family-owned vibe that I love in a small restaurant. The catfish meal came with two sides. It was hard to choose, but I picked house-baked mac 'n cheese plus blackeyed peas. It was all just incredibly delicious. The catfish was perfectly, tenderly fried. The mac was creamy and cheesy. And the blackeyed peas tasted like they'd been simmering for hours (with healthy chunks of a ham hock swimming in their delicious broth). I also grabbed a piece of their lemon cake, which I enjoyed later for a hotel dessert. It was all...incredible! I was there on a day when a new employee was learning the ropes, and she was so sweet and friendly, asking all my questions since I'd never been there before. While I ate at that little table by the door, a steady stream of customers arrived to grab their takeout orders. This place is popular!

I visited during the Juneteenth Festival, so the restaurant was understandably busy. Because of the…read morecrowd, the food took a little longer than expected to come out, but not excessively so. Most importantly, everything arrived hot and fresh, which I always appreciate when a restaurant is handling a large volume of customers. The service was friendly throughout my visit. The restaurant offers both dine-in and takeout options, with a good amount of seating available inside as well as televisions throughout the space. I ordered the four-piece wing meal, which came with two sides. I chose the collard greens and mac and cheese, along with the cornbread that came with the meal. The mac and cheese was the biggest disappointment for me. It was not particularly cheesy or flavorful, and it reminded me more of a stovetop boxed mac and cheese than a traditional homemade soul food version. It did not appear to be baked, although I could be mistaken. The collard greens were decent, but they also lacked some of the depth of flavor I was hoping for from a soul food restaurant. They were enjoyable enough, but not especially memorable. The cornbread was easily my favorite part of the meal. It was thick, moist, slightly sweet, and full of flavor. I would happily order that again. As for the wings, they were cooked very well. They were hot, juicy, and not dry at all. While I thought they could have used a bit more seasoning or flavor, the texture and preparation were excellent. One thing that did catch my attention was the dessert selection. Everything looked delicious, and if I were to return, it would likely be to try one of the desserts rather than another entrée. Overall, the experience was pleasant, and the staff handled the festival crowd well. While the food did not quite meet my expectations for a soul food spot, there were a few highlights, particularly the cornbread and the well-cooked wings.

You can't go wrong with either of the shawarmas- Lebanese style. They're so flavorful. I like the Classic or street wraps. You get different dips. My favorite is the tahini sauce but the garlic sauce is pretty popular as well. There are different options for sides. The tabbouleh is very fresh and the stuffed grape leaves are really good too. The shawarma fries are popular, can't wait to go back and try them. Service is fast and friendly. There is some seating available outside but you can also just take it to go. They also have baklava for dessert. So good!
