Empanada
Mike H.

Everything was authentically delicious... although the ACP was underwhelming, but the flavors were solid.

Empanadas
Lori M.

I was very pleasantly surprised when we stopped in for lunch! We are new to the Wilmington area so I always trust my fellow yelpers. First, we were greeted right away and shown to our table. Our service throughout the meal was outstanding. The restaurant is located in a strip mall and the windows are covered with art making it look more like a take out than a sit down. Do not let that deter you, it is very nice and there are many tables inside. Our server was great at recommendations and even brought us a sample of the soup that the kitchen made that morning. We sampled several dishes, and they were all authentic, fresh, and delicious. I was really impressed with all of the different tastes. I have never really tried Honduran dishes and now I want all of that time back! SO GOOD! The restaurant was very reasonably priced and offered a lot of dishes you will be hard pressed to find elsewhere in ILM. Definitely looking forward to going back!

Desayuno
Mandy O.

Yeah, we're happy. Stopped in the morning for some food and left completely smiling. We hit the lunch special and I had the Pollo Horneado- absolutely perfection. Chicken fell right off the bone into the rice and I loved every delicious morsel of it. Husband opted for the Desayuno and had eggs with maduros with queso fresco and fresh cut avocado. We started off with the plantains which were so fresh and hot and served with a zesty thousand island. You have to pair this lunch with a bottled actual real Coke. They do have beer available but it's 12 pm so the Coke suits me fine instead but always an option! We will definitely be back!

Baleada
Daisy B.

This is authentic Honduran/ Latin food! Very affordable and very clean which is especially important for us in the COVID time! My husband got Baleadas and I got pollo a la plancha and the Tajadas were amazing! As soon as we got there our server made sure to clean our table just in case and our food had great flavor we even ended up getting some pupusas To Go ! Highly recommend this place for anyone in the area! Comida autentica muy deliciosa y cómoda de precio! Mi esposo (hondureño) pidió unas baleadas y yo un pollo a la plancha con tajadas y todo tenía un sabor buenísimo! Hasta pedimos unas pupusas para llevar! Muy limpio y recomendable !

Chips and Salsa Drink Passion Fruit
Paula B.

My husband and I were in Wilmington and looking for something different to eat; we found it here. When we arrived Joe welcomed us and also was our waiter. He was very helpful and answered our questions regarding the menu and items in the dishes. This was our first time eating Honduran food. Joe brought chips and salsa to the table. He brought each of us our own cup of salsa, it was different from what we are used to but tasted good my husband had seconds. The salsa was green and not real thick. We were there during lunch my husband chose the seafood soup and I the chicken enchiladas. I ordered 3 and could only eat 2. There was no picture of the enchiladas so when they arrived I was surprised the enchiladas were not rolled and filled with chicken. They were flat (what my American style brain would call a tostada) but they looked and tasted delicious and piled with chicken. The seafood soup that my husband ordered had crawfish, mussels, shrimp, calamari, imitation crab and real snow crab along with some other veggies. Soup came with rice and tortillas on the side. He enjoyed the soup stated the serving size was a huge. He could not finish it all but he ate all the seafood. Ambiance is what I would call a local dive with authentic Honduran food. Service was great we will eat there again looking forward to trying different dishes

After

One of the things I love about Yelp (and being a Yelp Elite) is discovering new places to eat (as well as a myriad of other services) and then sharing with others such wonders. Today was no exception as I neglected to have anything ready to cook for supper, so I went to Yelp to find out what was available in the area. Honestly, the name, Gracias a Dios (Thanks to God) intrigued me, and then how it advertises authentic Honduran cuisine made it more so as within one week, that nation has been slammed by two Category 4 hurricanes (please pray for the people there). Reading past patrons' reviews had my juices flowing, and we decided that we just had to go there and try it out ourselves. As we pulled up in front of the restaurant, we noticed two Hispanic couples going in and entering; we discovered we were the only Norte' Americanos (gringos) there; that got me excited about the cuisine's authenticity. Our waiter, Felipe,' was with us quickly and answered the questions we had about the menu, took our orders and left some of the usual chips and salsa with us to whet the appetite. While the chips were pretty much standard, the salsa was not! A little soupy, but the flavor was extraordinary with a perfect amount of bite. The taste had me craving for more and looking forward to what was to come. On the menu, there is listed "Famous Honduran Plates," and that is where our focus was to make our choices. Kathy ordered the Pollo con tajadas while I chose the Carne Asada Catracha. The photos do not do justice, but until they invent some way to share the aroma and flavor of food online, this will have to do. The Pollo con tajadas consisted of Fried chicken served on a bed of fried rice green plantains with cabbage, drizzled with pickled onions, and Honduran dressing. We share back and forth so I can tell you that the chicken, while a little bit tough, was delicious; the sauce was smooth without any bite to speak of, allowing the chicken's flavor to stand out. When the submarine I was on visited Rosevelt Roads in Puerto Rico, several of us went into San Juan. One of the memories (that can be shared in public) was street vendors selling the fried plantains. The idea of frying sliced plantains was a new one for me, but the vendor wisely gave out free samples, and all of us bought a bag to eat as we explored the city. The flavor of the fried plantains brought that memory back and just added to the experience. My Carne Asada Catracha consisted of Grilled beef strips served with refried beans, a slice of avocado, Honduran cheese, and your choice of rice, fried plantains, or tortillas. I chose the plantains, of course, and thoroughly enjoyed them. As with the chicken, the beef strips were a bit tough, but the flavor was glorious! I had asked Felipe' for some hot sauce, and he asked me if I was sure (didn't want the gringo to burn himself up). The salsa was paste-like in consistency and had a nice bite to it (more like BITE). I asked Felipe for some to take home with me, and he seemed a bit surprised that I would want more. He did provide me with some that I will try with some eggs tomorrow. As the after images show, we did enjoy the food and will be going back soon to start working on the menu. An excellent meal with great service and a comfortable setting made this not only memorable but one that bears repeating over and over. The service was 5/5; as was proper, the wait staff had face masks on, so no need to order takeout; go on and sit down and enjoy the experience of this place. The food was 4.5/5; the only negative being both the chicken and beef was a bit tough. Easy to overlook, however, with the taste of Honduras that we experienced. Overall, real close to a 5/5 (maybe a 4.8/5?). All-in-all, this is one place that I will keep on a shortlist of businesses in town to enjoy again.

Greasy food and horrible service. Never again. The wait for food, beverage refills, the check, etc took way too long.

They have renovated the old space and opened it up into the adjacent store front. It's still a little tight and not long on ambiance but the food is amazing. I had the Texas fajitas which included shrimp steak and chicken. The tortillas appear to be made fresh. Portions are large. I had much more meat than guacamole salad, but it was well prepared and delivered sizzling. My wife had the skirt steak and was very happy with it. My daughter had a chicken dish which was smothered in queso which had just the right amount of heat. My son had tacos made with beef tongue- he is the adventurous eater- and ate every bite, paired with a tamarind soda. This appears to be family run - they were super friendly. Our waiter's English was not good, but we got through and he was very polite. They did not move us along and we needed to ask for the check when we were ready - once we asked we got checked out promptly. Pricing was very reasonable. All in all this is a great addition to the few restaurants in that area of town and as they get their feet under them I'm sure will only improve. We will be back as the food and friendly service is worth the trip.

We came around 7:30 on a Saturday night do I fully expected to have to wait. We waited about 10 minutes to be seated and told they were very busy so it would take a while for the waitress to get to us. We waited about 10 minutes after being seated to have our drink order taken. Our beautiful waitress quickly returned with our drinks and took our food order. She advised it would be a while since they were busy with several large parties. After that, no one returned to our table for 45 minutes while other tables were seated and served chips and salsa as we were largely ignored. My son in law was just about to go ask for some chips and salsa when our food arrived. We then asked the server that delivered our food if we could get the chips too, which they quickly returned with. Every dish we ordered was delicious! The fried chicken was seasoned and crispy, the chicharrones with fried yucca was crunchy, savory deliciousness. The shrimps cocktail had perfectly cooked plump shrimp and a sweet tomato sauce that accompanied it nicely. The pastelitos were freshly prepared and fried to a crisp. I would definitely plan to spend a long time waiting if you're dining in, but the food is fantastic!
