    HonduPollo - Yuca con Chicharron

    I ordered Yuca and Chicharron, and I was pleasantly surprised! El Rancho (that occupied this…read morelocation previously) was one of my favorite spots for Peruvian and Latin American food, so I was saddened when it closed. Well, I'm happy to say that Hundu Pollo is a worthy replacement...at least with this first visit. Reviewing the diverse menu of Honduran and Peruvian items, at first I was going to play it safe, but I decided, let's see what they can do. I'm picky with Yuca as it is usually too dry, and I'm even pickier with Chicharron as it tends to be too dry, overfried, cold, or some mix of the three. That was not the case here. Although not obvious at first, there was a LOT of large, chunky Chicharron under the slaw and sauce. And, the sauce soaked into the Yuca just enough to be perfectly balanced and not dry at all. This place is not only delicious, it is a bargain for the amount of food that you get. I could barely finish half of the platter myself, and there's no way I have room for the chicken empanada I got with my order. I will be back...many times! Check them out!

    My friend and I had dinner here on a Saturday night around 8:00 PM. The restaurant is located by a…read moreshopping center on an incline hill & the parking spaces are tight, I would say it's best to go during the nighttime to avoid congested traffic. Inside the restaurant it is very tight so we got lucky that it wasn't busy when we went. I love that they do play Spanish Cristian music. I do admire that the wall was filled with pictures of places in Honduras so I took it all in. It is quite a long wait to order food even when the place is half empty. We asked the young lady to have the meal in the restaurant but 25 min later she came with our meals in a to go box. She offered to put in on a plate but then went around the cash register and placed the bagged food on the table where we were sitting, not what we were expecting. Absolutely no complaints on the food as they were generous portions of the carne asada, so much that I even had my friend help me finish it , but not enough of the "adereso" sauce that they put on the tajadas so it was dry, however the tajadas were soft, blandito. It came with avocado, two big blocks of queso blando, two tortillas, and refried beans (those were super dry so I did not enjoy it). My friend said he enjoyed the pollo con tajadas because it was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

Also at the end of 40 minutes the girl at the counter finally got the fried flour tortilla and put it together right at the counter like a subway. Imagine my surprise when I thought the holdup was from the kitchen....also nothing else was made at the counter during the 45 minute wait. Chicken was dry, beans tasted burnt and. Eh. Will not return, ever.

    I've only ordered this to go using the Uber Eats app, which I wish allowed the option or better…read moredescription of the items, including the various sauces packed with the order, because although generous, the 2 types of sauces provided are too spicy for me! Of the dishes I've had: champurrado (yum, except not securely packaged for delivery); chips & salsa (the salsa did not agree with my tummy); sopes carnitas (pork chunks were more fat than meat); tacos fritos de pollo (super dry despite the salad that's lauered on top -- needs sauce!), and the baleadas, my favourite is the baleadas sencillas (good portion, nice flavour, perfect texture).

    Freezing, I walked along 11th street on a Tuesday evening searching for Benito's Place. An old…read morefriend had suggested it but..I couldn't find it. I walked a little back and forth, but.. no. Across the street, I saw another Mexican restaurant on the corner, but it looked closed, or even shut down. Maps told me it should be there. Looking across the street my eyes were drawn to the second floor, and a series of neon lights for a tarot card reader and psychic. Taking this as a sign, I crossed. That's when I found Benito's and realized that it's neon sign was out. Walk too fast and you might miss it. A narrow door aside a bay window lit from inside. It's a small place with a warm, cozy feeling. Benito's is very much a neighborhood Central American restaurant, but FYI: no alcohol. Started with guac and chips, usual fare, delicious but nothing that singled it out. I ordered the Pollo a la Plancha and it was rather good. The chicken was grilled through but not tough, it still had moisture and you could cut it. Rice, greens, etc. and the small 2oz solo of black beans, all standard fare. The corn tortillas were interesting, not your usual thin tortillas, so it took my mind a moment to consider what I was holding. It had the thickness of a pancake, maybe a sope base, and reminded me of thick, handmade tortillas when you don't have the press. Curiously, the tortillas were not the same that my friend got with his Mole Poblano, which were thin. Granted, it was a cold Tuesday evening, but in two hours only two other individuals came in to eat. Seems like they do brisk take away business. I expect on a warmer night with higher foot traffic this place fills up quickly. The service was great, did not want for anything. We were served with two containers of sauce, green and orange. Ostensibly green chili, and habanero, I did not learn specifically however. When I dine in DC I can't help but confront the blunt question: Was it worth it? Yeah, it's good food, good people, and a good place. You'll feel comfortable there and leave full. But the price of dining out is too damn high, and this meal is on the higher side of what, ten years ago, would have been $15. I fear that prices will continue to be pushed higher and places like Benito's might disappear, so get over there because the food excellent, the people are nice, and it's just a warm space to hang out for an hour or so talking to an old friend.
