So I've never been to a Honduran restaurant but I saw this spot while riding along Stumpf Blvd. in…read moreGretna serving breakfast. They are a small and quaint storefront establishment, friendly, practicing social distancing and have a plastic partition separating staff from customers. Also, seating capacity is limited and tables are blocked off from use. Because I absolutely love Spanish food, particularly tacos lol, I popped in to check them out. I was hoping I'd find what I love in Miami and it's the Papas Rellenas aka (Fried Stuffed Potatoes). It's a Cuban dish but they are so doggone good. They have this savory and flavorful seasoned ground meat stuffed inside a ball of mashed potatoes and when I tell you they are the bomb, believe me lol. Needlessly to say, they are Honduran and do not cook Cuban dishes lol. However, I'm planning to come back and check out their dishes for either lunch or dinner. I'm eyeing the Burritas Catrachas (the Yelp Spanish event is working me lol). Check them out if you're in the area!

When I arrived me and my friend were in a good mood until the waitress walks up to us with an attitude, I asked for a certain drink and she shrugs and points to the fridge and says " all that in there is all we have " I got aggravated but I leg it go! I was trying to see what was in the fridge but I couldn't see. After my friend orders her food , I start telling her what I would like and she looks at me and stops and says "so you want what she wants ? " and I proceed to tell her "what ? I don't even know what she ordered I was looking at the menu" and she proceeds to tell me her order , like I cared ??? her order was different from what I wanted. So I tell her " I want the plate just like how it come off the menu" and she walks away. This place not only feels DIRTY inside but has HORRIBLE HORRIBLE rude miserable service!!!! I left after I couldn't stay and enjoy my food with horrible customer service. I WILL NEVER COME HWRE AGAIN

HOWEVER, there was another language barrier issue or mix up that happened a second time. We ordered the beef ribs and some how got the tajadas instead? We'll definitely be coming back & will be checking the menu beforehand to WRITE our orders down. Not sure how this mix up happened for a second time, but it's really no issue to us. But, I'm sure this could be an issue for others wanting to come to try this place. We didn't even mention it, they were delicious!! Just beware & maybe be open to trying something new :)

This place came highly recommended, so we made sure to fit it into our NOLA trip. We visited on a…read moreSunday for brunch, and I was able to secure a reservation for my group of 12 by calling the morning before. Check-in was a little chaotic...the hostess seemed overwhelmed and kept insisting that our whole group needed to be present, even though we were all there, just browsing the thrift shop across the street while waiting for our table. We ended up waiting about 15-20 minutes past our reservation time, but given how busy it was, we were grateful to have a reservation at all! To start, I ordered a Bloody Mary, which was so tasty and even came with a piece of delicious chicharrón which was such a great touch. My boyfriend and I shared the lox and the Alma breakfast. The salmon on the lox was fresh, but the portion was a little small for the price. The Alma breakfast, on the other hand, was great especially the beans. Wow! So much flavor. Easily the best part of the meal. My boyfriend and I were literally fighting over the last bites! Before leaving, we decided to try the tres leches cake. This version was a bit different from others I've had since it was on the drier side, served in a bowl of milk. An interesting take, and I really enjoyed it! Perfectly sweet without being overwhelming. While it wasn't my favorite tres leches ever, it was still a solid dessert. Overall, I definitely recommend this place!

Food was quite good. Arros con Pollo and Pollo Concho both excellent. Nicely fried chicken with…read morepickled onions, plantains and shredded cabbage. Service slow.

Honduran food in New Orleans? Definitely!…read more After Match Day, we went to celebrate at Tia Maria's Kitchen. Love, love, love this cozy mama and papa restaurant. It was busy at lunchtime, but it gave us time to reflect on the hard work that led to two of my daughters matching in great residency programs. Two years ago, we also celebrated another amazing match day with a friend who flew in from San Francisco to help our family celebrate. I had the San Pedro Maduro. A deep fried plantain filled with veggies, black beans, avocados, crema and queso. I had mine with chicken. One of my daughters did hers with more veggies. Absolutely delicious! My family ordered a wide variety of papusas and tacos. Definitely add an agua Fresca. Loved the horchata, but the favorite was the moracuya. Blackberry and passion fruit. So refreshing and delicious. Muchas gracias for welcoming our family and friends into your cocina familiar. We loved enjoying your family's kitchen on a special day celebrating another chapter of our family's journey. #2800

Like a Reddit user once mentioned "Tia Maria's is a godsend to this planet" and I wholeheartedly…read moreagree. Everytime I post about this place someone asks me where I am. I've been wanting to hold back on this review because I swear every time I go, there's so many people ordering takeout or dining it! It very much is getting the attention it deserves. I will say, pricier than your other honduran joints but this one is worth it. You can taste the love and fresh ingredients they pour into this place. If you can, go with a group of people so you can try a bunch of dishes. You seriously cant go wrong with anything on the menu but my favs are: Mega Baleada with carne asada and their pupusas! I've had the pastelitos, enchildas hondurenas, combo miramar, combo lempira. Note: Anything that mentions Hondurenas (tacos and enchiladas) they're different than your typical Mexican style!**

This is not the restaurant at this location. It's called Chilito's. The menu is pretty small. When…read moreI asked about the previous name, the waitress didn't know what I was talking about. Music was played super loud, so that we had to yell to talk over it, even though there wasn't a big crowd. The fajitas and pupusas were pretty good, although not exceptional, and service was slow considering the small crowd. They seemed to cater to the bar patrons who looked like regulars.

Good new spot with great service…read more I was the lone diner on a Sunday night and the waitress was kind and attentive. The complimentary chips were great and the salsa was more flavorful than most Tex Mex restaurants. I had the three enchilada dinner-cheese, chicken, and steak. The meats were a bit above average and the refried beans were average. I subbed ref sauce for all three instead of green and cheese sauces. I'd be inclined to return to try the fajitas because the prices are so fair.

The oysters I had that day were unforgettable. I was excited to finally dine in the restaurant. The restaurant is welcoming and well-appointed. The staff is ok. I didn't have a positive memorable exchange with any of them. Towards the end of my meal, I recognized who I thought was the owner. She helped run food and talked to guests, but she never came to my table. I continued to watch her laugh and connect with other guests, and never looked my way. That was truly disappointing. Until next time...
