Great experience at Mi Bella Honduras! My boyfriend and I have been to several Honduran restaurants…read moreand Mi Bella Honduras is a worthy contender. It is located in a shopping center, so lots of parking available. When you enter, the restaurant is nicely decorated and the staff is exceptionally friendly and helpful. He ordered the carne asada and I ordered a fried chicken dish with plantains (I've had at other Honduran restaurants but can't remember the name). Mi Bella Honduras made my dish very well - the portion was large and I liked that the chicken was on top of the plantains to capture all the flavor. The sauce was delicious too, almost like a Cane's sauce but Honduran. Great food and good experience!

The lunch menu came with a choice of either soup or salad, which I got the lentil soup. The soup was thick and hearty. It was very good. My steak was cooked perfectly and well-seasoned. The sides were well-seasoned too. The size of the steak, to me, was sufficient and considered big for a lunch menu. I had a triple chocolate tres leches after my steak. It was the perfect ending. I received warm and excellent service throughout my lunch. The restaurant is big and suitable for all party sizes. There is plenty of free parking in front of the restaurant, so that is a plus point.

If you were expecting to eat Colombian food, avoid this restaurant. There was very little about…read morethis experience that wasn't disappointing. Not only was the service terribly mediocre everything that they tried to pass off as Colombian food was a joke.. An easy example of this is the beans. Having been raised in Columbia I am a huge fan of Colombian beans and rice. To my disappointment, what I got instead was charro beans claiming Colombian heritage. If this were just a Mexican restaurant it would be considered mediocre at best but as a Colombian restaurant it is a complete failure!

The small grocery store has lots of Salvadoran and Honduran products including a bakery, fruits and vegetables, cheese, medicines and more.

Dining in felt like I had transported to a restaurant in Colombia, so the ambiance really felt authentic. I sometimes crave yucca frita and plantains, and I believe I found the place for my quick cravings. The portion sizes of the meals will not leave you hungry! I was also able to ask for no sugar in my fresh fruit drink. The restaurant also has a bakery, which includes a variety of individual desserts or cakes for purchase. Outstanding server with quick service as well.

This Argentinian grill and market has been on my radar to stop by for the past few months…read more It is easily located in Spring Branch off Hammerly and Gessner. We came for the specialty market to buy some items from Argentina. This place was packed with every table taken and several people waiting on a Sunday at 3pm so it must be really good. We saw homemade alfores which I absolutely love and they even had the crackers we love at their small market. With pictures of Argentina and Messi on their walls you tell the warm friendly atmosphere although busy. Will definitely return for lunch or dinner after reading the Yelp reviews. This place looks legit !!

Oh.my.goodness. I LOVE THIS PLACE!…read more To be honest, we discovered it by accident since we were in an area about 30 minutes from our home. Needless to say, those 30 minutes are worth it and I've already been twice! There is free parking which is always a plus. As soon as you walk in, you feel like you are in Latin America. The decor is pretty neat and they sell traditional Argentinian candy, snacks and chocolates. We tried the Argentinian empanadas (because of course we had to) as well as the choripán and they were good but my favorite by far was the Chinchulines (small intestine a.k.a. chitterlings). Yum! Service has been great both times. If you are interested in having an alcoholic drink, call ahead of time to inquire as you are able to bring a bottle of wine but there is a corkage fee. I will DEFINITELY be back!

The staff was attentive throughout our visit, making sure our drinks stayed filled and the table remained clean. They even had a cute little photo backdrop set up for guests, which was a nice touch for Mother's Day. The food was buffet-style with a large variety of options. There were several protein choices including beef, chicken, pork, and seafood, all of which were well seasoned and cooked nicely. They also offered a variety of sauces to pair with the different proteins. The buffet was constantly being replenished, so everything stayed fresh and hot. My mom especially loved the root salad and lamb chops, while my favorites were the crème brûlée and the osso buco. Overall, there was a huge spread of food with plenty of variety for everyone. My only recommendation would be to have better labeling on what everything was as sometimes there wouldn't be a label otherwise My mom loved it, and we'll definitely be back.

I'm already looking forward to coming back and trying more from their menu. The customer service was excellent, friendly, attentive staff and the food came out in a timely manner. I've tried the Aji de Gallina, Lomo Saltado, Arroz Chaufa, fried yuca sticks, Causa Limeña, and La Regia, and every dish was flavorful and well-prepared. Their drinks are just as impressive, especially the refreshing passion fruit, mango juice, and limeade. Highly recommend.

I love, love, love this Peruvian restaurant in the heart of the Galleria in Houston…read more We walked in without a reservation because it was a late Monday afternoon and we figured it was safe to assume there wouldn't be a large crowd. Fortunately for us, that was the case as it didn't start getting busy until we were leaving. The entire experience was fabulous--including the music and the courteous & timely service! We were a party of four-and-a-half because my daughter was famished, wanting to satisfy her cravings and eating for two! We started with tapas of causa limeña, ceviche, and a baked empanada trio: spinach, cheese & beef. We sipped our drinks and quickly moved on to the main course: Ají de gallina, lomo saltado, arroz chaufa con mariscos and chicken strips from their Kids menu. To top off the amazing experience, we enjoyed tres leches and churros with a couple of cappuccinos; both decaf & regular. In spite of the casual name, Latin Bites Kitchen is a restaurant and bar--also serving sandwiches, soups & salads, family trays, and Wine Wednesdays with 50% off all bottles of wine (check availability). If you're looking for authentic Peruvian cuisine in H-town (Do they still call it that?)--this is it! Check out their online menu: www.latinbitescafe.com

The black beans that came as a side were rich and earthy and paired nicely with the plains I dipped therein. YUM! My dining companion had the standard (fried pork) griot and said it was excellent as well. And the food came out at what I think is a very reasonable pace given the freshness of preparation. Also, the staff person looking after us was very sweet and had a lovely personality! All-in-all - this place is very much a must-try!

Each one is packed with flavor, perfectly seasoned, and made with love. Whether you're a first-timer or a longtime Houstonian, Marini's never disappoints. A must-visit...and revisit.

The place was tucked off in plaza I had to get up in there and was so pleasantly surprised. So cozy and cute. They have a great selection of empanadas and all the ones I had were sooooooo good. The spinach was a little juicier than I anticipated but everything was made so fresh. The Tia Maria and eggplant were my favorites and the sauces were a great addition in flavor. The dessert empanada sweet potatoes was top tier. The filling was just sweet enough, definitely want to taste the others, especially since they make their own fruit fillings. I can see how they've been around for so long. New customer alert !
