I ordered online. For some reason, the order for my beverage didn't convey to them, but I showed them the email receipt and they got it for me quickly. I came seeking pupusas, and theirs were deliciously grilled and delivered satisfaction. The price was a bit high for lunch, but I could not accuse them of shorting me, either with respect to the abundant flower buds embedded inside the pupusa, or the pleasantly pickled sides. I took a chance on a tropical fruit I'd never heard of, and I got a ton of it that took me two days to drink, with a fascinating flavor and enough pulp to make it clear this was real fruit (although I'm guessing they add sugar to these things). I wish their menu made it clear whether the beans were vegetarian and I could have done with the ability to mix and match pupusa flavors rather than getting three of the same one, but my basic craving was fulfilled. read more

After having passed by this restaurant on Williamson Road, in Roanoke, Virginia, many times, and having viewed online, their lively menu with color pictures of some of their most popular dishes, I finally decided that it was time to try it out. I invited a friend of mine and we arrived at the place on a Tuesday for an early evening dinner. The restaurant's sign was very large, in front of their parking lot, and even contained color pictures of some of their popular foods and drinks. After we parked the car, we headed towards the glass doors entrance of the restaurant that had above another large sign of the restaurant. When we entered the restaurant, the first thing we encountered was the Host's station counter. The floor had white and gray colored tiles, and the furniture was a combination of tables with chairs and booths. The decoration was not at all fancy. Just a few poster size pictures of scenes hanging from the wall and a strip of plastic flags hanging from the ceiling. The Host/Waiter quickly came and greeted us with a friendly welcome and liked the fact that I could speak Spanish because that way he could communicate better with us. He took us to one of the booths near the front window area and handed us the menu. The colorful menu with color pictures of the food contained dishes not only of Honduras but of other Latin American countries as well, like Mexico, Cuba, Puerto Rico, Colombia, and Peru. Each dish was a celebration of Latin food heritage with its authentic Latin cuisine. As an appetizer, we ordered the Yuca Frita that came with an orange color salsa, which probably was made with ketchup and mayonnaise. The waiter also brought us a basket of tortilla chips with a small bowl with mield salsa for the chips. The chips were warm and crispy, and the salsa was thick and had small pieces of the ingredients it was made with. We both just ordered iced water for drinks, and for our main course, my friend ordered the Hunduran dish Tajaditas con Carne Molida, and I ordered the Colombian dish Bandeja Paisa. You can find these two dishes in the photo of the menu that I posted with the ingredients they contained. The menu had an extensive and excellent selection of Latin American dishes. When the food arrived, my friend enjoyed his Honduran dish of slices of fried green plantains with ground beef, and I also enjoyed my Colombian dish with beef, chicken, pork, Colombian sausage, avocado, sweet ripe plantain slices, egg, rice, and Paisa beans, with three exceptions: the beef steak was somewhat tough to cut and eat, the egg was cooked too much, and the "Cicharron," fried pork skin, you could tell it was not fried at the moment but reheated and because of this it was dry instead of hot and juicy like it should have been. Because of this, and because I know what a real Bandeja Paisa should taste like, is that I respectfully recommend that management and the cook work on these details that I brought up so that customers with the knowledge and experience of the genuine dishes in the menu could fully enjoy their meal and so the other customers would get a better feel and enjoyment of the real and genuine cuisine. I also noticed that during the time we were there, their were very few customers eating there. When I eat at a restaurant, I like to see it somewhat full. Yes, there were a couple of takeout orders and one customer drinking at the bar, but that was it. It could have been that it was a Tuesday early evening, so I will give it the benefit of the doubt. The last thing I want to bring up as positive feedback to management is that they should clean up the Men's Restroom of the restaurant. When I opened the door, it looked more like a storage closet of old things, and this made me feel very uncomfortable, especially after having eaten a large meal that I had. The only reason that I gave this restaurant a 4 Star is because I trust that management will read my recommendations and take action on them, if for nothing else, so that the customers can enjoy a good meal and to better maintain the wonderful reputation of the Latin cuisine that this restaurant represents. I wish them the best of luck. read more

My family and I have not dined in at the restaurant yet. We have made to go orders only. It's been about 3 times already the we have ordered Baleadas from this place and they never disappoint. They are consistent with the flavor and their size. It's hard to find a place that's makes them well. And I'm glad we found this place. Looking forward to coming in to eat at the restaurant. read more

Ordered taco salad. Received shell with orange sauce,, chopped lettuce covered in a hamburger soup with boiled potatoe pieces. Half way in there was a 5 inch black hair.. Awful. Not a taco salad. Ordered cheese burger very very well done. Review on this bearable.. we had ordered delivery. read more

Tajaditas con Carne Molina - get that! Sliced fried green (potato-like) plantain topped with shredded cabbage slaw, tomato gravy and ground beef, with mild pickled onion on the side. There's some cheese in there, too. YUM. Sort of a Central American take on poutine, but way tastier. Also got a better-than-average horchata and a to-go box. Toooo much for me. Service is very good, if not completely English fluent. That's ok. The menu has pictures. I felt completely comfortable and welcome here. It ain't beautiful, but it sure is good. I'm coming back. Go there! read more

The restaurant was closed for Thanksgiving so I did not get to enjoy this restaurant. Hopefully I can write a better review the next time I am in Roanoke VA. read more

I'm not sure if this is s family business, but it sure feels like one, and I liked the homely atmosphere here. I'm inexperienced in Honduran food so can't speak to the authenticity, but the portion sizes are huge and food is rustic. We started the feast with the guacamole. Considering you get a complimentary basket of freshly cooked corn chips and salsa perhaps it wasn't the best thing to do, but the guacamole was freshly made and so good that I have no regrets. We got the sopa de pollo and the pincho de pollo. I remember my eyes bulging and jaw dropping when they brought out the food because 1) they looked so good, and 2) the plate and the vat they used to deliver the food looked absolutely humongous. Some of the highlights were the bean paste, chorizo, and the crisp capsicum on the pincho plate, and the chunky veggies in the sopa vat. The only thing that detracted from this otherwise perfect dinner was how saltiness was so prominent, especially with the sopa. I hope they keep improving and do well. We'll be back. read more

My pollo calabaza was missing the red peppers and the cheese sauce! Very disappointing

I've had amazing papusas, and this place is not it. SO bready and flavorless, and the cabbage is not a slaw- just literally grated cabbage on the side without anything dressing it. The red sauce that comes with it is sweet and watery, the pickled onions are in a giant chunk for some reason, and the yucca is flavorless... and I've never had yucca that I disliked. They're either freezing everything or don't make great food. I'm not sure, but it's awful. On top of that, everything is not the cleanest and my partner and I both got horrible stomach aches after. I was excited to support a small business and have something authentic, but this was my worst food experience in the area. read more

The food and drinks here are amazing. There's also a full bar if that's your thing. Not all the wait staff speak English but the menu has pictures for everything so it's not needed. There's a good Mexican store right next door too. read more

Rincon Catracho - 3 Pupusas Revueltas Huaraches W Beef 3 Baleadas - Honduran Near Me - Roanoke, Virginia

Amazing Honduran food-the huaraches, whole fried fish and pupusas were all incredibly delicious and authentic. They have a pretty diverse menu including Mexican style dishes and some American food items mostly for kids, but I'd recommend the Honduran specialties. They also have agua frescas. The melón and the horchata are incredible. Very nice people running this awesome place too. Best Latin food I've had in Roanoke. Anywhere really. Rincon Catracho is the bomb. read more

Don't order for delivery. Items were not available and they canceled order extremely late.

Had a fabulous experience on our boys' night out the food came out very quickly it looked but must important tasted great drinks and beers super cold amazing customer skills from the manager read more

Enjoyable evening. No. Complaints about anything. Drinks were good and the house chicken is excellent.

I have gotten rice and beans take out and it's perfect. Quick and tasty. The servers are so nice, I just love going in. I don't speak any Spanish, no problem, everyone there's knows English. The food is fresh as can be, and the portions are surprisingly large! I love ordering the house made fresh guacamole. The "salsa" tastes like ketchup which really amuses me, cause I know this little kid from Honduras and he LOVES his ketchup (which he calls "salsa") something is lost in translation with the ketchup- salsa connection! maybe I should order "pico de gallo" if I want tomatoes and onions and cilantro etc Anyway, this restaraunt has ample seating for big parties and cozy seating for small tables. The restrooms are nice. The restaraunt is big , and it's really easy to find on Williamson Road. Parking's no problem. I'll check next time (tonight!?) to make sure but I'm 99%sure it's wheelchair accessible. I really hope this restaraunt sticks around. Good luck Catrachos and Catrachas! read more

Rincon Catracho Restaurant is a gem of a restaurant that can be easily overlooked in the Roanoke Valley area. Serving up Honduran specialities, it has a home cooked comfort food feel to it's delicious dishes. I highly recommend ordering some cheesy Pupusas as an appetizer, but be careful not to get full off of them as you'll want plenty of room to savor your main entrees to follow. But don't take my word for it, go try amazing Honduran food yourself at Rincon Catracho Restaurant. read more

Not sure what Honduran food is? Give it a try! You won't regret it! I came here with my family around Thanksgiving time, as we were looking for some delicious Latin American food to remind us of Guatemala. We quickly discovered that Honduran food is not Guatemalan food, but we had fun anyway! We all had an agua fresca to drink: tamarindo, maracuya, and horchata. We ordered a bunch of different plates to share: yuca con chicharron, guaraches, pollo frito, platanos con mantequilla, and fajitas. My favorites were the yuca con chicharron and the guaraches, but all of the plates were delicious. Our waitress was very friendly and patient with us as we took our time looking over the menu. Service was quick and attentive, and she helped us box-up leftovers at the end. The restaurant itself is cute and cozy, and they also appear to do a lot of take-out orders. Good to know for my next yuca fix! read more

We really liked this place. They are only doing takeout at the moment. Also let me preface this With I am not Honduran so I'm not familiar with what tastes authentic. But I am giving them 5 stars because I loved my food. We asked for 2 dishes that didn't have meat (I am vegetarian). We got cheese pupusas and baleadas. Omg both were delicious! The baleadas has beans, eggs, avocados, cream in them. Wow. I couldn't get enough! I definitely recommend this place . read more

The pupusas and baleadas were amazing. Can't wait to try the whole menu. Get the mixed pupusas (cheese, beans, and pork).

Customer service was very bad. We walked in and didn't know what to do if we needed to sit or was there a host to sit you. So we called while standing in the front door on what to do. A waitress answered and said to take a sit wherever so we did. The waiter I think has no idea of what to do. We asked for mango juice...... it tasted like water with a yellowish color to it. So we asked for water and a guacamole....... He comes back a few minutes later and states there's no avocado..... we go ahead and place our food order....... We waited...... and waited...... more people came in and placed their order........ got their food ...... us WE ARE STILL WAITING........ the guys that came in after us were done eating and US STILL WAITING........ until another guy asked us what we ordered and said he would take care of us !! That was correct as soon as he got our order we started receiving food an hour later ! Our waiter came and apologized because he took our order just never sent it to the kitchen...... the food was pretty good.... But not worth the wait ! And not only that when it came to pay oh he was nice enough to "not charge us our drink" oh thanks.....! Would not recommend !!! read more

I'd never had Honduran food before. This was a great first experience all the way around. They had online ordering, accepted Apple Pay, the inside of the restaurant was very inviting, the service was excellent, & the food was fresh and delicious (I tried baleadas and pupusas). I'll definitely be back. read more

we really really enjoyed eating here! It's definitely a nice break from the usual routine! We had the cheese pupusas (which were SO GOOD) and the carne Asada and chicken Stick meal (which was my favorite), we got rice and beans and plantains and salad and lots of awesome extras with our food that all rounded out the meal! Would definitely recommend and will definitely be back! read more

Thanks to yelp for the recommendations on this great little place. First time eating Honduran food and I was not disappointed. The Pupusas are huge, very delicious. The pollo al a plancha, came with the best plantains I've ever had, crips like fries but not greasy at all, the chicken perfectly seasoned and cooked. Ordered way too much and will be able to eat lunch and dinner tomorrow. Too bad I am not in this area more often or I would definitely come back to try some of their other dishes. read more

This is a great little find in Roanoke. It's not too far off the beaten path, but in a part of town you probably wouldn't drive by. It's worth the effort. Understand that this is a simple place and the decor is not the reason you make the drive. You do it to support a local business, get some great Honduran food and wonderful service. read more

Worst service ever we got there and the server took forever to get to our table.

This was my first experience with Honduran cuisine and I was blown away. The food was incredibly fresh and flavorful. I've been back every week since my initial encounter for take out. This restaurant gives a hefty portion, so I can always enjoy leftovers the next day! read more

This restaurant is the reason you check Yelp! before selecting your place to eat. OMG! The food was delicious. I've never been to Honduras, so I can't speak to the authenticity, but I have eaten in fancy restaurants on four different continents and I can say from my experience this would match many of them. It was a Sunday night, and there were only two customers, but service was prompt and the server courteous and attentive. The food came quickly and was piping hot. I'm not really sure what I ordered, but it was really good. The menu has a Spanish column, a sort-of English column, and pictures worthy of any Chinese restaurant menu you've ever seen. My meal included chicken, sausage, beef, and pork, all of which must've been marinated for quite a while to be so flavorful. There were fried plantains and some kind of salad. (Maybe lettuce? --not really sure.) There was a bowl of hot bean dip with chips that was served as a side. The meal began with chips and salsa, although "salsa" might be lost in translation as it was not tomato-based and more sweet than tangy. No alcohol on the menu, and I only drank water although there were some kind of "natural" beverages available. I tried the hot sauce, which for the first 10 seconds was benign but then which began a slow burn that lasted for five minutes--so I only dipped into the hot sauce once. Ample parking, and the restaurant was clean and spacious. This was my first foray into Honduran food, and it was different than other Latin cuisine I've enjoyed, but this was very, very good. It's worth your trouble to go check this place out and enjoy a meal. read more

Authentic Honduran food and a nice atmosphere. Excellent service and amazing Pupusas!

One of the best restaurants in Roanoke, hands down. We've been coming here since they opened, but hadn't been in several months. Went tonight and it turns out they changed ownership a few months ago, and now the menu is expanded and they have music playing, which really spruces the ambiance. Im pescatarian, and there didn't use to be a lot of options for me (I always got the baleadas, which was fine because they're incredible), but now there are SO MANY options. More people need to eat here so Roanoke doesn't lose this fantastic, authentic restaurant. read more

Can't say enough to express our enjoyment of the meal. The pupusas are to die for and the size of pancakes. The tomato sauce on the side made them even better, and we've never had this offered before. The chips are made to order and and amazing with the simple refried beans and cheese. The parrillada catracha was outstanding, allowing us to sample the many meats and other offerings they had. Not the mention, the horchata as off the chain! We will be back, bring it home, take this to parties, etc... Service was excellent and the smiles we received from our server seemed humble, appreciative, and genuine. She enjoyed us being there as much as we did. Highly recommend! read more
