The food is always delicious. My sister and I tried it on a whim over a year ago and keep coming back! The service is really great. The building itself is pretty beat up but it's definitely worth going for the food! read more

Small place, service ok but the food needs help. I ordered Yuca con Chicharron and the Yuca was not cooked all the way and the Chicharrones was inedible due to it was very hard like to old. Not coming to this place again. read more

I watched an employee of this establishment walk out the back of the building and dump grease into the grass which is part of the creek. They have a grease pit closer to the building than their dump site. It's a disgusting mistreatment of Texas nature. read more

Came upon this place while looking online For Pollo con tajadas and was surprised to find a Honduran restaurant so close by. The food was good, got the chicken breast, the portion was small considering that I paid $28 for two orders which is confusing because it's supposed to be $10.99 a plate. I imagine they maybe haven't updated the menu. The banana was good love the sauce and the broth. Wish they added more sauce to the dish as the Breast was dry. My husband has ordered the thigh before and it was smaller portion then the breast. Would come again if I driving by but honestly going to look for other options. I would give the restaurant another chance read more

We where in town for holidays! Must say the flavor the cook gives the food amazing on point. The waitress and front desk very polite cheery.

Baliadas sencillas y especial delicious pollo frito amazing sopa de Mariscos was delicious thank you for the welcoming. read more

Great Honduran restaurant tucked inbetween a Haitian church and a furniture store. A friend I was traveling to Htown with is Honduran and she was craving her homeland food when we found this place and decided we'd make a pit stop here on our way back to Austin. I was new to Honduran food but I got to know it with a quickness. Baleadas especial: basically a large flour tortilla stuffed with beef, eggs, avocado, cheese and crema and folded in half. It's huge. I thought it was going to be small but the diameter of the tortilla was around 8 inches across. The tortilla was fluffy, fatty and it served as a great vessel to shovel everything else in my mouth. There was a soft cheese in there that had a slight funky taste but apparently that's how the cheese tastes. I tried my friend's enchilada and it was great. The plate comes with two large "enchiladas" covered in a cabbage pickle slaw, pico and cheese. I like how the acidity of the slaw cuts the fatty enchilada. I also ordered the huevos rancheros which had a great sauce! The plate also came with refried red beans, plantains and cheese. I was already full from the baleadas so I took most of this home. Other tips: -what looks like crema is called mantequilla (I know, mantequilla is usually butter, but that's how the Honduran's roll, man) -their "flautas" are tostadas at mexican restaurants. -their "enchiladas" are flautas at mexican restaurants. Service was friendly, albeit a little slow on a Sunday morning. read more

Definitely a great spot for lunch! New office location for me means new restaurants to try! I came here with my coworker and we ordered the Carne asada. He doesn't like beef but they made an exception and got him a plate with chicken instead. Nice! We both had the mirinda orange soda drink and it was good. The service was strange as we weren't immediately seated, but when we were seated everything was spot on. The Carne Asada was delicious! Beef tasted fresh and cooked properly. I was happy. For dessert we had the horchatta? drink. Good choice! If you are in the area and are looking for a really good spot for lunch, definitely check this location out! read more

It was my first time trying Honduran food in Houston and it was amazing, I had the "Carne Asada" it was delicious it came with plantains, avocado, cabbage and chimichurri. Definitely I'll come back to try the Baleadas for breakfast and the "Sopa de Caracol". I took to go the "Zambos" (spicy plantain chips) for my cousin and the "Banana Tropical". read more

Awesome Honduran food! Husband ordered the grilled chicken plate with rice/beans and the plantains. The seasoning on the chicken was delicious and I ordered the Mariscos soup, which was unlike any soup I've ever had. It's got crab, fish, shrimp, and other ingredients like coconut milk. This place is very unassuming and you might just drive right past if you aren't looking for it carefully. read more

I think this place is under appreciated because not many people were here during lunch. Most likely it's because it's in an odd location and the only hint of its existence is a Honduran flag flying near the entrance to this strange looking building. You'll have to have a good eye while passing by, be referred by someone, or specifically search for Honduran food on yelp to find this place. Don't be shy to give this place a try. It's actually a small and very neat restaurant. I tried seafood soup. It came with rice and two small tortillas. It was pretty awesome. Made with coconut milk, its like curry but not like Indian or Thai curry. It had a chunk of crab, some shrimp, banana, and other vegetables in it. (Insert smile face emoticon with hearts for eyes here.) This place is legit. I will be back to try some more things. Order at the counter and pay when you're done. Prices are very reasonable. read more

My husband and i found this place on Yelp whilst looking for somewhere to eat on highway 6. From the outside, this place looks grubby and a little rundown, we very nearly turned away from it. My husband is Latin so i am used to eating Latin food. This was BY FAR, THE BEST Latin food i have eaten!! The old Mama from the kitchen served the food to us, full of pride. She was super sweet and attentive. We didn't leave a bite.... In fact I am still dreaming about it today. I would definitely recommend it, not for the frills and the beautiful setting, bu for the amazing tasting food and homey feel to the place read more

Love this place. I have come here twice already. The first time I came I wanted to check in but they did not have a Yelp profile yet. Honduran to the max. All their dishes taste good. The menu is somewhat limited, but if you ask them they'll even make you Honduran dishes that are not on the menu. My dad loves this place so much, he's been coming consistently ever since they opened. He has tried everything on the menu already! The Tajadas con Carne are very tasty, so are Enchiladas. Best horchata as well, since the mexican style is different than the one they make in Honduras, this is by far the closest I have had. Of course, it goes without saying that if you're going to eat at a Honduran restaurant, you should always order a Baleada. Their Baleadas are really darn good, too. Next time, I am going to order a Yuca con Chicharron. It's not on the menu, but I was already told they can make it. Look forward to trying everything on the menu and many, many more visits! read more

I've never tried a pupusa and my boyfriend ordered pork (chicharron) for us and they were so delicious! They give you a container of some kind of cabbage topping and some red sauce to dump over the pupusas, make a big mess and chow down! He also tore up a fried tilapia but that's not my cup of tea. I got a chicken empanada to try and it was different from the Mexican ones I grew up on but delicious and mustard-y! Try it! It's so cheap you can try different items. read more

I'm from LA and I come to visit my family often. Unfortunately they don't go out much but this place caught my eye every time I would drive down Highway 6. After my third visit to Texas I finally got them to come with me. Hands down this place was amazing. Being Honduran, the minute I saw sopa de caracol I had to get it and it was everything I wanted. The wait for the food was bad but the food made up for it. I cannot believe my family has never been here (they live 5 minutes away from it) I am going to miss it once my vacation ends. 'Till next time : ) read more

We really liked it. The food is tasty & reasonably priced, and they have a good variety on the menu. We tried the more authentic Honduran food (like a picadillo with shredded cabbage over plantains) and it was tasty. Try a side of beans! Refried black beans, really good. We actually dipped French fries into the beans. We have no shame, but it was also delicious. Keep in mind one dollar sign means it's a little dive-y. But they've been there for at least a few years, and that speaks to their success. We've all known nice restaurants that closed within a year of opening, right? We look forward to going back. read more

This place is decent. I had the steak which was well cooked and tostones. If I order from them again I will probably order something else. The food was not horrible by any means, I've just had better. With that, i wouldn't discourage anyone from checking this place out. read more

Seriously ... this is supposed to be a baleada... this is barely smeared with beans and crema... no eggs , no dry cheese , no avocado ... this is ridiculous... me avergüenzo tener lugares hondureños que representa nuestras baleadas con una miseria como está... if you make any orders to pick up make sure you check your order... don't even deserve one star right now read more

REAL DEAL Honduran cuisine! Let me start by saying most of the Honduran restaurants I have tried in Houston have been mediocre. Ether the food is tasteless or worse the cleanliness/sanitary conditions have been sub par. Enter Roatan Cafe and Grill. The outside is unimpressive with a faded Honduran flag hanging in the front. The inside isn't anything to write home about either however everything is spotless. Tables, restrooms, and counters are immaculate. I had the Fried chicken with tajadas accompanied with the signature shredded cabbage/curtido. (Dish the waitress suggested) my goodness she was not wrong. Chicken was crispy on the outside yet incredibly moist on the inside. It tasted like never frozen good quality chicken. The tajadas were fried perfectly in what seemed perfectly clean oil. (No residue or excessively oil) The cabbage and the chicken were dressed in a delicious sauce/dressing. (I think it's made with mayo among other things.....If you're not big on sauce, ask for it on the side) My mom had the tamales Hondureños.... phenomenal!!!! The maza was tasty and moist. They were clearly freshly made. She had the chicken but they also have pork. If you're unfamiliar these are the tamales that come in a plantain leaf. Slightly different flavors than the Mexican tamales, but every bit as amazing. If you're a fan, you'll absolutely love these. Last but not least our unique drinks and dessert. We had the agua de piña limonada and agua de nance. FRESH-TASTY-REFRESHING. The piña drink is lighter while the nance tastes a little thicker (if you're in the mood for horchata, drink this) The coconut flan is unique, made in house, and very tasty. All around delicious. Diamond in the rough. read more

If your looking for some authentic Honduran food...... ROATAN CAFE AND GRILL is the place to go to!!!!! I recommend the deep fried chicken leg and thigh or the breast. It comes with plantain fries which I've never had before until today..... Super delicious!!! With a side of cabbage salad with a creamy orange dressing. And I had Tamarindo drink. Super good!!!! The servers were also nice and polite. The owner is also very polite and respectful. ALL IN ALL A HIGH 5 STAR!!!!!! read more

Found this place on Yelp. So glad I did. 7 months pregnant and craving Honduran food! It was delicious fresh and so good! It's so worth it. The wait was not bad at all! My food was ready in 10 minutes. The owner or lady who took my order was very helpful and polite! I can't wait to go back read more

In my opinion, I've had way better. I got the platano with beef. Their food taste too salty to me. Their Baleadas are okay. When I got here I was expecting something grilled but didn't really see anything appealing on the menu. I won't be back. As far as the restaurant.... it is clean read more

Pretty good - first time here. Honduran cafe. I didn't know what to expect. It's what you would think of island, Latin & South American cuisine.

I had the pollo frito and my boyfriend had the carne asada. We both agreed it was the best fried chicken and skirt steak we have ever had. Everything was soooo delicious, we have driven past this place a thousand times and are now sad thinking about all of the times we could have eaten here but didn't know what we were missing! We also had coffee and our total was only $23 before tip. I don't know how it could get better than that! read more

I love Roatan, I think is the most descent Honduran restaurant in Houston (the other ones looks like cantinas) ...The best plate is Pollo con tajadas. The only complain is that their menu doesn't have variety like carne guisada, bistec encebollado or with tomato, sopa de res, sopa de pollo... But over all a good place to go with you family!!!! read more

Wonderful breakfast food! The omelette and huevos rancheros were awesome. Very friendly service. We will return!

A pleasant place -- friendly service and good, fresh-tasting food. The coconut shrimp is a winner, albeit different from what I had expected (instead of being coated in coconut flakes and fried, they are covered in a tasty coconut sauce). While Roatan doesn't serve alcohol, it offers a delicious, nutty-tasting drink called horchata as well as a couple of nice juice combinations. It's open for breakfast, too. read more

Bizarre. read more

We visit Houston often, and my Honduran wife is always looking for a nice authentic place to eat. This place is very clean, the food is authentic, and actually made by a professional chef!!!

Love their sopa de caracol !! We have been here several times and always love their food. Something different to try each time as well.

First time trying Honduran. It was excellent. Had the carne asada and my daughter had the sambo creek fried chicken. Carne asada was seasoned well and delicious. Cabbage salad was pretty great as well and fried plantains. The sambo creek chicken comes with some kind of orange sauce that's sweet and really goes well with the crispy chicken. My daughter is a picky eater and she cleaned the plate. read more
