Honduran Restaurants in Long Beach, CA

“Service was amazing and on point, she gave us great recommendations and was so cool and nice. The food is delicious. I love their chips & salsa, sour cherry drink, the rice and beans in coconut milk .. this was my first Honduran food experience and I can't wait to explore more. The flavors are awesome and I'll definitely be back. Plan to take a little walk and a nap if you go for lunch. It's a filling meal!“

“This apparently struggling authentic Honduran restaurant needs to be shown some love. It is not new yet has almost no yelp reviews. It was almost empty when I walked in. I am adventuresome and decided to take a chance. The decor is nothing fancy. Not warm and inviting.It's a restaurant that appeals to their countrymen and women. A family place. I don't speak Spanish and I think none of the 4 female employees speak English. I pointed at what I wanted on the menu. The pupusas are $4 to 5 or 6 dollars. Most entrees are $15 to $20. The 2 pupusas were doughy and a little burnt. I did not receive enough curdita, what I call Honduran coleslaw. I asked for more but we failed to communicate. Next time I will bring a friend who can translate. They tasted ok but not wonderful. I have only had Salvadoran pupusas when I lived in los angeles. I am a long beach Honduran pupusa eating newbie.Next time, I will have my friend who has lived in 3 or 4 countries in Latin America explain the menu. The menu selection looks interesting. Much different than Mexican tacos, burritos, etc. I will update this review when I dine here again with friends and share food.“

“I had originally gone to La Ceiba before this new location. Their food was good and had low prices. I was happy to see they had moved over the pandemic into a larger location with better access.The food now is I think a big improvement. While the first thing I noticed was that their prices were higher, I was prepared to accept that. However, their prices are higher and they have included a lot with that. The first surprise was the free appetizer platter that was delivered to the table. Chips and salsa, but also pastelitos (Kind of like empanadas but seasoned beef wrapped in a corn masa that was then deep fried to perfection. and I mean perfection). They also had homemade plantain chips, which were also nice, especially with the green vinegary salsa they provided (this is not a Mexican salsa btw). Along with what I think was seasoned mayonnaise and some refried black beans with queso fresco.Then the food. I ordered three pupusas revueltas, a classic pupusa. These pupusas were the biggest I have ever seen. Not only in diameter, but also thick because they had a lot of fillings. Not just an excess of beans and cheese but very equal portions of refried beans, cheese, and fried pork, all well seasoned, and firm enough that they didn't come oozing out when I cut into the pupusas. The flavor was excellent in my opinion. I have eaten a lot of pupusas from different restaurants in SoCal (and Alexandria Virginia, which if you're surprised by that, so was I). I actually couldn't eat everything because I was expecting smaller less filled pupusas, and so I ordered three, and the first half was sooo much food I had to take the rest to go. They were as good the next day.The atmosphere is less colorful as their old location, but it is much bigger and very pleasant. They seemed less busy, but I don't know why that is. I figured maybe 5 pm on Grand Prix Sunday probably wasn't the best time for a lot of restaurants that are outside of DTLB area.They also seem to have added more options for pupusas than before, and I would be happy to return and try them all.“

“Amazing customer service and delicious food! Have been here several times and have also ordered takeout. The baleadas are everything! Owners are also very sweet and super hard working. Have ordered to go several times during stay home order.“
