My wife and I stumbled upon this charming Nicaraguan restaurant on our way home from a weekend trip, and we're so glad we did! It was the perfect way to cap off our little getaway.
I decided to try the fritanga, which I can't recommend highly enough. It's a fantastic sampler of various dishes they serve, giving you a taste of everything. Each component was bursting with flavor and clearly prepared with care. To drink, I had their homemade melon juice, which was incredibly refreshing and complemented the meal perfectly. My wife went for the day's special: grilled chicken. She was impressed by how tender, juicy, and delicious it was.
The staff was friendly and attentive, making us feel like family. They were happy to explain the dishes, which we appreciated since some were new to us.
If you're in the area, whether you're a local or just passing through like we were, definitely give this place a try. It's great for both adventurous eaters who want to sample a bit of everything (like the fritanga) and those who prefer familiar dishes with a Nicaraguan twist (like the grilled chicken special). Don't forget to try one of their homemade drinks too!"

Very nice people, clean restaurant, and delicious food. I went with coworkers and had no idea where we were going. They told me it was really good, so I was down to try it. I got the Carne Asada plate, which ran about $15. The plate had a nice size skirt/flank steak that was tender, juicy, and absolutely delicious. There was also the best plantains I have ever had, and the rice and beans were delicious. I usually don’t eat rice and beans from Hispanic restaurants, but this was a different level. There was also a crunchy corn tortilla thing with cheese in it that was delicious. The ingredients were all very good quality. I am looking forward to returning soon with my family.

One of the best burgers ever! I ordered the Nola Nica buger on separate occasions, and it was top rated as expected every time. Hidden in a corporate type building but amazing environment once inside the resurant. Wish they would open outside of lunch hours so I could come back more often! Don't pass this place, its worth traveling for!

10/10. Amazing staff + Amazing food.I’ve done both dine in and take out !
Every so often in life, you run across people who are doing exactly what they're supposed to be doing. These people were meant to make the best food possible, with excellent sourcing of ingredients, and the most kind and welcoming service. If you are by the airport in New Orleans, why suffer anything less? It's a 12 hr drive from my house, and I am considering the trip.

Food was excellent, very humble service with tons of gratitude, and a nice cozy place. It was a little difficult to find for a first timer, but it was definitely worth searching for!

This is my favorite place to eat in the Nola area hands down. From their warm, authentic hospitality to the freshness of the food…you can just tell these people love what they do!They literally have the best burger in NOLA!! My husband and I came one day for burgers and they were sold out so the chef, Carlos, offered to whip us up something. When I tell you, it was delicious…I just can’t!! It was so good. They are so sweet. I can’t recommend them enough!!! God bless Nola Nica because they sure bless me!! ??????❤️❤️❤️
