I’m so glad you’re here. I was missing my Hemmingway daiquiri and you! I can’t wait to come back and feast. I love your new location.

I went for brunch with my grandmother amd thoroughly enjoyed it! Our server, Anielle, was helpful and sweet, and she made us feel very comfortable. Perfect coffee menu, fresh orange juice, and hearty food (good portions) with great flavors solidified our decision to DEFINITELY come back! The house made hot sauces are excellent, and you can tell that the head chef knows what's up. The food was skillfully prepared and the presentation of the plates and the rest of the layout were just right. I hope this place does well in midcity, we need more establishments like Alma's!

Personally, for the price point, it isn't worth it. The menu is very small, and no sides come with the meals. My partner ordered the chicken and got one small piece with his plantains for $18. The sangria was not good and was basically just red wine with fruit on top, not soaked and lacking flavor. I tasted more brandy than anything. My empanadas were good but still not worth the price point. The service was good, but if you're looking for actual Honduran flavor, I would reccomend somewhere else.

This place is overrated and overpriced. The flavors don’t wow me and have a better culinary experience at Tia Maria’s. You are definitely paying for them to be on the Carrollton Beinville block and that’s it honestly. There are many other Honduran restaurants in the area where HONDURANS actually frequent; I can’t say this would be one of them. Between Canal St, Banks and Tulane, would will find better cuisine at a fraction of this price.

Had an incredible brunch with some amazing gentleman today.
Such a great spot in the heart of Mid-City New Orleans.
Will definitely be back.
Thanks Alma.

We ate brunch at their other location so we wanted to try dinner here. The food was great, the server was awesome and the prices are good. We ordered the Chicharron and Mozzarella Pupusas to start. They were so good with the slaw on top. Then we ordered the Deep South chicken sandwich, the Bistec Encebollado and the Enchilada Hondurenas. We all shared the food and everyone loved everything we ordered. We will definitely be back.

I missed Alma so much since they left the Bywater. Happy to report it is still as delicious as I remembered. Pretty sure I am a fan for life!

Alma’s
is amazing! Our server Cisco was attentive, kind, patient and fun to talk to. The food was delicious!!! If I lived here I would be a regular. The sweet plantains were soooooo good. We also had the Brussels sprouts, pollo chuco and pineapple cake with pistachio gelato. Every bite was worth the calories! Sat on the patio on a beautiful night and it was perfect. Highly recommend. You’ll be really missing out if you don’t try this place!

We had so much fun and such good food. Really delicious and next level takes on nostalgic Honduran staples. We had the brisket baleada - omg the beans!!! - and the pollo chuco. Both superb. Great drinks too - both the cocktails and the horchata. Finally the mango pastelito was the perfect dessert. Yum! Our server Kim was a blast too!

Food taste and quality went downhill at the mid city location. We asked the servers and they said it’s due to chefs from Bywater resigning. Won’t be going back until quality is back on par.
