Antojitos Hondurenos

I absolutely loved the pollo con plancha. The chicken was cooked to perfection. The place itself is super tiny… Good to call ahead because everything is made to order, it seems. Parking is around back from Colfax facing front. I didn’t see it until later, but my coworker recommended the pollo tajadas. My wife was mega jealous of my meal. :)

The description of this place says ‘Street Vendors, but we went to their little restaurant on E Colfax. I haven’t had a chance to catch up to their food truck yet, but I did see it parked in the back.
It’s probably the smallest restaurant I’ve ever been inside of, but we were the only customers when we first got there so we were able to quickly grab one of their 5 tables without an issue. The tables were all clean, but when I grabbed on of the condiment jars it was sticky… I really hated that as I was mainly eating with my hands.
Anyway, this place has some great Honduran food. My fiancé and I had the baleadas and the chicharron pupusas and they were perfectly, magically delicious. We did have to wait a very, very long time seeing as when we arrived and ordered we were the only customers in sight. We ordered 2 pepsis and did not receive them until the food came out. It was hot outside, and we were thirsty, but we waited patiently for 30 – 40 minutes (no joke).We could see the woman making our pupusas in the kitchen, so i’m assuming that’s what the hold up was. I can’t see that as a make ahead item.
There were a few people that came in while we were waiting and had their food within 10 minutes. I didn’t check out their plate, but I’m assuming there were no pupusas being had.
Anyway, if you want some great, cheap, authentic Honduran food, this is definitely the place to get it. I feel very comfortable saying that, as my fiancé is first generation Honduran American, and spent A LOT of time in Honduras when he was growing up.
If it wasn’t so far from where we live, we’d probably eat there weekly!

Honduran food in Denver. Try the Baleadas – a bean a cheese quesadilla with a thick homemade tortilla– for a sample of what is probably Denver’s first and maybe only Honduran option. There are not too many other choices but opt for the Pollo and Tajadas – fried chicken over a bed of fried plantain for a sure winner. This is the kind of place that keeps me saying these words: I love Aurora.
