Typical Central American chicken place hidden in a strip mall on the west side. I passed it up a couple times trying to find it its that nondescript. I had the typical chicken dinner with rice and got a Honduran soda to go along with it. My meal was pretty average but good. I have had better Honduran food than this but I didn't hate their food her. I took bites from my friends plates and they were OK as well. Because we arrived with a group of around 10 of us the waitress and cook were a little overwhelmed but we didn't have horrible service and when the waitress forgot something and we pointed that out to her they corrected it right away.
If your looking to try out some Honduran dishes and your that far West it wont hurt to stop here and try their stuff out.
Tastes even better the second day. I'd never had Honduran food before and I hadn't spent much time in Belmont-Cragin. Soooo.... it made perfect sense to me to knock two birds out with one stone and get some Honduran grub in the 'hood. To begin with, the restaurant is larger than it seems. Set in a strip mall, form gives way to function, but the function works. Also *extremely* noteworthy: English is not spoken here. You need to come with a Spanish speaker. I spent weeks trying to figure out the menu, hours of operation, etc. by the phone and, finally, just conceded to driving there and poking around. Even though the menu is in English, the service is not and if you don't speak Spanish, you will be frustrated by your experience. You will.
That said, my food was enjoyable. There were some hit or miss items so stick with my picks for hits.
Hit -- papusa with cheese and beans.
Hit -- berry WATER. Don't order your agua fresca con leche. NO! Get it with water and you'll be so much the happier. Every sip I took was refreshing, flavorful and very satisfying. You'll have to take my word on it. Other tried to have a sip, but you know I don't play that. I don't know where your mouth has been. Back up from my beverage. No, not even a new straw will be enough to counter the mystery of your oral history. Sorry. Buy your own. You'll want to. And, you might want to have someone look at *that*. I keed because I love.
Hit -- fried chicken with cabbage, Honduran sauce (the name cracks me up; this is tomato and pepper-based; chunky like a salsa, not thick like a paste) and bananas (not plantains). Don't think KFC or, even, your mom's fried chicken. This chicken has a crispy skin that bears a closer texture/taste resemblance to grilled chicken. The components, on their own, aren't very exciting. When mixed together, though, the dish really comes together in a familiar yet comfortably different way. But, like I said, I actually enjoyed my leftovers more than I did the initial meal. Maybe the flavors had time to settle into each other. And, that brings me to my last point -- leftovers! For $9 or so, I had two filling meals. I like that kind of bang for my buck and I think you will too.
My first experience with Super Pollo was definitely a mixed bag that could easily turn anyone away from future visits; however, I found some of their menu items worth a return trip.
I joined a decent size group of Yelpers for an afternoon delight. I didn't think it would feel like an eternity but yeah it did. The service was not that good but I need to mention that this place wasn't equipped to handle a big table plus their regulars. That being said, it's just about unforgivable to have your patrons dying of thirst and forgetting an order too.
I did enjoy a new treat for me, a papusa. It was quite good and with multiple options which all sounded good. My missing order did eventually show up (graciously for free) and it was very tasty, Honduran pastelitos  aka empenadas. I'll be back to try this same combo with much less of an entourage although the company made this first visit bearable.
I live fairly close and I visit a store in this strip mall every few months or so but I never really payed attention to this Honduran place. Because their is a huge population of Mexicans in the area, I assumed it was another Mexican joint. Small place but large enough to seat our group comfortably.
My quarter chicken was very flavorful but the part of the chicken I got was poor so their wasn't really much meat on the bones. The corn side dish I got was pretty terrible, standard canned corn, unseasoned and drenched in butter. The black beans in a surprise scene stealing move were pretty good, flavorful and not too salty.
Service was ok but it could have had fewer mistakes and a little more organization. The language barrier was probably responsible for many of the mistakes made in terms of forgetting to bring out certain items, drinks,water.
Overall, I might return to check out some more traditional Honduran dishes,with my Spanish speaking beau in tow of course.
After many years of a reluctance to head west (maybe it's all the - at least I hope - fireworks I see and hear from over there), I am pleased to report that there is, in fact, life west of Pulaski! And what a tasty life it is.
Far from being in some sort of strange, foreign, uninviting world, Super Pollo sits nestled in a mini-mall surrounded by such "strange" wonders as a Big Lots! But beyond the sort of rundown exterior the food inside was top notch. As I had previously discovered with Costa Rican, Honduran resembled Mexican slightly but was different enough to bring new flavors and perspectives into my life.
I ordered the Honduran Enchilada "pero no carne." What met my eyes looked like no enchilada I'd ever seen. Open faced on a soft, thick bread it came covered with cabbage (which the menu oddly and hilariously refers to as "babbage") and a hard boiled egg on top of the usual bed of beans and rice. The flavors blended so well together and the cabbage added such a wonderful kick that I began to doubt the Mexican restaurants I was used to's preparation of the dish. And at $7.00 for three, I actually had enough for dinner. Take that local taquerias!
The chips and salsa (very close to a pico-de-gallo) were also some of the best I've had. Well worth the trip all on their own.
Others at the table found their food hit-or-miss. But, one thing I think we all experienced was some very odd service. We were warned about the lack of English that the staff speaks coming in. But even with our Spanish "translators" in tow (thanks Janet W. and Rafael C.), water took forever to be re-filled and drink and food orders were actually lost. We were a large group but this was still very off-putting.
Still the menu is huge and contains more familiar Mexican dishes for the less adventurous. And I definitely want to try some more Honduran food. I'll just, you know, make sure to brush up on my Spanish before a return, simple, not scary at all, trip on the 76 bus.
Located on the east side of a huuuge shopping center lot, back from the street. Â There is endless parking. Â You just need to drive in to find it as it is dwarfed by the huge lot. Â The shopping center lot (north side of street) is across the street from a McDonalds and Aldi (south side of street). Â
This place has both Honduran and Mexican dishes and is very modest in appearance inside. Â The Honduran food is the last few pages of the menu, and another reviewer said we should focus on the Honduran food, so I did. Â I give the place 4 stars because I enjoyed my food and some food of other people at the table looked very good, so I want to come back and try other things. Â Also I feel the waitress and cook tried really hard to serve us, a group of 13 hungry people in a small restaurant, along w/ a few other tables. Â It helps a little if someone in your party speaks spanish, but the whole menu is in both english and spanish, and the feel is very welcoming, so you should be AOK either way. Â
I got the Cena Tipica Carne Asada- traditional steak dinner which came with fried plaintain, avocado, refried beans, (and hard cheese and sour cream on the side but I am not big on dairy). Â I liked it - avocado was an entire 1/2 avocado, refried beans had interesting seasoning, steak was skirt steak (I believe) as I expected, and was moist and good. Â (So this is not the kind of steak you get at Gibsons, folks). Â It was $10.50 and many other things on the menu were cheaper so when I try other stuff next time I'll pay even less. Â Someone else got the Honduran enchiladas which are open faced. Â The waitress explained that enchiladas from Honduras come open like that. Â Anyway they looked very yummy so I will come back and get that. Â
They had liquados of various fruits, which you can have made w/water or milk. Â They have a lot of fruit liquados (shakes) listed on the menu and it seemed like they are all dependent on what they have that day. Â Â I had guanabana which I have never tasted before. Â It tasted good but pretty mild, almost like vanilla. Â Then I had a shake made from maracuya to go, which was pretty interesting. Â It is similar in flavor to an orange, but a little tangy. Â One person had theirs with milk and next time I'll probably do that - a maracuya shake w/milk. Â
For food next time I want to try the papusas and also the baleadas. Â Both were on the menu and inexpensive, and are supposed be very Honduran, so I have no excuse next time. Â
Here's a wikipedia page about Honduran food <a href="/redir?url=http%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FHonduran_cuisine&s=c73d72862bb4d66a31466a524255b36eeefe34f8e73d11a5dd2f36d83a731d06" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/…</a>
Four stars for its quick Honduran food.
I've been here twice, and enjoyed the food and service both times. Â it's a little hard to find, being stuck in the back part of a huge strip mall, but the food is good.
Their baleadas are good, with a nice balance of flavors, they have pupusas, other typically Honduran foods, and a really nice Sopa De Caracol (conch soup), and a selection of other typically Honduran foods.
They also have standard selection of Mexican dishes, tacos, etc., but I haven't eaten them there - go for the Honduran food!
