Ruinas de Copan & Bar: Reviews & Ratings
Good food got to try it. So tasty and different from other restaurants I recommend eating here.
This is the best Honduran place I have found in NYC. The menu includes all the Catracho staples. The baleadas are amazing and for me the ultimate comfort food. You can also buy rosquillas, cemitas, zambos and gusta as! The service is also great!
HONDURAS Eat the World NYC review: Come on the right Saturday night to Ruinas de Copan and you might walk into a performance by famous Honduran Garifuna band Bodoma, playing into the wee hours of the morning. Come a little earlier on that Saturday, after the lunch rush, and you might see the woman running the dining room also catering to her children, feeding the baby and letting an older son hook up a video console to one of the flat screens. From breakfast in the morning until the early morning of the next day, this Mott Haven restaurant goes through quite a bit of change and caters to the needs of just about everyone. Besides Hondurans and Garifuna people (groups that have a lot of overlap), the restaurant has the entire neighborhood in mind and does offer other meals, but the focal points of the menu have a distinctly Honduran feel to them. The two photos on each side of the name on the restaurant's awning might best describe what is inside, the flag of Honduras, and a bucket of beers. I was here for the flag and in that respect, the food. The antojito most synonymous with Honduras is certainly the baleada (3). Here the fluffy tortilla steals the show as it should, the savory beans, cheese, and cream inside play backup. These beauties have an eating culture very similar to what tacos have in Mexico, find them sold by vendors on the street, out of front windows in restaurants, or sit down for them at lunch and dinner.
Top notch, real life Honduran food. My son had Mondongo. And I did not. But he loved it! I had a taco and beans and that was adventurous enough for me.
Best Honduran food around! Service was also great and prices were very affordable. A mist go again spot...loved the Horchata!
FRESH FOOD, GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE! ALWAYS CLEAN, AND YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED AT THE PRICES ! AFFORDABLE !
Good baliadas I give them credit
Seems more like a banquet hall but is actually a Hondurian restaurant . Great beef baleadas or if you just want to have a few beers. Dont expect a great atmosphere , its a chatty latino restaurant where the waitress is watching the novela while you eat.
