Brisas de Tela Restaurante Hondureño

My wife is a Honduran native of Tela, a city in Honduras, and when we saw this place, we knew we had to try it out. We had the typical breakfast, which was delicious: A canoa, which is basically a mature plantain that is fried to perfection with refried beans and a sour cream-​like topping, chorizo which is a Hispanic sausage, scrambled eggs, etc., etc.
The staff is sweet and respectful, the place looks clean (including the bathrooms), and the best part is that because the owners, staff, patrons, etc. are Hispanic, they have no qualms about allowing kids to run free around the restaurant, which makes other natives feel like 64^th at are right at home.
Cons: Longer than usual wait time for food & drinks.

This is a Honduran restaurant with a sports bar feel. The food is quite flavorful. The chicken stew (quarter of a chicken, chunky potatoes and carrots stewed in a tomato broth) that I ordered was the perfect dish for chilly fall weather. The dish also comes with the most delicious refried beans ever. I also ordered some pork tamales, but unfortunately, they gave me the wrong kind so I didn’t get to really taste it.
Because this order was for take out, I didn’t have the full dinning experience. It did take about 20 – 25 minutes for the food to be ready, though. So if you are looking for a speedy meal, this might not work out well for you.
They have a good selection for lunch special as well. I plan to try out other items on their menu in the near future.
