If you’re looking for traditional Honduran food, Pollo K-Tracho is a hell of a fine place to start.
Open off Western Avenue for about a year, the restaurant has a full menu of Honduran staples like banana leaf-wrapped nacatamales, boiled egg-topped tacos, coconut-tinged conch soup, and various fried meats arranged on beds of tajadas, with as many things made in-house as possible, from its soursop, maracuya, and nance juices to the incredible flour tortillas wrapping your baleadas.
The wee strip mall space, which flies a huge map of Honduras over its vermilion wall, is owned by Carla Ramirez and her parents, mom Calixta from Honduras, and papa Jose, from Nicaragua. The family opened Pollo K-Tracho about a year ago, in an attempt to do for Honduran food what they did for the Nicaraguan eating experience at their restaurant across the street, Sabores Nicaragüenses.
