chucherias hondurenas

it's just that good. mason between us1 and nova is probably one the most forgetful areas in town, but it is home to a few culinary masterpieces. the most recent i discovered is the chucherias hondureñas. it's not the prettiest place, but when i stepped foot inside i scanned the kitchen immediately to my left. i could see the cooks working their magic, and the smell of the tastes i was about to enjoy captivated me.
a good friend told me about this place, and she says it's hard for her to go anywhere else. even while i was expecting the best, the sandwiches surpassed my already high expectations. the staff is as sincere and authentic as thefoodis. the rice, beans and plantains were good, but not extraordinary like the black bean deli in winter park. however, the bread, sauces and service are all great and i ended up eating way more than i should have. i'll definitely be back.

i came all the way from gainesville to eat at this restaurant. i am honduran, and i had been missing and craving my dear honduran food. groupon introduced me to this restaurant, they had two specials the first deal was:
1. buy $35 and spend $45
2. buy 65$ and spend $90
i had read all about this restaurant, how it had moved to a better place and about their amazing food. what did i buy? obviously the buy $65 ( on groupon) my plan was to indulge all thefoodi could and roll out of the restaurant. i did what i had planned for (i bought the application using the groupon app), but when i paid the bill my fairy tale had come to an end. i was unable to use my groupon, because i needed to bring in with me 2 other people in order for it to be valid. i felt horrible, the owner of the store co-owner (male) came storming at us, i could literally see his neck vein popping up. he was treating us as if we were trying to rip him off or something. little did he know i had written a post on the restaurant's fb page commenting on how delicious thefoodwas looking and had given several likes to his page without even going there. to top it off i heard him speaking in spanish (without knowing spanish is my first language) he was saying that we were tourists trying to rip him off! a waiter came to tell him that i spoke spanish and he immediatly came to us speaking to me in spanish. he started explaing why his groupon had not applied and offered us a "complementary drink". tooi late sir, i was already in tears, had paid the bill and started leaving the restaurant. i still have my $65 groupon and i really don't know if i will get a refund back. the money isn't the problem, the problem is how we were treated. the co-owner of the store treated us like thieves. i had already told some friends that we had to come to this place, i cancelled all of them. this has been my only review on groupon, but i thought they deserved it. judge for youself.
p.s the waiter was really nice!

bestfoodin florida. best service too. frank always takes care of us and i leave feeling rejuvenated every time.

rain whipped through the panhandle sending children and both dogs into our bed.  i had the misfortune of driving through the rain storm a second time on my way towards florida’s east coast.  after a harrowing drive full of blue haired piloted land yachts absentmindedly drifting across lanes of traffic and tractor trailers cutting off fellow drivers i arrived in sunny daytona beach.  i needed to relax and made my way towards chucherias hondureñas for lunch. a large colorful sign marked the location of the restaurant, and i walked though a covered stone walkway towards the front entryway.  chucherias is located at 101 2 nd street in a large low slung stone building.  a large live oak tree draped with spanish moss reached its limbs over round tables neatly arranged on the patio and dotted with bright orange and yellow umbrellas. i walked inside and sat at a small bar.  a man behind the bar greeted me and provided me with a glass of water.  chucherias specializes in latin americanfoodfro

this little restaurant is fantastic! it has the best cubans i've ever eaten and the lady who runs it is passionate about making really good, quality honduran food. she is also very friendly and generous. wonderfulfoodand good service, this is a place i will go back to every time i'm in daytona.

awesomefoodand experience! one of the best place to dine around the daytona beach area. make sure to have reservations ahead of time......

decided to go here as it rated highly on here and trip advisor. this restaurant is very good, the service is outstanding, but you do pay for it, in fact us is over priced in my opinion. we had a glass each of sangria which was very nice. we had corn fritters for entree, (shared) which were nice but nothing special. main, (which we shared) of shrimps (prawns), which was 8 prawns arranged on a bed of mashed potato with 2 chips, again nothing special. for sweets, strawberries marinated in grand marnier with whipped cream (also shared). everything was very nice but we have had better. we were staggered to get the check for $76.31 us dollars, then put a tip on top and the total is near $87. remember this is for 2 drinks, 1 starter, 1 main and 1 dessert. thefoodis average to aussie standards at best. i understand why this place rates so well as it is very good for usfoodstandards.

thefoodwas flavorful, robust, and well prepared. i wish i could have had room for dessert! i had the muscles which were prepared with paprika, artichoke hearts, and chorizo. the shrimp entree was perfect, the creamy sauce had just a faint coconut flavor. the cucumber cocktail is very refreshing as expected. if i were not dining alone i would've had a salad for some extra vegetables.

when jacksonville topfoodblogger, told me i had to absolutely go to this restaurant i believed him.  i was spending a few days in st. augustine, so driving down to holly hill  close to daytona was not a problem.  i left in time to take in a late leisurely  lunch.  it was a little strange once i arrived, my misconception of what i was looking for took over and i shot right past, circled around and finally spotted it.  the property looked like an abandoned strip mall, but there on the corned was chucherias hounurenas.  once parked and walking inside this is what i encountered;

greatfoodand outstanding service.. thefoodwas delicious and the dessert was of the chain "chocolate espresso tres leches "

gold star.. this place was absolutely incredible from start to finish. the appearance was gorgeous, thefooddelicious, and excellent service. it had a very pleasant atmosphere. we unexpectedly got soup that was so full of flavor, and fantastic little cookies at the end of our meal, and it was definitely the icing on the cake. we will definitely go back again, without a doubt.

the mojito was possibly the best in this town.foodis really good, very fresh. the service is improving each time we are there.

good food, not so sweet ending.. my husband and i recently went to this restaurant to try something new. our first impression was that we might have made a bad decision, because one of the waiters asked us if we had reservations and acted like it might be a problem if we didn't, even though there were about 10 empty tables. we did get seated, and then were helped by a different waiter who was very nice and gave great service. we were a little surprised by the limited menu, but on the other hand, a bit refreshing from some of the chain restaurants that have pages to choose from. we both selected an appetizer and entrees and waited. one of our entrees was the conch soup, which was delicious, but we were a bit shocked when the bill came to learn that bowl was $16. we understand that conch is not cheap, but were still shocked, it wasn't a huge bowl. however, all the items we ate for dinner were delicious. it was refreshing to have fresh, good food, served in the right proportions and dressed up with a bit of class. we had also decided on some desserts to finish our meals and ordered 1 tres leches cake at $7. it was a very small piece of cake that was ok at best. the alcohol was so overwhelming, that we couldn't taste any other flavor. other than that, and the one waiter, the service was great and the mainfoodwas delicious.

amazing. went there on a daytona vacation, and it was some of the bestfoodi've ever had. the sangria was great, the pupusas and chicken were amazing, and the catch of the day was amazing.

a+++

absolutely amazing.foodand service were impeccable! would come back anytime
