Stopped in here for a "snack" upon arrival in Valle de Angeles. We needed to get some energy before shopping!Ordered Anafres Sencillo for 75 Lps. This is refried beans and cheese served traditional style in a clay pot and kept hot over coals. Very fun and very delicious! Served with fresh tortilla chips, sour cream, and hot sauce. One order was enough to keep us going for several hours. More menu items available (plates/entrees) and alcohol available.Location is just off the Parque Central. Very close to all the shops and bus station for Tegucigalpa.
My group visited the area and this place was highly recommended. The food was great and great service. Tipico plate was excellent and a lot of food, steak, chicken and sausage.
La Florida Casa Club is a wonderful place to enjoy with family and friends, where you can have the very best honduran dishes and excellent grills, as you enjoy high quality coffee at our restaurant. If thats not enough, we also have exotic animals in our
We were a large mission group, with over 40 people. We walked to this restaurant, as it was adjacent to our hotel. The driveway was dirt & uneven. I was nervous, because of my bad knees, I had a flashlight and tried not to fall. The food came out & all of it was good. It was typical Honduran food. It was hot & the drinks were cold. I had some kind of fruit punch, which was delicious. It was coconut flavor. I didn't know what most of the food was, but it was all good. The restaurant is pretty with nice decor and a great staff.

In terms of restaurant reviews, please keep in mind that everything is relative. What I would consider 4 stars in New York or Washington, DC is not the same as what I consider 4 stars to be in Valle de Angeles, Honduras. With that caveat in mind, I give this restaurant 4 stars and recommend it to anyone living in or traveling in Honduras.We were a party of four people--3 Hondurans and one American (myself) in search of the main meal of the day--lunch. We did exercise the normal precaution of ordering cold soft drinks in bottles or cans (i.e. no ice in a glass either) rather than a natural juice drink. This is standard practice when traveling in developing countries. Frankly, we did not exercise caution and did eat the side salads (one type had fresh lettuce and tomato with olive oil and vinegar dressing, and the other had shredded raw cabbage and tomato marinated in vinegar with some mild spices), which is "typical" or traditional. We did not get sick, despite our choice to eat the fresh salads.We started with an excellent traditional/typical appetizer, a simple "anafre" dip of refried beans and cheese with homemade corn tortilla chips. Delicious! Two people ordered the fried fish, which comes with the head and tail on it to demonstrate its freshness. The fish were meaty and delicious and included a side salad and rice or baked potato--very nice. One person had the pork tenderloin and the other had the beef--both requested these large luncheon meals with the "typical" Honduran sides, which include excellent refried beans (Honduras is famous for its small, red beans), white rice seasoned perfectly, marinated shredded cabbage side salad, marinated tomato, green pepper and onion salsa known as "chismol", and fantastic, ripe (think sweet) plantains with a bit of cream on top--yummy! The corn tortillas were very fresh and homemade. I ordered the beef medium rare. It was prepared perfectly in shish kabob chunks and seasoned nicely. The beef was tasty and not tough, which is important and not always the case in Honduras. We passed on the tempting dessert choices since we were so full.I can tell you that the ladies' room was very clean and painted creatively. It did not smell. It had regular flush toilets, sinks with running water, soap, and paper towels. These are important details for a good restaurant. In Honduras you always put the used toilet paper in a small trash can provided in each stall. This keeps the pipes from getting clogged. I noticed that there were trash bags, but no trash cans. My Honduran friends explained that the only reason that the trash bags in each stall did not sit properly in trash baskets is that some people in Honduras steal small trash cans/baskets from the bathrooms--sad, but true. So, some restaurants provide only a bag. The restaurant is open air, not air conditioned, which is not surprising. They do have good fans that help keep the flies off of you and your food.We were very happy that this restaurant was open on a Monday. Many places in Valle de Angeles are closed on Monday, despite the signs that say "Open Today". There were several people dining at La Tasca de Manolo, which in part led us to believe that the place would be good.La Tasca de Manolo is owned by a very pleasant, Spaniard actually named Pedro, not Manolo but he will answer to the name Manolo. I saw that the menu even offers the famous Spanish seafood, meat and rice dish, paella, if you order in advance. The restaurant is conveniently located at the main entrance to the town, so shopping nearby is very handy. It has several TVs on the walls, so it probably does a great business on the weekends with soccer fans.While in Valle de Angeles, don't miss a visit to the renovated town square with its red and yellow bandstand and fountain. If it is open, you should stop in the Spanish colonial church too. We enjoyed some "Michoacanas" which are fresh fruit popsicles from Mexico. We ate them in the shade and even found running water in the square to wash our hands afterwards!Valle de Angeles is a nice tourist side trip from Tegucigalpa. It is located in the pine tree-covered mountains of central Honduras. We were lucky to have beautiful sunshine, blue skies, a nice breeze, and a few clouds after it looked like rain. On our way back to the capital, we stopped by the town of Santa Lucia to see its church which had been recently re-painted a bright white. It looked lovely. The church is always closed on Mondays, so we did not get to see it inside. If you have a chance, go on another day. Again, the weekends are more crowded than the weekdays. I recommend the weekdays, but perhaps not a Monday.
