La Palapa Hondureña

La Palapa Hondureña sits on 2699 Biscayne Blvd, a restaurant that came into the market several years ago through the efforts of a Honduran lady. The pupusas are tortillas filled with cheese and accompanied with repollo--cabbagge mixed with tomatoes and a special sauce. The carne asada is roast meat topped with onions and served with your choice of rice, French fries, plantains or salad. Sopa de caracol is a delicious soup served in many seafood restaurants and several Latin American ones, but the one the La Palapa offers is one of the best I've tried.

They also have a great plate of camarones al ajillo (garlic shrimp) and pescado frito entero (fried fish). The shrimp come bathed in a rich, buttery-garlic sauce. The pescado frito comes whole--yes, head, tail, teeth and everything--topped with onions and lemons. Also, there's nothing better than being able to go to La Palapa and ordering a nice baleada. It's a tortilla topped with many, many things. At home I used to have them with fried beans, a cream similar to what sour cream is in the US, scrambled eggs, avocado and sausage. Overall, this restaurant is a great place to go.
