Cafe Escondido — Restaurant in Roatán

I’m not sure how we ended up there, oh yes, to other places we wanted to go to or closed for Easter. service was horrible. The guy simply didn’t care. Warm beer. Super slow service in general, but the worst part was that-I ordered grilled snapper and it took one hour and 15 minutes and two reminders to get the fish. the waiter there gave me an attitude when , after an hour of waiting, I asked him how my fish was coming along.

So, food and drinks were just under 2000 lempiras and my total bill ended up being over 2400. I didn’t even want to get into this with them. I would advise to steer clear...

I also loved my meal... especially the crispy potatoes! Everything was simple, but so flavorful, and gave us a true taste of...

Café Escondido is easy to miss. There is only the door with a sign that takes you to 2nd floor above a dive shop. But it is well-worth visiting. They only open from 8 AM to 2 PM. Very good coffee and tasty breakfasts. Lunch is an eclectic mix of sandwiches and a variety of sandwiches, salads and main dishes. The front and side windows are open to the ocean and the West Bay main street, good for people watching. Board games are available. One of my favorite...
