Hondumex Authentic Mexican Restaurant — Restaurant in Philadelphia

Had the burrito California. It was described as a fully loaded, large burrito, with choice of grilled steak, chicken or shrimp. When it arrived, I was not impressed, but thought that looks could be deceiving, as it was VERY plain looking flour tortilla, with no topping at all ! (should have had queso on top, IMO) As I cut into it and took a bite, I immediately noticed that there wasn't any sour cream, guacamole or salsa Verde. Also, the grilled steak was overcooked and burnt, as well as the bottom of the tortilla was scorched. Against my better judgement, I continued on, hoping to finally find some sour cream, guacamole and salsa Verde, but after eating half of it, still none to be found. I then told the waiter and he assured me that it would be some inside, but I told him after eating HALF the burrito, I found none. He then offered to bring me sides of SC, Guac and SV, which I then added and finished it off. Had I not been so hungry, I should have sent it back and ordered something else, as several other dishes, that others had ordered looked VERY good ! Overall, seemed like a nice place, but if you can't do a fully loaded large burrito right, you gotta fix that, as that is a "go to" first order, when trying out a new Mexican restaurant, IMO ! Guess I should have ordered the mixed fajitas, as that looked VERY GOOD! The chips and salsa were VERY GOOD! Would love to go back and try the fajitas ! Was told that the Birria tacos...

This is actually a restaurant consisting of three rooms undergoing renovations but open for business. I had a late lunch on Sunday of grilled Hondumex vegetables and chicken strips with seasoned rice. I am used to eating Mexican from either Texas or New Mexico and Honduran from DC suburbs so I have very high standards for this type of food. I have so frequently been disappointed in Mississippi Mexican restaurants that others have praised that I was truly surprised by the quality here. The grilled vegetables definitely deserved an A plus. I say that because I don't believe it is possible they could have tasted better. The grilled chicken was good and the rice better than average. Only $8.99 for a large plate w salsa and chips and totrillas included. Came w a delicious sour cream based sauce for dipping. If you want both tasty and healthy it would be harder to find a better choice. No greasy junk, just pure grilled flavor. Definitely worth a visit. Very large number of menu choices so you can almost certainly find something you will like. Laid back atmosphere w...

While here for the NAYO tourney we stopped here for our Mexican food fix lol. Definitely recommend. The chips were fresh, crispy and there is some seasoning on the table to sprinkle if you wish (try it) and the salsa was great & addicting. Wife had the pineapple fajitas which she enjoyed. I had the combo pick 3 and for $9.99 you can’t beat that. Ground beef in the enchiladas and tacos was very flavorful, really enjoyed the red/brown sauce on the enchilada, rice was tender refried beans was good wish they had whole beans. Definitely recommend this place but please be patient when busy as there is...
