El Rincon de Honduras — Restaurant in Tulsa

“If it looks good eat it!” (Andrew Zimmern) I don’t speak or listen in Spanish, but I have never gone hungry in a restaurant that has the menu printed only in Spanish. If it has pictures, I can point…. Catrachitas came to the table first. Okay let’s stop right there. This is where the you request the salsa. I asked the waitress for salsa picante. She went back to the kitchen and after a few minutes brought out a small bowl of spicy deliciousness. It went perfectly with everything we ordered. The catrichitas were small fried corn tortillas, with a thin layer of beans and the grated Mexican cheese on top [cotija]. Very good. My wife chose the Pinchos de Camaron. Shrimp skewered with peppers and onions then grilled, beans, salad, thin sliced plantains and a dipping sauce. She raved about the textures, how the flavors complemented each other and freshness. The salsa worked well too! I had seen a picture of the Tacos Hondureños and could not get past it. Three corn tortillas, filled with shredded chicken, sliced green pepper and onion then deep fried, fresh cabbage on top, dressing and pickled onions. Add the magic salsa and it was perfect. Last comment about the food….the plantains were cooked just the way I like them , thin and crispy! A small, modest, little obscure restaurant. They do now accept credit cards! The current menu is posted with this review...

My first AND only experience here is absolutely abhorrent, I go to the counter to order, ( I still hadn't made my mind up on dine in, or carry out. ), and decided sit down is the way to go, ordered, and did. Shortly afterwards the owner comes out, accuses me of trying to sleep the table, kicks me out, while outside I started looking for somewhere else to get a bite to eat, he comes out pushes me while my backs to him, and threatens me with a gun. It was on a Sunday, so the place I wanted to go to was closed, ( Red Tacos, awesome, highly recommend!). Just memory...

Spanish speaking only!! Definitely make sure you can read and speak Spanish, or have a translate app/ google menu items like I did haha.

Food, amazing! Service was crazy good despite the language barrier. Atmosphere was cute and Honduras inspired. Gave little hometown cafe...
