On 1/16/2026 Koko had this to say:
The Sopa de res is very fresh and delicious. 100% recommended for authentic Honduran food

On 1/14/2026 Alicia had this to say:
Went on a Wednesday at about 4:00pm and it was empty bedsides me and one other table. It was cute inside with appropriate decor for a Hondoran restaurant and there was great music, too (though the music was a little too loud). My server was a young lady who was quick to get to my table with the menu. I ordered horchata but they were out, so I got a Tamarindo instead. It was delicious and a huge amount! I ended up getting two pork pupusas and they were delish! Also came with a good amount of curtido. I'll definitely be back to try the rest of the menu!

I recently discovered La Cocina de las Catrachitas completely by accident and they have HEAT. The pupusas are incredible! Delicias has some competition I've never had traditional Honduran but if you're generally familiar with Latin American cuisine you'll find something to try.

On 11/29/2025 Sweet Home Virginia had this to say:
This is a family-friendly restaurant with authentic and delicious Honduran food. My family and I go at least once a week. Seriously, it is that good!! We don't speak Spanish, but Merlin and his family speak great English and make us feel welcome. I love the baleadas especial with beef, and it is fantastic to hear the traditional hand-working of the dough as Merlin's wife makes each baleada order. The soups are delicious and everything I have tried has been fabulous!!! Dine-in is relaxing and take-out is fast and easy. So glad to have La Cocina De Las Catrachitas in Lynchburg!
