EL KATRACHO On of the few Honduras Restaurants in the valley. It's has an overall "Family Restaurant " Environment , Classic Traditional Plates & Great Home cooking feel. In the previous years they had a stage where Music Dj s and bands would perform or they would host Karaoke Nights. The food flavors are definitely Authentic , they serve various Items that are original and exclusively from Honduras. TROPICAL - BANANA SODA HONDURAS Popular BEERS - PORT ROYAL & SALVA VIDAS. I took my GF to experience the Katracho Foodie scene. She already loves my home cooking but this restaurant serves what I like to call "UNIFORM" plates and servings. Allways dependable & just as expected ! Delicious & Freshly made. We ordered A traditional breakfast plate for her Desayuno con Carne (Steak Breakfast) Traditional Breakfast - Over medium Eggs , Blended refried beans , fried plantains , sour cream, avocado queso fresco (fresh cheese). And for myself I ordered A pollo con papas plate. (Fried chicken Breast ) with fried plantains topped with a unique delicious chicken dressing, served with a side of coleslaw with its own dressing. We shared a Classic Tradional Baleada. Baleada - Handmade Flour Tortilla covered with Blended beans , scrambled eggs and Avocado. Topped with sour cream and Cotija cheese . Can't ever go wrong with a BALEADA FOR BREAKFAST LUNCH OR DINNER. 2 beers (Port Royal /SalvaVidas) & a tropical banana soda to go. As far as service goes , everything did delay more than usual . We went during the weekend and it was pretty bussy with bigger parties.Hosting bigger family groups. Maybe more servers would help orders get pushed out faster. But over all the food was freshly made and worth the wait.

We just moved to the neighborhood and we noticed they play soccer games on the TVs so my husband and I decided to go check out the US game and have some baleadas. The tortillas were sooooo soft and delicious, I only wish I had more space in my stomach to eat another. The service was great but you have to remember they make the dishes fresh for us and that takes time, we also went in during a busy time and there was only one server so you just have to be patient but while we waited we snacked on some yummy chips with frijoles sauce, so simple yet so good!!! Love you, Katracho!

I was very pleased to try traditional Honduran food for the first time! It was so hard to pick a meal from the menu since they offer such a wide variety. I decided to order the El Katracho which comes with a little bit of everything. It was absolutely delicious! Although, this place is open until midnight, dining hours vary, which I was not aware of. I recommend calling ahead of time to ask what their dining hours are. While we waited for our food, I noticed that the restaurant is clean, lively, and family friendly. I will definitely come back to dine in!

My in laws are Honduran and this was mine and my husband's first time at a Honduran restaurant. We'll be back soon! Food was delicious and filling. I'm glad the waitress told me to order 1 instead of 2+ baleadas. One was satisfying enough for me. Waitress was sweet enough to give me an English menu haha Once seated, we were served tortilla chips that had a really tasty sauce (sweet, tomato?) and some cheese (maybe cotija). I had to move the basket of chips away from me to make sure i was sharing. They were that good haha. I ordered the tamarind drink. I love tamarind but I'm used to eating the candies. To have it in drink form was pretty cool. They have a good variety of drinks to choose from. Setting was very homey. We went on a Friday night. There was music playing and I liked every song. Food made me happy dance to the great choice in music. I wanna go back to try their seafood soup. Thank you El Katracho! :)

The is the best Honduran restaurant! My family and I came here to celebrate my husband's birthday. The dishes are authentic and delicious. The back room is big, accommodating parties. They play the jams which sets the vibe and it's just a great time with good food. My favorite is the baleada with beans and cheese. I eat two and take two home. The tortilla is like no other, addictively good. Honduran enchiladas are what we typically think a tostada is. But either way it's delicious. I also really like chips and salas they serve when you sit down. If you're looking for authentic food or are curious about Honduran food, you must try this place.

El Katracho is a Honduran restaurant in Sherman Oaks. The baleadas seem to be a popular dish here. To be honest, I was rather ravenous, so I ordered the Sopa de Caracol. Sopa de Caracol: This is a rich golden yellow chowder of roots and tubers and conch. Conch is a mollusk, like a sea snail or abalone. It is firm like an abalone and subtle in flavor like a clam. The conch is cooked in conch broth and coconut milk for a sweet and tangy flavor. Strips of cassava lend a nice starchy and gummy texture. (I just learned that yuca and cassava are the same thing. It's what boba is made of.) Chunks of plantains provide sweetness to the savory soup, as do the carrots. Bits of cilantro add zest. There's no shortage of carbs in this dish. On the side you have rice and corn tortillas. They also serve tortilla chips before serving your meal.
