El Progreso

I came here last night as recommended by my best friend when I was in search of some «homemade» tasting soup. I ordered the beef soup and it was just okay. The broth was packed with flavor, but they just put two beef cubes inside and they were inedible. The soup itself was six dollars for a medium and was not worth it. While the flavors were there it didn’t taste fresh!
The horacha was your typical horacha drink you get anywhere nothing special or out of this world. The appetizer we ordered the beef empanada and it was just gross. The wrapping around the empanada was fresh but the ground beef inside looked like it came out of a can and I deemed it inedible. The white rice comes on the side of the soup and was very good. If i ever come back, which I don’t think I will be, I would simply get the white rice and beans. As this was my first experience with Honduran food I wasn’t impressed and will most likely stick with my family roots of Dominican food and sancocho.
I didn’t finish the soup nor the empanada. The service was really good and the waitress was very sweet and kind. The restaurant is fairly large but the ambiance is just not bright or welcoming. The place was completely empty and we were the only ones eating with the bill for two over 30 dollars the food did not deliver.
There are much better restaurants than El Progreso.

Two stars because the food is great but ‘0’ stars for the. We’ve been there multiple times and always the same issue SERVICE. The waitress is very rude and doesn’t understand the restaurant business. Last time, Sunday my family and I gave this restaurant another shot and we went there, we order two enchiladas as a appetizer and guess what? The waitress brought it out, put it at the table and she handled one only ONE SET of plastic silverware and she walked alway, we were 5 people and we and no plates to share, I even had to go to the counter to ask for more silverware. The place was completely empty when we got there and we had to wait 20 to get our drinks request. We have for lunch a SOPA DE CARACOL, A POLLO CON TAJASAS, a order of PUPUSAS AND CARNE ASADA, the food was delicious but again, the owner have to get rid of that waitress [the heavy one] and I believe we are not the only one who have experienced that bad service form that waitress. My family and I are Honduran as the restaurant and we always go there because it is the only Honduran restaurant near to us. We will never go back if that waitress still there. Owner please do something about it or your business will never go further that it is right now.

This was a decent/​below average restaurant. For pupusas, I prefer going to the people who invented them– salvadorans. But the pupusas here were okay for an Honduran restaurant. I do think they lacked some flavor. Thankfully, the tomato sauce made up for it. Other than that, I’m don’t think I’ll be returning here. The waitresses were dressed as if they had just returned from the gym (like really?), their customer service wasn’t the best, and I hate the fact that they used plastic silverware and plates to serve pupusas. Like, how tacky is that! 2.5 stars

Good food that’s all.

There was a bug in the food, we told the waitress and she was such so rude about it. When we finally left they all gave us dirty looks. So disappointed.

You like Latin American food (particularly Honduran)?? This is the place. Good prices. Great food. I had the tamales and papusas. the tamales were NacaTamales. perfecto! papusas were very good! at El Progreso, They even have Honduran beer! Not just any place has that. I recommend this place
