Great food! I highly recommend the cheese papusas, their menu doesn’t have the most appetizing pictures but the real food is so good, we ordered different dishes and they were all so good. Staff are very friendly

With a place called Five Star Honduran food, the food better really be 5 stars. And here, it actually was! I have never tried Honduran food, so it was my first experience, and it was amazing. I would love to go back. I tried the Nuegados De Yuca Con Miel (cassava with honey), plantain, a pupusa de queso (cheese flatbread), and an empanada.
The empanada was the only item that I thought was just okay. It was pretty average. A little too hard on the outside, and the moisture in the container led it to being soggy. The beef was pretty well seasoned but dry. It was also served with a tasty, fresh salad, which had some cheese on it as well. It was mostly lettuce, though.
Now, the pupusa was out of this world! It reminds me a bit of a cachapa if you've ever had those. Cheesy, soft on the inside, crunchy on the outside. Simple but very tasty. And, it's served with some tasty pickled vegetables that add a nice crunchiness. The sauce it's served with reminds me a bit of marinara as well, it's quite good. Definitely recommend, and I'm sure the bean stuffed one is even better.
The plantain was the best plantain I've ever had, and I am a big fan of sweet plantains. It was absolutely humongous and very sweet. A tad oily, but not especially so. Genuinely very good, and soft too. It was served with what I think is sour cream, and that complimented it really well. Almost tasted like plantain with ice cream.
Finally, the cassava with honey, that was an awesome dessert. I would say that it tastes like gulab jamun with a chewier texture. Soaked in tons of sweet syrup, touch of something like cinnamon, and overall, just very very good but also extremely sweet.
All in all, I loved essentially everything from this place. It’s an excellent introduction to Honduran food, with awesome prices and incredible flavors. I highly recommend this spot!

Five Stars is 5 star food and service!
Ordered beef empanadas with corn meal, which were amazing, and a favorite of the table.
Tried the pescato frita for something different. The fish separated easily from the bones and fried plantains were an excellent side.
Also ordered Honduran chicken tacos, which were filling and reasonably priced.

Pescado Frito Fried Fish
Our first time. We had soft drinks since they do not serve hard drinks. We started with a chicken tamale, one beef empanada with corn shell and one beef empanada with flour shell. The chicken tamale was tasty but new to me it contained chicken bones. Never had a tamale with bones. The masa was excellent but the rest could have been seasoned better. The empanadas were both good but also needed more spice. We then had the flat bread with cheese and the chicken taco. The flat bread was a little bland. The chicken taco was very good. Overall the meal was interesting, tasty, plenty and inexpensive. I would definitely go back and try the pork or steak offerings.

Corn Empanadas
First of the times on Google was wrong so had to get food to go. Tried fried fish and some steak, chicken and shrimp fajitas. Everything tasted fresh including the side of rice and salad. Portions and generous. I never had Honduras food before but it seemed a lot of other people were enjoying the food there.

Loved it! The empanadas were delicious. I liked the flour ones just a bit more, but both were great. I also had the shrimp with coconut milk, which was very good. The tamales were good too. The plantains were the best I've had anywhere else. We'll definitely be back again!

El Típico Carne Asada
Me and my husband (who is from Puerto Rico) are always searching for good Hispanic food,!which is hard to find. Five star opened by our house and we finally made our way down there and have been there two days in a row. The food is the freshest I have tasted in any restaurant! The flavor is perfection! On top of the food being delicious, the staff are some of the friendliest I have come across. Jessica and Evell (the owners son, I hope i got that right) we’re both so nice and welcoming! It’s called five star for a reason!!
