Seriously LOVED this place. Music is loud is some placea but we were able to move to a more quiet table easily. Porzione sizes are huge and the food is beyond good. The pollo con tajadas is everything, get extra dressing because theres a TON of banana. Pastelitos were also really good. Margaritas are sized to be well worth the money, highly recommend the traditional or the passionfruit. We easily got street parking around the corner. Bathrooms were cleans and staff was friendly. Will definitely be back whenever i'm in STL.
Update April 2023 - Look out for sueño Latino’s second location “Sabor K-Tracho” in Maryland Heights. Same food, same exact quality , glad to see they are thriving Sueño is one of my favorite places in STL and they were PACKED last Sunday, which was reassuring given they opened during the first COVID wave and it’s great to see them thriving. Their parillada has been a go-to for us with dinner parties. The food is super flavorful, fresh, and high in quality. Everything is made to order, and many dishes are topped w/ the crispest tajadas imaginable. Honestly the quality is comparable to what you’ll find in places with much larger Central American populations like Nola, Miami etc. Ive noticed that portions have gotten a bit smaller with prices rising but I get it given the current economics. The quality of their meats, while not steak house quality, is nonetheless excellent for a hole in the wall . A valuable addition to stl’s food scene
Truly one of the best Latin meals I’ve enjoyed in years. Highly recommend!
Fantastic food and waitress was very kind, recommended their most popular dish which was fried chicken on top of a bed bananas chips with some Kind of sweet savory sauce. First time trying Honduran food and it was delectable!
Parking: street parking Handicapped parking and accessibility: no parking specifically for Handicapped, only street parking Place: ok decorated, spacious enough for someone in wheelchair, very festive ambiance, good music; loud enough to hear it and low enough to not have to yell your words to have a conversation. Service: very good from the moment you get there, a polite and friendly server will take care of you. Food: The food is delicious! If you are not familiar with Honduran food, try it here!! You will not be disappointed.
Very generous portions and top tier Honduran cuisine. Service is second to none I recommend to everyone who would like to try real authentic Central American food. Saint Louis is lucky to have this establishment in the heart of Cherokee street
I always order the pescado frito. Do not hesitate dine in or order to go. What I love about this place is that they always give you a good helping of food and the staff are very pleasant. Don’t judge me based on the poor photo I took was in a rush to eat.
