Rositas Restaurante Hondureño

We were bored with all other restaurants in town and wanted to try something different. I am so glad we did!! The flavors were so enjoyable! It's a very clean restaurant! Keep in mind this is not Mexican food. It is Hondurian. Such a great change from typical Mexican. They serve the freshest chicken I've had in a long time. As noted in other reviews they do use their children to take your order, etc. But why would anyone ever say something negative about teaching kids a work ethic!?! This place is worth trying!!! We will definitely return.

👏👏 Horray for Honduran food in Hot Springs! This is definitely a new gem in town. The food was delicious, hot and fresh. The flavors all complemented each other and it was quite the umami experience with the Pollo con Tajadas (chicken with plantains) and honestly, I don’t like plantains!! But I decided to try this place and the dishes how they come bc tastes change and either mine have or they know how to cook delicious plantains. They reminded me of dehydrated banana chips, but soft and hot with perfect crispy bits. I will say the atmosphere isn’t the best but they just opened and that can change- it just has a cold vibe, but you can tell with the art on the wall they are trying. The server was awesome and printed a menu of the Honduran dishes in English, but he also explained the menu an

This is real Honduran food. Not Mexican or TexMex. Just putting that out there for people who don't understand there is a difference. We popped in for a quick lunch. We ended up splitting the Pastelitos de Pollo (empanadas). It came with cabbage, pickled beets and carrots (sauerkraut), Pico and cheese. So good. The dough had so much flavor. The chicken was finely shredded and not overseasoned. Also got a glass of Tamarindo juice. Fresh made! Finished off with a carlota de limón, a delightful lime custard and wafer dessert. Not too sweet, just right We can't wait to go back again. We peeped at the plates coming out of the kitchen and everything looked so good.

Food was good, not a lot of vegetables in the dishes, but they do have one plain vegetable dish. Service was friendly even if they took awhile and even forgot my plate. We were a big group, to be fair. Atmosphere was comfortable and simple, not a fancy place but clean

So glad to have a Honduran restaurant in Hot Springs. I ordered pollo con tajadas which was delicious and my husband ordered pupusas. We will definitely be back!
