LA MESA CATRACHA – Mexican
Four Honduran women - a mother and her three daughters from San Pedro Sula - run this small dining room on NE 123rd Street, and the menu reads like a family kitchen rather than a concept. Baleadas and pupusas de quesillo to start, then sopa de caracol, sopa de frijoles or mondongo, and mains that run from pollo guisado and costillas de cerdo fritas to lengua guisada, rabo encendido and pescado frito. Tres leches and flan close it. Every table gets an appetizer on the house, prices stay low, and the room feels like someone's home.
