La Reyna

The tacos were stuffed full of delicious beef. The corn tortillas were soft and yummy. So I can reccommend them. The lunch portions are generous. The rice and refried beans were ok, but nothing special.
I’ve had better papusa’s. Theirs is bland. I would come back to try other items and perhaps bump the rating up. Sometimes you gotta try several items to find the gems.
I noticed several people enjoying bowls of something too. The place had steady business with a mix of Latin and non Latin customers.
One of the kids had a plate of french fries, but I left before their food came out, so not sure how kid friendly the menu.

Live within walking distance and will be back! Service could have been better. My water was served with little to no ice and it was never refilled. Cup was 32oz, so one was enough.

Great food. You have to try the beef soup, so good. You need to try the rice drink called orchata, so good:)…

Excellent food everything its made fresh, I had horchata water its sooo good! Pupusas for appetizer and adobo so yummy I highly recommend it

Exactly what we expected when we stopped in to try them for a late Sunday lunch.
Home style Honduran fare that sticks to your ribs and is plentiful.
Pupusa, Shrimp Picante, enchiladas which are more like a tostada but very flavorful.
Jarritos and Topo Chica out of the drink cooler.
All had a home dining appeal and we took home some of the enchilada as well for layer.
Will return and will also call in for to go from them as well.
Well done La Reyna.

There is no fussy service. They cater to a spanish-​Latin community and they deliver great Honduran food. I had the pollo con papas, a great chicken stew. A quarter of a chicken, rice, potatoes, and corn tortillas for $ 10 (lunch menu). I was full!

Not very impressed. I had to try it since everyone said it was good but it was just ok and I thought it was pretty pricey. I’ve had better Honduran food than this. I ordered the Baleadas which would’ve been ok but the steak was way too salty and so was the sour cream but the price on those were ok because they were big. It was $ 7.99 for two of them. On the other hand, my boyfriends plate had 3 tacos, rice and beans for $ 9.99 and a Melon juice for $ 4.25. I tasted the tacos and personally the tacos on the corner of Coursey/​Cedarcrest are 10 times better and are only $ 2 a piece. The steak was way too salty, the curtido wasn’t good, the rice was nothing special and neither were the beans. The plate he got should’ve cost $ 7.99 max. Lets talk about the Melon drink. It was good but it was about ¹⁄₃ water, ¹⁄₃ ice and ¹⁄₃ Melon juice. $ 4.25 is the price of a smoothie, there should have been a lot more Melon and a lot less water and ice in that drink for that price.(Come to find out later, they overcharged us.) I was also very disappointed with the pupusas. I didn’t even try them because they only make one kind: pork & cheese. Most places make bean & cheese, bean, pork & cheese or just cheese or bean. I’m not sure if these are pre-​made or what but regardless they didn’t have bean & cheese so I didn’t even try the pupusas. I won’t be coming back. I think I’ll stick with the Taco Truck on Coursey/​Cedarcrest they have really good Honduran food at a decent price and the owners are nicer.

We had pupusas and the Honduran tacos. Both dishes were delightful. The Honduran tacos came in a giant serving of 3 and we’re loaded with cabbage, cheese, veggies, and sauce. The chicken inside was super delicious. Great pickled veggies alongside the pupusas as well.

I was excited to try this place because I love all Latin food. I found the food was lacking in flavor. It was pretty bland. I ordered the enchiladas (which are deep fried and flat) and I probably should have gone for the mole. For a mom & pop shop the service was good.

As a Dominican, I really appreciate La Reyna exists. Most of the latin restaurants in BR are pretty tragic. The ones that are authentic are typically Mexican eateries. Nice to have an authentic Honduran restaurant to change things up a bit. This place is the real deal!

I can’t believe the reviews on this place! My boyfriend and I visited and the food was terrible! We LOVE Central American cuisine but this was below par! Did not taste fresh nor good. We only enjoyed the Latin soda that came in a bottle. Save your money and time and go elsewhere.

I’ve been to this place several times because they keep popping up on Groupon. The prices are very reasonable and the food is delicious. It looks like the restaurant is run by one family because there are always kids running around.
The food is unique in Baton Rouge and I only give it four stars because the service can be slow. (Probably because there is only one cook).

Amazing Honduran food. You need to try it whether you’re familiar with Honduran food or not. The owners are so friendly and all the staff provides excellent service. Most importantly, this food is so delicious!!! Ask about menu items you’re not sure about and you’ll definitely find something to love on the menu. Also the drinks are great here too. Definitely worth trying out if you’re in Baton Rouge.

My partner had to prove to me by looking up our Groupon history that we had actually eaten here so unmemorable was the experience. What little I do recall after having my memory jogged was the CHILDREN climbing on chairs and roaming the restaurant.
Now, I understand the family owned restaurant concept very well. My former partner was Vietnamese and grew up working from childhood in her parent’s restaurant. I also am pretty well versed in things Latino/​a and understand the concept of familia within a cultural context, HOWEVER this isn’t South America and the last thing I’m interested in during a meal out is the owner’s children roaming around unsupervised while I’m trying to have a nice meal.
I honestly don’t recall what I had to eat, but I DO recall my partner’s «Paella» distinctly. It is listed on the menu as «Traditional Spanish rice dish — an assortment of beef, chicken, shrimp and vegetables with fried plantains and a side salad.»
That’s what it’s describe as… in my partner’s words, this is what it is…
«A bland rice dish surrounded by a circle of fried plantains… with virtually no meat and mixed vegetable. Carrots, peas, perhaps corn and green beans… but MOSTLY plantains. How many bananas can you eat!»
«The food was so poor. I was so disappointed. Too many tables in too small a room. Wouldn’t ever go back»

I loved the Pupusa appetizer. My husband had the Honduran enchiladas and didn’t really like them because they were so over fried they were almost burnt. I had the stewed chicken (can’t remember the name of dish) but I liked it. It wasn’t amazing tho. I really think the Honduran enchiladas would have been good if they weren’t cooked as long. Maybe it was an «off» night?

Yum to the max. We had papusas, enchiladas, paella, and tostones with mango con aqua. So much food for $ 40. Amazing amounts of flavor from a little hol in the wall. If I lived here, this would be my jam.

I had a Groupon to try La Reyna and went on a quiet weekday for a late lunch. I ordered tostones for an appetizer and the beleadas with cream cheese, beans, and eggs for my meal. The tostones were delicious, as was the sauce they came with. The beleadas were extremely bland and not very appetizing. I drowned them in hot sauce and it didn’t help much. I am not at all experienced in Honduran food so I don’t know if this is typical, but I couldn’t imagine this dish appealing to many people. I was also disappointed that there was not a bit of fresh produce (a few lettuce shreds or tomato slices) included– what I would expect with a dish as a garnish at this type of restaurant. I feel it would have brightened up the dish a bit!
I’m not sure I’d go back unless I was craving some tostones!

First time trying Honduran food, and must say that it is awesome. It was difficult to decide what to get so we used some of the Unilocal reviews to help us :-)
First thing — ANYTHING WITH BEEF WILL BE AMAZING! We had the Honduran tacos and they were amazing. We also ordered Pallea that was great as well, but I would probably only order it with a beef side.
We had the pupusa and that was worth the drive alone! We will return for that if for nothing else. The Tostones were not so great, but they were out of the crema. I think if I had crema it would have been much better.
Adding this to my fav list!

Given that we’re talking about a tiny mom-​and-​pop restaurant like La Reyna – a type I generally love to patronize – I hate to be a dissenter from all the gracious goodwill expressed here.
Mind you, I didn’t think La Reyna was bad. But all the five-​star reviews may have unreasonably bolstered my expectations.
The main problem was the entrée I ordered, the pan-​fried whole tilapia. Not only was it the driest dish I’ve had in some time – this dish came only with rather over-​fried plaintains and red cabbage, and it was just crying for some kind of salsa, or other moisture – but the fish didn’t have much seasoning to speak of. And it might have been a notch overcooked, too. It just wasn’t very good.
Everything else was solid. A Honduran-​style pupusa, which was stuffed with ground pork cracklings and served with pickled red cabbage, onion, and pepper, was terrific. My brother ordered the adobo (stewed beef), which he really liked. La Reyna serves tropical fruit drinks – mine was mango – that taste totally natural and are very refreshing.
No alcohol, though. That’s kind of a bummer.
Also a slight bummer was the fact that the prices on the actual menu are actually a buck or two higher than those reflected on the current website’s menu.
The little dining area – this place probably seats about 25 or 30 when full – is cozy and colorful. Service was pleasant.
3.5 stars, rounded up.

I’ve been to La Reyna for dinner twice now and have been more than satisfied with both the service and food both times.
It’s an authentic, locally owned Honduran restaurant. It’s very hole-​in-​the wall but don’t let that fool you– the food is amazing. It’s a cozy atmosphere– with only about 12 tables but the staff is very friendly and eager to please. Entrée’s range in price from $ 10-​$ 15.
