Baleada Express
Mexico has tacos, El Salvador pupusas (cornmeal mass stuffed with cheese and/or refried beans), and Honduras baleadas : a stuffed flour tortilla that's folded in half. The sencilla (simple) has just beans and melted butter, but the huge array of options here, including plenty for vegetarians, lets you get creative with the national munchie.

Café Skandia
In Gran Hotel Sula, Skandia is surprisingly pleasant for a hotel restaurant; you can sit in the air-conditioned dining area or at shaded tables by the pool. The menu includes Honduran standbys - eggs, fried fish, roast chicken - plus a bunch of items you rarely see, like waffles, onion rings, apple pie and milkshakes. No wonder it's popular with the business and diplomatic set.
-
Cafetería Pamplona
A good honest restaurant serving good honest meals. There's nothing spectacular about the menu - club sandwiches, chicken and rice, garlic filet of fish, and a few daily specials - but the food is always good and service always friendly. Sometimes it's nice not to have to think too hard about where to eat. Don't be surprised if you come back more than once.
-
Crêpes
A great place to get - yes - crepes, but also traditional Colombian food, like soups and arepas (corn griddle cakes). Crepes are sweet or salty, ranging from Nutella to beef stroganoff and everything in between.
-
El Fogoncito
The best-known Mexican restaurant in town, this cantina-style place offers classic Mexican and Tex-Mex dishes - tacos al pastor (spicy pork tacos), fajitas - plus some less frequently prepared specialties like mole (spicy sauce made with chilies and usually chocolate and served with meat) and cochinita pibil (Yucatán-style roast pork). The food is good if not spectacular; at least there's a full bar and long hours so dinner can easily stretch into beers.
-
Fuente de Salud y Juventud
Mainly a natural goods store (vitamins, supplements etc), the 'Fount of Health & Youth' also prepares a modest vegetarian buffet. The food is pretty underwhelming, but for vegetarians surviving on rice, beans and licuados (smoothies), it's a welcome change. Dishes vary, but expect offerings like lentils, stewed eggplant, carrot tortas and carne de soya (soy meat).
-
Nelly's Pizza
A leafy courtyard with potted trees, gurgling fountain and the requisite red and white checkered tablecloths make this is a great place for a drink or early evening meal. As darkness falls, holiday lights blink on, adding to the ambiance. The food (so-so) and service (slow) don't quite live up to the setting, but if you stick with the pizza you should go home happy.
-
Pecos Bill
This is the place to come for meat and the game. First the meat: hefty portions of beef, chicken, chorizo or pork chops served with beans and fried bananas on platters for one to four people. And the game: important matches (NFL, NBA, World Cup, whatever) are shown not just on a big TV, but on a huge screen. If there's no game, a movie is shown instead - it's like a drive-in with table service.
-
Pizzería Italia
This place has great pizza and a funky hole-in-the-wall atmosphere.
-
Restaurante Boc-ga
This is a classy Korean restaurant whose name means 'house of blessing'. Go for Western tables with chairs and table legs, or normal ones, which in here means low to the floor with cushions to sit on. Either way, you've got a grill in the middle for do-it-yourself dishes like Boc-ga teriyaki or tukpegi bulgogi (spicy beef), a house favorite.

Restaurante Don Udo's
You don't have to be a bigwig to eat here, though plenty do. Don Udo's is one of San Pedro's top restaurants, with excellent food and service and a cool colonial elegance. It's hard to go wrong here - for dinner, the pâté appetizer and tenderloin steak, served with a glass of red wine, are terrific. For lunch, a focaccia sandwich and a beer go down nicely. Live music and a cozy outdoor patio add to the experience.
-
Restaurante Típico Chef Mariano
Ask around for a place to get Garífuna food and this is the restaurant most people will recommend. Warm coconut bread is served with excellent main dishes, most of which are seafood based and have intriguing names like lluvia de róbalo (bass). Service is top-notch.
-
Super Jugos
The motto here is 'the best licuados in Honduras' and who are we to disagree? Try a tall smoothie with any combination of fruit, plus granola or cereal.
-
Terraza Restaurant
Don't be put off by the location - inside a budget hotel of the same name, this restaurant is one of the best downtown. Honduran classics like coconut shrimp and chicken tacos are served alongside international faves like BLTs and veggie pasta. The plato del día (daily special), however, is hard to beat; typically, this is a meat dish with a couple of sides and a drink.
