There's a little taste of Honduras waiting on Broadway in Chelsea Square, and its name is Catrachos Restaurant.

Known as La Casa de la Baleada, or "The House of the Baleada," Catrachos specializes in traditional Honduran dishes, including one of the country's most beloved foods.

A baleada starts with a soft flour tortilla filled with refried beans, cheese, and crema. At Catrachos, customers can choose additional fillings, including eggs, meat, chorizo, and avocado.

Another favorite is pollo con tajadas, fried chicken served with crispy slices of green banana and a tangy cabbage slaw.

But there's more to Catrachos than its menu.

According to Discover Chelsea's business profile, the restaurant opened in 2019 through the efforts of four siblings: Claudia, Jose, Rene, and Johanna Mateo.

Longtime Chelsea residents with Honduran roots, the siblings brought their family's food traditions to the community. Their story reflects how local businesses help preserve cultural heritage while introducing neighbors to new experiences.

The menu also includes Honduran breakfast dishes, grilled meats, fried fish, and other traditional favorites.
