This is a Honduran spot that'sin Mott Haven! Named after a municipality in the western part of Honduras that borders Guatemala, Ruinas de Copan is a Honduran delight that can be found in the Mott Haven neighborhood of the South Bronx. The menu at this homely restaurant is HUGE; I couldn't believe how large the selection of dishes was! Since we were on a food crawl, we just got one dish, so we shared the sopa de mondongo, or the mondongo soup, along with a freshly pureed passion fruit juice. Sopa de mondongo is a soup made from diced tripe that is super slow cooked for hours, along with various vegetables. Here, you can see we have some yucca, carrots, onions, and potato. The soup definitely tasted like it was simmered for hours on end, with a really deep, chickeny, porky flavor, and the pork was just fall off the bone. The tripe was also extremely tender, and it was clear that it was well cleaned and prepared. The passion fruit was also extremely refreshing and tart. We requested that they not add sugar to it, so if you don't want sugar, make sure to tell them no sugar! Service was really fast and friendly, plus they have indoor as well as outdoor seating.

I honestly hate to do this, but I am just over this place and the way they deal with there customers. Food was cold, they over charged me from the price of the menu. They did my order wrong, and this isn't the first time no matter how much you tell them how you want your food. They still get wtong.After they over charged me. My bill was almost $100. I go to pay with my debit card, they don't advice me that I will be charged extra for using my card, because they are to cheap to pay the merchant fees. The owner,it's like it's enough that I just spent this money for cold food, and nothing came at once. She still is throwing down my throat, to buy chica from her.This place is ridiculous. It's unfortunate how they just lost another customer. I don't recommend it.

Pupusas were nasty. Had chunks of meat in them. They gave us some weird salad which was way too salty and no traditional red sauce. I ended up throwing the food away.

Top notch, real life Honduran food. My son had Mondongo. And I did not. But he loved it! I had a taco and beans and that was adventurous enough for me.

HONDURAS ????????
Eat the World NYC review:
Come on the right Saturday night to Ruinas de Copán and you might walk into a performance by famous Honduran Garifuna band Bodoma, playing into the wee hours of the morning. Come a little earlier on that Saturday, after the lunch rush, and you might see the woman running the dining room also catering to her children, feeding the baby and letting an older son hook up a video console to one of the flat screens.
From breakfast in the morning until the early morning of the next day, this Mott Haven restaurant goes through quite a bit of change and caters to the needs of just about everyone. Besides Hondurans and Garifuna people (groups that have a lot of overlap), the restaurant has the entire neighborhood in mind and does offer other meals, but the focal points of the menu have a distinctly Honduran feel to them. The two photos on each side of the name on the restaurant's awning might best describe what is inside, the flag of Honduras, and a bucket of beers.
I was here for the flag and in that respect, the food. The antojito most synonymous with Honduras is certainly the baleada ($3). Here the fluffy tortilla steals the show as it should, the savory beans, cheese, and cream inside play backup. These beauties have an eating culture very similar to what tacos have in México, find them sold by vendors on the street, out of front windows in restaurants, or sit down for them at lunch and dinner.
