This narrow, no-frills eatery looks as if it were transported from a street corner in Tegucigalpa, and the food is just as modestly priced and authentic. EH has a long counter for construction workers and others who flock to the restaurant at lunchtime, as well as lots of tables. It's spotlessly clean and boasts two TV sets, an oversized screen in the middle of the room and a small one overlooking the counter. Both are tuned to soccer matches, of course.

The menu is on a bulletin board and is limited to a few hearty dishes, such as beef fajitas, a churrasco and a fried fish of the day. The churrasco ($9.50) is juicy and delicious and the fish is a grouper, basted in cornmeal, and fried whole ($10). The fish is flaky and moist, and the sides are plentiful and good: tostones, salad and tortillas -- a choice of corn or flour. We prefer the flour tortillas and they are the best we've had outside New Mexico. They are so good we order a second batch ($1.60). EH has no Honduran beer so we settle for a Mexican: Corona at $2.50 a bottle. The tab on our meals for two comes to an incredibly low $21.10. For food this good, that's nearly un milagro, a miracle.
