Honduras, Power Chicken lunch in San Pedro Sula-Part 11
Honduras-Part 11-lunch at Power Chicken in San Pedro Sula
When I travel I am always interested in what the local people like to eat. At the Hilton Princess hotel, they told me THE place to be seen in San Pedro Sula was right down the street at Power Chicken. So, it was off to Power Chicken for lunch. PChick. is Honduras’ answer to McDonalds.

The place was packed!! It was assembly line cooking and service at its finest. Very efficient. I ordered chicken fingers, fried yucca (yum), white rice and a Diet Pepsi for $6. I thought the price was a little high, but they gave me a lot of food.

Needless to say, I was the only gringo in the restauarnt. It is always fun to go into the local places. Reminded me a little bit of Pollo Campero in Guatemala.
After lunch I had to hoof it back to the hotel to get ready to leave San Pedro Sula by bus.

yes, you are right about PC. I also like it better than McD’s. When I compared it, it was only for the popularity index in Honduras. It was probably more crowded than McD’s usually are. Next time I go back to Honduras, PChick is certainly on my “to-do” list again. Thanks for your comment.

Power Chicken is the BEST. I have eaten there at least 20 times over the past five years and there has never been one time the place was not packed and the food absolutely fantastic. This place would kick ass in the US.

I think you are right. The set a great standard for quick, efficient service. Another chicken place I like that originated in Guatemala is Pollo Campero. They have them in the U.S. now. Thanks for confirming the “power” of Power Chicken in Honduras

Thanks for the confirmation of Power Chicken, San Pedro Sula. I plan to eat there every chance I get. If you want a really good steak, you might want to also check out NiFu NiFa restaurant in San Pedro Sula, another one of my faves. Thanks for your comment

I ate there in my last trip to Honduras…I had the grilled shrimp, chicken and vegetables and salad…it was so fresh and tasty and the vegetables were out of this world…I really wish they had one of those in Miami…it would be an instantaneous hit…!!!! Can’t wait to go back and try something else from the menu…:)

Thanks for another positive comment on Power Chicken in San Pedro Sula, Honduras. Amazing how many people I have heard from that love Power Chicken. Every time I get a positive comment, it makes me want to jump on the next flight to San Pedro Sula and grab a Power Chicken lunch and have the plate loaded up from fried yucca. Yum!!
Next time you go to San Pedro Sula, you should also try Ni Fu Ni Fa restaurant in San Pedro Sula. I have a post about it here in the Honduras thread. I have thought about their steaks ever since eating in their restaurant.
Power Chicken for lunch and Ni Fu Ni Fa for dinner. What a combo!!
Oh, Power Chicken was the BEST! We went with a very large group (there were at least 25 of us) and did the family style platters. The carne asada was the best I had ever eaten, and the sweet plantains were SO good. The chicken and the pork were also very good. I wish a place like Power Chicken was in the US, it would be awesome!
Thanks for your comments Christie. Yes, Power Chicken in Honduras is a really fun place to eat. The energy in the restaurant is fantastic. The think I especially liked about it is the efficiency at which everyone was working. Plus, you can tell that all the diners really enjoy the experience. Can’t wait to go back myself!!

I recently traveled from southern Oklahoma to Honduras with a group doing medical missions and we ate at Power Chicken about every other night. I have to say comparing it to McDonalds does not do it justice. The Power Chicken menu items we had were outstanding. They brought out large platters of fried rice, sweet fried plantains, beef steak and a type of jerk spiced chicken and ribs. YUMMM. We became big fans of Power Chicken
. Can’t wait till next year.
