I haven’t been but La Hacienda took over the old Cypress restaurant on transcontinental which was a pretty nice spot. I don’t know of any other places that are nicer than casual.

Not particularly upscale, but Alma is a good option

La Macarena near St. Charles and Carrolton

Mawi at Esplanade and Transcontinental in Metairie

Neither is really upscale but Mawi is really good. I'm not sure if you would call either Honduran or more Central American.

Baru specializes in Latin and Caribbean cuisine. Chef Edgar grew up near the Columbian coast and serves amazing seafood/fish dishes.

They're nowhere near upscale, but there are at least two Honduran places at the corner of Stumpf Blvd and Wright Ave in Terrytown on the Westbank. They're right near the shopping center where China Blossom and Cafe DiBlasi used to be (RIP to those two hidden gems).

If not now there will be one soon, considering the number of Hondurans crossing the border

The New Orleans area has the third largest concentrationn of Hondurans on the planet. This was way before the current border problems.

if New Orleans were 60% Hispanic instead of what we have now, it would be a much better place to be
