“ Wow, such a great place serving up traditional Honduran! Absolutely must get the empanadas and pupusas! Also worth a try is the enchiladas! ”
“ Absolutely amazing food!! Service was great, I took the food to go and it was ready on time and the woman working was very nice. The Pupusas were magnificent and the cheese pull on them was incredible. I also got the whole fried fish and it was cooked well, crispy on the outside but very tender and moist meat. Definitely will be back and will recommend to family and friends. ”
“ Big Baleada indeed! We recently stopped by for an early dinner and were rewarded with a delicious, affordable meal with large portions. We loved the pupusas, the very big and filling baleada con pollo, and the always comforting yuca con chicharron (the peppery encurtido helps cut the richness of the pork). ”

“ Food fresh Hot and Awesome.Service Friendly and my waitress was very attentive.Pollo con Tajadas were So Good.And Bean and cheese pupusas were HUGE and so delicious.You must try. ”
“ Since coming back from a trip to Roatan in April I've been craving baleadas so bad. I finally was in the Dayton area and stopped into Big Baleadas. Don't let the neighborhood and decor fool you: this food is LEGIT good. Honestly the best pupusas I've ever had and the baleadas are authentic too. Some reviews said the service took too long, but honestly it seemed on par with every other authentic Hispanic restaurant I've been to. Quality takes TIME but we were still in and out within an hour. My husband (Nicaraguan) said the enchiladas were just as good as his mother's and the curtido on the side really took it over the top. ”
“ I recently visited Big Baleada and was absolutely blown away! This hidden gem serves up the most delicious Honduran food I've ever had. The tacos fritos were so wiggle-in-your-seat good that I couldn't help but smile. The pupusas were soft and flavorful and the empanadas were hearty and delicious. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a unique and authentic culinary experience. Big Baleada is a must-try! Pictured is the tacos fritos. ”
“ Just happened to pass by Big Baleada and decided to stop by. So glad we did! Cute little place that offers Honduran food for dine in or take out. We had the Papusas and two of the breakfast platters (egg, avocado, beans, plantains, and carne). All so good! Oh the horchata was great as well! ”
