“I was meeting a friend for lunch and waiting outside of the restaurant. A couple came in that it was apparent that they had been out in the cold for awhile. The gentleman asked if I knew how much a cup of coffee would be? They shared some of their struggles and lack of funds. I wasn’t sure they served coffee. I entered Nom Noms and asked the waiter. He said they only have coffee on Sundays but they would make some. The couple asked if they had tea, they were given some iced tea. Nom Nom staff allowed the couple to sit down for a good hour, to warm up and enjoy not only one cup of coffee and tea, but refilled their cups a couple of times! Well done Nom Noms! Thank you for your hospitality to this couple!“

“Got chimichanga Al pastor but had to order guacamole on the side rather than receiving it with meal. I assume I was charged extra for it. The horchata tasted like literal vanilla pudding mix dumped over ice. Not the experience I had the first time I came. Also the the birria platter came with hardly any onion and other condiments. Is it that hard to keep the lights on?“

“Another hidden gem, this is really hidden inside of a grocery store lol. We were in the area and stopped by to pick up some ingredients for home and noticed they had a little restaurant inside. Definitely authentic Mexican food and affordable. Food looked so good we forgot to take picture and dove right in. $20 for 2 tortas, 3 tacos, and 2 drinks. (Alot cheaper than fast food and ALOT better taste). Definitely keeping this place in mind next time in the Lafayette area.“

“I stopped by quickly this evening, a few minutes before they were closing to just pick up queso as my birthday reward. Even though they were closing, they were very gracious and filled orders for a family that came in before me and a couple that came in after me, as well as mine. Even though I'm sure they were frustrated at so many people coming in minutes before closing, they were still polite and courteous. Note: they close at 8:00 pm, not 9:00 as Google currently says. Apparently that has messed them up some.“
