Restaurantji's Broussard recommendations for the finest Mexican cuisine.
“Surprisingly great food! I saw people mention this place and their birria tacos on FB so we decided to give it a try. Man I'm glad we did! My girlfriend and I both said these were some of the best birria tacos we had ever had. We also got my daughter some take out and for a simple rice/chicken/cheese dish it was very good. It's also very affordable with food for 4 coming in under $100 with tip. I would highly recommend La Fiesta to anyone looking for a birria fix.“
“There was one employee waiting on everyone including at the bar. She did a great job. I'm picky and my order was to the T! The only thing was that our beans didn't have any flavor. Food came out in a great amount of time and our drinks kept coming. Thanks to our waitress/only employee, besides for the kitchen staff and our lady that brought us chips, you were great!“
“La Hacienda is a “go-to” for us. Conveniently located, great food, good service..except for last night. Our waiter/server(who barely spoke English) got all of our orders correct for 10 people (four different tickets). IMPRESSIVE!When it came down to payment, each parties ticket was wrong, which isn’t unheard of when there are numerous parties; no one party was upset. We then took it upon ourselves to review the tickets and “fix” it for the staff when returning to them. A DIFFERENT STAFF MEMBER reviewed and redistributed tickets again incorrectly. One party tried helping the staff and she rudely stated “I don’t need your help, but tell me what you ordered!” Restated parties ordered and ONCE again, tickets were incorrectly given. Same staff member was very rude to each party and she almost had FOUR unpaid tickets. If she would have accepted help from the customer, it all would have been resolved efficiently.This issue will not keep us from returning to restaurant, but hopefully this makes it to the right person and staff is trained properly about issues.“
“This was probably the best experience I’ve haver had with any Taco Bell. In the drive thru it was quick to the point you didn’t have to wait a while just to get your order taken and when it came to the food it was freshly made. I ordered a steak quesadilla and right out the bag it was hot as could be. Nothing was lacking about the quality it was the best one I’ve ever received. The taco was freshly made and it wasn’t all soggy. The experience was nice“
“Been coming here since about 2010 and the food is always amazing. Living in Lake Charles I do not get to come as often but me and my husband took my grandma here tonight at the new location. Same great taste and excellent customer service. My husband said this is probably the best Mexican food around and that is high praise coming from a Texas boy. Will most definitely be back!The chunky guac is amazing. We had the spicy burrito, fajita burrito and taco salad. All was amazing!Also our server, Fernando, was great and my grandma really loved the way he joked around with her.“

“We drive from Lafayette to Breaux Bridge, because the food and service here are always top shelf!I had the Carnitas, and my wife had the Hacienda Potato, which has to be the largest baked potato that I have ever seen! It was full of grilled shrimp, chicken, Mexican sausage, and cheese. She said that it was To Die For! We also had the guacamole, salsa, and chips. We can't get enough of Hacienda Real Mexican Restaurant!“
“This place has a huge menu with excellent food. Everything is fresh and well prepared and they have very generous portions. The staff is friendly and service is great. 2 for 1 margaritas and they don't water them down to make up the cost.“
“We saw the Berea pizza on Facebook and had to try it. It was great lots of meat and chezze goodness with a side of elote we ate well. Everything is homemade, fresh and delicious. I would recommend this hidden gem over some of the larger places in town.“
“My first time eating at a TexMex restaurant. It was quite amazing considering it wasn't Mexican food. The food had its own twist to it. My waitress Hailey G. was so pleasant & very helpful in helping me order. She also made a suggestion which turned out perfect, having a choice of which sauce I preferred, had it on the side instead of over my food. Wise advice for my taste! I plan on going back, the food was great!! I also will suggest having Hailey as my waitress because of her professionalism..“
“Such a great find while traveling through! I'd come back here 10/10 so good, authentic, and great portions/value.Got the vegetarian quesadilla- amazing! Guac and rice with it. The steak burrito, and birria tacos with consume ?? f taco bellzsht ?“
“Our favorite Mexican restaurant in the area! The food never disappoints! They have the best chips and salsa, and the chori-queso is sooooo good. We always get the pollo loco and fajita chicken quesadilla as our meals. Definitely try this place out!“
“When I drive by this place it doesn’t seem like an “authentic” spot for Mexican food. Luckily I was wrong and finally gave it a try. Ordered a torta which came on a light and fluffy bolillo with lots of flavorful ingredients. Also had a Gordita which had a nice crisp texture. The salsa that came with the chips was not spicy, unfortunately but did have a good flavor. The taco salsas have the spice. Service was friendly, just a little slow. Will definitely keep this one in the rotation.“
“It is a very familiar and welcoming atmosphere, the customer service was fine, average, nothing surprisingly good. The food was delicious and it didn't take that long to wait, and the portions were quite adequate and large. Good experience.“
“The best restaurant i tried in Lafayette so far,The atmosphere the staff the server was very friendly and helpful … the foood was amazingThe manager himself came to check on us and the food which was a very nice touch from him am not sure if he was the manager or the owner but it was a nice gesture.. if there was more than 5 star i would give it ❤️❤️❤️“
“My favorite food truck in Lafayette. The #9 Tacos (with al pastor) for $8 is my go-to item. The pickled carrots on the side are great. Used to split the meat choice with 2 al pastor and 2 lengue tacos, until the server occasionally wanted to add an additional charge of $3+ for the beef tongue. A bottle of Jarritos Mandarin is $3.“
“This truck has the best authentic barbacoa I've found in Lafayette! I usually get the 3 taco plato with 2 barbacoa and 1 pastor. The refried beans are sometimes a little soupy, but the mexican rice and awesome tacos make up for it. $10 thats it!!“

“Have tried a ton of restaurants since moving to Lafayette about four months ago and this was one of the best experiences yet. We sat at the bar and received the best service. I cannot remember the bar tenders name since this was a couple of weeks ago but she was a step ahead of our every request ensuring we had the best experience. This will definitely be a regular stop for us.“

“Don't let the fact that this is inside a convenience store stop you from trying some of the best Honduran food in South Louisiana. They don't pre-cook anything, so plan on 30 minutes for your order to be made ready. Call in before.“
“To me El Pollo is like the everyday man's Chipotle. Great menu, service and ambience. Their skills with such a simple thing as chicken is fantastic, it's consistently well seasoned, always moist, delicious and reasonably priced. Love the toppings bar, the pico de gallo is good and fresh. Great staff and good in and out dinning.“
“The best Mexican food I've ever eaten and for a really good price and if you haven't eaten here yet you messing up your LIFE and really need to examine how you really been to yourself...Parking: Too many parking options for realKid-friendliness: Nothing drastic happening and low key“
“This place is amazing!!! The staff is very nice and professional, they are a VERY clean establishment with incredible food! I've tried almost everything from this place and never been disappointed! Every time I come into town this will forever be my go to spot“

“Small restaurant but a nice atmosphere. I only ordered an a la carte cheese enchillada and chile relleno. The relleno was very good. The enchilada was ok. My friend enjoyed the fajitas. Our server was very friendly and nice. Will return to try other dishes. A little pricier than some restaurants but enjoyable. I visited a second time and we enjoyed again.“
“Although the Breaux Bridge area did not need another restaurant that offers Mexican fare, I am delighted that the owners decided to open one anyway! If I had to use just a few words to describe this place, those words would be flavorful, friendly, HOT, and fresh. I have patronized this establishment 3 times within the past 2 months and I will say that whether you phone in and pick up or dine in, the staff is upbeat, helpful, and very friendly. On my most recent trip, I was craving salad so I settled on the Fajita salad with shrimp, steak, and chicken. Everything was fresh, very well seasoned, and sitting in a crispy bowl. The waitress made sure to pack my bag with a huge serving of freshly fried chips and a nice helping of their house made salsa (something they always do). Mixing a bit of the salsa with the ranch dressing made for a ridiculously delicious addition to the salad. Definitely check this place out and make sure to order a tamale. Although I have disliked tamales my entire life, this place has totally changed my mind and turned me into a tamale lover!“
“My recent visit to Agave Mexican Grill & Cantina was capped off with a delightful dessert: crab cake. It was a savory and satisfying treat that provided a unique twist to my meal. The restaurant's lively ambiance and friendly service enhanced the overall dining experience. If you're looking for inventive desserts and Mexican cuisine, Agave Mexican Grill & Cantina is definitely worth a visit.“
“This place is a little hidden gem. They make Pupusas and baleadass. The first is similar to an arepa just different style dough, and the later like a burrito. The menu has many choices of meals as well. The food is made fresh, and has always been delish. Prices are great as well. Many people haven't eaten Honduran food, but it's a hand ups food joint. They have some prepared drinks like at Mexican restaurants, horchata and other flavors. Many choices of soda like Mexican Cokes, and lots of flavored sodas including Jarritos. Great experience every time I pick up food. Usually Futbol on the tv. They also sell music cds of vallenatos, and other styles.“

“If you guys aren't eating here you're missing out. This is a restaurant that needs you in it. The food is wonderful and the guacamole is the best. They say that you can always tell when the food is good when English is not the spoken language in the door. These guys are for real deal, they were a great truck and now an even better brick and mortar.if Mexican food is your craving go baby go.“
“TBH I had 2 unsatisfying visits and almost stopped going but realized that there was a particular waitress in common. Decided I'll try 1 more time but ask for a different waitress. Luckily I didn't have to, she wasn't there. Never had an issue before or since. I've gone at least 8 to 10 times in the last 5 months (I live close by don't judge me lol). It's really my favorite place to dine. I highly recommend.Kid-friendliness: Just a nice place I wouldn't hesitate to bring children to though probably more for lunch than dinner.“
“Friendly service and awesome food! Tacos were great! I really like their homemade hot sauce too! The sauce is pretty thick, so you know they blend them by hand, but its sooo good! Must check out this awesome taco spot, its hidden, so be on the lookout for it!Check @eatinglafayette on Instagram and Facebook for more Lafayette food things!“
“I was a little skeptical about it at first cuz we arrived and was empty, but the Fanny greeted us very friendly and professional sowe star Making questions about the food and she told me about the quesiabirrias and a was no very convinced about it so I ask about the seafood and I end up getting ostiers but them my friend order the quesiabirria and MAn they are delicious so definitely I will be back TJX Fanny u deserve a big raise and I also about the buy 2 margaritas and pay only 1 especial“
“I was in search for an authentic taqueria to cater my sister's birthday party. Ulises took care of my communications and order and did an amazing job. Placing the order was painless and he even delivered it! He arrived on time for the party and everything was set up nicely in trays. He does offer the capability to bring the trailer to you for fresh food which is what I may do for next time. We will be a repeat customer for sure.“
