“This is such a great place to visit in Lafayette! The food is delicious. The owner is a wonderful person, mother, and part of the community. She's dedicated to giving back to the community. Go eat here as soon as you get a chance. I visited her booth at Festivals Acadiens in October, and some of my family went to visit the restaurant. It's DELICIOUS!“

“Best Mexican food I ever ate!!“

“The BEST Mexican food in town! restaurant was super clean too.“

“I've been following El Hidalguense Mexican Restaurant for a while now. And decided today I wasn't going to Lafayette again without trying it. I had the Enchilada Mixta con Cecina and my wife had the Birria Tacos. Amazing food! I have a hard time describing how delicious our meals were. But, we're definitely going back! The owner was so friendly, checking on us making sure we were enjoying our food. Our server was very helpful picking out our food since it was our first visit. This is definitely a hidden gem with authentic, fresh Mexican food.“

“Celebrated my birthday here! The staff was friendly and it was a great experience for myself. My birrias and my partner's pork rips were incredible! Some of my guests complained that their food was soggy or under seasoned, but I've heard the Cameron location is better in that regard. I'd definitely go here again!“

“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!“

“The service was great. The food came out fairly quick and was delicious. I had the papusas, one with pork and cheese and one with bean and cheese, comes with coleslaw and ranchero sauce, it was the best thing I've had at any mexican restaurant. I swear someone's Mexican grandma is back there cooking. Highly recommend.“

“Food was great and you truly felt like you were in Mexico! Mine was too big for 1 person so the rest came home as lunch the next day. The wait time on everything was so very short! Friendly staff and clean restaurant, we will be going back! ❤️“

“This place is amazing! Easily my favriote place that sells Mexican food. Steak quesadillas never go wrong here! The ONLY issue is that sometimes the sodas seem as if they've gone bad (little specks of something floating in them). However, employees are super nice about exchanging them! 10/10 Always try here again!“

“la comida deliciosa😋💯 recomendado“

“Every bite here is wonderful. The fresh flavors burst off of the authentic tacos. Burritos and quesadillas are great too. This is the best Mexican food in town, bar none.
I’ve lived in Texas for 30 years and worked in Mexico for long periods. When I am in Lafayette this is the one stop I must make. And the red sauce and green sauce… I can’t decide … because they are both the best sauces I’ve ever put on a taco.“

“The best customer service! We love it here!!“

“Nice little family-owned place. Great food and 2-for-1 margaritas!“

“I recently visited the Izzo’s Illegal Burrito on Johnson Street and was assisted by Kashawn, who delivered exceptional service. As a former manager at Izzo’s, I understand the importance of professionalism, portion control, and customer care—and Kashawn excelled in all areas. He was polite, professional, and efficient, demonstrating the kind of leadership potential any business would value.

Although there was about a five-minute wait to reach the counter, I know this is common in a fast-casual setting, and Kashawn made up for it with prompt service once I ordered. His attention to portion control was spot-on, and he handled everything with skill and confidence. Overall, I was very happy with my experience and impressed by his performance.“

“My first time trying this restaurant and it won’t be my last. Everything was delicious and our server was amazing. Very clean & all the staff was top notch.“

“I’m moving far away from this city and will probably never return, but yet I feel inclined to leave a review of this place because it’s THAT good. This will be the one place I will always miss, as it is the best food I had in Lafayette or anywhere else I ate at in my 2 years of living in LA (beats any Cajun, hamburgers Mexican, Italian, etc that I had here).

The quality is a 10/10, and their green sauce is AMAZING.“

“I highly recommend dining at Agave Mexican Grill. The service was quick and the food was delicious!“

“Great service, food was average, atmosphere was nice and clean. The room was very loud. If you're looking for a quiet place with good music I'd go elsewhere. If your looking for loud talking, loud music, energetic atmosphere this is it! There were 2 live NOT talented singers.“

“Went for the 2 for 1 margaritas, they were delicious, got the strawberry and mango.
We also got elotes which ive never had and they were very good.
Also got the el paso favorite platter with a little of everything and when I asked they gave me some birria consume on the side and it was fantastic.“

“Excelente food and nice environment 😋 servers were very amicable ☺️“

“Excellent Authentic Mexican food. Love the vibe/waiters/waitresses/. Bar is my favorite“

“My wife and I went during the week after the lunch rush, and it was fantastic! I have only ever gone during the busier dinner rushes, and they are absolute champions of service at those times, but it was so nice to enjoy during the quieter time as well (by no means was the place empty). It was an opportunity to see the artistry and architecture styles on the walls of a landmark restaurant that I've been to since a child( now 45). The service was quick and courteous. The food tastes like the best first date you have ever had.“

“Holly was a treasure, perfect amount of checking up on us/leaving us to do our thing. Margaritas were great, and everyone enjoyed their meal.

Dietary restrictions: Dairy allergy was easily accommodated with the taco salad by removing the cheese.

Kid-friendliness: Kids meal comes with a small dessert, perfect for our 6 year old.“

“I like how I can easily customize my order online to pick up through toast and earn points to save on future orders. I like 3 loaded brisket birria and ground beef tacos with guacamole, cilantro ranch, black olives, cilantro, pico de gallo, corn, extra cheese and queso. Taco Tuesday $6.50 special is a hot as well. I enjoy my izzo's fix once a week. ?“

“we came from Texas to visit my sister and we had chicken fajitas . They were the bomb.very very good and the strawberry lemonade was great 10 out of 10.“

“La mejor comida 😋😋😋 sin duda no tienes que esperar mucho tiempo!!“

“Una de las razones por las que no compro comida en restaurantes latinos o en especial Hondureños , es que la comida solo te enseñan lo que pediste . No digo que la comida sea mala , pero en especial las baleadas te dan una tortillota exagerada de grande y nada de lo que pides y eso que te cobran un ojo de la cara . Sean más honestos por favor, por lo menos un huevo a cada baleada y por lo menos sentir el sabor del queso y no digamos los frijoles . Es un asalto sin necesidad de pistola . AHORA ENTIENDO PORQUE NO TIENEN LA OPCIÓN DE PUBLICAR O SUBIR FOTOS A LOS COMENTARIOS.“

“Su atención y sencillez fue lo primero les invito a disfrutar ricos platos el menú exquisito 😘😘😘“

“Located next to a washateria and a sketchy gas station so you might come across some wild boys while ordering but this is my favorite taco truck in Lafayette. Never knew I needed tripe tacos in my life until I ate these. Amazing. Also, the birria tacos are incredible.“

“The food is phenomenal! I eat here multiple times and week. I would highly recommend any of the el dollar taco trucks.
BRING CASH! It's cash only. Don't worry it's worth the trip to the ATM.

It's a taco truck there is no seating“

“The food is good when you can sit and eat while it is hot'&you don't have to go back to fix your order'maybe if certain ones would not be as high as the menu above my head they can hear what you are asking for or read the order correctly'but at least that cranky lady was not there or don't work there anymore'bring that guy back to the front'at least he can can handle the customers ®ister no matter how buzz he is!“

“I have a very busy 4 year old adhd/autistic daughter And had been travelling for hours.
I was the only one in the restaurant and because my daughter is very busy doesn't communicate well. I don't bring her in a lot of places But because it was empty I thought It would be ok..
Everyone Was nice and I let the front desk Workers know that she doesn't sit still very much. And then I would put her in the corner where she wouldn't bother anyone...
Someone They're with the ability to Control the noise (radio) I can only assume had some kind of knowledge of children that are not "normal"..
Someone turned the radio down and My daughter seemed to settle a bit more..
To that person I say
Thank you for noticing!“
