In town for a concert and had a taste for Mexican cuisine. The reviews led us here and so glad we…read morestopped in. We were seated immediately for an early dinner without having a reservation. Our waitress took our drink orders and soon after our entrees. I went with the pollo loco and my compadre went with a chicken chimichanga a la carte. The entrees came out plated beautifully and just as ordered. After my first bite...WOW WOW WOW! The pollo was full of flavor and tendahhhhhh (tender). There was so much on my plate I barely ate half. I can't wait to return from the concert to finish it. Lol. The chicken chimichanga was also enjoyed and very flavorful. Whatever you decide to try I bet it will be just as good as our food was today. Enjoy!!!!

Our waiter was extremely attentive, refilling our chips and salsa before we were out, and remembering our specific drink orders for refills. Chips were served warm with three different salsas - a great variety of spices, and warm chips are just my favorite. I got the salmon plate with cilantro rice and lettuce/tomatoes/cheese on the side. The salmon was cooked perfectly and the rice was nice and fluffy. Great portion size as well!! The menu wasn't too big so it was much easier to narrow down on a decision on what to eat. Highly recommend as a quick spot to satisfy any Tex-Mex craving.

What a quite surprise. I wasn't expecting much when I walked in. No offense, Lake Chuck -- but…read moreyou're not exactly known for Mexican food. This place was solid for the location. Did it wow me? No. But it definitely got the job done. Maybe I was starving, but the burrito really hit the spot. The steak was cooked perfectly -- which is rare since it's usually dry and hiding under a blanket of cheese sauce. This one actually had great flavor. The crispy taco, on the other hand, was mid. See that, young kids? I got the lingo. Overall, I'd come back if I'm passing through. Service was great, the bartender was super friendly, and the place is very affordable. Bonus: if you need to charge your Tesla or other electric vehicle (no discrimination here), this is a convenient stop. Cheers, y'all.

I always go for street style tacos, which is corn tortillas with the meat and cilantro and onions. The el pastor was so flavorful and the barbacoa was juicy and perfectly seasoned. I also enjoyed their chicken tacos. My man got their queso dip and it wasn't watery and runny like most. Overall, definitely be back. Yall should go see

Overall not bad but nothing to be excited about either. There is a drive thru which is convenient…read more It is what used to be a gas station it looks like and the drive thru window (also where you order) is actually at the front of the building. Friendly service, wait time was a little long but ok. Paid $30 for 4 steak tacos, 1 steak quesadilla, 1 elote (corn) in a cup and a small Dr Pepper. I had 2 tacos and the corn and my son had the other tacos and quesadilla so it was enough for two people to eat so price is ok. The "elote" was good but had a lot of lime and I didn't taste butter at all, I watched them dump canned corn into a pan instead of it being cut off from an ear of corn. Steak tacos were not bad but lacked a little flavor and they had quite a few fatty pieces. Green salsa for the tacos was good. Overall not bad. I love authentic Mexican food and cook a lot of it at home. I've been to many places in Mexico so that's what I'm used to eating.

Okay, Los Ponchos is located at a casino. It's not a run-down spot with roaches running around…read more The TV was showing "Jeopardy" and not tuned to either Telemundo nor Univision. Southwest Louisiana is home of the Cajuns & Creoles, that food is authentic here; the area is not famous for its Mexican food. But the food is still muy bueno. Los Ponchos has a separate entrance, and it's easy to see the sign from Highway 397. It's within half a mile from I-10, so if you're speeding between Lafayette and Beaumont, it's not far out of your way. The menu is full of things to eat: enchiladas, tostadas, tacos, quesadillas, even steaks and burgers (huh?). Or you can build your own combo, which I did: three items for $14.99. * Beef enchilada - the best of the bunch. Strong beefy taste. * Chicken taco - I had the soft taco, and it was so full of chicken, tomatoes, and lettuce that it spilled out onto the plate. Nice taste, tender chicken. * Chicken quesadilla - one tortilla folded over, and the cheese was gooey inside to hold that tender chicken inside and give it a nice flavor. * Served with refried beans & rice. I found another place that puts cheese on its refried beans, giving it a much better taste. Chips come with black beans in addition to salsa, a nice touch. Meanwhile, it is a clean place, tiles painted to look like south of the border. Not exactly authentic, but it does the job The ranchero and cumbia music sets the mood. Service with a smile. I was a lifelong Californian, and that state has some of the best Mexican food in the country; Mexicans moved north of the border, brought their recipes with them, and opened a place to eat just like home. Los Ponchos' food is up at THAT level, it's that good. If you're picky about your Mexican food, then make it a point to visit here. The casinos don't need your money, they're making plenty from the suckers, so don't be a loser, Los Ponchos is a winner.

The Scene Laguna's has a pretty standard Mexican restaurant…read moresetup inside - casual, familiar, nothing over the top. The outdoor patio, though, is a nice touch and definitely the more inviting part of the space. If the weather is right, that's probably where I'd choose to sit next time. The Eats This visit was a bit of a miss for me. The chips were "off" - either too thick or not fried enough - but something about the texture just didn't hit right. I ordered the chimichanga, which is a flour tortilla filled with your choice of seasoned beef or chicken, deep fried and topped with ranchero sauce, served with sour cream. Unfortunately, it didn't land for me. I'm used to chimichangas being topped with a white cheese sauce, so the ranchero sauce was unexpected and not something I enjoyed. The overall dish just didn't come together, and I ended up not finishing it or taking it to go. I didn't try any drinks since I had a class afterward, but honestly, that's probably what I'd lean into if I returned. The Service Service was fine - no major issues. We were greeted, orders were taken, and everything came out in a reasonable amount of time. Nothing stood out either way, but it got the job done. Parting Thoughts Laguna's may be worth a visit for the patio or to try drinks, but the food didn't quite meet my expectations this time. I might give it another shot and order something different, but based on this visit, it wasn't a standout for me.
