    ACAO Cafe in Mandeville, LA.
    Mike H.

    We lunched again at Acao Cafe and once again thoroughly enjoyed the experience. This little place never disappoints. The Honduran fried chicken with savory plantains and the empanadas are favorites, but lots of great stuff on the menu deserves to be tried. Tasty original takes on Honduran cuisine, great service, friendly folks, pleasant surroundings, it's all good. You really need to try Acao Cafe.

    Tiramisu served in the container where they bought it at the store. They should be embarrassed about this, and it actually tasted sour.

    I read the other reviews and they talked me into coming to this place for lunch from now on. I won't pay any attention to the other reviews because this place was mediocre at best.

    I passed by this place several times and finally decided to stop and check it out. l'm glad I did. I was pleasantly surprised to discover that this was a Honduran restaurant. One of the menu options was a Honduran tamale, which I've never had, so naturally I had to order one. It was $4 for one tamale, and two tamales probably would've filled me up. $8 for a satisfying, unusual meal - unusual in the sense that not many places around here offer it - from a local mom & pop restaurant? That's a great deal! I'll definitely be returning.

    Great latte - and personalized!

    Amazing food and nice people! When the old Abita BBQ clased I was so saddened, but now the location has a wonderful Honduran restaurant that is fabulous.

    La comida está riquísima, jamás había escuchado de este lugar. Pero estoy alegre que mi hermana lo encontró. El mejor desayuno que he comido en Mandeville. Me encantó todo.

    Coffee!

    Delish Delight! Tamales were so very good. Coffee wonderful. An unplanned quick stop at this cute little family cafe. Prompt, friendly, hospitable service. Honduran specialties. What a discovery! Yes...do go & enjoy. Very best wishes for continuing success.

    Tacos

    Stopped here in the way from Alabama to Baton Rouge and it did not disappoint. Absolutely amazing food and even better service!! 10/10 would recommend!!

    Honduran tamale, homemade, excellent and cheap.  Two tamales for a lunch less than $10

    Latin breakfast and brunch as well as a coffee and bakery spot. Home made Honduran tamales so big that 2 make a meal. Very clean and friendly service. It's nice to have a new business in this location.

    Huge Pork tamale

    Everything was very flavorful, fresh and delicious. Honduran tamales, tacos and fajitas. Service was great. Will definitely be back to try more!

    Fried chicken and plantains.

    So good! Heard about Acao cafe from a friend and I'm so glad my daughter and I tried it today. Everything was delicious and fresh! We'll be back soon!

    Baleada Supreme - Flour tortilla, with beans, eggs, cheese, cream, ground pork, and you can add jalapenos and pickled onions.

I certainly appreciate them making it work. Crazy Pig has an excellent menu for breakfast with lots of different options We went on a Sunday morning I got one of the omelettes I think mine was the lean omelette Everything comes with bread and or biscuit I can't eat bread or biscuit so our waiter offered me avocado and tomatoes, which were a perfect choice to go with my omelette Most restaurant places that I've been to usually just remove the item without offering a substitution I was so happy with the alternate options I spoke with the owner to let her know that I appreciate having the tomato and the avocado instead of the bread and the biscuit. Then she told me that they just had a class on food allergies This is really exceptional that a restaurant is taking up their own initiative to learn about food allergies so that they can service their customers with better care While the food is definitely excellent with the capacity to offer different options for the different dietary needs that people have and the staff is educated, I just wish that they had better coffee at the Mandeville location like a cappuccino or a café latte Still an excellent choice

    I originally wanted to rave about the burger here. It's DELICIOUS. Big, juicy, dressed how you like…read moreit, and served on a bun that still makes me smile a month later. They're $10 on Mondays - get in here and get you one as soon as you can...then get another. Now I can't wait until Monday. But, I was in there over the weekend, and tried a recommended dish - the Bayou Omelet. We split the dish, which we ordered with perfectly crisped hash browns (my description, not the menu), and a cathead biscuit. What's a cathead biscuit you may ask? So did we. It's a biscuit as a big as a cathead! And guess what, I hope I don't run into that cat, 'cause he's a big-un'. But back to this omelet. Dang, y'all, it was sooo good - the seafood was fresh and tasty, the eggs were cooked to perfection, and every bite screamed "we love you, thanks for stopping in!" Had some hot, black coffee with it - also pretty good...good enough for a second and third cup, for sure. Two visits in and still impressed - if you make it out, leave some time for a little stroll around the little town of Abita Springs...the Brew Pub is great for an after dinner pint to wash down whatever amazing treat you had at the Cafe'.

The atmosphere is okay and seating can be a little difficult especially if you're handicapped. They do their best to accommodate but it's still difficult to get around.
