Checked out this spot while in town for a conference…read more Cute place! Walked a mile from hotel past a lot of empty restaurants on a Wednesday night but once I got here, place was pretty full! Got the shrimp and chorizo arepa after being recommended by server/bartender and what a great choice, the chorizo was really flavorful/ spiced well, shrimps were huge and delish. Even the plantain chips were yum, light and crispy. Got the flan to-go b/c was too full and was also very yummy. Great spot!

I stumbled upon this hidden gem while Yelping for a new lunch spot…read more El Magey succeeds at something that many buffet restaurants struggle with - the food tastes like it was prepared for a restaurant rather than simply produced for a steam table. Everything appeared and tasted like it was freshly prepared by staff who know how to cook. The enormous food selection this day included 2 soups, white and yellow queso's, a Mexican stew, pork tamales, chimichangas, chicken and pork fajitas, enchiladas, flautas, quesadillas, a taco bar, plantains, salads, fruit and several desserts including sopapillas. My favorite selection had to be the pork carnitas. They were seasoned, juicy and overall delicious. In my opinion, the overall variety is actually one of the establishments greatest strengths. Chips and salsa are free and house-made flour tortillas are available upon request. They even offer you a free cup of ice cream when bringing the check. Located on Siegen Lane, it offers a broad selection of Mexican and Latin American dishes, with the buffet supplemented by an à-la-carte menu. The restaurant currently lists hours beginning at 10:30 a.m., making it a particularly practical lunch destination. Next time you are craving great food with variety and at a reasonable price, I'd recommend giving El Magey a try! Stay safe out there and eat good food!!

That said, there are several red meat options on the buffet --more beef than pork--which was a delightful surprise. Another surprise was that it was still have beef tongue as an option. Of course, you have your normal and customary south of the border offerings such as tacos, enchiladas, tamales , chilli releno (??) and stuff to make fajitas. There are 3-4 soups of differing varieties which I think are worth sampling all, especially on colder days and multiple dessert options which are good any season. The ambiance is of a working class place with good ol home food which all should enjoy and like and designed to make you feel good--I certainly felt good and comfortable. The workers were attentive to our table as well as to the buffet line to make sure we had all we wanted and that the trays on the serving line remained full. Bueno!

Looking for gluten free options during a road trip isn't very easy. My family and I were traveling…read morefrom Houston to New Orleans and as dinner time approached while driving through Lafayette, we started looking for food options. When Patacon came up on my list I was ecstatic. We are Venezuelan/Colombian so finding our traditional food is always wonderful, especially after my celiac diagnosis. It was already 7pm so we had to take our food to go, but the restaurant is very clean inside and welcoming. The family who runs it are super nice and gave us lots of tips for our trips and made us want to go back. We ordered the reina pepiada and brisket arepas and we were in heaven. We have a lot of arepa places back in South Florida and my mom (who is super picky and hard to please) said the places we frequent should go to Patacon and learn from them! Gluten free review: happy to report, no issues with gluten for me having the reina pepiada! I asked about ingredients before ordering and it was a fit for me. ¡Gracias por todo al equipo Patacon! Hicieron nuestra parada super amena y deliciosa.

After discovering this little gem through a yelp event, I just had to bring my husband back!…read more Do not let the location scare you. We all know some of the best ethnic foods are not in the upscale side of town. I was given a very friendly welcome back and my husband was greeted like a friend as well. They have a great drink selection, so I encourage you to try something new. We were served the refried black beans and chips. I don't know what they do to these beans and I don't wanna know. Just keep'em coming!! My husband ordered a huge plate with all different meats, fried plantains and veggie salad. The steak and pork were beyond tender, and that flavor... wowww! It was like Honduran nachos, fried plantains covered in pico and aioli. Im sold! My dinner was equally delicious, more than I could eat. For two drinks, 2 huge dinners it was only $30, I'm sorry but no fancy restaurant can pull off that level of quality food, the amount of food for that price. Whether you're getting take out or dining in you'll feel welcomed. I can't wait to go back and try other items!

There's a saying that if you want some good food you'll find it attached to a gas station. This was…read moredefinitely all facts! I wasn't looking for anything specific to eat but this place called to me so I whipped into the parking lot and headed in! This is such a homey type of place that puts a lot of pride and joy in their food and showing off Latin culture. Los Alvarez Exxpress Latin Food is a local mom and pop spot on the corner of Gardere and Burbank next to the S&P Food Store/Chevron gas station. I wasn't exactly sure what to expect going in but what I got was a lot of warmth and comfort. This is a place for Latin locals to relax and get a bit of familiarity and good food. I dined in and ordered the Granadas Catrachas. Catrachas are traditionally known as Honduran tostadas. Los Alvarez puts their spin on it by using Granada flour to create a puff pocket and stuff it with meat, rice and cheese and serve it with encurtido (Honduran pickled vegetables). I ordered one with chicken and one with beef. The serving was huge and absolutely delicious! I was only able to eat one. That, on top of the chips and salsa and black bean dip had me full for the rest of the day! Everyone that works there is friendly and for a second you don't feel like you're in Baton Rouge. This is a magical place.

Real cloth napkins and nice heavy silverware were another nice touch. Hard to find those any more, even in upscale restaurants. My food was fresh and very well made. I had the Baleadas La Express Supreme breakfast which was two big breakfast tacos with steak, egg, cheese, avocado, crema, etc. Very filling, stick-to-your-ribs kind of food. The flour tortillas were thick and flaky. The rest of the ingredients were excellent as well. I wanted to get some plantains (I love plantains!) but I was too full to eat another bite. The servers and staff were friendly. My coffee cup never got empty. My food came out quickly. It was a little pricey for a breakfast, but it was worth it for the excellent food and the cultural experience with it. No complaints at all. Highly recommended. I will surely be coming back to try some of the other items on the menu.
