Overall, a pleasant dinner with good service and generous portions. We'll might go back to try some other menu items.

This review is for one dish and one dish only - the Chiles Cobijados…read more They stuff jalapeños with cheese, wrap it in bacon and get it perfect every single time. The bacon is deliciously crispy without being greasy at all. The cheese is a perfect combination of melty and hot without being gooey. The jalapeño is soft but not soggy- has a tiny bit of crunch! The portion of the bean dip/spread? With chips is just what you need without going overboard. I will say this is my hyper obsession meal because I know I can only get it here. There isn't any other place in town that I have found that serves this exact same dish. The plate comes with three of them, rice, salad, beans+chips. If you're there for anything else and want to try one chile they will let you add it to your entree.

Another great find for Mexican food!…read more Ya'll. I have been searching high and low for good Mexican in this city and was starting to think it just didn't exist. I know most people are going to be like, "but Angie, you have the best food on the planet in Lafayette. Why in the world are you looking for Mexican?" Well, while you're not wrong about the best food on the planet part, ya girl likes variety. La Pagua has been recommended to me before and I tried it once about a two years ago and found it to be just mediocre. I decided to give it another try not too long ago and was so impressed I ate there twice that week. Their tacos are all pretty good but the barbacoa is the BEST. I recommend trying out a few just to see which one you like because they are really affordable and all delicious. But I am going to bet you'll love the barbacoa one the most. I judge all Mexican places on their burrito and their chicken and shrimp passed my test with flying colors. I've dined in once and the atmosphere is upbeat and fun. Go give La Pagua a try!

However, I found this PERFECTLY portioned lunch called the Monterrey. It's basically a ~1 cup portion of a choice of protein (Shrimp and Chicken are my favorites), ~1 cup grilled veggies, and ~1.5 cup of Mexican rice. Also, their chips and queso are AMAZING.

Oy vey. What are we going to do with La Carreta? This was the most gentrified "Mexican" restaurant…read morethat I've ever been to in my entire life. I ordered a rice bowl and there were cucumbers and sour cream present. And not one ounce of flavor. Even after drowning the creation with leftover salsa and Tabasco sauce--yes Tabasco sauce because there was no Mexican hot sauce to be found. The birria tacos were a lot more palatable but the flavor of the consommé was overpowered by the amount of cilantro of lime. Decent chips and salsa for the table but it would take a lot to ruin chips and salsa.

I have passed this restaurant…read morefor years and never thought to stop, but this particular evening I was in the mood for a true Taco Tuesday which for me means a good margarita and plenty of chips and salsa. My family joined me and the atmosphere immediately felt local and customer focused. The complimentary chips and salsa set the tone. The salsa had a distinct and fresh flavor with a light kick. It did not taste canned, and I even overheard another table asking if the recipe had recently changed. Whatever they are doing, it works. I ordered the fajita quesadilla which was a nice portion and came with rice and beans that were both enjoyable. My margarita was not as strong as I prefer. I do not need to taste the alcohol, but I at least want to feel like I am not drinking juice. My parents ordered the Texas fajita which came with four meats including chorizo, chicken, shrimp, and steak. They were genuinely impressed and said they would order it again. Overall, I would definitely return. This spot earned a place on my list for an easy and satisfying weeknight dinner.
