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.

This was a terrible experience. They don't have much on the menu, and they don't speak English. We…read moreordered our food, amd strictly said no beans. We also asked for chips and salsa, and they brought out what looked like beans, which looked disgusting. They brought out our food and served white rice instead of Mexican rice. My wife's food had bones in it. She ordered a Sprite, and there was something floating in the bottle. Since they don't speak English, they didn't do anything. To top it off, they charge gratuity.

This restaurant is a fully authentic and family run small business you have to try for yourselves. It's located in a small building on the eastern portion of Florida Blvd., east of the Hi Neighbor Supermarket. They have takeout, but there is also an adequate amount of seating so one can comfortably eat in. The menu explains each dish to the uninitiated, and there are some great combination plates. However, you could also order an appetizer and a side or two to make your own combination or to try different things. A couple of papusas and a side might make a nice option. Don't forget the authentic drinks while you are at it. There's several types of sodas you should check out. I had my first banana flavored Honduran soda last time I stopped in, it's was deliciously different!

There aren't many people there that speak English, and that's a good thing. While I'm not a scholar of Honduran food, I'm pretty sure that this is some authentic stuff. It really doesn't matter what I order; I'm guaranteed that it'll be a culinary adventure into something new and very, very tasty. Memorable dishes include the pastelitos de carne molida, and the pollo frito con tajadas.

HOWEVER, there was another language barrier issue or mix up that happened a second time. We ordered the beef ribs and some how got the tajadas instead? We'll definitely be coming back & will be checking the menu beforehand to WRITE our orders down. Not sure how this mix up happened for a second time, but it's really no issue to us. But, I'm sure this could be an issue for others wanting to come to try this place. We didn't even mention it, they were delicious!! Just beware & maybe be open to trying something new :)

For one of the loneliest food trucks in Baton Rouge, Antojitos Express has been sitting roadside…read morealong Gardere Ln, in an unpaved field between buildings. They've shared the space with other food trucks, which has usually found business when next door Dorothy's (#1) has an influx of cars in the adjacent lot. It may pass itself off as a taco truck, but like many of the Latin businesses in the city, it's really a Honduran one. My first time coming here was a tough one. It was late afternoon and their platters had sold out for the day but they had still had number of meats (chorizo, barbacoa, chicharron) available for tacos. The subsequent result was an unmemorable output of tacos that I wouldn't care to get again. No salsas, limes, and additional condiments could save the meal. As always, shoot for their Honduran specialties. However, their platos tipicos plates are the real true sell. The early morning / lunch crowds will enjoy their carne asada plate, which is often paired with their rice and beans with a little cabbage salad topped with chimol. If not, the baleadas are usually a safe bet. I prefer mine "con todo" with eggs, meat, chicken, sausage, cheese, beans, and crema. There is no set schedule that I've been able to find in the last few years. They will appear and sometimes not be there at all. Social media has been sparse and like many trucks, the prices aren't listed on the menu. The service has been lukewarm at best and I would recommend going the takeout / eat in car route since the outdoor seating provided is limited and not weather proof. ___________ (#1) https://www.yelp.com/biz/dorothys-soul-food-kitchen-baton-rouge My photos: https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/antojitos-express-baton-rouge?userid=ysCBsXWPB-LAiewVS3jZfQ

We didn't see many reviews online but I'm so happy we took a chance on this amazing spot.

We especially enjoyed the spicy cornmeal beef pies and grilled fish that practically fell off the bone! There was a bit of a wait time but it was worth it given the price point and attention to detail.

We stumbled upon Taquería El Viejón in front of the Latinos Supermarket on Florida Blvd and there were already a handful of people there waiting for their food. This was an obvious sign that this place was good, so we pulled up and checked out the menu a bit before walking up to place our order. The older gentleman that took our order didn't understand English too well, so try your best to order in Spanish or use your phone to attempt translation. He was very nice and patient and did his best to work through the language barrier. What immediately caught our attention was the advertisement of tacos de lenguas (beef tongue) and tripas (tripe)! You know it's legit when they serve those two proteins. I highly recommend this spot! The owners are friendly and hardworking and the food is delicious. It was pretty busy around the time we came (7pm) and the food took about 20 min, but no complaints as they are working from a confined space and juggling call in orders as well as walk up orders. Their tortillas were fresh, the beef tongue was so flavorful, tender, and juicy, and the HOT SALSA was on another level! It gave me that booty hole burning spice and that's exactly what I want!!! We noticed some people ordering something that comes in a chip bag so we might try that next along with the quesabirria. One thing I wish they had was homemade guacamole, because I looove topping my tacos with it!
