I have been coming to the Farmer's Market for yeeeeears! I LOVE it! First, it's free to get in!…read moreSecond, if you're a male on a date, this is theee place to go on a Saturday morning! You can walk around, eat breakfast, get your morning coffee, squeeze and thump a couple of melons (Hey!...No! I know what you're thinking!) The Farmer's Market, located at Festival Plaza in downtown Shreveport, is a nice place to people-watch, it's a great way to spend a Saturday morning, shooting the breeze, talking to farmers, merchants bout their crops and wares. This year (2012) looks to be the most popular and well-attended yet! Just about everything (literally) is sold under the sun! Everything is covered by large tents or canopies so you can stay cool! Today I bought a huge Patron bottle filled w/ delicious tabasco peppers! Awesome!...There is also a nice lady, under the bridge, after you've walked through both large tents, selling the most delicious breakfast sandwich, made to order...It's a chorizo sausage with a fried egg on top...THE BEST!!! She makes other breakfast items and other delicious Mexican dishes. The name of her business is Ki Mexico and just look for her booth under the bridge near the restrooms! Also look for Herb Swooch, who sells homemade dog and cat treats (that's right!) and jars up a mean set of peppers as well (See Patron bottle-only 8 bucks!!) Anyway, love the Farmer's Market, it's just a great community gathering. There is also a Farmer's Market, albeit a somewhat smaller version, on Tuesday afternoons. Here is the schedule: Summer Market- every Saturday until September 1st. Saturdays 7am to noon every Tuesday until July 17th Tuesdays 3pm to 6pm. Fall Market-Saturdays only-October 27th to November 17th Saturday 8am to noon The following is just a very short list of some of the things that are sold at the Farmer's Market: Fresh fruit and vegetables (of course!), all sorts of baked breads, cookies, cakes, pies, pork rinds, flavored crackers, beef jerky, fresh cut meats, wine, arts and crafts, salsas, jellies, jams and preserves, pickled this and pickled that, food made to order (such as sandwiches, coffee and cokes), live music, etc, etc, etc. Most vendors are cash only, so bring a wad of cash with you! 20 bucks will get you pretty far and should suffice, unless you lose control here, which is easy to do, and then you may wish you brought a little bit more with you. Parking is also free! I love the Fall Market too! It rocks! And if memory serves me right, the Tuesday (Summer) Market also has a cash bar in addition to live music, so bring your i.d.! There is no cash bar at the Market on Saturdays, sorry, to all of you crawling out of the bars and clubs downtown at 6am! Trying to still get your drink on! Go home!

This is the kind of farmer's market that's worth a visit, even if you don't really need anything…read more It's organized and big enough to always be worth a visit, but still feels local and funky and not overwhelming. Everything from veggies and meat to preserves to beauty products and plants.

A recent FB question about who has the best fried mushrooms sparked a quest for me…read more Was it blind Tiger? Gibbons? Fumbles? The answers were varied. Turns out Gibbons doesn't even have them. Tigers was using very large mushrooms with caps that had opened. Better suited for sliced / sautéed. They were okay but I definitely enjoyed Fumbles more. The historic building is old and rundown. The old pool table was gone as well as the video poker room. The cubby with the autograph pictures and pay phone is just a dump station for lazy (or busy) staff. T-shirts available in a rainbow of colors. $17-$19 Restroom was okay.

Best Mexican food around the Bossier area for sure! Food also came out within 8-10 minutes.read more

I have been a patron of Pepe's for the past twenty-plus years. I am a Pepe's loyalist and…read moreenthusiast. I love Pepe's. I love it and I always will. So, I say all of this with a large outpouring of love. Pepe's has pulled possibly the biggest okey doke of all time. I'll explain. It was the end of the summer when I happened to be in Haughton and driving down the highway here, saw Pepe's from afar. And wow, from this distance and a rather high rate of speed, I saw at a glance, that Pepe's had changed. Like, it had a makeover. An extreme makeover. Pepe's of old was this comfortable, homey, free-standing yellow building with a very tiny interior located next to a strip mall. As I zipped by at summer's end, I could see that the yellow building was no longer, but that it appeared Pepe's had taken new residence within the neighboring strip mall. What I saw in-person from the car, and later online, like here on Yelp, was this unbelievable transformation. The outside of this new location looked fabulous. They did it. They got a new place! I loved the old spot but they always needed more room, more space, no telling what else they've done? But I could never find any pics of the new interior. What's it look like now? Not even here on Yelp. The much-adored yellow building is gone! I want to see the new place. Guess I'll have to check it out myself. So I did. For dinner one night. Pulling up. I eagerly get out of the car. It does look great. Even better standing there. They have a new parking lot even. This is great! I walk in. It is the exact same restaurant. The exact same place and location. Nothing's changed, 'cause nothing ever did. It is the original location. It's not a new location. They have matched, blended and attached the exterior of the old Pepe's to the strip mall. That is it. It is not new, not larger, not expanded or remodeled or updated. It is the exact same Pepe's as it always was and is. It has not changed. Literally, lipstick on a pig. Literally. But it's s good thing I love pigs. What I don't love is their sky high dinner menu. Hardly anything under twenty bucks. I've always been more of a lunch guy here. And that's when I'll return. But it was quite jarring to walk into what I thought was going to be this brand new Pepe's 2.0, only to see the same old, tiny, old interior hitting me back in the face. Stop by Pepe's for lunch if you're on a budget and feeling sentimental. Ain't nothing changed here. It's the same ol' same ol'. Not that that's a bad thing.

I don't remember if we took a while to browse the menu (this was our first time) but our food arrived at 5pm. I ordered the : "BIRRIA TACOS MEXICAN #39 ($16) Three yellow corn tacos dipped in birria juice, stuffed with birria beef, cheese, onions, and cilantro then grilled to crisp. Served with mexi- rice and charro beans" they were fantastic. So good!! As usual I was not able to finish and boxed my leftovers. When I received the check- my meal was priced at $13 (maybe priced for lunch?) I don't know. But it didn't hurt my feelings. Anyhow. It was a pleasant visit. Until the next table came in and was sat right directly beside us. Despite the empty room. Oh well. I definitely recommend!!

He was overwhelmed with not knowing what he was looking at on the menu. I ordered the Birria tacos and a Mexican beer. Jason looked at me looking panicked and unsure. I said he wants the same thing. We took our # and got a table Gallo beer in hand. 8:15. Out tacos landed at 8:18. So fast and efficient can effectively describe this place. The tacos were AMAZING. I could only eat 1- (of 3) Jason ate 2. So I had to box up 3. The did well left over. I really enjoyed them. I didn't see / find what I ordered on the marquee or in the menu. I have no idea how much the beer cost. I didn't get a receipt. There was a salsa / condiment bar that I didn't make use of because I was done eating when I went exploring and discovered it. The restrooms was clean and well stocked. All in all I give it a five. I think Jason was less impressed. We're going to settle on a 4.

Shoutout to Angela. She was our waitress on our first visit here today and she did a great job…read more Owners and managers do whatever you need to do to hang onto her or she'll easily be able to go elsewhere. My first impression was it's larger than it looks on the outside with ample outdoor seating as well. From what I could see glancing around it was kept clean. There were no tables with dirty dishes left on them anywhere and the floor was clean. The Day of the Dead (El Día de los Muertos) artwork is a bold and risky move but it paid off. It's vibrant and colorful and would look great under a blacklight I bet for party occasions. You know what? Maybe a blacklight spotlight just shining directly onto the artwork to make it pop would look fantastic and wouldn't require blacklighting the entire room. Personally, I really like it. We were greeted and seated immediately. Typical option of table or booth. We chose booth as always if there's one available. We had chips and dip on the table within a couple of minutes. The chips were ever so slightly overcooked, but not quite to the point of tasting burned. I'm curious if the chips are fried in-house. They seemed to be. The salsa was average - not too hot, not too mild. We ordered a variety of food, like 8 different food items. They all had a good taste and presentation. One thing that particularly stuck out to me is that when I tilted my taco sideways to take a bite, grease didn't pour out of the other end and the shell wasn't soggy. Thank you for draining the meat before putting it into the taco. Please keep doing this. It was a little pricey. Around $50 for two entrees and two cokes. Make it $60 after tipping Angela and it's not the cheapest place in town for two people to go. The noise level was high. The people at the bar were being very loud. Some sort of divider or some way to help keep the noise confined to the bar area would be nice. We couldn't even talk to each other at times because of the noise from the bar. Overall, we enjoyed it and will be trying it again in the future.
