If you're craving sushi and in Natchioches, you have got to try Hana. My boyfriend and I were…read morefiending sushi. Now I don't know if you know this, but Louisiana isn't exactly known for their sushi. Still, this place had good reviews and he was craving a spicy tuna roll like no other. The restaurant is located downtown, right down the street from Northwestern State University. The area is adorable and Hana has a really nice spot. We sat at the bar and were treated to a delicious crab and cucumber salad. We ordered 5 rolls, all averaging from $5-$10. Being used to New York City prices, this was a steal! The rolls came out about 5 or 10 minutes later and they were amazing. This place could easily rival any other expensive place I've gone to in the city. My favorite was the Tiger's Eye Roll. It had smoked salmon, cream cheese, and jalapeno covered in rice. The Spicy Tuna roll was very interesting. It tasted like the chef had rolled the tuna in jalapeno juice. It was too spicy for my liking but my boyfriend liked it a lot. We had another roll (maybe the rock and roll?) that was stuffed with snow crab, cucumber, jalapeno, and topped with tuna and crunchy. The pieces were so big they were hard to fit in my mouth! Regardless of the size, this roll was delicious. The Crawfish Roll was my boyfriend favorite. It had crawfish tempura, snow crab, and avocado. The sauce that was on it was amazing and the crawfish was absolutely perfect. Our check came and it was only $40. The only problem was we ordered 5 rolls but only received 4 rolls. Our waitresses had changed, so the new waitress didn't know quite what to do. The chef insisted that he gave us 5 rolls but unless two of the rolls only had 4 pieces (as opposed to the typical 8) then we only received 4 rolls. My boyfriend tried to explain that the other roll we ordered had shrimp tempura in it. Clearly, there were no tails leftover on our plates therefore we did not get the roll. The waitress was flustered and said the chef said he gave it to us. Finally, we told her to just run the card. So much for the customer always being right. The place was super dead for a Saturday night. The restaurant itself was so cute and charming, definitely a perfect date spot. The service is meh. We weren't there that long yet we had two or three different waitresses. Plus the whole debacle with the missing roll. Could've been handled better, for sure. All that being said, if I ever find myself in Natchitoches and craving sushi again, I will definitely be hitting up this place.

Sometimes the best discoveries come from plans that fall apart…read more Our Houston trip unexpectedly evaporated, and rather than sit around frustrated, we decided to head north and see where the road took us. That decision paid off when we ended up at El Patio in Zwolle. The restaurant was a nice surprise. The decor had a festive Mexican feel with colorful streamers, flags, and bright colors. Everything was neatly painted, clean, and cool, which was a welcome retreat from the oppressive summer heat outside. We arrived in the early afternoon, so we missed whatever lunch crowd might have been there. The first thing they bring out is a basket of hot tortilla chips. They were fresh and tasted like they had just come out of the fryer. They offer guacamole and other extras, but don't overlook the homemade salsa. It's cooked, served chilled, not too spicy, and not overloaded with cilantro. Really good. The pineapple margaritas were another highlight. They came in heavy crockery mugs that kept them ice cold. They were so good we bought a pair of the mugs to take home as souvenirs from our little road trip. The funny thing is, after the hour drive home, those mugs were still cool to the touch. They really hold the cold. We both ordered the Speedy Gonzalez. The enchilada came covered in a rich mole-based chili sauce, and the plate included a hard-shell taco plus your choice of rice or beans. We chose both. The refried beans were flavorful, the Spanish rice was light and fluffy, and the taco was excellent. The beef was just a little salty for our taste, but the Monterey Jack cheese was a nice touch and everything came together well. We finished with sopapillas, which came out hot, covered with cinnamon and sugar, with honey on the side. They were delicious. Our only disappointment? No coffee. Those warm sopapillas were begging for a cup of coffee afterward. That's a small complaint, though. Great service, great chips, homemade salsa, excellent margaritas, good food, and even a souvenir to remember the trip by. El Patio turned an unexpected change of plans into a very enjoyable afternoon.
