    If I were a Louisiana native, I would stop at Bergeron's Boudin & Cajun Meats religiously. People…read moresay trucking doesn't have its perks, but sometimes it definitely does. I was able to stop by about an hour before closing and asked one of the two ladies working there if they made their Cajun seasoning in-house. She confirmed that they do, and they offer both regular and low-sodium versions. I went with the low-sodium seasoning and decided to grab a few things to eat while I was there. I picked up two alligator bites, and they were phenomenal. Then I tried two Pepper Jack Boudin Balls, and those were even better. I could honestly eat those at any time of day and be completely happy with life. What really surprised me was how fresh everything tasted. Since some of the food was under the heat lamp, you might expect it to be a little dry, especially the alligator bites, but it was the complete opposite. The outside was crispy, the inside was hot, fresh, and flavorful, and everything had just the right amount of spice. It honestly tasted like it had been made shortly before I walked in. I also grabbed a smoked chicken wing because another customer told me they were really good. He was absolutely right. He was also picking up what looked like an entire platter of Boudin Balls, enough for a football party or family gathering, and mentioned that he comes here all the time. That definitely made me feel like I had stopped at the right place. The customer service was excellent as well and the ambiance is refreshing. I wasn't sure where the Cajun seasoning was, and instead of simply pointing me toward the back corner, one of the ladies actually walked around the counter, grabbed it for me, and asked whether I wanted regular or low sodium. It was a small gesture, but that kind of service really stands out. I also picked up a 9-pack of smoked chicken bites to try something different. Being a truck driver, you are often limited to gas station and truck stop food, and I get tired of that pretty quickly. Being able to stop somewhere like this and grab real Cajun food and smoked meats was a huge plus. I will definitely be back to spend some more of my hard-earned cash here. Great food, great customer service, and an overall excellent experience. It was truly a pleasure stopping in.

    Great selection of frozen cajun items to pick up and enjoy later. They also have some hot deli…read moreitems. I tried the chicken cracklin and it was ok, but I prefer the pork. The boudain balls are great... load up on those for sure. They also had some different flavors of king cakes.. its my favorite time of year! The shop has an old country vibe with a butchers touch. It's also kind of a weird turn in next to an auto sales lot, and limited parking. It wasn't busy when I went.

    The Most Adventurous Review I've Ever Written…read more On my way to Subway for lunch, I drove past the new Mexican place near the VA. I walk in and am very pleased with all the authentic Mexican groceries, piñatas, and their in-store, non-Tex-Mex restaurant. THANK YOU JESUS! I waited at the deli-style counter for awhile until a waitress emerged from the back. As I tried to get her attention, she disappeared and returned from the back with a guy that looked like he was in the middle of food prep. He was very kind, spoke English, and answered my questions. Aha! I get it! I'm TOTALLY in for AUTHENTIC Mexican food!!! I order, then sit down. The waitress brings my food and I ask in English where I get a drink. She looked at me like a deer caught in the headlights. Yes! An opportunity to practice some Spanish! Quenching my thirst depends on it!!! We converse in my broken Spanish, the guy from the back looks on and smiles, and I get a drink. SCORE! The food was nice and spicy. I went to the bathroom to wash my hands and groom my beard. I went to unlock the door, and the lock didn't turn. I grabbed the handle, it was loose, and it wouldn't open the door. I played with the lock, and something seemed to slip. Turning the handle wasn't producing any action to open the door. I was stuck...but wait! I had my Leatherman! I could get out of this situation! I removed the screws from the handle, and the outside handle hit the floor. Surely it was enough to get someone's attention. I waited, nothing. I yelled, in Spanish, through the door knob hole. Nothing. I yelled again, in Spanish, nothing. I'm gonna die in a Mexican bathroom, one block from work, in the states. Think, think, think. I have a Leatherman! I looked at the wide gap in the door, then selected the longest blade from my tool. It took little effort to move what I needed to move, and then I was FREE!!! I emerged from the bathroom, and no one seemed to notice anything. Not even the door handle lying on the ground. The waitress walked up to me and handed me my check, so I handed her the door handle hardware. She looked at me like I had somehow vandalized the store, but I motioned and requested to speak to the man in the back from earlier. A different person came from the front of the store, probably sensing my frustration, and I told him that I was locked in the bathroom and had to get myself out. It was actually pretty funny. I'm sure they were embarrassed and didn't know how to respond, but had it been anyone else, they would have given them an ear full. Though I still had to pay for my food, I intend on returning. Hopefully I gave them enough fodder to tell their friends and family a funny gringo story for today.
