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.

Not to mention the pupusas of chicharrón did not taste like chicharrón, only cheese. Not satisfied.

Their produce is amazing. You can get radishes with the greens attached here, fresh cactus, and the most beautiful peppers of all varieties! Ideal Mart is a bit of a drive from my house, but it's worth it to get the freshest produce in Baton Rouge. And the hot bar and the made-fresh-daily agua freaca, don't even get me started. Everything is so good. Finally, the service is superb. The staff are all super helpful and practicality trip over themselves to help customers. I love this store.

Very nice people working there, and the service was good, but there's a language barrier for sure, and it's hard to know exactly what you're ordering from the pictures.

The baleadas were okay (I'm biased because nothing beats my mom's). That's okay because what I really stop by for is their delicious tacos!

Pro tip: ask for tortillas to be brought to your table. They're free, along with chips and salsa. Cons: They charge 1 year olds $7. I had to pay $6.99 for my 13 month baby. This is the only buffet I've been to that charges babies & children undr 3. Bc of that, it's a bit on the expensive side if you have small children who don't eat much. But that's really my only con. It's always clean. The side to the left of the buffet is for families & more open. The other side is a bit tighter & darker. I haven't tried the Agua frescas but they look good. We'll go back soon
