    COPA - Cruzan | Creole 427 South Burnside Avenue, Gonzales, LA #tonylameats COPA officially opened this week, and I wanted to get there ASAP! The first question everyone will probably ask is, "What exactly is COPA?" COPA is a restaurant that blends Caribbean, Latin American, Creole, and American flavors into one menu. The name "Cruzan" pays homage to St. Croix, reflecting the family's Caribbean roots while celebrating the diverse food traditions that helped shape Louisiana's culinary culture. The restaurant is owned by father-and-son duo José and Jake Boriel, who created a space that brings together Caribbean comfort food, Creole classics, and Southern hospitality all under one roof. ([225]) I even had the chance to chat with owner Jake Boriel, and you can genuinely feel the passion, pride, and love that went into both the food and the restaurant itself. Right off the bat, the ambiance is well-presented, simple, clean, and inviting. Now let's get down to business! FOODIE ITEMS 1. PASTELILLO (3) Beef Empanadas | Cilantro Ranch 2. JERK CHICKEN SKEWERS (3) Spicy Mayo | Jamaican Spices 3. CALIENTE SHRIMP Gulf Shrimp | Sweet Chili 4. COCONUT CURRY SHRIMP Gulf Shrimp | Jasmine Rice 5. SKIRT STEAK Chimichurri | Jasmine Rice | Black Beans | Sweet Plantains 6. LECHON PLATE Slow Roasted Pork | Jasmine Rice | Black Beans | Sweet Plantains 7. CRAWFISH PIMENTO CROQUETS Louisiana Crawfish | Pimento Cheese | Citrus Pepper Jelly Unfortunately, I had my eye on a few other menu items like the Crispy Duck Wings, Cruzan Plantain Pancakes, and Rum Cake French Toast, but they were already sold out! Looks like I'll have to make a second trip. Tonylameats Approved Have you been yet? If so, what should I order on my next visit?

    I'm so excited to have a new dining option in Gonzales. They've done a great job with redecorating the building. Service was great. Our server was very enthusiastic, and we also got some attention from another server. Both freely offered their recommendations when it came to the menu. The only reason I didn't give it five stars is because the food was good, I'll definitely go back, but I can't say it blew me away. I look forward to trying more and a I do hope this place continues to be a success! I can't wait to try breakfast!

    Agave Blue Tequila & Taco Bar…read more 627 St Roch Ave, Gonzales, LA 70737 #tonylameats This was actually my first time checking out Agave Blue with the family, and man... the food, atmosphere, and view definitely did not disappoint! Everything came out fresh, flavorful, and packed with authentic vibes. Here's what we ordered: GOBERNADOR (favorite) Grilled tacos loaded with shrimp and queso Oaxaca. These were hands down the star of the table. CARNITAS Tender pork tacos topped with cilantro and onions. Simple but packed with flavor. LENGUA Tongue tacos topped with cilantro and onions. Super tender and well seasoned. FLAUTAS 4 crispy chicken taquitos topped with queso fresco, lettuce, sour cream, and tomatillo sauce, served with a side of rice. If you're looking for good food, great vibes, and a spot to kick back with family or friends, definitely come check this place out! Tonylameats Approved

    The salsa is hot with a pronounced tomato flavor (not much else). Chips were "meh." Not bad, but…read morethere were a few stale ones in the basket The carne asada torta was very good - and huge! The lengue tacos were okay - not the really great roast, beefy flavor it could be, but not bad. The pastor tacos were good, but the chicken mole were the best. I'll be back just for more of those. Or maybe the mole enchiladas.
