This review is for one dish and one dish only - the Chiles Cobijados…read more They stuff jalapeños with cheese, wrap it in bacon and get it perfect every single time. The bacon is deliciously crispy without being greasy at all. The cheese is a perfect combination of melty and hot without being gooey. The jalapeño is soft but not soggy- has a tiny bit of crunch! The portion of the bean dip/spread? With chips is just what you need without going overboard. I will say this is my hyper obsession meal because I know I can only get it here. There isn't any other place in town that I have found that serves this exact same dish. The plate comes with three of them, rice, salad, beans+chips. If you're there for anything else and want to try one chile they will let you add it to your entree.

Absolutely Amazing Latin Cuisine Dining Experience!…read more From the moment I walked in, the energy, aroma, and warmth of this place blew me away. The food is authentically Latin, full of bold flavors and made with obvious love. Every dish tasted like a celebration -- from the perfectly seasoned meats to the fresh, vibrant sides. The service was just as impressive. Friendly, attentive, and genuinely proud of what they serve. You can tell this restaurant puts heart into everything they do. The atmosphere is lively without being overwhelming, making it perfect for a date night, family meal, or just grabbing something delicious after a long day. If you're craving real Latin flavor that feels like home, this is the spot. I'll definitely be coming back -- highly recommended! Latin Cusine 504 delivers every time

The meat marinades are fantastic. The pickled jalapenos and onions are really good. The rice is…read morepretty plain. The portions are ok. The service is pretty good. Go here is you want some deep layers on meat flavors and something a little different. I would definitely recommend this place for a single person or a couple. I wouldn't recommend it for a large group with kids.

The food was really good, but the service at checkout wasn't the best. The person helping us seemed…read moredistracted. I had to say "sir" several times just to get his attention. When my husband went up to order, he tried pointing at the menu (since it's large and easier that way), but the person wasn't accepting. He was only doing that to avoid mispronouncing anything, especially after I had just been corrected somewhat abruptly on pronunciation when I asked about an item. It made the interaction feel a bit uncomfortable. We went around 2-3, thinking it might be a quieter time since we were coming in with an infant (which is new for us), but it actually started getting pretty busy. They do have some baby/car seat accommodations, which was helpful, but the dining area itself isn't very spacious; there wasn't much room for a stroller. Overall, the food was great, and we'd still return if we were in the area again to try more items, but the customer service and space could definitely use some improvement.

Looking for gluten free options during a road trip isn't very easy. My family and I were traveling…read morefrom Houston to New Orleans and as dinner time approached while driving through Lafayette, we started looking for food options. When Patacon came up on my list I was ecstatic. We are Venezuelan/Colombian so finding our traditional food is always wonderful, especially after my celiac diagnosis. It was already 7pm so we had to take our food to go, but the restaurant is very clean inside and welcoming. The family who runs it are super nice and gave us lots of tips for our trips and made us want to go back. We ordered the reina pepiada and brisket arepas and we were in heaven. We have a lot of arepa places back in South Florida and my mom (who is super picky and hard to please) said the places we frequent should go to Patacon and learn from them! Gluten free review: happy to report, no issues with gluten for me having the reina pepiada! I asked about ingredients before ordering and it was a fit for me. ¡Gracias por todo al equipo Patacon! Hicieron nuestra parada super amena y deliciosa.

On a corner with ample parking its an old home thats been renovated. Inside seating is comfortable and relaxed, outside there's plenty of patio seating There's plenty of empanada options to chose from , so many you may just freeze wondering what to order but my stomach spoke with authority and I ordered the : boudin empanada, the ham and cheese empanada, the pepperoni pizza empanada and the Philly cheese steak empanada. The lunch special is 3 and a beverage but the sweet gal working there cut me a break Now the empanada. First, they"re not fried but baked! What would be thought of as possibly being heavy and doughie was extremely light! The texture inside was excellent - you could see multiple layers of crust and the flavors were all authentic. Each empanada was better then the next BUT the best hands down was the Phlly Cheesesteak. To me the empanada size were a cross between a jumbo appetizer and a full size empanada- point being i probably could a ate 10! Perfect stop in for a unique lunch or to even bring to a party and the staff was incredibly friendly and interested in your experience asking which empanada was my favorite! I even made a ranch dressing mess on the floor and the young gal didnt hesitate a moment to correct it ca c'est du bon manger", .. see you next time in Lafayette!

I had two beef and one ham & cheese, and other members of my party loved the chicken ones. The alfajores were good even though I'm not a huge fan of using dough that has a lemony flavor. The decor is cute. I like that they played videos of an Argentine asado on the TVs. The owner is Argentine, so my dad and I were able to speak Spanish with him.
