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.

Large menu with a variety of options, I have the tacos , which came with beans and rice, the beans were nice and the rice held its own, the other dish had fried chicken, this was a first for me coming from Mexican food, and was surprised by the flavor which was great, the only thing was the coleslaw I would like on the side, so it doesn't take away the crunchy chicken other then that great, just get the slaw on the side and you have something special that goes well with the fried plantains. Very friendly service, and they have their own flair.

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 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.

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.

We ordered the cheese dip & chips, chili relleno, veggie quesadilla, and child's burrito with beans and cheese. The dip was made with white cheese and we all liked it much better than the yellow cheese dip that is usually served in Texas (where we live). My son ordered the chili relleno and said it was the best he's ever had. I tried it and it was very good. I LOVED the quesadillas. They contained cheese and grilled veggies, and they were delicious. They don't have a bar, which means no margaritas. If we lived closer, we would visit more often!

My visit here was a lunch visit, arriving shortly after 11:30 am---even so it was the lunch rush and almost all of the tables were filled. That must be typical because the restaurant's staff was more than ready to accomodate my table and all others there---food was ordered and it was served quick. Between the 3 of us we order plates /combos of food which would be an entree (chicken or beef) with rice and beans. Also, some orders come with a small cup of soup which was tasty but not greasy. Overall, I finished my plate and was not hungry 1 but that afternoon so I will say portions are plentiful. Because of time, we did not try any desserts.

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.
