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.

If you are looking for a bar with non authentic Mexican food, this is the place. I ordered the steak fajitas with flour tortillas. I give the one star for the guacamole. That was the toughest fajita meat I have ever had. I am not sure how other reviews stated this was flavorful. It was bland. didn't finish the meal. We didn't take any with us. My co worker ordered a flauta. He stated this is the whitest Mexican restaurant on the planet. The inside had a 60s vibe with 60s and 70s rock music playing on the television. The prices are very expensive for the quality. This place should be a hard pass for anyone looking for good Mexican food.

I haven't been here for at least seven maybe possibly 10 years since Renee Ortlieb was the owner…read more The reason I came back to try it today was because after a visit to La Mexicana a few days ago only to learn it has closed (and it had become my staple for the area of authentic Mexican). To my surprise, la Tienda Latina is a Honduran restaurant. To my taste Honduran food is blander then real Mexican food. After reading the reviews, I ordered a Mexican coke and an appetizer while I looked at the menu. The friendly English speaking waitress brought salsa and chips to the table, along with my Coke and ample sized appetizer. Shortly after she returned with the Honduran tamale ( chose pork vs chicken). She also brought two condiment bottles of homemade sauces, both green tomatillo and red chili .. both very standard at authentic places. The salsa and chips were nice and fresh tasting and I particularly liked the green sauce with the tamale sauce. Realizing how much food this was already I decided just to order a side of refried beans and some Mexican Crema, which was actually perfect, and I had food to bring home because I only ate half of the tamale and about a fourth of the beans which were delicious. The tamale did need extra flavor although it was packed with potatoes and rice and chunks of cooked roast type pork, and a few peas I think. For the price I think it's quite a bargain to fill up on. However, I filled up quickly by drinking a second Mexican Coke, and had an extra order of the salsa with the chips. I dipped the chips in the beans which were absolutely probably my favorite dish of all. La Tienda won't replace the flavors and menu formerly offered at La Mexicana. I'll have to find another place that has similar type food, but I did enjoy my experience here. However Hondorian food isn't what I get cravings for. Yet, the restaurant was tidy and clean, although I didn't go to the restroom, which is always very telling of how clean a restaurant is. Btw, I know Mexican cokes are usually very pricey, but the idea of paying eight dollars for two medium (quantity) cokes is annoying, but the price of on tap cold drinks has gone up significantly as well around the Baton Rouge area, so often I just have to order water in order to enjoy a sit down meal eating out without paying a total cost of what I used to consider to be premium dinner time treat when I'm just looking for a quick afternoon lunch. Due to my budget lunch (appetizer & 2 sides) selection today I went ahead & ordered a 2nd bottle, and quite enjoyed it, and therefore I have leftovers to enjoy later. I will keep reading other food reviews made here so I can return again and try something else and just maybe I'll find a new favorite!

We arrive here to this very cozy restaurant in the corner of the shopping center. We entered and were greeted immediately. They have a bar of the left side when entering on the right side just a few booths and huge tvs. It was perfect for watching the World Cup. Tuesday here meant taco specials. I didn't get a picture of the specials menu but I believe it was $2 per taco so I got 5! Chicken, Carne Asada, and Carnitas. I also got rice and beans and side. It wasn't included but I didn't care. The margaritas were buy 1 get 1. By this time im already in heaven and the fact that we drinks were great put it over the top. The chips and salsa were home made! They were cut in strips so you know they make them in house. They are also dusted with a delicious seasoning. The food came out nice and hot in about 15 mins or so. The chicken tacos were a bit on the dry side for me but still good. The Carne asada were my favorite. The star of the show were the refried beans. I've never tasted refried beans that damn good. Very well seasoned. My date ate all of his shrimp and fish tacos so im guessing he also enjoyed his meal. All of this food for about $50 and I think it's the cheapest ive paid for a date night in a long time. I can't wait to become a regular.

The decor of the place is very unique to the Mexican culture with a sports bar twist. It's a smaller restaurant mainly with booths and one bar area. The complimentary chips and salsa were unique compared to what you would usually find with their own house made chips with a seasoning on it. The agua fresca I ordered was alright but a little watered down. The soft drinks are served as bottles. The torta de asada was delicious! It was very stuffed and not skimpy at all. The mixed cocktail was a newer menu item and it was so refreshing!! All the seafood in it was very clean, and the cocktail itself had many vegetables and a great tangy flavor. The fried fish was amazing!!! There are not many places where you can order a whole fried fish in this area so this definitely hit the spot. It was very crispy, juicy, and flavorful!! They served more salsas on the side with the food (the green one was perfect!). The service was alright. We got what we needed, but they could have checked up on us more.
