Real cloth napkins and nice heavy silverware were another nice touch. Hard to find those any more, even in upscale restaurants. My food was fresh and very well made. I had the Baleadas La Express Supreme breakfast which was two big breakfast tacos with steak, egg, cheese, avocado, crema, etc. Very filling, stick-to-your-ribs kind of food. The flour tortillas were thick and flaky. The rest of the ingredients were excellent as well. I wanted to get some plantains (I love plantains!) but I was too full to eat another bite. The servers and staff were friendly. My coffee cup never got empty. My food came out quickly. It was a little pricey for a breakfast, but it was worth it for the excellent food and the cultural experience with it. No complaints at all. Highly recommended. I will surely be coming back to try some of the other items on the menu.

I've met who I believe are the mom, her husband, and their kids, and they're all so welcoming. The kids seem to help out a lot and they're very knowledgeable, polite, and professional which makes the experience even better. The food has been really good every time. I've tried their breakfast, pupusas, and empanadas, and I enjoyed all of it. One time the owner even gave me a concha to try without me asking, which I thought was such a kind gesture. The prices are very reasonable and the whole café has a warm, friendly vibe that makes you want to stay and come back again. Overall, it's a hidden gem in Mandeville with great food, fair prices, and a wonderful family atmosphere. I'm definitely planning on trying more of the menu soon

A Latin style tapas place in the arts district boasting flavors from South America (Argentina,…read morePeru, Venezuela, Yucatan), Mexico (Oaxaca and Mexico City), and the Caribbean. Fresh seafood from the Gulf of MEXICO and a wicked drink menu. They offer several ceviches. Tapas include guacamole, empanadas, crawfish queso, fish dip and veggie salads like crispy cauliflower and Brussels sprouts. We had the crispy cauliflower served with tempura, cashew habanero crema, garbanzo hash, and chimichurri. Loads of flavor and just the right bite size for tapas/apps. Plates include churrasco, fish and grits, paella (can be served veggie or without shellfish if you're allergic), lamb, Yucatan style pork, shrimp or steak mofongo, and chicken poblano. I had the churrasco, served with papas bravas. Steak cooked perfectly and seasoned perfectly. My husband had the steak mofongo and the beef tips, like the churrasco, were seasoned perfectly. The plantain mash was sweet and somehow savory at the same time. We loved both dishes. They make mean margaritas and caipirinhas hre, and also offer drinks like the paloma, the Bolivian sour, sangria, and specialty drinks. Service was amazing. She was so upbeat and helpful. This restaurant was a little slow when we went. It deserves a lot more love. It's so close to the touristy part of the French Quarter. Leave the gimmicky spots and come here, you won't regret it.

What a hidden gem! This little Cuban restaurant off O'Neal Lane was an unexpected and delicious…read morefind. The menu isn't huge, but that's part of its charm--they focus on classic Cuban favorites and absolutely nail the flavors. The bowls were outstanding: generous portions, perfectly seasoned, and honestly more food than we could finish. The empanadas were crispy on the outside, flavorful on the inside, and disappeared quickly from the table. The yucca fries were fresh, hot, and perfectly crisp--some of the best we've had. The only challenge is finding the place. It's tucked away in the back corner of a small shopping center and easy to miss if you're not paying attention. Once you know where it is, though, you'll be glad you made the effort. If you're looking for authentic Cuban flavors in Baton Rouge, this spot is absolutely worth seeking out. Great food, generous portions, and a meal that will have us coming back again. Highly recommended!

The staff was incredibly kind and attentive without being overbearing, which made the whole evening even better. The food was really good overall, but the empanadas were definitely a standout--absolutely delicious and something I'd come back for on their own. That said, while everything was enjoyable, there was just something missing that kept it from being a full 5/5 for me. I can't quite put my finger on it--nothing was wrong, it just didn't completely wow me. Still, it's a great spot with a beautiful atmosphere and solid food!
