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!

Good prices, great service. I went here last week after living in Argentina for the past five…read moremonths and these empanadas are pretty good. 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.

Secondly, I had to ask for chips and salsa whenever it was already being served on the tables. I thought that was kind of interesting. Mind you I paid with tip $24 and some change for an order of nachos and a soft drink Coke. The guacamole was not worth eating in fact it was bland and had no texture whatsoever. I hate to harp on this, but having to ask for an order of chips and salsa when it was being delivered to the tables yet I was sitting at the bar and had to ask. Overall, it was not a pleasant experience what not worth the money I could've gone to Taco Bell and had nachos better than these

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.

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 their supposedly famous Meat Pie & the Corn fritters. Everything was decent at best. Meanwhile if you dine here hopefully you don't end up needing to use the restroom because it's down a hall in the back by stacked up dirty dishes & other garbage just laying around not to mention if you have to wait to get in there is nowhere really to stand. Needless to say we were quite disappointed & we will not be dining here again.

I had my doubts but this was solid BBQ especially considering most of the clients are in the military. I am not in the military since being a no limit soldier back in the 90s doesn't count, but yet, I found myself here. This is a order at the counter, they make your plate, you pay, sit, and eat. Easy peasy. I opted for their two meat plate with brisket, sausage, mac n cheese, and green beans. Was this the best bbq I have ever had? No. Was this the worst bbq I ever had? Absolutely not.
