Finally! I have found good Mexican food in Louisiana. Kept it simple today with beef enchiladas, but also wanted to try out the bistek taco. Happy to report everything was excellent. The tacos are small, what you would cal street tacos. I would probably order 4-5 if that’s all I was eating. Beef was tender and flavorful. Also the taco sauce had a nice kick. As far as the enchiladas, another home run. The rice is yellow, and a nice change from the standard red Spanish rice. Beans had a good flavor and the enchilada gravy was seriously good. Some places overpower the sauce with to much cumino or chili powder. But, LaPagua gets it just right.
La Pagua is one of the better Mexican restaurants in Lafayette. The interior is a tad on the small size so it does not take long for it to fill up when they are busy. If the weather is good there is seating on the outside. My favorite dish is the Ceviche. La Pagua absolutely hands down make the very best Ceviche I have ever eaten. The flavors just excite your mouth. I usually eat it with the corn chips they serve with the appetizer. I have gone there a many times and just order the Ceviche and the white cheese dip or the guacamole dip. Their signature drink is .... you guess it "The Margarita" and it is very good. Prices are very reasonable and the service is usually excellent. All in all a great place to dine.
Have had lunch here on several occasions and have never been disappointed. Today's selection was the Steak Caesar Salad ... Excellent! Good friendly service 😊. I'll be back.
How have I not left a review on this gem before?
This is definitely the best and most authentic Mexican food you'll find in town.
I'm a regular consumer of any and all of their a la carte tacos and their papusas.
The seafood chimichanga is fried perfectly and very flavorful.
I prefer more traditional tamales that aren't so greasy, but the ones here are as good as any you'll find locally.
Service is always spot on and prompt.
And you can't beat the price.
La Pagua is a good Mexican option in Lafayette. Not dive-like or seedy, and some very good food. The main drawback is that La Pagua is popular, so during peak times you will wait quite a while to be seated. The stand out dish on the La Pagua menu is their mole. Rich and truly the best I've had anywhere. Strange that I never see anyone else eating the mole there. Oh well, more for me :) Their drinks are excellent too although more expensive than elsewhere. Overall a great experience and the service is excellent.
Our meal was good overall but there was room for improvement. The chips came warm and the salsa was just the right of spicy. We all had lunch specials. My duo of enchiladas one beef and one chicken were a mixed bag. Now they came out hot - burn your mouth hot. The beef was much better than the chicken. The chicken was on the dry side
I brought the family here on a co-workers recommendation and he was right on the money. It's nice to have choices other than tex-mex. The taco Al pastor is the best I've had since I first tried them from a street vender in Ciudad del Carmen, Mexico. As good as they were, the barbacoa taco and cochinita taco were even better. I have never found authentic Mexican food that my wife likes until now. We will be back!
Went around 12 on a Sunday, seated right away, server very personable, and the food was tasty. Authentic Mexican food! I'd choose this place over any other Mexican in Lafayette.
Pork and Cheese Pupusa. In-freakin-credible!!
We have been looking for a good Mexican restaurant since we moved to lafayette and we Found it!!! Very good, great and friendly service.
Always an authentic Mexican dish here. Beef burritos are my goto with that amazing enchilada sauce!
Food was Great and authentic. The wait time for food was long but worth it. The portions were very big! My party of 3 did the meal deal for 2 and we still had food left over. Very reasonable prices and staff was fast. The roasted whole onions were amazing🤩
Great food and their Menudo is second to none in this area. Chips and Salsa are very good as well. Price is a little high in my opinion but all in all if you have a little extra money and want great Menudo, then this is your place to go. Aside from the Menudo, the tacos are very good as well.
Food was great. Our Server(Frances) was super sweet with answering our questions and she was also very attentive. We had a great first visit.
There's a wide variety of choices. I like the tacos here. If Tex Mex is your jam they have a lot of that here too. It wasn't crowded and service was good.
Atmosphere was nice. Friendly staff. Prices could be a little lower to compete with other area Mexican restaurants. We enjoyed our food.
La Pagua for chips and salsa like all you can crunch! Wonderful food and an excellent staff!
Overall good place. Price is a little high in my opinion and atmosphere could be a little better but definitely a place to try if you have the time.
I absolutely love this spot. Service is quick, fast, and polite. As usual the food is amazing. The place just feels clean when you walk in and sit down. Highly recommend to everyone.
Amazing food, fun atmosphere, and they made accommodations for my low carb diet. Great overall experience!!
