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.
