Kitchenary

Hello ladies and gentlemen hope you are having a great day. I am back in Louisiana after two months away. Yes! The posts you saw in June and May were old posts. But this one is fresh, a cool place I went last week, on Friday.

My mom suggested to go to a place called The kitchenary Cafe. When we entered I was kind of confuse because it was a store, but then I saw a small restaurant inside. It is located at 456 Heymann Blvd., Lafayette, LA 70593, and you have to bring your kids to try the food there.

They don’t have lemonade, so I decided to have water and red beans and rice with cornbread. They gave me my food very quick. I first took a bite of the corn bread and instantly loved it because it incorporated cheese and it was soft and tasty. Then I tried the red beans and rice and it was delicious, I just wished it had more spice. Overall I liked the place and would go there again. I give this place a 4.5 starts. That’s that ladies and gentlemen hope you are enjoying your summer.

The Kritic says:

Shrimp and pastrami carbonara. Mom liked it, but I tasted it at home and thought it was okay. Not better than the red beans and rice.

The side salad. My mom tasted it and said it was delicious.

Getting ready to destroy this red beans and rice. Check that cornbread.

Panda Express

Hello ladies and gentlemen hope you are having a great day. Me and my friend went out to eat at a glorious place… Panda Express. That’s located at 4531 Ambassador Caffery Pkwy, Lafayette, LA 70508 and it is delicious! You can pick what you want so I ate a bunch of chicken. I absolutely loved them all, but some were full of onions and the onions in the noodles overpowers it. But hey, the chicken was so good I wanted more. I give this place 4.0 starts, it is quick and it hits the spot. That’s that ladies and gentlemen have a great day.

Papa Loca

Hello ladies and gentlemen. Hope you are having a great day. I went to a place called La Papa Loca. It is a very small place but clean, it stays on 3701 Cameron St, Lafayette, LA 70506. Here is the thing, they could fix their parking space, but until then let’s focus on the food.

Best tacos I ate in town. You read it right. Best tacos in Lafayette, Louisiana. I got quesadillas that were different than all the others I’ve eaten, and I also got a beef taco. The quesadilla had shredded chicken and of course melted cheese but, the chicken overtook the cheese though. The quesadilla tortilla was way better than the tortilla of the beef taco. But guys, the meat of the beef taco was something else. The beef of the taco was outstanding it was perfect I suggest you put lime on the beef, but the tortilla could have been better.

What made me so happy was they had passion fruit juice. I give this place a 3.0. That’s that ladies and gentlemen hope you have a great day.

The Kritic Says:

3.0 Starts
- The place is very small and when is packed is not very comfortable, take the food to go.

- Service takes time.
- They don’t have any activities for kids.
- Did I mentioned that the food is good? Those tacos!!!!!

Did not like the plantains. I don’t like cream on my plantain.

You must try these juices.

Passion fruit, so good.

Beef taco…don’t say I didn’t tell you so.

Royal Curry

Hello ladies and gentlemen hope you are having a great day. I think everyone reading this knows about Masala, but what about Royal Curry? Royal Curry is located at 4510 Ambassador Caffery Pkwy Suite- J, Lafayette, LA 70508 and is my new Indian restaurant in town.

Their lemonade was bitter but I put some sugar and it tasted great. I had butter chicken, and garlic naan. My friend Rohan showed me how to eat naan with the butter chicken. You have to take a piece of the naan then fold it in half and scoop the sauce of the butter chicken and enjoy it.

The butter chicken was spicy but you can have mild. Oh my gosh that chicken was a chicken I haven’t had in a long time. The naan and the garlic bread together mixed gives you a great taste. I give this place a 4.5. That’s that ladies and gentlemen have a great day.

The Kritic Says:

4.5 Starts

- The food was delicious.

Cedar Grocery and Much More

Hello ladies and gentleman, Kritic here, enjoying my vacation and just passing by to let you know about a cool spot in Lafayette, Louisiana. It’s called Cedar Deli and Grocery, but it has way more than grocery. It has amazing food you can eat there and things you can buy to bring home. It’s located downtown on 1115 Jefferson St, Lafayette, LA 70501.

We made a video about it and I give you a little look at the behind the scenes pictures. You must go there and try the lamb sandwich, they also have baklava, and hummus like you never tasted before. The service is amazing, I love the owner. He is very nice and guys he draws very well.

K.O.K Wings & Things

Hello ladies and gentlemen hope you are having a great day!

So I went to a place called K.O.K Wings & Things. Let me just say this, it was so good, I ate everything on their menu, the shrimp, the fish, the chicken, the fries, and okay kay kay their crawfish too. You can tell already I had the biggest belly there. No kidding I looked like I was pregnant. In the pictures I sucked my belly in.

Everything was fried and I like every single one of them. The spices were outstanding but some people may not like it, but I like spicy so I say try it. Their fries had ranch and barbecue on them. Surprisingly It was tasty.

But then there was the one and only watering, juicy, addicting … CRAWFISH. They have a little small stand outside called K.O.K. Crawfish & Things. They don’t have mild or medium, they have spicy crawfish but it was so so so good. The corn… the corn…I dare you to eat it and the potatoes. I give this place a spicy 5.0. That’s that ladies and gentlemen have a great day and go check K. O. K right by UL Lafayette on 405 E University Ave, Lafayette, LA 70503.

Light-ening Food

Hello ladies and gents hope you are having a great day. Today I want to talk about one of my favorite places in Lafayette, Louisiana – Zeus. I go there so many times that I can’t believe I did not talk about them here.

So I went to Zeus, they have many locations, but I like the one on Johnston Street because you are in and out and the people are very nice. As usual, I got hummus and then chicken shawarma. For my drink I got lemonade. The hummus sometimes has too much oil but I always like the chicken shawarma.

Sometimes I also get the chicken tenders, they are crunchy just the way I like it. My mom always gets tabouli and chicken or lamb kebab. She also likes baklava and tiramisu, but I stick with the hummus and the chicken sawarma.

This is it ladies and gents, I give Zeus 4 starts in my 📚📖, well happy holidays.

The Kritic says:

Aztecan American

Hello ladies and gentleman, Kritic here, with another review. This time, on another assignment for EatLafayette. I went to checkout Aztecas Mexican Cuisine located at 3535 Ambassador Caffery Pkwy, Lafayette, LA 70503.

The place looks cool. It has some cacti and it looks like a Mexican cantina. It was a relax vibe, but when I thought of Aztecas, I thought Aztec culture and history because i was studying it in school. I thought the place would have more pictures of temples, the big Aztec calendar and other artifacts. I think they should add more stuff about that. But lets talk about the food.

I ordered the beef and chicken chimichangas, the portion was so big and delicious. I also tasted my Mom’s chicken fajita and I loved it. The drinks were okay, the service was nice and they had stuff for my sister to so I give this place a 4. That’s that ladies and gentlemen.

The Kritic says:

4 starts:
- Cool decoration, but not the Aztec look that I expected. It was more a mix of American and Mexican.
- The food was also a mix of American and Mexican and it was absolutely delicious. Big and tasty portions.
- The prices were okay, but my food was complementary because I was on assignment for EatLafayette.
- Service was excellent.
- It’s a nice spot to bring your family and enjoy good times.
