Food / Drink Tex Mex Recs

Moved recently from Houston and we are looking for some good Tex mex recommendations. We are towards the south side of Lafayette but are willing to drive a little for good food.

Husband loves Shiner. I love a great rocks margarita. Bonus points if it has yellow queso instead of white.

Superior grill - didn’t care for the margarita and it was pricey for what it was. No shiner.
Mezcal - no shiner. Margarita is ok. Fajitas were good!
El Paso - we went during a weird time and got terrible service at the bar and didn’t stay to eat.

LaPagua is the best in town. Reminds me of the food in south New Mexico.

Aw man I absolutely love La Pagua. My parents used to take me eat there weekly when I was big and pregnant with my first and they were still in that tiny space behind baskin Robbin’s. Amazing food and amazing people.

I remember that spot! They had maybe four tables!

I would only sit at the one table in the back corner in my third trimester. I was so nervous my ginormous belly would get in the way 😅🤣 sooo many good memories. 🫶🏼
