I don’t get the love for Superior. Maybe after a few Margarita’s anything taste good, but I have eaten in BR, New Orleans and Shreveport and it’s meh.

LOL! To each his own. I don't get the love for mediocre greasy food and dirty facilities. Everyone has their favorites.

I don't even know what the food taste like.

Shreveport has some for real sound coming through speakers that might have been on stage with AC/DC (think Poet's). NOLA is a serious Wednesday Night destination and nothing touches their Cinco de Mayo. BR, well, it's BR

Point being is that much of the discussion is being labeled "Mexican" is about equal to labeling it "American". Truth be told I'm not sure there is a good "interior" Mexican restaurant in Lafayette. TexMex sure, Central American yes, Fusion...no doubt.

Gotta love the food threads.

Not really a fan of Tex-Mex. I only go to the "Mexican" restaurants if the family wants so I can get a margarita. For real street tacos, Taqueria DF at the Grub Lot in Erath is really good. I'm ready for the trip to Houston for Cajuns baseball so I can head to my sketchy taco spots in the hood.

The Grub Lot in Erath has a nice set of options.

It will have 5 locations in Louisiana, all with the same owner. It’s EXACTLY what the definition a chain restaurant is. But to each their own.

Re: Drago's is closing

Is anyone mixing up chain model with franchisee model?

Franchise models usually start with a successful chain.

So, that place was destined to be a meat market.

Nice. First time ever hearing about it. Bet it was popular in between double headers.

A chain is typically corporate owned. Superior will be multiple locations with the SAME owner. Literally not a chain

Way too much over generalization here for any of this to be correct.

1. Every chain literally starts with one unit.
2. Every unit, chain or not is usually owned by an entity (corporation, LLC, partnership)
3. A chain is not generally corporate owned. Sonic is a chain. The units are owned some by the Franchisor and others by a number of franchisees. McDonalds is a chain. The units are owned some by the Franchisor and others by a number of franchisees. Pizza Hut is a chain. The units are owned some by the Franchisor and others by a number of franchisees.
Best Stop is on the way to becoming a chain.
3. Superior is now a set of units all ultimately owned by the same owner. That is subject to change as they continue to grow and add units. Superior literally is destined to become a chain.
