Eat Acadiana: Looking for suggestions

[CajunAmos]

Close enough to Broussard. I'm between Kaliste Saloom and Verot

I've purchased the fried catfish basket at Fiery Crab 4-5 times and it's priced reasonably and very good. Has six good size pieces of catfish and comes with a couple of flavor of fries or sweet potato fries. I usually make a couple of meals out of it. Have them add some of their spicy mayo as it's great for dipping. I picked it up to go last time but I think they use delivery services as well. I've had folks tell me they weren't crazy about the boiled items but I haven't tried it myself. I think they season on the outside which has never been a favorite of mine.

Gonna get Aztecas tonight. Any recommendations on entrees besides fajitas?

Wife likes the enchiladas, but when we go I usually get the Acapulco platter which comes with a cheese chili rellenos, a chicken enchilada, a tamale, and a beef taco with with rice and beans. I also really like their salsa. I usually eat so much of the chips and salsa while waiting on the meal I wind up taking home half my meal. I will say the relleno is much better while still hot from the kitchen rather than reheated.

We’ve gotten from Crawfix several times this season. Fairly priced and seasoned well. They were small at the beginning of the season but are good sized now.

On that note, before the shutdown, we tried Mo Crawfish in Mowata. They’re my new favorite.

We ordered Aztecas tonight. Eating a chimichanga and wife is eating some kind of seafood burrito, both great. Didn’t see this post until after, but will order again and try that out, thanks.

Went pick up crawfish time off ridge earlier this evening. They are cleaning up over there. Line doubled up in parking lot and down ridge. Crawfish were pretty good for the wait

I think Fiery Crab is shut down. Passed by there Saturday and there is a for lease sign in front of the building.

That sign has been up for a while. They’re not using the entire building is my understanding

You are correct, Fiery Crab is still open, the back half of the building is for Lease, it is a separate business.

Guys, I highly recommend a place called Le Crepe Bistro. It is in Parc du Lafayette opposite the River Run entrance off of Kaliste.

This place is great, they do both sweet and savory Crepes. They have an Acadian (crawfish etoufee Crepe) as well as a Cajun (boudin Crepe) that are fantastic.

Other places that we have been supporting are:

Chris Po-Boys
Judice Inn
Dax's on Verot
Johnson Boucaniere
Market Eatz
Acadiana Po Boy -- on Verot
T-Coons
Dwights

Also remember this, please do as much to support Stine's Lumber and Doug Ashy rather than Home Depot and Lowes during these times. Home Depot and Lowe's will get their business, but Stine's has everything Home Depot has and they are a local business. Doug Ashy has all of your building Supply needs for major projects.

My recommendation is if you are looking for Lumber you can use Doug Ashy or Stines, if you are looking for Lawn care or other things Stines would be the better option. Stines is much more of a retail, walkin business as Doug Ashy is more of a true home town lumber yard. The building supply business is still considered essential and because of that these businesses are staying open, but as I drive around town I see tons of people at Home Depot and Lowes and just wish they would support their local Home Center's rather than establishments like Depot and Lowes.
