La Espuela Mexican Restaurant

Service was great, everyone was super friendly. Music was super traditional and it was an all together great experience. The food tasted great and I go massive portions. I would definitely recommend.

The food is really good. Everything is fresh and served hot. The service was great as well. The restaurant is nice and clean. It's definitely worth a trip to Saint Martinville to check it out.

.UPDATELA ESPUELAThis is a surprisingly great Mexican Restaurant, unexpected in a small Cajun Town.Having lived ON the Southern Border, South & West Texas, plus having traveled extensively across Mexico; we're pretty familiar with Mexican Norteno, Tex-Mex, & Tampico-style foods.Although the owners and most workers are direct from the Acupulco part of Pacific Mexico, the foods served here are similar to our familiar Norteno & Tex-Mex specialties.Cooking, spices, etc. are very authentic; not the usual Mexican Restaurant fare. Quality is excellent for genre, area, and prices.Favorites are: Carne Asada (similar to "Tampiqueno" w/o the sliced peppers), carnitas de puerco "estilo-dorito", & queso enchiladas.We absolutely love this place, eat here weekly, & recommend. As my Mexican-American Wife is one of our very few local native Spanish-speakers, the workers seem to love her, too. There is no equal to this place anywhere nearby.Plenty parking, but the big trees were recently cut-own, every one of them. . . . . Rick, .

I seriously think this place is going to be here for the long run!!! It is the only Mexican restaurant in the ville and honestly I believe I would drive from any city to get it. My mouth is watering as I type these words! I ordered the pina rodriguez. This dish is basically a fresh open pineapple covered in grilled vegetables and meat. The gravy and cheese makes this dish even more spectacular. It comes with alot of food considering you also get a portion of rice and beans on the side. I am ready to try out a margarita with another meal choice very soon!

The best Mexican food around. The Molcajete came out piping hot and smelled delicious. Everything was seasoned perfectly. The grilled cactus, chicken breast, shrimp and ribeye was on top of grilled onions, bell pepper and topped with cheese. Served with a plate of rice, retried beans and guacamole and pico. Everything had a great char and seasoned really well. And the margaritas are 2 for 1 and they aren't shy with the alcohol.

Great meal with great service. Will certainly go back again soon. Had the fajitas which were fantastic.

This New Mexican restaurant in St. Martinville is pretty good. I had the Enchilada Verdes with shredded chicken and a side of dice jalapeños. My friend had pollo y Camarones, which was a split chicken breast and shrimp with a cream sauce. The service was good. The restaurant was packed, so it was loud. My friend said she hadn't been to a restaurant so loud before. I thought a packed house with lots of folks enjoying themselves. Because of this, the noise didn't bother me. If your looking for good Tex mex with a fairly expanded menu, you should try this. They do have street tacos as well.

Food was really fresh and good. The service was fast and no mistakes. The ambiance needs a little work but the atmosphere was family friendly and the place was clean. I felt it was just as good as most all Mexican restaurants in Houston. They have a long way to go to match Pappasito's ambiance but i finally found a favorite close to home. Thank you Isabelle! Your mindset on service rocks! We will be back!

As I understand, it is under new ownership. Visited twice, both experiences were great! The food, drinks, service, and atmosphere were incredible! I plan to make this place one of my regulars.

The best mexican food in St. Martin Parish. I ordered some steak tacos on Waitr and got $5 off using code Local5!
