Taco Boudreaux, Baton Rouge of course

It sits over on Sherwood Forest, a minute or so (depending upon traffic) from I-12.    We've passed by it several dozens times already.   It's the art Truck out in the weed filled front that always catches my attention,

The building has that authentic Mexican flair ... the colors right in line and the spirit warm and cheerful, but the writings - Cajun all the way.  

When Beau suggested we go to lunch and asked where I might like to go - it came right out.   Let's try Taco Boudreaux ... you know, that place up the road with the beat up art truck out front. 

The inside decor doesn't come anywhere near as festive ... it's more yard sale renditions of hispanic and cajun, along with some beer signs, of course.  But the menu, has a whole lot of interesting possibilities.   Like, how many places do you find Blackened Alligator Quesidillas or a Carne Asada Po-Boy?   We went deliciously mainframe.   I ordered a burrito type plate with tea and Beau went the Burger and Beer route.

My lunch was quite good.  Everything was seasoned, which is typically not the case with mexican food in this section of the country.  The fusion of cajun was a definite plus.  The jalapenos I requested were bottled, which was a surprise.  Everything was good - on a scale of 0 - 10, I'd give it a solid 7.   Not so incredible that I need to go back next week, but certainly a return visit will be warranted.    The only thing that seemed out of whack with the restaurant was the music - primarily 1950s and 1960s - neither cajun or hispanic.  Who knows whats up with that?  

So, I'd say, give it a try should you happen to be passing by.   You won't miss it.   Just look for that great truck in the front.
