Festival Tacos DeRidder: Authentic Mexican & Seafood Grill #2 - (Near DeRidder, LA)

Ed Virtue So glad I found this spot on the river and above Cotton. Cool, open air patio/bar overlooking the Ouachita River. Inside high top seating with a vintage dive-bar feel. Love that there always seems to be a bar seat on the rail when I come in, and friendly and attentive waitstaff. The food, flavor and presentation, is very good, its a limited but varied menu, and I havent had anything that wasnt tasty. Well worth a stop.

cindy watford We were on vacation in lake charles and stopped here for lunch. Very much enjoyed it. Quiet at the bar, if course it was day time during the week. The shrimp basket was huge! The hamburger with egg looked amazing and husband did it was! Great drinks

Lehua Okalani Pat’s of Henderson. I’ve been a fan since I was a girl. NOLA born but living out of state. Mama brought me home to Louisiana. I was amazed. I still am. THIS Pat’s brings a bit of New Orleans glamor to SW Louisiana. And the food hasn’t changed a bit. It’s still old South Louisiana school delicious. Something for everyone seafood, salads, chicken, steaks. Wine and drinks list is extensive and very well thought out. The service is stellar. James took care of me tonight, the most attentive service I’ve had in a long time. If you’re in Lake Charles check them out. You’ll be glad you did. I promise. And ask for an off the menu, root beer float. You’ll get it. With a smile.

Christopher Wright This spot is perfect for a casual lunch stop. I ordered the lunch special and it was both flavorful and served promptly. The meal left a great impression and I am looking forward to coming back for another visit.

Kelsi Mayeux Got a baked potato with fried shrimp for dine in and it was delicious! I had to get a to-go box it was so huge. Staff was super nice and the manager was even helping in the dining room. Great atmosphere all around and delicious food.

Brandon Man, we love the atmosphere! The servers were awesome (Sky, you’re killin’ it, lady!), and of course that famous quesadilla burger was off the chain! Hey Shane, the people want a food challenge! Literally can’t wait to revisit.
