Being from Miami and of Latin descent, it is always exciting when a new Latin restaurant opens its doors in our community. Located on Bertrand in Lafayette, Patacon offers not so much full meals but concentrates on its namesake the "Patacon" sandwich. Shredded beef or chicken with lettuce, tomato, avocado and tartar sauce on a bun made from a plantain banana. How they take a banana and make it into an instrument that holds delicious ingredients is beyond me. They also offer Venezuelan meat pies. beef, chicken or crawfish. We ordered a couple of different types. My wife and I were supposed to share but my crawfish pie was so good, I ate it myself without sharing. Stuffed arepas and sweet corn pancakes are also specialty. For dessert, the owner of Fiesta cakes relocated her business from its Johnston Street location and now shares space in the restaurant. They offer flan, tres leches, cupcakes and specialty cakes. The cakes and goodies really are delicious. We wish them much success in their new business. I would like to keep on eating their food for a long, long time. For a great experience and good food, it's worth a try.
