Authentic Venezuelan flavors in the heart of Lafayette - where twice-fried plantains replace the bread and every bite tells a story.
At Patacon Latin Cuisine, we bring the vibrant, soulful flavors of Venezuela to Lafayette, Louisiana. Our kitchen is a love letter to the traditions we grew up with - recipes passed through generations, ingredients prepared with care, and that unmistakable warmth of a Venezuelan family table.
Our signature patacones are crafted from green plantains, sliced thick and twice-fried to golden perfection, then layered with your choice of tender shredded beef, savory chicken, or succulent pork. Topped with white cheese, fresh avocado, crisp lettuce, ripe tomatoes, and our legendary house green sauce, each bite is a celebration of flavor and texture you simply won't find anywhere else in Acadiana.
From the classic Pabellon Criollo - Venezuela's beloved national dish of rice, black beans, shredded beef, and sweet plantains - to our crispy Tequeños and golden Pastelitos, every item on our menu is made fresh with authentic ingredients and boundless passion. Come experience the bold, unforgettable taste of Venezuela.

Our most loved dishes, straight from the heart of our kitchen
The Patacon Chicken is what I get every single time I eat here. It is amazing! I love both sauces. The red is a little spicy for me so I always tone it down with extra green sauce. I bought the Bottled Sauce this time and it was a great deal! If you happen to go in person, the customer service is great and everyone is so kind.
Surprised at how delicious everything was! Tequeños guava was not what I was expecting but they're a delicious pastry, almost like fruity cheesecake. I wasn't sure what to expect with the patacon either so I just got the one with avocado and cheese. It was DELICIOUS. The texture is so satisfying. Can't wait to try something new next time!
I 100% recommend all the empanadas here, they are so delicious especially paired with the green sauce! I would especially suggest the pabellon empanada as well as the shredded beef and cheese.
