Excellent food, fun cocktails, and great service! I got the enchiladas and there was fresh avocado slices, fresh cilantro, and pico! Full of flavor! Reminded me of a restaurant I went to in Houston! Also had a lovely cocktail that looked and tasted wonderful! Highly recommend! Reasonable prices! Excellent flavors!

Came in on our way back home to Texas. Menu has many options but the food just wasn’t all there as far as taste. I ordered the Bandera Dominican Republic and my spouse had the Pollo con Tajadqs. The shredded beef was very tasty but the rice was dry and hard. Beans needed more flavor. Now the vanilla custard or flan was very rich and tasty. If you live close by stop by.

While the food type isn’t my personal preference, everything was hot, fresh and seasoned well. Good service and nice building. Kind of slow for how (not) busy it was, but not bad.

The environment? Blazing masks on the wall, the seats clean, and Salsa del Gran Combo or Fania All Stars is heard on the radio - the water ehhh a little salty but it doesn't matter - the ripe ones - sweet, the President - cold, the clothes old - juicy and Cubaó-like, the cassava stuffed chikki but perfect and hot, and the portions - so filling! If you are in Lake Charles for any reason- don't go anywhere else for Caribbean food!

The food was amazing if you were willing to dry foods from different cultures. He uses a lot of plantains in his dishes, which I like. His Mojitos are amazing as well.

Do not leave your wallet or money unattended! My big mistake! Now I cannot get my car repaired after losing a few thousand out of my cash I stupidly left behind. I should have known right away when I had to go retrieve the envelope from the staff all looking like a deer caught in the headlights. I was the only customer there in that seat so there was no question who's it was. I should have counted it right away but at the moment I was greatful to get back any. My car is all I have for a home. I just lost my home from a tornado. It was no great surprise when I did count it money was missing but I wasn't expecting nearly half to be gone. It zapped the life out of me when I counted. I had just cashed an insurance check that is everything I have to live with and repair vehicle. I am disabled and get nothing. I hope everyone enjoys themselves with my money.

First time here and the Mojito was very good but the food and the service was even better. (I appologize for not getting the barkeeps name) I hate to give this review for selfish reasons. I know that the more people who know about this is a hidden gem the become harder it will be to get into. I appreciate the hospitality, the exceptional food and the atmosphere. Thanks again.

Ordered the Vaca Frita with Cuban Rice and Mofungo. Had no idea what the Mofungo was, but the waitress was really helpful and explained it well! Everything was great and reminded me as if I was in a little Soda on the side of the road in Costa Rica again!

This was my first time here, so I had no idea what to order.....I was recommended the bandeja paisa by Marcos, it was the best dish for a variety of meats. The taste was out of this world. When I come back to lake charles...I'll definitely be back to get this authentic latin food. Ohh and I can't forget about the passion fruit cheese cake and the Tres Leche Cake....both items are made in house like everything else on the menu.

One of the best secrets in LC! 337 has the most amazing Latin/Caribbean based dishes one can find. I've yet to try anything on the menu that wasn't "roll your eyes" good. The staff is always friendly & helpful. The facilities & parking are limited but clean & cheerful. If looking for something to eat just a bit off the "same ol, same ol" do yourself a favor and pay more attention as you drive along Kirkman.

I'm very happy with the flavors, first time here. We order empanadas (the best are beef) plus spicy sauce. Bandeja paisa (my favorite of all), churrasco plate (meat was requested medium wear and was chewy great greasesoning just not my favorite and $$$), fried tilapia serve with rice, tomatoes wedges and lettuce (friend was very pleased) and cabrito (nice tender, good flavor in a red sauce 😋 small portion , can't have all the glory) a to die for fresh berries mojito and tres leches(delicious also a very small portion and $$$) The place is pretty small almost crowded.

Very cool place with a great atmosphere. The outdoor seating space is extremely cool and quite welcoming. The food is amazing and authentic. The staff is super friendly and makes you feel like a longtime friend. I had the blondie arepa, chicken and beef empanadas, puerto rican rice and they were all delicious. I also got the 3 leches cake for dessert but I’m so stuffed that I have to wait to eat it. I’m sure it will be just as delicious. I will definitely be back as their menu is quite extensive and I’ll have to try some of the other items. The prices are also quite reasonable (not cheap) for the quality and portions you receive. I already want to go back and try other items on their menu!

Area 337 is probably, hands down, the best restaurant in Lake Charles. Every time I go in, I’m addressed by my name and always get a hug from the owner.

My first visit here was yesterday at lunch and oh my goodness, this place is fantastic. The parking lot is off the shoulder of the road so we were having a hard time parking. One of the workers came out and helped us, motioning us to pull forward. It was very helpful! As soon as we came in we were greeted by the same man. He was so welcoming, asked me how I was doing and shook my hand, then shook my boyfriends hand. He was telling us as we were walking to the table that the plates will be filled with color :) he pulled out our chairs to seat and left us to look at the menu. We ordered the grilled mozzarella appetizer. It was GREAT. I ordered the Pollo con tajadas for my meal and it was so delicious. The chicken was crispy and not at all greasy, just perfectly fried and clean. The fried green Bananas were specular and tasted so refreshing. I loved it. This one visit has this restaurant at the top of my favorite lists. The guy from earlier came in and checked in on us and asked about the food. I'm pretty sure he was either the cook or the owner, or both! Our waitress was a really nice lady who's recommendations were great when we weren't sure on what to order. I 100% recommend this place, I will be there again. The food is great and very tasty.
