La Michoacana in Shreveport


Referred to as "Sketchy Taco" by students in Shreveport. You can google "sketchy taco Shreveport" and it will come up. LOVE this place.

I don't do tripe. Perhaps it can be good, but my one try was some of the worst "food" I ever put in my mouth.



I am with you. The texture is so bizarre

Find the heavy Hispanic or Asian populated areas and hit some authentic spots


There are much better places in the country than Louisiana for authentic Mexican and Asian dishes.

There's gotta be a place in Cajun country that has weird meats

Yeah I would think some place would be cooling coon, nutria, or possum.

Try the tripe at Primitivo. Not a huge tripe person either due to texture, but it is really good. They really nail it.

I guess no one liked it because when I ordered it later and asked to cut the pork blood, they said they no longer included it.


The last time I had Bun Bo Hue at Danh's Garden on Youree it had the blood cake. They may have eliminated it since then as it was a while ago. I can take it or leave it, though.

The tripe at Primitivo is outstanding. I am fairly certain it is a holdover from a mano. Or a very close proximity to it, but man is it good.

A lot of places serve some kind of weird bug critter. They boil them first. I think they're aquatic. They're all bright red and gross-looking.

Those coonasses must have been some hungry people to figure out you could eat that.


Not really. Alot of the people in S. Louisiana made their way from the area that is now Nova Scotia and Norther Maine. People up there seem to eat a larger version of the same critter you are referencing. I suspect the first cajuns and others were thrilled when they found an abundance of tiny lobsters down here
