Any recommendation on a good Mexican food place?
Don Tomas...not fancy at all...but they don't speak English in the back and half the clientele isn't much better. It's good. Get the messican tacos and hit the self serve salsa bar.

Up 165 the El Azteca place across from Brookshire's does very good authentic style tacos. got the cabeza last week. Very good. The rest of their offerings are average, except for the molcajete bowl, which is the best dish offered.

The only restaurant in Monroe that used to be worth a damn was river and rail, and the locals ran that off because they'd rather eat at applebees.
Please. That place could have made a killing but they couldn't cook worth a shite. Every meal I ever got from there was mediocre at best. Applebee's has to be better than the shite that they served.
Seriously are you trolling?

Monroe sucks pretty hard when it comes to eating out, especially on a Sunday.
Rawz may be open. Very good sushi at a pretty good $.

I really wasn't. Honestly, I loved it more for the cocktails and tequila selection...especially when I got in good with the bartender and he let me sample the exotic shite, but the special I ordered were always pretty solid.

You're shitting on Monroe, and you live in Shreveport.

Compared to what, New Orleans? Yes it does. Compared to similar sized cities it holds its own quite well. Monroe is at the top of the state for restaurants per capita and has a offers a slew of non-chain places. And I don't know what towns yall go to that have a plethora of resturants open on a Sunday night, but I have never encountered them. Shreveport, Ruston? Lmao

Man.... and I thought we had made peace after the Jonnies pizza treaty on page 3 of this thread. But yes...yes I am. I am from Nola originally and moved to Shreveport after Monroe. Monroe is a stifling hell hole for anyone under the age of 50 (why I stated multiple times that my dislike for it was preference). There is hardly anything going on. There is the rivermarket which was ok...then declined to a few middle aged moms selling boutique shirts. They used to have an a cocktail bar which was minimal, but it was a nice day and excuse to relax w a drink on the Ouchita. It was gone one day and I asked where it was and got fussed at by an event manager who scolded me for wanting to get drunk during the day. There are a few downtown events once every few months, but usually poorly attended or expensive and poorly run. The 4th of July pub crawl is fun, live oaks does a really good job pulling in solid acts for the size city Monroe it, but that's really it. As I genuinely said with the restaurants...if I'm missing something please let me know. And who knows...maybe more has happened since I've been gone, but I doubt that.
Compare that to Shreveport which has free festivals/outdoor concerts or events of some kind almost every weekend, 3 thriving breweries, a couple of pretty entertaining minor league sports teams, solid concerts coming through on a regular basis, casinos, and a much more solid downtown/waterfront area.
TL:DR....Monroe is suck if you are young. Wonderful if you are an old baptist.

Literally the only restaurant in Shreveport I eat at that closes on Sunday is one of my go to Chinese delivery places. The only other place I've been to that closes most restaurants on Sunday is some small town I once traveled to in Mississippi...I'm tellin ya man.. it's not the norm.

Well we've already established you're borderline retarded. So, yea whatever you say Corky.
