Coyote Blues in Lake Charles to close

Can it take Lake Charles with it?

Losing a solid Mexican resturaunt

If there is any type of restaurant that can take the hit, it's Mexican. By far the highest per capita restaurant in the region.

Mexican restaurants in LC seem to have high turnover. Some have stayed open for a while but the new ones that open cant seem to stay open for more than 10 years

LC has surprisingly poor options for Mexican. People there love El Tapatio but it's dog shite. Really the best place there is that little shithole taco store in the Exxon on Broad Street. Really good tacos.

I live nearby, but never go, for the simple reason the food is terrible

This is what did them in here in Lafayette too. Nothing special about the food but costing roughly $20 / person for meal and drink was too much.

Never ate at the one in Lake Charles but the one here in Baton Rouge was really not very good. I think it started off ok but it really fell off towards the end there. Not surprised at all that it ended up closing.

The one is Lafayette closed recently too. I wonder if this was a corporate decision regarding the regi

Rumor is, that PF Changs is going to take their place.

That PF Chang to Laffy rumor has been afloat for many years.

You got new intel?

There is a guy who runs a facebook page called Developing Lafayette. He covers new restaurants opening, pretty much has inside knowledge on stuff. Well he posted something that was hearsay, but could be true. A waitress at Olive Garden (next door to CB building) claimed that PF Changs was moving in. Take that with a grain of salt, but it could be true. He admits there is no evidence, and it's just a rumor. Maybe the waitress knows since they are next door... Who knows...

Doesn’t LC have a Casa Ole?
