Baton Rouge Perkins Rowe

South Baton Rouge's most vibrant dining destination — where hand-crafted Mexican flavors, theatrical cocktails, and a jaw-dropping interior come together at the heart of Perkins Rowe

Right in the Heart of Perkins Rowe

Tucked inside Baton Rouge's most beloved open-air lifestyle center — minutes from the Mall of Louisiana — we're the perfect pause between a day of shopping and a night worth remembering.

A Space That Stops You Cold

From the flowering wisteria canopy overhead to the sun-drenched patio outside, our Perkins Rowe buildout is one-of-a-kind. Guests call it 'beautiful,' 'really cool,' and 'unlike anything in Baton Rouge' — and we have to agree.

Brunch, Birthdays, and Beyond

Whether you're toasting a birthday or diving into birria tacos on a random Tuesday, every visit feels like an occasion. The food is extraordinary, the drinks are 10/10, and the energy is contagious.

The Trompo al Pastor

Seasoned meat stacked on a traditional spit, carved to order and folded into a fresh tortilla — this is the dish that started it all.

Born Bold, Built to Celebrate

In 2020, Danny Cruz and Vilexis Salas launched Tacos del Cartel as a culinary love letter to Mexico's vibrant streets and New Orleans' soulful energy — and the audacity to open a restaurant when the world stood still.

Great buildout and food here. Good vibe. We ordered a sushi roll as an appetiser – can’t remember which one but really good – I think a shrimp tempura base? Chips and salsa just right. Super service and really nice venue.

Food was presented great and was decent! Service was extremely fast considering our large party size. Emma checked on our table very consistently and made sure we had everything we needed. Highly recommend!

Angel was our waitress and she was such a sweetheart. Food presentation was absolutely gorgeous and I absolutely love the decor here.
