Vazquez Restaurant

Went in with my boyfriend on july31st. I ordered an 8’in catfish poboy and my boyfriend ordered a 12’in ½ and ½ hor sausage and hamburger poboy. Both were absolutely delicious! The staff was very friendly! I would definitely recommend this place to family and friends and as a first time customer I can say I will MOST DEFINITELY BE BACK!

I ordered the black beans and rice which was so bland. The lady who served us said they had run out and had to make more. Really? Had to make more in 10 minutes? It tasted fresh out of the can so maybe that was what she meant. I won’t be back.

Great lunch spot in Covington. I typically don’t like fried food for lunch, but i get taken here by my boss often. The po-​boys are really good and the staff couldn’t be nicer. The fries are nothing special.

Vazquez restaurant rocks! Every time I travel back home to New Orleans, I have to go to Covington to eat some good home cooking. The food is absolutely delicious and I keep going back to try different items on the menu. You need to check it out for yourself. You will not be disappointed!

This restaurant serves daily specials consisting of good olé’ home cooking – simple and delicious foods we all grew up eating – and sadly don’t see a lot of anymore. I’m pretty sure they always serve red beans on Mondays…
My husband and I decided to try it 3 weeks ago at dinner. We found parking around back. Decided on the hamburger steak with lima beans and rice and a Cuban sandwich. My husband liked the Cuban sandwich a lot. It was all good, but I was most delighted with the lima beans. I was expecting a side of little green lima beans, probably doctored from a can, and a side of rice. No! These were the huge, white limas that require soaking ahead and cooking all day to turn into a creamy, delicately-​flavored, delicious, thick porridge that is then poured over a bed of rice. I love lima beans – and red beans and white beans, too – but just never make them anymore. These tasted very close to what I used to make, so made me feel warm and cozy with nostalgia.
Husband stopped by for take-​out last night on the way home from work. He chose shrimp creole for me and the hamburger steak with the side of lima’s for himself. He probably won’t do that again, because when he got home, I confiscated half of his limas and rice and took off! That shrmip creole looks very good, too, but it will have to wait.
We love rich, gourmet, and ethnic foods… just not every day. So we’re both very glad to have found Vazquez and plan to be regular customers.
