Opelousas Point Supermarket

One of my guilty pleasures.
Their fried rice is great, please don’t be turned off but the unusual pink color. They serve a variety of corner store fare (wings, fried shrimp, mystery meat kabobs, mystery meat egg rolls, etc).
They are reasonably priced but the prices aren’t posted anywhere. Hot food orders are taken in the back of the store, and you can either order a combo plate (a previously mentioned «entrée» plus rice) or my personal favorite, just fried rice. Great drink selection (read: they have every flavor of Big Shot and Arizona).
Overall, it’s just a regular corner store, but in the virtual food desert that is Algiers Point, their fried rice is a welcome addition.
TIP: The closer it gets to closing (around 4:30−5) they only serve combo plates. Also, the store gets pretty crowded around the time school dismisses and around the lunch hour (12 — 1).

I hate cash only businesses! Gosh darn it… no one carries cash anymore! You prevent muggings and everything not having cash on you! Frickin’ not wanting to report all your assets to the government people! Geesh! My rant is done.
I was told that I needed to try this place because the #7 plate was a winner. Curious to know what a #7 was, I ventured to the establishment with my unofficial tour guide. This is not a restaurant. This is a typical New Orleans corner store. This is a clean hole in the wall place that serves general grocery items, but also has a kitchen in the back. This place is owned by some Asian people, so I did have high expectations for their stuff. I was given a plate that had some decent weight, and was brought back to a domicile to eat my goods.
Plate opened, and what is before me? Golden, sizable wings and shrimp fried rice that both had a pleasant aroma. This could be an optical illusion, so I must further investigate. Tasting time… and you know what? This plate does not disappoint. Plenty of food for little amounts of money, no problem for me what so ever! They charge you $ 5 for about a half of dozen, plump, tasty wings, and a huge scoop of shrimp fried rice seasoned just right. You truly can beat that deal.
I am glad my tour guide brought me to this place because it is well worth your time to visit this place. Parking may be a chore because this is a corner store. Besides that, bring your cash, get your food and enjoy. Only time will tell if I will give this place a 5^th star. There are other items on the menu, but I may need a few more #7 plates before I give them a shot!
