Pelico Farms Smokehouse & Mexican Grill

Smokehouse barbecue and Mexican cuisine come together under one roof at Pelico Farms Smokehouse & Mexican Grill, a multi-concept stop on Gerstner Memorial Blvd in Lake Charles. The combination is a deliberate one — the location pairs the smoky, slow-cooked traditions of a barbecue smokehouse with the bold flavors of a Mexican grill, operating under the Guac Amigos banner for its Mexican offerings. Beyond the food, the Google-assigned categories reflect just how much this spot covers: coffee, breakfast, convenience items, liquor, pizza, and grocery staples are all part of the mix, making it a practical destination for more than just a sit-down meal.

The Gerstner Memorial Blvd location is one of two area outposts, with a second location serving Westlake on Westwood Road. That dual presence points to a concept that has found a following across the greater Lake Charles corridor. With a 4.3-star rating across customer reviews, the combination of smoked meats, Mexican plates, and convenience store offerings clearly resonates with locals who appreciate having multiple food and grocery needs met in a single stop. The format leans toward casual, counter-style service suited to quick meals, morning coffee runs, or picking up everyday essentials alongside a plate of barbecue or a Mexican entrée.
