Tucked next to a gas station and a 7-11 lies the best food in whitebread Simi Valley. Let everyone else go to the factory chains. You should make a point of not missing La Louisianne Express. Steve makes the best fried chicken in the known universe. Always blazing hot, crunchy crust and tender, moist chicken. He also happens to make the best crab cakes I've ever had. They're square with a deep fried crust, but with almost a mousse-like crab filling. I could eat 10 of these.Be sure to order the red beans and rice. Or, if you're lucky, try the butter beans. They are awesome. And for desert you simply have to order the bread pudding AND the benyee's. Steve can be a little grouchy at times, but if you were in pain most of the time, you might be too. Offer a smile, and he will always return one likewise.\r

Don't look for glamorous atmosphere here. That's not what LLE is all about. But if great food at a good price appeals, don't miss it.
Pros: Great food.....
Cons: Needs a facelift inside.
