Full Guide to Eat Like a Dinosaur Week Restaurants in Shreveport

I’ve spent the last few days on a literal "culinary expedition" across Shreveport and Bossier, tracking down every single specialty dish for Eat Like a Dinosaur Week.

From the upscale vibes of Zuzul to the street-taco soul of Ki Mexico, our local chefs have turned prehistoric history into a high-end food experience.

The "Cretaceous" Food Tour

I started my journey at Bella Fresca, where the "Bayou Steak-osaurus Rex" set the bar impossibly high. This isn't just a steak; it’s a Wagyu masterpiece topped with roasted bone marrow that feels like something a T-Rex would envy.

Next, I headed to Ki Mexico for the Brontosaurus Rib Taco. You have to see this to believe it, a massive, tender beef rib served right on the tortilla. It’s smoky, bold, and exactly what you’d expect from the 318’s favorite taco spot.

For the seafood lovers, Zuzul Coastal Cuisine delivered the "Cretaceous Crustaceans." I’m going to be honest: I was literally scraping the plate. The sauce on this dish is so addictive I actually ate all the greens just to get every last drop. It perfectly captures the "Sea Monsters" theme with fresh, coastal flavors.

Don't Let These Dishes Go Extinct

Whether you’re grabbing dinosaur-shaped treats at Dripp Donuts, hitting El Cabo Verde for their blue corn "fossil" tacos, or trying the primordial pasta at Giuseppe’s, there is something for every "herbivore" and "carnivore" in the family.

Take a scroll through the gallery below to see every single plate I tried. Each one is a tribute to the incredible Smithsonian exhibit in our backyard, but remember: these specials disappear after April 4th. Grab your fellow explorers and hit these local spots before this prehistoric menu is history!
