It was Memorial Day and on our way home from the casinos in Lake Charles, discovered we were hungry…read moreand decided to give Tia Juanita's another try. We gave it a shot when we first moved from the NASA area four years ago, so it was about time. I loved the fact they were open on Memorial Day, and they didn't seem to be too busy. Mostly golfers and their ilk. Our server was Kaitlyn, who was very fast. She reminded me of Mary Lou Retton. Very fast. Almost too fast? I asked a question about the amount of breading in the crab cake, and she said there was none. Seems unlikely, since crab cakes need a binder. I am intolerant of the gluten, so when she said the crab cakes had no binder, I was hesitant. I took the safe road and ordered the cucumber snacker and a boudin ball. My BF ordered a ribeye, and (because he thought he was super hungry), ordered chips and salsa as a starter. Kaitlyn brought out my wine and our chips and salsa straight away. The chips were very stale, the salsa was tasty but a little spicy for my taste. Everything arrived at our table at the same time, even though I ordered two apps as my meal. Kudos to Kaitlyn. The cucumbers were good, especially with the jalapeño ranch. No one can mess up a cucumber, but the jalapeño ranch was tasty. My boudin ball was meh. My BF ordered his ribeye medium temperature, and it arrived rare. Kaitlyn checked in on us a couple of minutes after the food arrived. He told her about the steak and she quickly whisked it away. ~5 minutes later, someone delivered the new steak. My BF enjoyed the new steak, baked potato and salad. When we visited four years ago, we felt rushed. I felt rushed this time as well. Obviously, Tia Juanita's is doing very well. You can't swing a rope without seeing another TJ's in SETX. It's probably just not our jam. I like a nice meal without feeling rushed. I also prefer to eat with a proper fork and knife. I would, however, like for the manager to respectfully respond to negative reviews. They seem to respond to positive reviews only.

They even have some apparel like T-shirts and sweatshirts. I wouldn't recommend dining in for anyone with Celiac due to cross contamination concerns, but I do enjoy getting the premade brisket sausage and boudin from the freezer. My husband loves their fried boudin balls.

Let me try to convince you to try it first. Near the Louisiana- Texas border this cafe is attached to a truck stop and casino. The inside has a country feel to it and the staff were more than friendly. Been to my share of these kind of places and they are hit / miss at best. This one is a hit for once. The pepper jack boudin egg roll is different but worth the try. We went simple with both grilled and fried chicken and surprisingly it was good. Prices are more than reasonable and overall it was a good experience as we were pressed for time to get back on the road. Like most greasy spoons the restrooms are not great but good enough for a quick wash up. Didn't have time to play the slots but since my Cajun is a bit rusty , wasn't sure where to cash out if I won.

Service was friendly and paced well. Restroom was clean. Located right off I-10 in Louisiana close to the Texas border, so very convenient if you need to stop for a meal. Only knocking down a star because you have to navigate through casino smoke to get to the restroom; otherwise a great little hidden gem.

That should have been my sign to leave, but we gave them a chance. The service was slow for a fast food place. I ordered a poboy and it was terrible. You could tell they just heated the shrimp up in the microwave and they were already cooked. They tasted fishy and gross. They put tartar sauce on it that was crunchy. No flavor whatsoever. My kids ordered the boneless wings, which were chicken tenders heated up in the microwave and dipped in bbq sauce. The restrooms didn't smell bad but the toilets were stained yellow and brown and looked like they haven't been scrubbed in years. Honestly, this place needs a health inspection. Just nasty.
