    Soft shell crab

    Great food and price. Large selection of items to choose from. Soft shell crabs a wonderful........ Service is good too

    Live boil crawfish

    This is our go to place Wait staff is always fast and friendly We have ordered Crawfish,Dungeness Crab,Snow Crab,Shrimp and Oysters. You have a choice of spice level from mild to super spicy. You also have a choice of seasoning as well like the house sauce as boiled seafood is in a clear plastic bag We love the house seasoning we flip the bag over and over to allow the seasoning to soak in. Large array of other dishes. Great Food!

    Fried Calamari (8-10)

    My boyfriend and I went out to eat here last night, we had fried squid for an appetizer and for our entrees we had the boil bags with shrimp, mussels, octopus and crab. I love the calamari. It came out hot and crispy. On our entrees, the flavoring, the captain's special blend, is excellent-most of the food was really good but some was overcooked-like the shrimp, most likely because all the foods were cooked together and have different cook times. The environment is nice and clean, our waitress seemed disconnected but she was nice. Overall it was a nice evening.

    We were driving back to Houston from our trip to Little Rock for a wedding. The wedding was…read moreawesome. So we pulled into a huge parking lot. Pro tip there is a huge amount of road construction around the restaurant so plan accordingly. We were greeted and sat promptly. Karen our server came and greeted us and got our drink order. I went to the restroom, it was clean but in need of a cosmetic upgrade. The restaurant itself was clean and had a Louisiana feel. My wife ordered the Salmon med rare, and she said it was excellent. I ordered the shrimp quesadillas and I was impressed by the buttered flavor of the flour tortilla that was crispy on the edges. I also was pleased with the amount of shrimp and cheese. The guacamole and the pico were fresh and tasty. For appetizers tried the Pistolette and were not overly impressed. The Boudin Balls and sauce were very good. I think they could have been a little spicier, but they were great. The bread pudding was just average in my opinion, but my wife loved it. My wife and I agreed that this will be one our go to stops when driving through Lufkin.

Having humble & genteel personality while being a menu wizard, she made me feel right at home with her hospitality. My Oysters Royale cooked by Michael were fantastically perfect & delicious. I should've gotten the dozen instead of the 1/2. Being it's my first time, I had to make sure they were on point first & they were! I loved the charro bean side that came with rice & sausage bits topped with pico. The hush puppies are decent with some garlic butter you might want to dive into like it's the Summer Olympic swimming relays. The music and atmosphere was nice & festive. The booths are comfortable & being solo, the 2 person sized ones were perfect for me. Lufkin has a mainstay that most towns would be jealous to have. Come eat here & leave satisfied. Bring all your friends! You can't go wrong here with Tia Jaunita's. You just might want to camp out here.

From what we could see, the kitchen looked clean and the drive-thru area was well kept. After a few minutes looking over the menu, a sweet young lady took our order and asked us to pull forward to the waiting area. About 20 minutes later, she brought out our food, explained how everything was packed, and we headed home. Once we got home, we were impressed with how nicely everything was packaged. We ordered the crawfish chowder--excellent, creamy, and loaded with meat and veggies! We also got the boudin egg rolls, which were large, crispy, and very tasty. And then the King Trio: King crab legs, Dungeness clusters, shrimp, potatoes, and corn. There was a great amount of King crab, and we added an extra Dungeness cluster, so it was definitely plenty of food. Everything was cooked perfectly, though a few bites were a bit salty--but still delicious. We'll definitely be going back to try more dishes... and we won't try to walk in next time! Bring cash for a tip! I didn't a felt really bad... I'll hook her up next time!
