    Shrimp and Crawfish & Shrimp Enchiladas

    Went for a late night dinner. They were kind and the food was cool! If I'm ever in the area again, I'd revisit.

    Get in where you fit in here!! There are two entrances (front and side). Seating is first come and first service basically. We learned the hard way, but nevertheless we finally got a table after "waiting" for our chance for 15 min. This place was packed and we went around 11am so be prepared. Diego was a life saver, he was very helpful and kept the coffee coming for me. Even though he couldn't take our order, he was so helpful and kind. Ok yall please order the pancake. I know it's weird, authentic Mexican food, Cajun seafood and pancakes!!?! Trust me, it all works!! Try it!! The pancake was my favorite part but the enchiladas did not disappoint. I will be back for sure!!! I love hole in the walls and I'm pretty sure this is family owned. My exit was so loving and kind from an Abuelita! Happy Yelping!

    Fajita Plate

    Amazing Food & service! Ist time customer, I like the way they serve beer with Lime Juice! ordered two Tacos with Fajita . Beef was tender & well spiced, so were the rice & beans! Relatively busy at 4pm Saturday. Must be a neighborhood hangout!!

    Came looking for another restaurant in the area but couldn't find it so we came upon this hole in the wall not expecting anything really good but this place has great service and attitude. Casual, homely ambiance. Great sauces and chips. I absolutely loved the red sauce made molcajete style. Ordered the Grande special and let me tell you that you can't go wrong. So much food that 2 can eat from one plate. I truly recommend trying it. Everything made smells amazing. Homemade tortillas served. Waitresses are very friendly. I will be back to try other items. The sweet tea was perfect. They have adult mixed drinks too. Nobody rushing you out. Come give them a try.

    I love their food! I go here once a month with my friends. The food is delicious. The staff are very nice. The margaritas are really good. I haven't tried anything that I didn't like. My friends & I always celebrate our birthdays here. The bathroom is always clean.

Feels good when an establishment takes pride in their customer's feedback and puts a plan into action. Honestly, part of me was hoping that last time was just a fluke or an off day. This time around, everything from the service to the food was great. We had a 12:30 Sunday reservation for two and opted to sit inside this time. We ordered the cast-iron cornbread, chargrilled oysters, and a cup of gumbo each to start. For entrées, I had the Gulf Fish, while my husband went with the crawfish Florentine. Everything came out beautifully timed, almost like a perfectly paced three-course meal, which obviously made the whole experience feel elevated and relaxed. Our waiter was knowledgeable, attentive, and on top of everything without being overbearing. I also tried the prickly pear aid (non-alcoholic), and it was super refreshing, definitely worth ordering if you like a little tartness to cleanse your palate. Overall, this visit felt like a completely different experience than last time. It delivered the elevated experience a place like Eunice promises and what I was used to originally. Looking forward to celebrating my birthday here in June!

Unfortunately, the overall dining experience was disappointing due to both the service and the food quality. Our server was very slow throughout the evening. After ordering cocktails, it took approximately 20 minutes for them to arrive. We then ordered our meals... I had the burger and fries, while my girlfriend ordered the shrimp and grits. Both dishes were noticeably over salted. After finishing our meals, we waited an additional 15-20 minutes just to receive a dessert menu. Eventually, we decided not to wait any longer and went to Dessert Gallery down the street instead. While the atmosphere and appearance of the restaurant were excellent, the slow service and food issues negatively impacted the experience. Based on this visit, I would likely not return.

The vibe is great, the decor is awesome, the food delivers consistently, and service rarely takes a day off -- it's just a solid place to go when you're up for some great southern comfort classics. Cocktails, delicious. The daily food specials make it refreshing. The oysters never disappoint. We've rarely had to wait long on any ordered items and servers are all top notch. My only minor complaint is some of the larger groups visiting can sometimes forget there are others in the restaurant. We don't need to hear your entire conversation about the latest office gossip.

    *this review is only for crawfish, not their regular menu (which is amazing) *…read more We went here during crawfish season because they've been advertising their $8/lb crawfish, and we trusted that it would be great given the quality of their regular menu. We went on a Saturday for lunch. Hopefully this was just a one-off, but if you're looking for good Cajun boiled crawfish, this is not it. We started off with 6 lbs (group of 4) of their regular crawfish. First off, they put the Cajun seasoning on outside/shell (!!), which is a cardinal sin for Cajuns. They also minimally seasoned the boil, so the meat was lacking salt and flavor. We ordered 3 more lbs with the "wet sauce" (garlic butter), thinking the lack of flavor may be attributed to this being the first-ish batch of the day. Nope, the second batch was even less seasoned than the first. The sauce was good, but it didn't make up for the unseasoned meat. The crawfish were a good size, at least... Come on guys, I expect more from a Gulf Coast seafood restaurant!

Inside it's a nice restaurant with an upscale feel to it. I ordered a house salad for $9 to start and the Pasta Rosa entree for another $28. The salad arrived first with a generous amount of romaine lettuce with diced tomatoes, cucumber, shredded carrots and chopped eggs on top. With my chosen ranch dressing it was a good tasting salad. The Pasta Rosa dish had sliced Parmesan strips on top of penne with shrimp, crawfish and sausage for the protein with mushrooms and a tomato cream sauce. This meal initially tricked me. My first impression was that while there was plenty of protein the taste of the tomato cream sauce was lacking some flavor. I expected more. However as I kept eating and getting beyond the top layer of the food the flavor increased significantly. I think that the proteins caused the sauce in the lower half of the dish to create more punch. This dish got better and better and I changed my mind. It turned out to be a very good tasting and filling meal. Finally the table service was very good too. P.S. I also tried part of another appetizer which was the bar b q shrimp for $16. They were tasty. I like Rouxpour and would return. My only negative is that their prices are a little on the high side in my opinion.
