Loved my first visit to El Barrio! So much so that I don't have any photos of our delicious drinks…read more I don't live close by, but a few girlfriends met up with a friend who does, and this is the restaurant she picked. We enjoyed sitting on the patio-- even in August, it cooled off as the sun was setting (which was gorgeous). Our margaritas were great. I had smoked pineapple and it reminded me of a mezcal marg. We also had the trio dip, and those black beans are phenomenal! Loved the decor of the restaurant, and the bathroom is big, clean, and cute (you know girls love a good restroom). Can't wait for another girls night there.

First time checking this place out. I've heard the food was good so we stopped by. After being…read moreseated the waitress walks over to greet us asking how we were doing we said fine how are you.. well she wasn't doing as well. She mentioned that they just had a rush. She was tired her back was hurting. I told her it was our first time being there . So I said we can order and pay and be out before closing. We ordered our food and she didn't come back to the table. I seen her and the manager were eating so I waited. Flagged her over after to ask about the desert she said she would go check to see if they had any. She never came back. The manager brought out our food and we were missing all the topping that came with it. I asked him about it and he went get it for us. After we finished eating I flagged her over again to see if they had the dessert she said she forgot and was going look. Nothing again. After waiting we just decided to not get it we just paid and left. Being a person that has worked in restaurants and hospitality most of my life this just wasn't the best first impression. I completely understand being tired or drained from a days work but it's also a luxury to be able to go out to a restaurant and eat With the economy and rising prices. I will say the food was pretty good.. service not so good. Not just from the waitress I believe the manager should be able to pick up where the server lacks. This is just my opinion and experience.

We stopped in here for lunch and ended up with a sampling of what in my opinion is probably the best example of cajun food done right in Houma and for miles around - everything was delicious and the service from Sarah L was outstanding. We started with the Charbroiled Oysters served with toasted french bread, the plump Louisiana oysters were succulent and dipping the french bread in the cajun butter became an obsession, definitely a must do starter - I wasn't leaving here without trying their chicken and sausage gumbo, perfect texture and complex flavors it will make you a believer, my hats off to the chef, definitely authentic - the fried catfish filets and jumbo fried shrimp platters were outstanding although we didn't do it these are the foundation of an amazing po-boy (maybe next time) - all the sides were exceptional from the fried okra and onion rings to my personal favorite the skillet fried potatoes and who could leave without a few beignets served hot covered in powdered sugar - what a meal they should have a place to lay down in the back for a "cajun nap". In my opinion if you craving some authentic cajun dishes you can't go wrong here, the portions are nice and the prices are very reasonable. Our schedule didn't allow us to return as we had planned but will definitely return when we are back in the area...
