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.

It's a typical tex-mex restaurant. They seem short staffed on servers. The servers are nice and…read morethey are great at their jobs but they should hire one more and a bartender to help service be faster. The enchiladas are alright the beans are surprisingly good so is the rice. The queso blanco is actually fire. It isn't the best tex-mex food i've had but it's not the worst. If they improved the food by adding more vegetarian options and non meat salsas for the enchiladas it would be a lot better. My fiancé loved their birria tacos though.

What a wonderful addition to Houma!…read more From the moment we walked into Joe's Pizza and Pasta, we felt like we were being welcomed into someone's home rather than a restaurant. The food is authentic, fresh, and has that comforting Mediterranean-style, home-cooked quality that is becoming harder and harder to find. The owners are both chefs, and it shows in every dish. Everything is prepared fresh when ordered, which means it may take a little longer than fast food--but that is exactly what makes this place special. Quality takes time, and every bite is worth the wait. A special thank you to our server, Brittany. She was absolutely delightful! A true Cajun with a natural sense of humor, she knew every dish on the menu and described them with such enthusiasm and love that she made us want to try everything. Her personality, warmth, and genuine enjoyment of her work made our dining experience even more memorable. Houma is fortunate to have this hidden gem. If you appreciate fresh ingredients, homemade flavors, friendly owners, and service that comes from the heart, you owe it to yourself to visit. We will definitely be back and will be bringing friends and family with us. Welcome to Houma, and wishing you much success--you truly deserve it! Make sure you try the Bread with the Garlic Olive Oil dip

The filling was also very good. It came with a large salad consisting of iceberg lettuce, red cabbage and carrot sticks. The blue cheese dressing was tasty. My wife had the Lasagna and she loved it. We dined with a large group of twenty friends and nearly every person really enjoyed the food. Service was excellent. This is a relatively new restaurant in town and they already have a large number of patrons for lunch. Very reasonable prices and good size portions. The luncheon menu was extensive and provided a good variety of meals. Highly recommended.

Food and service is amazing!! One of the best steaks we ever had! Will definitely dine here again.read more

What a delightful find!!…read more My wife's family is from Houma and if you are from the area, you know that the town is overrun with chain restaurants. We had seen Cafe Dominique driving by a few times downtown so we decided to have dinner there and are so glad that we did. Make no mistake; this place is not a casual dining place and not like any other place in Houma. No kids menu, no plastic utensils (or even cheap aluminum ones!), starched linen and beautiful table settings. It is pricey but worth it. The menu featured numerous upscale American dishes; rib eye steaks, crab ravioli, osso bucco, roasted chicken and all were delicious. We started with an appetizer of a local goat cheese encrusted with pistachios and served warm that was magnificent! We had more than enough for the both of us and the kids even ate some of it. My wife had the rib eye that was cooked to perfection and served with grilled asparagus and roasted potatoes. Steak was cooked a perfect medium rare and the grilled asparagus was out of this world; tender and tasty. I went with the Osso Bucco (special for the evening; they have specials each night) which was really delicious; tender and with a great tasting sauce. I was a little disappointed with the risotto that accompanied it but it was served with some of the great tasting asparagus as well so all in all, a solid dinner. The cafe is a little deceiving size-wise from the outside; looks small but once inside you can see about 3-4 different seating areas and also has a good size bar. Serve a wide variety of wines by the glass and beer by the bottle. Once the weather cools down, the outside patio will be in full swing! All in all a delightful dinner and a great find. Definitely more expensive than any other place you'll find in Houma but if tired of Copelands and the other chain restaurants, you'll be happy to eat at Cafe Dominique.
