    Shrimp etouffee & Fried Catfish (couldn't wait and had to take a bite)
    David D.

    Love this place. Tuesday & Thursday etouffee can't be beat. Need to get here on Monday for red beans and rice. Fried catfish is crispy with great flavor. Banana pudding is different from typical versions. They whip the pudding part so it is light and airy and the nilla wafers are crisp. If you want some NOLA staples, this is a great option.

    Etouffee special with shrimp and catfish fillet.

    I love this little new food truck. I've been there three times and every meal has been awesome. My first trip I had grilled fish with the best Mac and cheese and cornbread I've ever had in my life! The second time I had a huge shrimp Po boy, and today I had etouffee. I thought it was just going to be the etouffee, but it came with shrimp and a catfish fillet! They have a limited menu everyday so call ahead or check out their Instagram page for the day's meal.

    Amazing. Amazing and Amazing! There is not too many times I write a review while I'm in the car. I had to come and show this food truck some LOVE! We were headed to a BBQ place when we decided to try Err Thing New Orleans. We ordered the fried catfish, gumbo, shrimp étouffée, red beans and rice, it came with a piece of cornbread and a garlic toast. The service was great and the food came out quick. Everything was FLAVORFUL!! The catfish was definitely catfish. I'm not the only one that realized that some restaurants switch catfish for Swai.If you know your seafood you know what I'm talking about. The fish was season perfectly, it was moist and fresh. The étouffée came with huge shrimps and again very flavorful. The gumbo was full of chunks of shrimp, and the roux was made with love. The cornbread was sweet and sticky! The red beans and rice was amazing!!! Don't walk but run and come get you some authentic New Orleans, Cajun food. You will not be disappointed!!

    This is the best gumbo I have had in Austin. Sorry to the rest of those places trying their best, but this is the real deal. The potato salad also gets a passing grade and as a Louisiana girl I might be even more picky about potato salad than gumbo.

    Amazing. I grabbed the bowl of chicken and sausage gumbo. It comes with a drink....you're going to need that drink. Let me tell you it is STRAIGHT out of New Orleans. The aroma through the container was so pleasantly strong. Once I got back to work I didn't even get out the car for fear my coworkers would disturb this blessing of gumbo and cornbread. I just sat in the car and ate. Mind you with no music. This was the best. Oh...I have finally found better lemonade than CFA. It's here!!! Friendly and just all around good people. I will be back.

    Delicious shrimp po-boy with excellent cornbread included. Comes with lemonade and chips as well. Great spot if you're in the mood for delicious food from a casual location.

We ordered our usual: 2 lbs of crawfish with their whole shabang sauce mild, we included 3 potatoes, 7 sausages, and 1 corn to the bag, a side of rice, cajun fries, and a margarita. We finished at 7:10 pm, which is like the quickest boiling crab experience ever! Thoughts: -Sauce is not the authentic boiling crab sauce, it is way less seasoned and had an odd aftertaste. Ca and Dallas ones are 10000% much better.. tasting wise, but I've also never been to a boiling crab where they've messed up the sauce?? cuz cmon! the sauce is the best part!!! -Sausages are TINY compared to other boiling crab restaurants we've been to -I don't normally dip my crawfish in the lime/salt&pepper cuz you honestly don't really need it, but I dipped it in there for every single bite this time around.. hence, the sauce.... -Menus on napkin holder aka QR code -Gloves were the only solid thing here! We will not be frequenting this boiling crab location anymore. Waste of money! Overall, boiling crab is honestly like the best besides all the waiting, but if the sauce isn't good, then it's not worth it cuz you really are there for the sauce. Parking spots are limited near the restaurant, and people ought to park better cuz some people just can't park. Get there early to avoid that and to lessen your wait time. Servers were attentive and nice.

You can really taste the love that went into all this food. This is a food truck right across from HEB mueller in that swimming pool parking lot. She's only open on the weekends and her food can be ordered on DoorDash but she has more menu items in person than on DoorDash. I online ordered and picked up 3 different orders. 2 of them were not ready and she had me wait in my car and she brought them out to me so I didn't melt in the heat. Now the important stuff the menu... Ok who knew you could fry ribs?!?! They were on point. 4 to an order. Ribs were still moist, the batter had a crunch, and the meat fell off the bone. The dirty rice was the best dirty rice I've ever eaten. It was loaded up with seafood The smothered pork chops were 2 to an order and 2 sides served on a bed of white rice. Also very moist and great flavor, the Mac n cheese was not runny which I personally hate when it's just a runny mess, the fried cabbage also had a great flavor and it was still crunchy. The jerk chicken had great flavor but it was ordered as mild (not by me) and it definitely needed the heat/spice,the jumbalaya side was also tasty We also got the hot Cheetos boudin balls (I forgot to take a picture) they were huge and not spicy at first bite the heat sneaks up on you. The strawberry crunch cake was a big slice and reminded me of strawberry cake doughnut but that banana pudding was also probably the best banana pudding I've ever eaten. I felt all the portions were huge and prices were fair. This definitely not a food truck to sleep on. I've been told she makes great oxtails but they sell out fast.

We ate lightly as we were heading to a dinner holiday party. The appetizers were absolutely delicious. I got to speak with Chef Manny and and Carina, the general manager to gain some insights about the business. Mexican Cocina is based on the cooking method and seasonings. The foods can be cooked over fire, oven or in the stove. Their unique value proposition is that you can choose your seafood from the case and the restaurant staff prepares the food to your liking. The restaurant is very large with different size rooms for rental. For large party rentals the spend minimum is $1000 and during the week it is $800.

The bartender was very friendly and attentive to us but the food was very disappointing. We started with the ceviche tropical, which is consists of shrimp and fruit/veggies. It was very underseasoned and did not seem to be well marinated. Moreover, the dish had a fishiness to it that was a turnoff. The chips served with the ceviche had oil collecting on them (see photo). I've had good ceviche in the U.S. and Mexico and this was not it. The main entree was the Tacos Nayarit (fish tacos). The portions of fish were microscopic and also lacked flavor. The Spanish rice served on the side was the worst I've had in a restaurant. It was wet, old and gummy (see photo). The black beans didn't taste bad but they were superheated as if they were warmed in a microwave. Overall, the food was pretty horrible. So very sad as I was hoping to find a good Mexican seafood option in Austin. I was told that this restaurant is owned by the same folks that operate Casa Chapala, where I have had great experiences. Hopefully this place will improve over time.

I highly recommend ordering family style for the table but make sure your whole party is on board with splitting the check evenly because the restaurant does not break up the check according to diners only split evenly, I believe up to four ways. Example: Our check was $822 (included gratuities) for seven people and we were only able to split evenly four ways. Roughly $118 each. It is what it is but I didn't even get a main course. Just a glass of wine, a half of a piece of bruschetta, some of the Caesar salad and a small portion of the gnocchi (all shared) I'm glad I got to experience Red Ash, but now that I've checked that off my list, I'm good.

Crab tends to turn to shreds when it's overboiled, and I was EASILY pulling out nice, intact pieces from the shell, so no worries about that here. If you're in the area, definitely approach the truck even if it looks closed--worth it to double check!
