    Had a large family group of 13 at GilliGil's Island in Slidell and had a great time. GilliGil's Island is a great family friendly bar and eatery, with a friendly, welcoming persona and a laid back island vibe. Great service and friendly people add to the experience. We enjoyed an array of favorites, including burgers, po'boys, craft beers, and specialty cocktails. The highlight may have been the shareable shrimp and sausage platter with corn and peppers, all served up in the best Louisiana boil style. All good! GilliGil's Island is highly recommended.

    Baja shrimp tacos with my sauce on the side. These were super delish, the shrimp was so juicy, and the flavor was on point!!

    This place is great every time! The drinks, food, & vibes never disappoint. The staff is very welcoming & attentive. It's a perfect place for everyone. It has a pirate ship that the kids can play on, as well as a sand area. Great local place. If you haven't tried it definitely do! You won't be disappointed!

    Cool tropical vibe restaurant and bar right near the water. Great service and good food. I really enjoyed the shrimp tacos and the tuna ceviche. Feels like a fun locals spot with a low key atmosphere, plus there's TVs for sports nights.

    I love the vibe of this place - it's right on the water. The music is happy and fun. They have swings! They have outdoor seating that's covered and uncovered. Looks like a great place for kids, too, since they have an amazing outdoor play area. And to make things even better: they are DOG FRIENDLY! Love it! The service was fantastic! Everyone was super friendly and we got our food quickly. The food was amazing! I ordered the mixed tostada that had a variety of seafood and it was spicy but delicious! We also got the mojito flight which was really fun! Definitely loved this place and I hope I get to go back again soon!

    We decided to try this little spot and we're pleasantly surprised. It is a dive hole in the wall with a lot of charm on the water in Slidell run totally by young women and the food is awfully good. We were very impressed that we shall return.

    Great place to relax and grab a burger! As close as you can get to a Florida beach joint without being in Florida!

    Story time. It's…read morefunny. My wife took me to her favorite place in Metairie. No names mentioned. We were early in our relationship at this point. Up to then, I'd stifled most of my comments on the food quality of her favorite place. But on this day, my facade was broken. I told her, this just isn't the quality I knew or grew accustomed to. Fast forward a little while, she comes to stay at the apartment I was in. I ordered Los Cantaritos on DoorDash. (Don't do it, just go in. Or call in to pick up) I already knew it was delicious food!! (Was a habitual door dash customer already. So I knew! She looks at the to go's and skepticism is TO THE MAX. First bite... she's "ohhh ahhhh this is so good. I was not prepared." So alas, off we go to find this place to sit down inside, and enjoy it FRESH FRESH! Even to go, BANGINNN!! I drive us to the OPPOSITE SIDE OF TOWN. Cause ya know, I'm secretly blonde. And took us right to the wrong spot. We put that thing in the maps, and headed off to what became, THE ABSOLUTE BEST spot we've ever stumbled into. We REFUSE to order to go anymore. DoorDash? Hot and yum!! In the restaurant? I thought it was good to go... omg... So anyways, at some point many visits later, she says to me, "I get it now. I can see why you thought my spot wasn't it. We have NOT been to another spot since. Owners? Commendable. Staff? Outstanding. Food? You. Have. To. Try. It... Most spots have that similar flavor. You kind of always know what a Cali burrito will taste like. A changa. Etc. etc. The flavors here are so ROBUST. We can't tear ourselves away from this place. We've begun to wonder what's in the food... Either way, we eating it! Should I even start on there Beria? OMG... Lastly, I hope this review finds all of you well!! If you've made it this far, just go. Go again. Go three times. But just go. You, will not. Regret this place. Los Cantaritos should be on your radar if it wasn't already!

    Bruvvvv! This place is fantastic. I ordered the Chile con Carne, and wow! Tasted almost exactly how…read moremy grandma makes it & the charro beans - YUM! Looking forward to eating here again. Brian the waiter was great.
