    The Man Down

    The crab is really good but MAN... is it messy to eat! This place will give you A LOT of food. The box will start to bend and morph because it's so much food. The crab, sausages, corn, and potatoes are already sauced and buttered but they will give you FOUR additional cups of extra butter (just in case). I placed the order online and when I went to pick up there was no line.

    Checked out DeSoto Food Market and was impressed! The Shells and Tails 2 Geaux food truck and surrounding area were both very clean. One small suggestion: adding some shade (like a tent or canopy) would be great for those super hot days while ordering. I got the Cajun Munch Platter (requested no pork sausage), and the staff kindly gave me extra corn instead which was most definitely appreciated! The presentation was on point, and the food tasted great. The only thing I didn't love was the butter dipping sauce; it was a bit too thick and gel-like for my taste. Would definitely come back and recommend it for people visiting the area. Bonus: there's indoor seating with A/C and other cool vendors inside the market!

    Yall didn't ask me, but I just wanted you to know after my first review, i went back 3 more times in 2 weeks. I have no shame in that, and the food was perfection every time! Fast service, delicious food, and everyone working is super cool! 15/10 recommend

    We had the Cajun munch sampler and boiled snow crab. Everything was cooked to perfection. The crab,shrimp,sausage, corn and potatoes were excellent. We will definitely be back.

    It was raining so there was no line as some mentioned in previous reviews. I got the Munch Sampler which was recommended. It was sooooo good with just the right amount of spice and plenty for the price. Did I just rhyme? LOL. Anywho, the potatoes were seasoned throughout and not just on top like some competitors. Oh and the butter pulled it all together. I will definitely be revisiting this food truck.

    Pre-ordered my food online, when I arrived it was hot and ready to go. Taste was definitely 9/10 ( need a little more heat) but overall delicious. Prices are decent and the serving was plentiful. I will be back!

    Food was amazing you get what you pay for and a lot extra!! We had the Cajun crab platter, taste buds were watering before I took my first bite.. eyes watered a lil bit afterwards too because it was gone.. UN CHIGON DE SABOR. HELLA FLAVOR FOR THE ENGLISH. DON'T HESITATE AT ALL TO TRY IT OUT AND IF YOU WANT TO GO OUT OF YOUR WAY.. DO IT! We'll Be Back whenever we're in Dallas again and then back again when we come to Dallas after that .

    Forgot to take a before pic!

    Soooo delicious omg. Worth the drive! Service was pretty fast. They're doing the best they can because they are so busy. The line was longggg. It's a food truck, so the ambiance is outside. We had the crab platter with an extra crab cluster, added shrimp and eggs. 5/5. Going to visit this place often!! Black owned business as well!!!

    On everything this is one of the best spots in DeSoto! I love genuine Cajun seafood and they got it. I ordered a Shrimp Snack Pack and it had plenty of shrimp, potatoes, a link, and a corn on the cob. It was so good!! I enjoyed every bite of it, each bite made me happy. Every single food item was soulfully seasoned and cooked to perfection and the butter made it even more better. I can easily say this is one of my favorite local spots, and if you're curious about Shells and Tails I highly recommend it.

    Stumbled on this place via IG and from the few pics i saw i has to check it out and i wasn't disappointed. It is a good truck that is located at the same place daily. However they do run out of food as the day goes ok so I'd recommend getting there early. I didn't get there soon enough to try the seafood nachos, but i was able to get the Cajun crab platter with extra shrimp and man was it plenty of good and delicious. The sauce on the crab and way it was cooked was perfect. And it didn't take long at all to get our food either. They do have benches available to sit on while you wait or just wait in the car listening to some Marvin gay to get you in the mood for this delicious food. Whatever works, but you won't be disappointed here that's for sure.

    Stopped by this trendy food truck during my visit in Texas. Respectfully, I was expecting a piping hot pick your seasoning in a bag you know the drill type of set up but this place definitely is not. I ordered 3lb minimum crawfish and it was saturated in a dry chili powder type of seasoning. They were okay but the dry rub seasoning was overwhelming after a the first pound. The shrimps were seasoned very well and the crab was pretty decent. Im not use to grabs in a to go box though. Sadly I had to geaux through tummy aches and pains after eating this unique set up. Doubt I'd be back but I don't regret giving it a try.

    What is the brand of sausage they use? Does the sausage have sugar in it?

    Is everything spicy?

    No. Not to me. I would actually prefer for it to have more spice

    I would strongly caution anyone considering this company for their wedding or special event…read more From the very beginning, communication was a constant struggle. I routinely had to follow up multiple times just to receive responses, and many employees seemed unable to answer basic questions & two times was provided with wrong information. It often took days or weeks to get accurate information, making the planning process far more stressful than it needed to be. The experience became even worse on my wedding day. Despite being told numerous times that my wedding planner was the designated point of contact, the owner called me directly while I was preparing for my wedding to inform me that he was running late. During the call, people were screaming in the background, and when I politely reminded him to contact my wedding planner instead, he abruptly ended the conversation. When the dance floor was installed, I was shocked by what I saw. The subfloor was approximately five inches off the ground with nearly a foot of turf extending beyond the edges. It looked unfinished, unprofessional, and was a major eyesore in the middle of our wedding venue. This setup was never accurately described to us beforehand. When I expressed my concerns and asked whether anything could be done to improve the appearance, the owner rolled his eyes, became defensive, and made excuses rather than attempting to resolve the issue. I requested that the installation be taken apart, but was then presented with a waiver stating that if the dance floor came apart and someone was injured, the company would not be liable. Faced with that risk, I felt pressured to leave it in place. Unfortunately, my concerns proved valid. One of our guests tripped, fell flat on her face, and was forced to leave the wedding injured. After the event, I tried to give the company an opportunity to make things right. During a follow-up conversation, I was told that the behavior I described was unacceptable and that they would speak with the owner to investigate the situation And be in touch. However, after doing my own research, I discovered that the individual responsible for the issues throughout the process was actually the owner himself. I informed the company of this fact and have received no response since. It has now been over a week with complete silence. What should have been a joyful and stress-free experience became unnecessarily frustrating due to poor communication, lack of professionalism, dismissive customer service, and safety concerns. I rarely leave negative reviews, but couples deserve to know what they may be dealing with before trusting this company with one of the most important days of their lives.

    Cohost was truly incredible. The charcuterie board was absolutely perfect and became the star of…read moreour appetizers--our guests devoured it within minutes. The rest of the meal was just as impressive. The Caesar salad was fresh and flavorful, the mashed potatoes were creamy and delicious, and the chicken was cooked perfectly with amazing flavor. Everything was beautifully presented and tasted amazing. We couldn't have asked for better food or service on our wedding day!
