They had good management, but have a new guy in, Tyler, who can cook Blackened chicken that is worth every bit of the price and more. We eat there often; and Maxine is a star as well. Jennifer should be judged Henderson's best server and her fellow servers are neck and neck with her. BBQ shrimp is also good as is the enormous boiled shrimp. read more

Food and prices not a fan Sis n law took me for a meal we ordered for the 2 of us and an order Togo and spent almost $130 our food wasn't hot and she wasn't impressed neither was eye We haven't been back its not for us! read more

Eclectic decor inside- Our waitress Stormy was a bit non responsive- apparently has been employed there for awhile & lacked knowledge on whether their beans contained pork/lard. When we asked, she just replied, "I don't know" & I asked her if she could please go check so we know if we need to find something else to order if need be. Two managers both came over & they apologized & explicitly. The blackened chicken & veggies with the pineapple mango salsa was tasty but the rice was bland. Husbands redfish tacos were huge & blackened as well. Very tasty though he too agreed the rice was flavorless. They do charge $3.99 for chips & salsa. read more

Tyler Texas location just opening. Absolutely love the stuffed mushrooms, guacamole, boudin balls, blackened redfish pontchartrain, steak fajitas meat. Pass on the charro beans and the gumbo wasn't great, either. Steak came out rare when ordered medium, BUT the second time around came out on point. Alcohol drinks 7/10 decent not great, but the food is 9/10 at a minimum. Service was 10/10 for sure. read more

The food is excellent and service is as well. 5 stars out of 5 stars The grilled oysters are to die for. Have never had a bad dish on the menu. Try them all read more

Probably the most popular restaurant in Henderson. Ate here twice this week. TLDR: nice atmosphere, mediocre food. The first night I ordered a bowl of chicken and sausage gumbo. Not impressed to say the least. The sausage was the only enjoyable part of the dish. The chicken and rice were overcooked. It was so watery and salty I picked out the sausage and left the rest. The second night I skipped ordering an entrée and ate the cheesy oyster appetizer that my colleagues ordered. These were fresh but the cheese level was inconsistent. 2.5 stars rounded up to 3 because the service was friendly, and the posters are cool. read more

Tia Juanita’s - Cheesy oyster appetizer. - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Henderson, Texas

I pop in to Tia Juanita's about every week or so. Overall, I like the place. The food is good and the service is good as wee. When live music is being played, it's not obnoxious. I really haven't had a bad time yet. The only thing that frustrates me is that the hostesses often want to seat me in the other side of the restaurant from the bar side. I sat there once and hated it. In fact, I got up and left. IT's loud and dingy and the atmosphere is the opposite of what I go there for. The problem I see is that the bar side has too many large tables. A person going alone is going to want to be on that side. Overall, I haven't had a bad experience and it's nice to pop in for a cold beer and some oysters. read more

ALWAYS a terrible experience... either the expensive food or goofy weird staff . Pizza Hut here is better to it's customers ... says a lot.

We are from the DFW area.We go to Tia Juanita's every time we come to visit friends. We love it, everything we have ordered has been good! Jennifer is the best server! read more

Absolutely BEST Chargrilled oysters I've ever had!!! FIRE!!! Staff was very friendly and hostess was a delight to talk with. Gumbo was good; boudin balls had good flavor, but were a little warm because they had sat out in a warmer and not freshly fried. Will definitely good back read more

Get the hush puppies with jalapeño butter! Delicious! We ordered the fajita chicken quesadillas and fajita chicken nachos that are made on tostadas! It comes with jalapeño dipping sauce! Yum! Generous portions and affordable prices! The staff are friendly and helpful. Clean restrooms and lots of parking! We're going back! read more

Fast and friendly service. Everything I've tried there has been fantastic. But the best thing I've tried are the fried pork ribs. I'd never heard of the dish and so glad we were adventurous enough to try them. Will order them next time in for sure, which will be any day now. read more

Our waitress Jennifer was amazing. We met the manager and was so kind and respectful. The food was absolutely amazing! We will be back! Heather & Steve read more

Coming home from Tyler a couple weekends ago. We went through Henderson Texas and found this amazing little restaurant. Tia Juanita's - My husband had heard about it from a couple of his drivers and so we decided to pull in and have a looksee. Oh my gosh it's the cutest place. They have so much stuff on the walls and everywhere that I just had to get up and walk around. I had to see everything. Such a casual atmosphere. The staff is everywhere. Very accommodating. The food was very good. There are so many different things to choose from. It was hard just picking a few. My husband had the seafood gumbo and it was full of shrimp. So good. He had a side of potato salad because I've got to try anyone's potato salad wherever I go. They didn't disappoint. It was really good. We got the stuffed mushrooms that were just smothered in cheese and the flavor was so good. I had the seafood enchiladas. Really really tasty. The rice was really good and the beans were too. They were not watery at all. It had a good thick juice to it. The pico de gallo was very flavorful and I cut up the big chili and put it in my enchilada. Hot For dessert we had the bread pudding, which was amazing. So good that really it was plenty for both of us, but we went ahead and took some strawberry cheesecake home with us. I loved it. It's a little bit of a drive for us but I guarantee you the next time we go to Tyler we will definitely be stopping back by. We have so many other things we need to try. So if you're just wandering around Texas and you see this huge Fishcamp go ahead and pull in but be hungry. read more

Had the oysters. They were great. Great atmosphere. Live music when I went. Cool spot

Everything was awesome, excellent staff, we ate the tacos, awesome meal. Everyone was nice, plenty of room around the table as well

As a seafood place, they need to work on the fried shrimp recipe. It was battered in THICK cornmeal. On top of that, it was flavorless. The fries weren't much better. But as a Tex-Mex place, the chips, salsa, and queso were very good, which shows promise for the rest of the menu. I can't wait to try it. The frozen margarita was good and affordable. Service was friendly and prompt. Minus one star for not having a brand website. read more

Chris our server was great. Margarita was also great. Our food was horrible. I had shrimp tacos and my husband had fish tacos (both grilled). It was so salty, it was almost inedible. We regret we didn't speak up. When the manager came over at the end to see if we enjoyed our meal, we told him. His response was, sorry, we have a new taco chef. Doubt we will be back. read more

Great service, everyone was super friendly Love the place for ambiance...1960's America with lots of stuff on the walls to look at. Tone of seating The raw Oysters were fresh and tasty Good stop over for a selection of fun menu items read more

Me and my family meet here about twice a month, has always been good until this last time . Worst experience, ordered gator bites for the table, they were raw. Sent them back and came back out still raw with about half an order, maybe. Our food arrived, my daughter and I ordered the redfish poncitrain , redfish was tough and the shrimp on top tasted like it was grilled in lighter fluid. My girlfriend ordered chicken quesadillas that weren't cooked, the manager came out with her plate in his hands after the waiter took it back, his exact words were ( I DONT EVEN KNOW WHERE THIS CAME FROM, WE DONT EVEN USE THIS TYPE OF TORTILLAS)WTF!!!! Granddaughter ordered steak nachos, they came in a full size corn tortilla, covered in more beans than you can even believe, we actually counted the pieces of steak on top of them, 3 to 4 pieces on each one maybe 1/4" in size. She wouldn't even eat it. No we're sorry just excuses. I'm not looking for a free meal and I never complain but this was nasty, straight up inedible!!!! I've eaten there over a hundred times since they have been open but never again. Thing is , the manager came to the tat3 different times, first time I'm sorry, second time, I don't even know where this food came from????? Third time , I'm sorry ya'll didn't have a better time, not I apologize for the terrible food, just sad !!!! read more

They charge for chips and salsa unlike most Mexican restaurants. The waitress says would you like chips and salsa? Of course you say ye because you assume they are complementary like they are in every other Mexican, restaurant in the world. And then they charge you four dollars. It's not the price as much as the sneaky way they get to you that bothers me. read more

Food was not great. Typical chain restaurant. Drinks were pretty good. There was a lot of food for the price.

The charbroiled Oysters were simply amazing. The fried ribs are delicious. If you go find Hanna she was an amazing waitress.

When this place first opened, it was great. Definitely the most expensive restaurant in town, but no lunch special or lunch menu. The manager, Paul, knew everyone and worked the room. I'm not sure who the manager is now as no one seems to be in charge. Our lunch today was mediocre. We ordered appetizers and salad and salmon. The salad came a minute before the meal. The appetizers came after we got our meal!! The salmon, veggies and rice were lukewarn and the sauce had too much water and soaked the plate The waitress blamed the kitchen. No, it was not crowded. Yes, we found the manager and spoke to her afterwards and she was aware of what had happened but didn't say anything. Overall, I'd give it a C- and we left very disappointed. read more

I had to be in the area for a week's worth of work andbthis was kinda like the only place I saw that was not a fast food restaurant. The menu is all over the place so the first night I had the fried fish and it was mid. The second time within the week I went and a waitress advised me just have the margaritas and some bodain balls. Finally this was the key the balls were just amazing and I just wanted more and more. Long story short the day I left town I took a few with me home to enjoy at a later time. If I had known i would rated higher. read more

Great experience from start to finish! Jennifer took great care of our family of 8. So many delicious cocktails to choose from. Highly recommend the pain killer and creamsicle. We started off with gator bites & the dip sampler. Shrimp & grits were cooked perfectly. We were too full to try the desserts but they all looked delightful. read more

"J" and I have been here separately with our families. This is a cool place. Looks like they took 3 places in a small strip mall and combined into one large restaurant. The setting is very cool. The food I had there once was good, not great= the Gumbos. Both the Seafood and the Chicken Sausage Gumbos were good but not bad. Chips and Queso were good. My wife really liked her Chicken Fajitas. "J" like the Grilled Shrimp Quesadillas when he went. I will be back many times. There are so many good choices here. The atmosphere is great. This place should only get more and more busy as word spreads in Longview. read more

First time trying this place. Food and service was great. Looking forward to our next trip there. Lots of menu items to try. Gator bites were good too. read more

Everything is great. Thanks to the staff this past week for all your kind gestures during such a difficult time for our family.

Nice big place has lots of seating. Ok so we ordered the boiled shrimp. It was hard to peel and lacking flavor. We ordered the Pontchartrain the fish was nice and flaky and sauce was really good ,but the veggies were raw. The salmon the sauce on the fish was so good and the fish was nice and flaky. the veggies were properly cooked. supreme nachos was a huge portion of food. Taste is what you'd expect from nachos. Almost forgot the fish came with a salad if you wanted it, it was very generic. Service was slow from the kitchen on a Tuesday night, hate to see what it's like on a weekend. read more

Great food and service. The fish tacos and jalapeño ranch are amazing. We will be back!

First time here with my family and we had a great time! Our server was David and he was super sweet and made us feel very welcomed the whole time! The blackened crab in the nachos was amazing and everything else smelled super good too. I definitely recommend if you live near here! read more

The food was great and the service was even better. I highly recommend the oysters, boudin balls and alligator bites.

Disappointed The service was very slow The food was just ok The bathroom dirty Our waitress was nice but overworked I always liked going here, but today was not good read more

So, you found yourself in Henderson, Texas for the evening and you are wondering what to do? Well, I'll tell you what you do... immediately go to Tia Juanita's. Don't pass go. Do not collect $200. Just go now. For those of you still reading this, who obviously need more convincing... first, I respect your skeptical mind. We need more of that in the world. But damn it, this place is awesome. The service is top notch, the food is incredible, and if you like to people watch (like I do) it is full of engaging and friendly people. I travel all over the country for a living l, and while I wouldn't call myself picky... I don't dole out the praise without reason. Come and try the oysters... don't like oysters? Broaden your horizons, for Christ's sake! Or, try anything on the menu. It's Tex (awesome)/ Mex (awesome) and Cajun (awesome) if you can't see the trifecta of delicious they are serving up daily... don't worry, NASA is working on a intravenous sustenance solution for you where you will never have to taste your food ever again. The rest of you need to stop reading (seriously I can't believe you are still here) and go get your grub on. read more

Pretty impressed with this placed. I've eaten here 3 times, and each time I got something different, and each time I completely enjoyed my food! The tacos are huge and delicious! The boudin balls are incredible!!! The gumbo is pretty damn good too. I highly recommend this restaurant read more

The vibes of this restaurant are just top tier. There's plenty of really cool and funny decor to view while dining or waiting for a table. We went on a night there was live music and it was super great! Our server was super sweet and took great care of us even with how busy it was. And the food was great! The steak had a nice wood grilled taste to it. I will say it's definitely different than the normal Texas grilled steak but delicious none the less. We went with a party of 6 and none of our meals were messed up or subpar. read more

Ordered the fried shrimp. It didn't have flavor though but also ordered a margarita and it was so good. Honestly, the best margarita! Wish they had curbside and delivery though. read more

Well let's start off by saying the waitress was not very good, she took our order but didn't write anything down which is fine as long as we get what we asked for. I asked for my vegetables to be cooked well done on my fajitas, but they was barely even cooked, the beef fajita meat was very good though. My wife ordered the Salomon dinner nd she said the Salomon was ok but the vegetables that came with it was not good, said they didn't taste very fresh and she didn't get her salad, when we asked the waitress about it she said it didn't come with one, so we went and got a menu to see if her salmon dinner come with a salad and it did, she just didn't get it. Don't appreciate the waitress lying to us. I can say the place has a pretty good atmosphere and seems to be pretty clean. I do wanna try it again and maybe be able to up my review next time I hope. read more
