Burrito Plate
James L.

This is definitely a hole in the wall restaurant. Despite it being pretty busy during the lunch hour. I was greeted by the smiles of a gentleman and a lady working the counter and the floor. I did eat some of the food and what I did it was pretty good. But it was just drenched in this sauce and I am not a fan of that. So I ended up only eating some of what was on the inside of the burrito and that's it.

Great Beef fajitas very tender and tasty. The sizzling plate come with a chicken soup beforehand also very good. Chips and salsa are great! Inside dining has social distancing in place. Best Mexican food in town!

I might be a little biased but I think this is the best Mexican food I've ever had, I still haven't had any better chips and queso anywhere else. Anything with the steak beef or grilled shrimp on it is so delicious - taco salads, quesadillas, fajitas, yummy!

Old Guacamole burnt pieces of rice. And this is the 11.95 chicken fajita burrito. It's slightly wider than the spoon.

I called several times today asking them about things they had to eat. I went up there to get me and my husband dinner. My sugar was low. And we're out of town. I looked over the menu several times trying to make sure that whatever I ordered was something good that I could eat. I ordered a taco salad with beef. And my husband the smothered chicken fajita burrito. With sour cream sauce, rice, and beans. It was almost $25. They have the bag tied up so tight. I couldn't untie it without ripping it open so I had to wait until I got back to the hotel room to check it. Upon inspecting the burrito it is shorter than a spoon in about an inch inch and a half wide for $11.95. The rice had little speckles of black burnt pieces. And whatever they call a burrito is the size of an enchilada. So then I open my taco salad to inspect it so I can start eating automatically I can see there's not much in there the lettuce that is in there is the core tech nasty white pieces, the few green pieces it had. We're already turning a mushy glossy color. The diced tomatoes in it were so small in mushed they look nasty. It also had purple cabbage in it. And I didn't know when he told me that the meat and lettuce, tomatoes and cheese sat on top of beans that he literally meant my taco salad bowl was stuck to the plate with a little bit of beans. When I dumped it out because I can't have the taco shell due to being a diabetic. I noticed there was about an inch inch and a half black hair sitting on the lettuce. I immediately called the restaurant, requested a refund, closed it up and took it back to the restaurant. Where I was met by the owner, and I can only assume his wife. That were very rude and told me nothing was wrong with the food and that I could call the police. SMH. I even asked him are you serious? What bad service?. he said there's nothing wrong with their food if it was, he wouldn't be there 29 years. I simply told him I couldn't see how and I wasn't trying to be rude. I took a taste of the rice, a taste of the beans in a taste of the salad, and it was nasty and old. And his wife told me she made the salad today fresh. But it looks like the two dollar bag off the Walmart shelf that's already mixed. Needless to say, I have to wait a week for the money to go back on my card. My sugar is low. I'm out of town and there's nowhere here in this small town that I can find that I can eat at.

Free parking. The food is ok. Not a busy place. One waiter, one cook. Prices are ok. I wouldn't go out of my way to go there.

Camellia's is the best Mexican restaurant. Don't even care when the service is just the one person. It's worth it.

The welcoming atmosphere, lively vibe, and inviting aromas set the tone for a great meal. The food was packed with bold, satisfying flavor, the portions were generous, and the drinks were refreshing and hit the spot. It's the kind of place where you can relax, settle in, and enjoy good food and good company. What made the experience even more special was the history behind the restaurant. As you enter the main foyer, you'll find a chest filled with original menus, newspaper clippings, pictures, and other memorabilia that tell the story of the three men who started Orlandeaux's Café. It's truly amazing to see how much history is preserved there and makes this a must-try spot for anyone who appreciates great food and a meaningful story. My only disappointment was that they didn't have chargrilled oysters. Still, everything else came together for a memorable visit. Next time, I'm going to see if I can sit down with the manager to hear more about the history of this special place. If you're craving flavorful Louisiana cooking in a comfortable, enjoyable setting, Orlandeaux's Café is well worth the stop we'll definitely be back!

The…read morerestaurant is small and cozy and we arrived early and were given plenty of time to visit We ordered the Caesar salad and calamari as appetizers, I enjoyed the salad - very large and fresh. I passed on the calamari but it looked delicious and the portion was very large. For entrees i had the halibut - pan seared almond crusted halibut, Parmigiano risotto, kale and cherry tomato sauté. The halibut was delicious, came out HOT but not overcooked or dry which is incredibly difficult for a fish dish and was a nice change. My guest had the red snapper - grilled snapper, Yukon scalloped potatoes, crabmeat, lemon garlic cream, crispy spinach and she enjoyed it immensely For the ending we split the peanut butter pie. My Confession - I love sweets ! There , I said it! And confessing, this was the best peanut butter pie ive ever had. Peanut butter was whipped and light, nice crust and just enuff chocolate to add the cocoa dimension Service was great from my guy Lawrence and the price of dinner was acceptable for the quality. I look forward to visiting again
