    Mini tacos
    John M.

    Good food, good service and nice. I went through the drive through and it was very pleasant.

    Ok TexMex and Seafood restaurant, but not for me. There were four of us who ordered Mexiacan enchiladas, a Mexican plate, and a couple of bean and cheese tacos. Enchiladas were very good. We even got ones with queso Fresco. Flour tortillas were a bit doughy, and the beans tasted, well, not homemade. The yellow cheese used in tacos and in other enchiladas was unually color. Salsas were too salty. The service was excellent. Unfortunately, I didn't our server's name, but she was very pleasant and patient with those at the table who "needed time". The place is clean and for the most part, welcoming.

    Barbacoa

    Ordered two pounds of barbacoa. Half of it was just chunks of fat. Very disappointing

    Huevos divorciados and the best beans ever!
    Tabby G.

    We come here often, but I cannot reiterate enough to y'all that this place has the best beans in town, not to mention their version of salsa verde is one of my personal favorites, and the best part is you can literally feed 3 people for $20.

    We ordered tacos and they were delicious! The beans were great too. We ordered a side of rice because the plate we ordered didn't come with rice. Service was good, but best to call before if taking to go. Everything is made fresh.

    Monday's #2 special- calabacita como puerco.

    The food here was soooo good!!! The charro bean were amazing! Even my picky parents loved it!! Thee Chile de árbol y cascabel and flour tortillas were delicious, too!!

    Someone have pink or red hair that works here ??

He was attentive but very minimal. I got the oysters david for my appetizer, which was very mid. Basically, oysters and cheese baked with no extra flavor. For entree, I ordered the surf and turf because I needed some red meat. Meat came out very rare when I asked for medium rare. The tart lemon wine cream sauce was okay, but not the best. The mashed potatoes, however, was the best out of the meal. Warning about this restaurant: they charge you an additional 8% food tax on top of regular taxes. This is a huge red flag!

It reminded me of a previous space that now houses a restaurant. It was fairly busy on a Thursday night, reservations were suggested. Our service started with the grilled oysters, spinach, bacon, cheese and seasoning. They were good but not great. The blackened grilled trout with dirty rice was one of the entrees. It was flavorful and a very good dish. The grilled red fish with crab meat, grilled shrimp, tomato, garlic, serrano peppers, and creamy buttery sauce over dirty rice was our other entree. It was tasty, not over-salty, and quite tender. The dirty rice was good but not great. The food at Bourbon Street Seafood Kitchen was good but not memorable. I was not sorry we tried them but also don't feel drawn to return. The decor and setup of the restaurant felt like a temporary pop up with no individuality as to who they are. There was nothing unique about the entire evening. I would hope you would give Bourbon Street Seafood Kitchen and chance and make up your own mind.

My search led me to Nuttin Betta....a fitting name, because you really aren't going to find better Cajun food in these parts of Texas. I ordered carry out online through Uber Eats. The ordering process was easy, and the employees actually read my notes requesting hot sauce and utensils. Attention to detail like that is crucial when you're ordering carry out.

Well today I made it my area cause I came out that way just to eat there. Being from New Orleans I always try to his Cajun spots and support. So was glad to make it in. My son and I were greeted as soon as we came in. We grabbed a seat and they offered us drinks as we waited for his mom to join us. Not a huge place and there was steady business between to go and people sitting in. The music was on point. And there were many relics of home. The pictures of the projects from NOLA on walls on to the bathroom made me pause and take them in. If you know you know. As for the food, my son got chicken tenders, his usual, I got a fried catfish and shrimp plate, a bowl of gumbo, and 3 of the Cajun dry rub wings. My son's mom got a crab and shrimp boil. My son's tenders were legitimately huge. He got 5 and could only finsh three. This is a kid who eats 20 McDonald's nuggets. So they were huge loI I tried the gumbo and the first flavor I got was red beans and rice. But it worked. The roux was more subtle but it had a good bit of shrimp and a lot of sausage. And a couple crab legs. I did enjoy it. Not the best gumbo I've had in San Antonio but I'd still order it every time I eat here. If you get the Cajun dry rub wings, do not inhale before, during or after you eat them. That rub will spice your throat quick lol make sure you drink something in between. But they were fine. The shrimp were fried perfect. The cafish was fried harder than I like. But thats a preference. It tasted great but I like my wings crispy and my catfish just lightly coated. Cause when you eat the tail it's like just a big crunchy with no meat cause it's all fried out. Again my preference. It was still very good and the meaty bits were delicious. I tasted some of the boil and it seemed the seafood might have been boiled then had the sauces poured over it? The shrimp didn't have a lot of flavor on their own unless you dippwdy them in the sauce. My son's mom said she felt like that about the whole boil including the crab. Tasty still tho. Oh their sweet tea, swamp water and kool-aid all get high marks. All in all so glad I came and will be back. Preference things aside it was really good. Maybe when gas prices go down haha jk y'all got a fan.

We told him he needs to lend his talents to some media agencies because we could listen to him read any thing. Je was great. "Joe" was very attentive, helpful, and efficient. We had a large group and he provided amazing service, while taking care of other patrons. Price: We went during lunch time and the price point was GREAT and serving size was more than plentiful.

These two, items were ordered The Salmon piccata and Chicken Scisciano were really good. The Chicken parm and Chicken Alfredo was good, but just okay for me. The Margherita pizza was crispy. Lasagna so flavorful and better than I anticipated. (always a hit or miss for me). I will definitely be back to try other dishes.
