    Shrimp quesadilla

    We just experienced the BEST Mexican meal was have had in ages. I had the shrimp quesadilla (see photo) which was full of grilled to perfection large shrimp- you could not take a bite without shrimp! My husband had a chicken chimichanga which was equally impressive! The total price was ~$42 for our meals which also included 2 margaritas, queso dip, and 2 tacos to go. We will be back!!!

    Steak and Shrimp Fajitas!!!! Super Fresh!

    At first I couldn't tell if it was open .... I was pleasantly surprised to find a very clean restaurant and the staff was friendly and attentive. The steak and shrimp fajitas melt in your mouth fresh. As a full time traveler for work, I definitely recommend!

    Taco salad

    We ordered through WAITR and had a terrible experience. No tortillas were given with the fajitas. The taco salad was terrible and had hardly any lettuce. The only reason I gave two stars is because the cheese dip was edible, but the chips were hard.

    3 meat fajitas with the fixings!

    It was cinco de mayo and packed! I still only waited 20 minutes after ordering for two orders of fajitas (3 meat)Texanas and a cup of tortilla soup. It was packaged well in aluminum plates which helped the food to stay warm and fresh until we made it home! The tortilla soup was tomato based which doesn't do well with my acid reflux but really tasty not salty so that's a plus. I'd return again when I'm in Hammond and hopefully eat in next time.

    First less than stellar experience. Came in for lunch and the food was great... the guacamole on the other hand was old... and obviously so. We sent back our order of extra gaucomole hoping for a remake, but none was offered. He even brought more of the old stuff on my fajitas plate, also sent back. The pina coladas were out and the strawberry margaritas ran out after the first one... hope this place isn't going down already! Lowered two stars. Previously... Just visited again and everything was great, upped my rating! Previously...We heard that this was opened by the same people that previously owned El Tapatio... which was one of our favorite tex-mex spots for years. Our party of 5 was seated immediately and the service was great and friendly. They brought plenty of salsa, but it just didn't have the zing it used to have... a little too much on the tomatoes. The fajitas were great portions as usual for a great price. The chicken, steak and shrimp were all top quality meats. The kids had quesadillas, both shrimp and chicken... and seemed satisfied. The youngest had a kid's nacho plate with added jalapeños. Our adult drinks were great too. So... definitely worth a visit... the salsa is not as it was before... but that's just my opinion. We'll be back soon.

Which is saying a little, because there is so much to choose from! There are regular house made popsicles, milk based popsicles, these run the range from the ordinary to the extraordinary, co raining fruit, sprinkles, etc! They aren't just good, they are also pretty to look at. The menu also includes lots of cool and unique offerings that I will hopefully get around to trying. But for me the star was the freshly homemade ice creams! We had two very particular young ones with us, and they both devoured their vanilla and Reese's flavors! The hubby had a banana split, which he enjoyed immensely! I am not a big ice cream person. Normally don't eat it but maybe once a year. But I got a sample of the Pecan. Needless to say I got a scoop and are every single drop of it!! For me, that's unheard of! Also, this was a HUGE one scoop of ice cream!! It was so creamy and delicious! You could taste the that it was freshly made without a bunch of chemicals etc like store bought brands. And I cannot fail to mention the really neat color changing spoons!! I think I liked them even more than the kids! lol! Add all of this to a convenient locate with a fun cool vibe, it's a total WIN!!! Highly Recommended!!

Given that this was my first time here, I did not know what to expect. I ordered a "Bananas Foster" chocolate and was given a sample of the cranberry truffle and drooled over the house-made gelato (perhaps I will get some next time). Biting into the "Bananas Foster" chocolate took me by surprise, but in a good way! At that exact moment, I felt like me and the chocolate were the only ones left in the world... it was an experience! The texture was like slightly caramelized brown sugar, kicked up with some banana flavoring. It was the most enjoyable experience I have ever had with a truffle! I loved it so much that I was ready to turn around and buy and entire platter of that specific kind. Banana is not always my go-to flavor, but I wanted to live a little, so I ordered this one and not for a second was I disappointed with my choice. I am curious to know what others have with that same texture because that was exquisite! Plus, it was dark chocolate, so that always adds plus signs. If you have ever had bananas foster, you will appreciate this truffle because it embodied everything about that dessert that I love. As for customer service, I would not expect anything less than superb and that is exactly what I got. The young gentleman behind the counter was patient and very informative. I will definitely be back and next time I am getting gelato with my chocolate! * Baton Rouge made truffles * Baton Rouge made gelato * Chocolate cafe * Chocolate shop in Baton Rouge *
