To be fair, I'm from Houston where "Viet Cajun" is king when it comes to that crave able combination of Louisiana Cajun/ Vietnamese seasoning that is combined to create pure major with crawfish/ crab seafood delights. So being compared to that delectable taste profile , although a decent attempt at good , this fell way short from great. I got the L1 bag with the house spicy sauce that included crawfish ( that were still too hard in the shell) , mussels, (that were pretty good, but a little past al dente to my liking) and shrimp that were big, but also over cooked like rubber band texture). Also the cheese sticks had no cheese pull...I still gave it 3 stars however for the very friendly service and nice atmosphere.

We were driving back to Houston from our trip to Little Rock for a wedding. The wedding was…read moreawesome. So we pulled into a huge parking lot. Pro tip there is a huge amount of road construction around the restaurant so plan accordingly. We were greeted and sat promptly. Karen our server came and greeted us and got our drink order. I went to the restroom, it was clean but in need of a cosmetic upgrade. The restaurant itself was clean and had a Louisiana feel. My wife ordered the Salmon med rare, and she said it was excellent. I ordered the shrimp quesadillas and I was impressed by the buttered flavor of the flour tortilla that was crispy on the edges. I also was pleased with the amount of shrimp and cheese. The guacamole and the pico were fresh and tasty. For appetizers tried the Pistolette and were not overly impressed. The Boudin Balls and sauce were very good. I think they could have been a little spicier, but they were great. The bread pudding was just average in my opinion, but my wife loved it. My wife and I agreed that this will be one our go to stops when driving through Lufkin.

Having humble & genteel personality while being a menu wizard, she made me feel right at home with her hospitality. My Oysters Royale cooked by Michael were fantastically perfect & delicious. I should've gotten the dozen instead of the 1/2. Being it's my first time, I had to make sure they were on point first & they were! I loved the charro bean side that came with rice & sausage bits topped with pico. The hush puppies are decent with some garlic butter you might want to dive into like it's the Summer Olympic swimming relays. The music and atmosphere was nice & festive. The booths are comfortable & being solo, the 2 person sized ones were perfect for me. Lufkin has a mainstay that most towns would be jealous to have. Come eat here & leave satisfied. Bring all your friends! You can't go wrong here with Tia Jaunita's. You just might want to camp out here.

From what we could see, the kitchen looked clean and the drive-thru area was well kept. After a few minutes looking over the menu, a sweet young lady took our order and asked us to pull forward to the waiting area. About 20 minutes later, she brought out our food, explained how everything was packed, and we headed home. Once we got home, we were impressed with how nicely everything was packaged. We ordered the crawfish chowder--excellent, creamy, and loaded with meat and veggies! We also got the boudin egg rolls, which were large, crispy, and very tasty. And then the King Trio: King crab legs, Dungeness clusters, shrimp, potatoes, and corn. There was a great amount of King crab, and we added an extra Dungeness cluster, so it was definitely plenty of food. Everything was cooked perfectly, though a few bites were a bit salty--but still delicious. We'll definitely be going back to try more dishes... and we won't try to walk in next time! Bring cash for a tip! I didn't a felt really bad... I'll hook her up next time!

It comes with fries ,coleslaw and multiple catfish fillets. And considering they were only 30 mins out or so from closing, it was piping hot and very tasty. The only reason I didn't t give 5 stars was because I asked for the catfish to be fried crispy, and it was NOT.. But otherwise I'm glad I stopped in!

However I ordered a to-go order of 2 piece fish/ 2 shrimp from here, and my fish was rubbery , my hush puppies were over cooked, and my shrimp seemed to be fried in flour and had a very off putting color and texture, I believe because they fried the shrimp in a flour batter and not cornmeal???( WHY)?? Also the coleslaw was watery.. In the same order was an order of lemon pepper chicken that looked dreadful and over fried in a very dark color....( weird) not looking at all like lemon pepper wings I've ever had before. And a burnt piece of bread/ biscuit or whatever it was.. Sadly I will not be back...

The Tex-Mex options here involve your normies such as enchiladas, quesadillas, burritos, fajitas, nachos, and tacos. All of these (or a combination of these) are part of the express lunch menu which is what we usually order. Most of the time, people in our group get some sort of enchiladas with the favorites being the avocado or the verde due to the sauces and cheesiness mixed in. The avocado is probably my favorite since I'm an avocado lover with the taste and texture. Other favorites are the street tacos where it comes with three tacos and the rice and beans. These tacos are quite large so it's not the traditional mexican street tacos with the onions/cilantro on the miniature tortillas. They are also packed and I mean PACKED with proteins; I've only gotten the al pastor cause I keep coming back to it. Something about it that makes it addicting with the tenderness of the meat and spices. We'll have to try dinner here sometime cause they have quite the selection of entrees such as the drunken shrimp, fajita platter, and pollo poblano. Bueno Trabajo Herraduras!
