This truck pulled by an apartment complex near me and I LOVE cajun food so I got a haul of goodies…read more I got red beans & rice, gumbo, crawfish etoufeé, bread pudding, and king's cake soda. I regret not buying more of the soda lol it was good af. The red beans & rice from a purely objective standpoint was the most well made savoury dish of the three. Super flavourful, I'm just more of a seafood girl but would get this again. Loved the crawfish etoufée, it was FULL of crawfish. The gumbo was a delish flavour bomb. Wish it was a little chunkier (with okra pieces or something) but keep in mind that sauces that use crab/certain fish these goodies dissolve in the sauce, so I knew based on the flavour it was full of goodies. The bread pudding was da bomb dot com, but keep in mind it has raisins if you're not into raisins. I got extra butter rum sauce, which was a good move to make. I hope they pull up in the area again soon :) I followed them on Instagram (batonroux) The staff is friendly. Your food might take some time to make so you better not be in a rush when you place an order here.

I drive by Chilpayas everyday and decided to give it a try for a quick dinner the other night. All…read moreI can say is WOW and I cannot believe I've been missing out on this goodness. We tried the fish tacos with chipotle sauce - the chipotle sauce was unbelievable. We also had the pescadillas, which were fried tortillas filled with fish, and some rice and beans. Everything was made fresh and so tasty. I thought the prices were fair. The service was great, as well. The owners were so kind and helpful, answered all of our questions and even gave us a sample of their delicious crab soup. If you like seafood, I'd definitely give it a try.

Excellent food So many choices. Definitely will return …read more It is all seafood but in so many ways

Mmmm. So glad they returned to our community. We *really* enjoy their fried shrimp and catfish…read morewith light seasoning! And the hush puppies are straight- forward, too. No onions or peppers. Yea! A lot of the other items are too spicy for us. For example, the crab cake didn't have a lot of filler (yea) but we couldn't taste the crab for all the cajun seasoning. And let me reiterate how great the StreetFoodFinder app is. We ordered online from our comfy couch. The app kept us updated as to when our order could be expected. We were even able to schedule pickup for a later time, not just ASAP. BONUS points for the ordering app!

So, I consider myself a pretty strong foodie. Have lived in downtown Chicago for a decade, eaten…read moreall over, overseas, hit the food scenes in LA, Miami, New Orleans, NYC, Boston, Atlanta, even the nearly unknown Des Moines, Iowa food scene. This is below average cajun seafood. Charging $15 for weird chicken tenders sprinkled with seasoning after frying and old stale fries is robbery. The Gumbo, would embarrass New Orleans or anyone who has been there and that is if you didn't crack your teeth on the shells they bury in the soup and take the tails of the shrimp in a soup. The Mac and Cheese was solid, so I will give them that, but not show stopping. The hibachi bowl was thrown together and overly sauced to confuse your palate and hide from the fact that it is not worth the $25 they charge. If you want to charge sit down restaurant prices provide sit down restaurant quality and flavor and I will gladly pay it. Or price it down so expectations might be met. At your price point, you are just taking advantage of hungry people.

We went to Tampa for a concert and it got out late so I went on TikTok to see what spots Tampa had…read morethat were open late night and came across a video praising this food truck for great late night food. So we stopped by. They are parked in front of a strip club so I knew the food would be a hit . The menu is very straight forward. I wasn't as hungry as I thought I would be and I didn't want to order and waste food so I ordered the appetizer cracking orange chicken. My friends ordered the egg rolls , potstickers & bang bang shrimp & we shared across all of us. Everything was delicious. If I had a bigger appetite I would have ordered the hibachi and I would definitely order the bang bang shrimp again , I would even order the bang bang chicken too. If you're looking for some good late night food check out this food truck. It was great customer service & it didn't take very long for the orders to be made. The ambiance is outside of a club so it felt safe and busy.

I was in Tampa for the weekend and ran across this place while searching for barbecue chicken. The…read morereviews on Google Maps are what originally made me look twice. People were not only raving about how good the food was, but the hospitality and customer service. As a former service industry veteran, great customer service goes a long way in my book. First of all, I actually had the pleasure of meeting Mel (the owner). He's so sweet and he takes great pride in his business. He already had a line when I pulled up around 2pm on a Saturday, but he kept it moving. BBQ chicken is my go to at any cookout, so l ordered Mel's chicken dinner. It comes with two sides, but l added an extra side bc we eat leftovers over here. The chicken was cooked perfectly and he gave me a couple of sauces to try. (Highly recommend asking him about his homemade sauces!) The sides were also amazing. My favorites were the baked beans and the collard greens. He uses smoked turkey in his greens like my dad does and I cleaned my bowl. If you're ever looking for BBQ in Tampa, FL remember to look for Big Mel in the yellow food truck on Nebraska Avenue. He offers catering as well, so be sure to reach out and support your local businesses!

I went today and he was short on help but it didn't stop him from getting the food out to customers. I could smell the aroma of bbq as soon as I turned into the parking lot. Since it was my first time I ordered the ribs sandwich and the pulled pork sandwich. I was impressed with the portions for the price of $22.00 for both. Mel, keep doing what you're doing sir because you're doing something special and we're looking forward for seeing you in Brick and Mortar very soon.. chef Chris

I guess that's expected with a food truck. They played fun music and were friendly. I'd try several of the sandwiches because many looked good! Side note: the dressing kinda spilled out of the sandwich. So eat over a plate or just not over your lap!

Overall, the food was good and satisfying. The dirty rice and mac and cheese were flavorful, and I have no complaints about the sides. The only thing I personally didn't care for was the collard greens, as they were a little too spicy for my taste. I had seen some mixed reviews before ordering, but honestly, for a quick evening dinner, the meal hit the spot. The food was hot, the portions were decent, and it was an enjoyable experience overall. I would order again.

The greens had to many stems as if out the bag as is instead of being cut by hand after pulling them off. The beans were pretty good though. It's a small place primarily take out with a clean lobby and attentive staff that acknowledged patrons coming in the door. That's always a plus for me in a restaurant or anywhere that's truly service focused.
