The guacamole bowl was fantastic and the so were the mango margaritas. I did enjoy the queso as well. The burrito Suazo was really dry but the cubed chicken was flavorful.

This is a local spot- no frills. Though, I can imagine it being lively on a busy night. Overall, the meal was good. I tried catfish atchafalaya for the first time based on other diners' reviews and the waitresses recommendation. It was a bit salty for my taste, but not terrible. If you have a sensitivity to salt, I wouldn't recommend. My drink, the Electric Alligator, was delicious and well priced! There are daily specials, including AYCE Fish on Sunday for $20.

They do not offer a full menu every day, they only have what's listed on their white board which was disappointing. Everything was good but everyone in our party agreed that it was very salty. You can't come back from oversalting something in my opinion.

I ordered the hot flavor, which honestly tasted more like mild to me, but that ended up being perfect for my taste buds. Just enough spice without taking away from the flavor.

To post this feedback, I had to rate one star to be able to write this piece. I just finished reading 20 or so 1-star reviews and five or six 5-star reviews! It is obvious the "manager/s" don't have a clue and very lucky that the family of 7 or 8 that got so sick didn't hire an attorney, and the manager just shrugged her shoulders stating," nobody else complained is just plain incompetent. I guess it will take someone dying and then getting sued for change to occur and where is the Alexandria Health Dept??? We had been wanting to try the place out, but after what I read...ain't no way.

The food.....let's put it this way, when the 2 moms (we had the grandsons) say it's hard to get the boys to eat and all 3 boys got a cheeseburger and fries and all 3 ate every last bite but a few fries and one of them (7 yr old) says "I want to stop eating but I can't" and they gave it a million The food was fabulous!! I say this about some places but this place was top notch- out of this world-I don't even know how to describe it- I ordered hush puppies, she gave them to us and said "I'll give them to you because yall are Yankees" (She had asked about the boys and told her we were babysitting and from Ohio) The BEST freaking hush puppies I've ever had!!!
