    I've never had a bad experience here. Food is always fantastic, service is top notch and the have great margaritas so what's not to love! I can't wait for the weather to get warmer because I want to hang out on the rooftop patio. Inside is great too, lots of tv's for sports fans.

    Birria tacos

    The food here is delicious! I enjoyed the birria tacos - yuummyy!!! Only downside was the service. It took 15 minutes to be greeted and get drinks/utensils. Would still come back for these tacos!

    Bar area with good selection of tequilas.

    Going down the drain?? Very disappointed!! They use the lowest quality of beef for their skirt steak in the molcajete I ordered. Hubby ordered the New York and got three layers of strip steak instead. The seasonings are good but seriously??? NOT a New York steak but charged for it. We asked to speak with the manager, a guy named Tanner with a man-bun and he didn't seem to give a hoot. He apologized but that was it. Have a nice evening!! We will not recommend this place to our friends.

    Reliably good food and service. Full bar with lots of specials. The staff is always very positive and accommodating. My favorite has become the enchilada plate - smothered green, with a side of guacamole. The chips are crispy and perfectly fried - not oily. The salsa has a nice kick. I do recommend going early as they get very busy and have a wait on the weekend. They just opened a roof top seating area that looks very nice.

    I've been here before and I enjoyed it. We were seated in the bar area and watched some football white waiting for our food. The refried beans and salsa was delicious. Unfortunately, that was as good as it was going to get. We ordered the beef taco salad and were disappointed with the serving size at the flavor was just not good. I wish I had the tacos.

    Enchilada Plate (3)

    We went there for first time and really enjoyed the food. We had Enchilada Plate (3) and beef strew which was all good. They had a balloon artist for kids which was so fun. It seems balloon artist come every Wednesday. Not too busy on Wednesday either.

    In the past I have really enjoyed my experiences at Real De Minas! I typically visit the other locations in Montbello and Aurora. I wasn't very impressed with the food or service at this Real De Mina's. I had the Pollo Poblano and it wasn't very flavorful. It was one of those "oh ok" meals. Everyone else in our patty said their food was just ok. While I service was ok, we asked several times for more chips/salsa and everytime we asked we were asked by the waiter if we were "ready to order". It was clear that we were waiting on another member of our party to arrive. Not sure I'll go back to this location. The other locations were better in taste, and overall service.

    The food at this place is ok, but the drinks are bomb!!!! Really really good! The service is on point. I can tell by my own experience they are very nice, the place is super inviting and the music is amazing. Margarita's house were delicious especially during sunset time.

    Always delicious but services is crap.
    Alex L.

    Service is pure crap but at least their food is delicious. I rather go to Los Dos Potrillos for so many reasons. Ambiance is not appealing either. When you walk in, they'll just stare you down. No smile, no greeting, nothing. I would still go in a pinch but definitely not bringing any friends or out of town guests here that's for sure. I rather drive the distance to anywhere else. When you arrive you will be immediately judged. They put all the non-Hispanic customers in the small room by the hostess stand and fill that room first before filling the main dining room. On the flip side and already mentioned, their food is fantastic and always served hot and yummy. Even their chips and salsa are great. I have never had a bad plate of food. Just have to wait 10+ minutes for any drink orders and their disdain shows when you just order water. Your level of service goes down and you will have to wait even longer for any refills, to-go boxes or even your final receipt. I have been with friends, out of town guests and even solo. All those visits have been less than desirable. People keep returning for the food and that's it. I'll space out my visits but doubt I'll be back any time soon from the aforementioned experiences.

    Tostada de camarón
    Jeffry C.

    So I got to check out this place. Sat at the bar which had plenty of seating. I was greeted and helped by Andrea and Alejandro in which we great bartenders: always had a smile, always making sure I had a drink , very very happy with their service. Michilada 9.9/10 Skinny Margarita 9.5/10 I started with the camarón tostada and let me say super delicious , love the kick of jalapeño ( and I don't like spicy to much ) and had so much flavor. I then had the steak fajitas and they were good.. kinda of what to expect from fajitas . Overall this place was a winner when it comes to Mexican food ... I for sure will be coming back

    Micheladas

    Great service, extremely great food and drinks. Some of the best micheladas. Team deserves a raise and kiss on the cheek.

First time in one of Jessie's Smokin' NOLA brick and mortar location, but I have had food off their food truck many years ago. Had the taste of NOLA, which comes with jambalaya, red beans and rice, fried shrimp and fried catfish. It's all delicious, well seasoned and flavors that not many other cajun places have. The fried shrimp and seafood are the standouts. No clue how they get the breading to stick on so thin, yet crispy and perfectly cooked. Shrimp was bouncy, not rubbery. The catfish filet was steaming hot when I took my first bite and very moist. One of the complaints I heard from other friends is that service is slow. They probably only had 2 people working when we went there, so maybe they're just running their staff very lean. You go up to the counter to order, but still had to wait a few minutes for the bartender (who was running around delivering food and bussing tables) to get to the register. The food is absolutely worth the wait and will visit for their other dishes when I'm on that side of town.

We were immediately sat on the patio around 5:45 PM. We were greeted and given "welcome bubbles". What a nice touch. After about 5 minutes, we were finally given menus. Other people were sat around us, so we waited to ask for the happy hour menu. We ordered the chef's choice charcuterie, a cocktail, and a glass of wine. The drinks and board were yum, but not quite a wine bar as there were very limited option by the glass. Also, we had to ask for plates and silverware where this is a basic item. While deciding on dinner, we were approached a couple times by the 2 servers in the section. One was friendly, the other, not so much, rather indifferent and made us feel a little uncomfortable and not very welcome. This kind of set the tone for the rest of our night. We ordered the "family share" chateaubriand. We realize this is an expensive cut, but the portion is definitely not a sharing cut, around 4 oz. It is closer to a single entree. When it arrived, the plate was cold, like the meat was lukewarm and the cauliflower was ice cold. Again, we had to ask for silverware and plates for this "family style shareable" plate. We brought the cauliflower temperature up with the server and got new cauliflower after we were done with the rest of the meal. Also, I sat with an empty wine glass and no one stopped to ask if I needed another glass. When the servers did stop by, it was a short interaction and we never even had a chance to ask before they were already walking away. We saw so many people come in and out that they must be doing something right, but for us, our experience was mediocre. If our meal would have been the correct temperature (it was well prepared, just cold) and better execution on the service, we may have had a better experience.

And within the last few years they redid their dessert menu which upped their game even more. Specifically my husband, daughter and I went here for my husband's birthday recently and it was as good as ever. I always get the blackened catfish. They used to serve it with dirty rice, so I like to add an extra side of this. The red beans and rice that they currently serve it with are delicious, but I don't feel the flavors pair as nicely with the blackened catfish. My husband always orders the chopped salad with fried crawfish. He likes it with the creamy vinaigrette it comes with AND blue cheese dressing. Our waiter accidentally put in an order for a Cobb Salad instead of the Chopped, so when he brought it out we were confused at first. Then we all realized the mistake. He let my husband keep the Cobb while the kitchen hurried to make him his Chopped that he ordered. I've never had their Cobb Salad before but it was really good! The dressing they serve it with tastes a little like a Russian or Catalina dressing, but leveled up--it is delicious. I still prefer the Chopped salad, but the Cobb was still very good. My main complaint is that it's served deconstructed. My daughter got the Pasta Mardi Gras. It was very good too. She realized half way through that there was a lot more sauce on the bottom, so make sure to mix it up well to get all the flavor. My daughter ordered a strawberry lemonade and it was very tasty. HOWEVER, they filled the glass to the brim with ice, so there wasn't a lot of strawberry lemonade in the glass. When she ordered a refill (which you pay a discounted price for) we commented on how much ice there was in the first one and the waiter agreed there was too much and ordered light ice for the refill. I suggest you do this from the beginning. For my husband's complimentary birthday dessert, he ordered the crème brûlée and it was honestly one of the best I've had anywhere. I usually order the key lime pie for dessert here, which is amazing. The one thing I feel they should improve on is the complimentary bread they serve as an appetizer. It tastes like the bread you pay a dollar a loaf for at Walmart. Come on Pappadeaux, you can do better than that! How about bread and dipping sauce along the lines of Carrabbas? Maybe with a Cajun bent to the dipping sauce? That would be more in line with the quality of your food.
