Yelper Jason F. wrote, "The tacos were so good. We ordered the Carne Asada and the pork. My daughter had the chicken burrito and did not want to share it with anyone. The salads were also yummy."

Yelper Steph C. added, "Decadent and flavorful, and whatever they put in those frijoles really hit the spot. I also enjoyed the chicharrones, crunchy pork rinds with guacamole. The aguachile Rojo was a solid ceviche of wild Pacific shrimp and striped bass, cured in lime with chile guajillo, chiltepin, cucumber and topopos."

Yelper LaToya E. wrote, "I tried a couple of drinks and everything was great. I normally hate gin, but the gin and tonic was delicious, and the daiquiri was fragrant in a good way that I didn't expect. The bartender was also pretty great; she was able to describe the drinks in great detail and point us in the right direction when unsure."

3. Creole Soul Restaurant

Yelper Jordan L. added, "We ordered the shrimp po'boys with fries, and they were absolutely delicious! Not only was the food good, but the customer service was A1; they even took the time to explain the menu to us."

Yelper Sergio E. wrote, "They're great! Super friendly staff, free beer every now and then, awesome with kids and a welcoming part of the neighborhood. And, most importantly, they know how to cut hair."
