Main complaints... There was no one available to greet and seat us at the entrance. You have to walk through an area of people dinning to another entryway to cashier. A greeter for the first door to seat us and get drink orders right away would make this establishment solid. (With a few handicap cosmetic fixes to outdoor patio and parking lot) Waitress checked on us often but seemed in a rush. Possibly due to the distance between tables. We sat in first dinning area. Her tables aside from ours were inside the second entryway. (Big distance between and no open view to the other side.) Not her fault. She was definitely doing her best. The food? Well the Queso GROSS! I was regretting going once I saw the Queso wasn't what I expected but when my crab nachos hit the table and I took my first bite YUM but I ordered crab only no lettuce or peppers with sliced avocado instead of guacamole. I was served crab and shrimp and peppers.🤦🏼♀️ ( I have ulcers in fact I had just been discharged from hospital) I'd been searching for crab nachos for weeks and am very picky about certain dishes. They were very generous with the REAL crab meat! It was worth it even though I had to pick through it. My S.O. had tacos and was satisfied with his meal and the service. Please change your Queso recipe! The cheese is a huge no! Cheap cheese that doesn't melt well with other ingredients. You can see in photo we ate the chips as our appetizer but the Queso bowl is still full. 🤷🏼♀️

TEX MEX + CAJUN FUSION!? I heard stories of a place based in Beaumont called “Tia Juanita’s Fish Camp” that is doing a fusion I have never come across before: Mexican + Cajun. Story goes that a man named Ricky Martinez opened the first one in 2014 in Beaumont and since then they have expanded with locations all over Southeast Texas. I went to the original location to check it out! The place has “come as you are” vibes with a ton of bright colors and several frozen beverage machines behind a bar. The menu was better than I had imagined with items like Fried Cajun rolls stuffed with shrimp étouffée, smoked boudin balls, fried alligator, Boudin Quesadillas, Blackened Redfish Pontchartrain and some wild looking Cajun seafood enchiladas. You may not visit this place if you are trying to make amazing dietary decisions, lol. Jessica actually found some healthy items on the menu with some searching! The whole concept was just FUN and I found myself wishing we had one here in DFW, somewhere in the area. Maybe that will happen one day! If you haven’t checked then out already Tia Juanita’s is a refreshing twist on Tex-Mex that feels authentic to the blended cultures and cuisines of southeast Texas. Highly recommended!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

What a fun atmosphere...we really liked the vibe! We're on our way to Florida, staying overnight and stopped in for dinner. So glad we did. Everything we tried was delicious. Dinner for the 2 of us was one Pistolettes, 2 large boudin balls, 1/2 lb. of boiled jumbo shrimp, a cup of seafood gumbo and some of the best char-grilled oysters we've ever had...yum!! The Pistolettes roll is crispy on the outside and filled with a nice, spicy shrimp etoufee. I could have had 2, but then I wouldn't have had room for anything else. The shrimp were HUGE...2 bites per shrimp huge. The cocktail sauce included a dollop of fresh horseradish on top. I did have to wait a bit for the shrimp...turns out it didn't get entered into the system. Our very apologetic waitress, put the order in and kept an eye on it to make sure I got it ASAP. She had such a sunny disposition that you couldn't possibly get mad...we enjoyed chatting with her. The boudin balls had lots of flavor, but are reeeeally filling. The gumbo was loaded with shrimp and flavor. Oh, we got bread pudding to go...wonderful, rich and dense. Thanks for a great meal and friendly, happy service!

To be honest it seems most places that serve "sea food" are kinda pricey. But what got me was how hot my plate was. I'm all for adding cheese on already melted cheese dish, but to microwave to melt the shredded.. not a good idea. Food was good. My partner and I got the alligator bites, jumbo shrimp, and me some spicy beef nachos. My dish was burned, the meat was over cooked, they seem to have used the same pan to fry all the meats. I could teast the fish in my beef. The fries in the shrimp basket were just bad.. they poured season-all all over it, you could feel the greas in them as you bite into them.. Our waiter only greeted us, asked about the food once, then the rest of the time walked right past us without even making a mention to us. I'd rather not name names, but that was lacking in service. All around it looked clean, food was okay. But I don't think I'll ever go back there. Dishes were expensive for how it was presented.

What a wonderful place. Pet friendly. Fun, laided back atmosphere plus great food. And what a selection. It really is a mexican fish camp. The menu is vast with your favorite Mexican items plus your favorite seafood options. And some interesting combinations! I had the shrimp tacos and the seafood nachos for the table. The tacos were very good, but the nachos were very special. Great assortment of tastes and flavors. Not spicy, but cheesy and delicious with excellent crab and shrimp throughout. Jalapeños were served on the side. Parking can be a challenge, especially on busy nights. Service was excellent. We had three or more waitpersons stop by to check on us. It was not too busy. I can appreciate that if it were crazy busy, service might be an issue. But they staff was very attentive and seriously wanted us to be happy. I am looking forward to returning. I want to try the oysters on the half shell.

wow I was absolutely blown to bits, absolute bits. the gator tacos and the cajun girl poboy did something to my head, i think. the doctors said they have told me there was nothing they could do nothing came up on the scans or in all of my blood but i’m almost positive something is changed after and it’s actually been so hard to explain what it is what it is to anyone because there is just no word for it on line or on wikipedia it feels like Freaky Friday movie where there is a new person’s personality in my brain but i still have all my child memories, and no not two personalities, thought, it’s like my old personality the who i was my whole life maybe just went away and i feel like i’ve only been here for a week and i am new. the potato salad you have to try, they do it right.
