Cajun Restaurants near El Monte, CA

“Great food and atmosphere!“

“Excellent service. Great food. Highly recommend 🤌🏻“

“Food was good. They accommodated our large party.
Service wasn't so great. The atmosphere was nice and somewhat festive. Bathrooms need work. Too much tagging and graphite on the walls... No wait for the table because they don't do reservations so because of that we got there when it opens at 12pm...“

“This is one of our favorite places ever!! The food is delicious!! Holly is the highlight of our experience we truly love her❤️“

“To be quite honest, the bowls are a great deal for the quality of food and the amount they give you. Washington roll is really good and the miso soup it's more than reasonably priced as well. This is definitely a go to. Off of Telegraph and where Rosemead turns into Lakewood next to the doughnut shop. :p“

“My family and I visited the other day and we will definitely be returning. The food was delicious and the atmosphere was enjoyable the perfect place for a family. The owner and his son were the kindest people and you can tell they take pride in what they are serving. We will definitely be coming back!“

“Located in a vibrant neighborhood, Oyster Dive Bar offers a delightful dining experience with a unique twist on seafood classics. The crispy Cajun fries with cheese are a standout appetizer, perfectly seasoned and crunchy, making them an irresistible starter. The lobster pasta features fresh lobster, expertly prepared and bursting with flavor, showcasing the restaurant's commitment to quality ingredients. The ambiance is cozy and inviting, ideal for both casual outings and intimate dinners. The service is attentive and friendly, adding to the overall enjoyable atmosphere. Prices are reasonable given the quality and portion sizes. However, it's worth noting that the restroom could use more attention; cleanliness was a bit lacking during my visit. Despite this minor drawback, the delicious food and pleasant surroundings make Oyster Dive Bar a recommended choice for seafood enthusiasts looking to enjoy a satisfying meal in a relaxed setting. Overall, Oyster Dive Bar earns four stars for its tasty dishes, friendly service, and comfortable ambiance. With a few improvements in cleanliness, it could easily become a five-star dining destination.“

“Honestly love when we get to go here. The food is fantastic. The hospitality is so kind. The whole place is such a vibe and lovely people. We had the friend chicken and the shrimp and grits. We got the gumbo and biscuits to go so we could have them for breakfast the next morning.“

“It’s a good locally owned spot in a nondescript area of a strip mall, the dining area inside is a bit small but it has an outdoor dining area. The combos are of good value and the seafood is fresh and tasty. Service is fast and the guy who mans the joint is pretty cool.“

“Good food and great service good for family“

“This is by far one of the best chicken I've had in my life. The Cajun rice is made with love and so tasty! The lovely attentive service from the owner was top notch. Friendly feed at this family favourite. I highly recommend this branch for all your fried chicken, jumbo shrimp and cajun rice cravings. Will be back. Keep up the great hospitality!“

“This is the best Krispy Krunchy hands down. I tried them once before via delivery and was impressed by the freshness of the chicken. Don’t get me wrong, most KK’s have really good fried chicken, but this place seems to have been built with chicken sales in mind. Most others are retrofitted into a gas station convenience store that may or may not have the right room and facilities for making their famous fried chicken.

On top of all that, the service here is top notch. From the store clerk up front to the person making chicken. There was a wait for the wings, but otherwise all good.

Pro tip: call ahead for orders, especially larger ones.“

“Me encantan los camarones y su buena atención“

“Finally got our fix of yummy food🤤🤭“

“Excelente servicio 👌🏼 muy recomendable“

“Food was good. There was a little wait but the server (Derek) was alone. He was very kind and attentive. They were out of garlic noodles but It is a Tuesday after a holiday weekend. We were visiting from up north. Will definitely come back if we we're ever in the area again.

We had mussels, shrimp, tiger shrimp, a lobster, side of garlic butter, fried butterfly shrimp rice and fries and two sodas“

“First time there… my son and his friend took me. Really good food!!“

“The shrimp and crawfish is very good.“

“Food tastes so good hot and fresh!“

“Muy ricos camarones , arroz, papas, y el servicio muy amable.“

“The place was super busy and you can easily tell that the place was WAY understaffed to accommodate the business. With that said, the entire staff was amazing and were super friendly while taking care of everyone who was ready to feast along with the crowd who was waiting to sit. They even had a moment to answer stupid questions from me being from out of town wanting a seafood fix.

Owners: please praise these folks and add some bonuses to their paycheck! They aren't getting paid what they are worth and I’d love to pay their expenses to come work for me in another state to continue their magic. Also, please add a non-butter based sauce in an effort to accommodate diet restrictions and better flavor profiles like competitors.“
