Only reason this place didn't get 5 star's is, because it's casual dining atmosphere. Good food, service and family oriented. Just steer clear on May 5th. It's definitely a mob scene that day and for good reason.

I cannot recommend this place enough. Our waiter Marlin was just fantastic and knowledgeable about the menu. He told me that the gulf coast seafood enchiladas was one of his favorites but it was going to be heavy. He was 100% spot on for that. But damn, Cajun and Mexican fusion... Nice. I am definitely coming back here the next time I'm in Delaware.

I ordered take out fajitas from here after work and the taste of the food was fine, but the meat was incredibly spicy! I understand spice is part of the cuisine, but it was completely inedible. Not sure if that’s just how it’s made or if the person on prep seasoned too heavy, but there’s no indicator on the online menu saying it was that significantly spicy. I ended up throwing the meal away.

Eventful and excellent food and service, just wish our waiter was better. Seemed depressed, or more like he was just trying to 'get through' the day. Sad. Bur really great food and soda. And chips.

I had not been in years, but was sadly disappointed as the food was definitely not as good as it used to be. The portions were so small for the Fajitas, and the chicken and steak were both dried out l; not hot like you expected from fajitas. The side of rice has gotten so small, and looked burnt with nothing besides seasoning. The food was ok. Only plus was the servers were promt and nice.

We do not live in the area anymore so whenever we are in a roadtrip that could possibly bring us by this establishment, we always make sure to stop. The service is phenomenal. The food is delectable. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming! There’s no place like this one. It’s been almost ten years since we lived around this restaurant, and we go out of our way to come to it whenever we’re on roadtrips.

Great food. Was reasonable pricing. But prices have gone up. The menu has also shrunk. One of my favorite places to eat. I hope it doesn't get too pricey. Very consistent. Kids love it too. Great kids menu. Dining room is loud. Bring back the Creole food, peppers with fajitas, and Jim Bowie steak, please!
