The best Cajun food ever. (Outside of New Orleans). Best lamb chops in life. I don’t even eat shrimp and I ate the shrimp. It’s seasoned to perfection. The pictures don’t do it justice. We had the Cajun pasta, blackened fish, and dirty rice as well. All amazing and worth every dollar.

This is a hidden gem, that needs not to be hidden anymore. If you love Cajun food and want authentic without traveling to Louisiana. This place is it. Everything we had was phenomenal and full of flavor. Try it once and you'll be back.

New to Arlington and already been here twice! I was so excited to get my plate the last time, I ran into a pole and checked on the plate first. From the Oxtails to the Salmon Pasta, there's nothing you can order here that you won't enjoy. Everything is always made to order and seasoned like your mama made it. 10/10 recommend

Rain or shine, this food truck delivers! I called ahead due to the stormy weather, and to my delight, they were open! From the moment I arrived, the owner and staff were incredibly welcoming, providing top-tier customer service and answering all my questions. As a proud Mobilian, I told them their food had a high bar to clear—and wow, did they ever exceed it! My husband went with the Chicken Cajun Pasta, while I devoured the Lamb Chops & Cajun Pasta. We were both absolutely blown away! The food was delicious and truly far exceeded my high standards. I'm giving this food truck a 100/10! Pro-tip: Don't miss the dessert vendor! We grabbed the Strawberry Crumble Cake, and according to my husband, it was so good it "melted in his mouth."

Homemade smoked boudin yes please. Over was a whole vibe, every order is cooked greasy when ordered. The best lamb chops I’ve ever had. The fried cabbage was banging, I wish I had a whole Plate of it. Garlic mash was also really good. I ordered something from every open vendor at this park and this is the place I’d eat every visit from now on. I’m a food snob and for the quality that came out of this food truck and the love this man had for his dishes 5star all day long.

If you live for real soul food, this is a MUST visit for you! We stopped by here by chance and came upon these amazing food trucks! We were worried they were closed, but they later explained that due to the heat, they normally keep the order window closed unless a customer walks up (honestly, in this Texas heat, you cant blame them). I was overwhelmed the moment we went to their Instagram to check out their plates, but after much debate, we made our choices. We placed our order, got the buzzer, and went back to our car to wait. They make the food to order and I'll be darned if it wasn't worth it. I'm a HUGE garlic lover (to the point that somd people will complain my tatziki sauce has too much garlic), and their Cajun pasta topped with chicken and blackened shrimp was PERFECT! And the OXTAILS!!! When I tell you that it was perfectly smoked (non of that liquid smoke flavoring) and oh so tender, I am not exaggerating! If you're ever in the area and want to experience the joys of Cajun food, you MUST stop by here. But a heads up, to the spice sensitive, if you have no tolerance for more than salt and pepper, this is not for you.
