Me and my family are back in New Orleans, Louisiana, when we got this DM. You can pause to read if you would like to.
I got it. Let’s try it. Ready? 9:59. We spent eighty-six dollars and seventy cents. The customer service, my family said, was good. The only thing personally, I wish they had a website. The website that they have posted up doesn’t work. I did find a menu on Yelp, and I love their prices. I feel like that’s the price anywhere in Louisiana so far.
I’mma show you everything I got, and we gonna try it and rate it 1 to 10.
A birria pizzeria. Elote, or Mexican street corn, happy hour nachos. A big fish platter, which is catfish and shrimp. My wife and my sister gonna try this because the shrimp is such an “I love catfish fantasy.” Steak tacos, jerk chicken taco, and a bag of chips for the nachos.
I have no idea where I’m about to start, but this is a birria pizza. It’s a quesadilla, but it’s filled with birria meat, cheese, and topped with sauce. There are two different sauces on the side—two consumptions, two green sauces, and two limes. And oh, oh! It’s steak on one layer, birria meat on another layer, and then cheese in between both of those layers. So, it’s two different meats in this. This is only $25, and you get four huge pieces. Oh my God, it’s like a lasagna? Yeah, it’s about to be one of them ones if it’s good, I ain’t gonna lie.
Consummate.
And she said they’re struggling to the point where they’re super slow. How many people were in there when you went in? Six. Six people in the middle of the day, and it’s Thursday afternoon off. The taste, I’m even more confused. This is fantastic. It is salty, but to be expected with this amount of meat and seasoning and sauces. That meat is tender, with peppers and all kinds of seasonings and spices. This green salsa, boy. 9.4 out of 10 with the green salsa, because it has the perfect amount of spice. You wanna taste the runny? I can pass it back. Get that away from me. Damn, I didn’t even sprinkle no lime either. She gonna keep that pizza back there with her.
See about that. Oh, that thing charred, is filled with butter. This whole container. That’s not elote at all. That is buttered corn with some seasonings and some cheese. It’s good, though. For it to be Mexican street corn, I give it a 3 out of 10. For it to just be corn, I give it a 6 out of 10.
These are the jerk chicken tacos. It’s a pineapple salsa with some kind of sauce that they make in-house. Jerk chicken. I see tomato, cilantro, onions, and cheese. This thing is stuffed like it’s falling apart, bro. They seasoned that meat so well. None about this is jerk. This is a chicken taco, and it is absolutely fantastic. As a jerk chicken taco, this is a 2 out of 10. As a chicken taco, this is a 9.2 out of 10, because nothing about it is jerk. I don’t taste no spice, no rub, no earthiness. I just taste really seasoned chicken, marinated and seasoned to the bone.
Is it the marketing? Is it the food? Or is it the customer service? I’ve only had three things, and just these two. I’m not counting all day. Just these two alone—around the corner. I haven’t said that in so long. Around the corner. I’m talking about out the door, for sure.
You’re right on. These are steak tacos. I think it’s the same as the jerk chicken, as far as the toppings. This one’s still good, but it’s a little saltier than the other one, and it’s not as much flavor. It’s right in the middle for me, though. 5 out of 10.
These are nachos now. Again, I ain’t never seen nachos like this before. I don’t know what’s all in here—peppers, meat, cilantro, and obviously cheese. That’s probably the top ingredient. It’s more like a Rotel, if you ask me. This is some hood business, haha. I’m personally not a huge fan of this, but I know this has a target audience for sure. It’s extremely seasoned, with a lot of flavor. It’s just a little salty in my opinion, and it just tastes like cheese. For me, this is right in the middle again—5 out of 10 overall.
Just the chicken tacos and the pizza alone, this might be one of them. All I can say is after this, I pray and hope that they reach their target audience. And in this case, I have no doubt that they will.
God bless you. Have an amazing day. Y’all be safe.
