2/28/22 dined here for the first time around 1:20 P.M.
It was not too busy–the other patrons placed their orders and the chef was making everything fresh to order in front of our faces.
This place is quite unique! It definitely hits the spot!
The chef had a very friendly smile and he assured us that he would be with us as soon as he cranked out the previous made orders.
1. The gumbo–YUMMY!!!!!!! Very good with the cilantro rice!!!
2. The black beans–quality black beans–cooked very well.
3. The steak street taco–OH MY!!!! THE meat that he uses must be some of the BEST on the market.
4. The Butternut Squash!!! Yummy!!!!!!!!!!!
I will definitely be back. Fresh and quality food prepared with !
I wish he would add groundmeat tacos to the menu.
Be patient with him. He is the only worker at this time.
The wait is well worth it!

Half way between Mobile AL and Dallas TX we needed lunch and AI said stop here. It was perfect. Amazing food, great service and sat outside to enjoy some fresh air before continuing our long road trip. A great break. Thanks.

Great little spot with awesome tacos, sandwiches and specials in a cool historic storefront. Great flavors, great quality and good portions – all courtesy of Brad, the owner. While you’re there, check out the local art for sale on the walls.

Lovely little restaurant! Lots of menu options, including several good vegetarian options. My husband loved his shrimp and corn bisque. Fresh and healthy food from a local business.

A little jewel tucked away in downtown Alexandria. The menu is small and the focus lies on creating delicious food. I’ve tried the BLT and Cuban (pictured) sandwiches, and look forward to going back and sampling burritos and salads. Definitely worth your while if you find yourself in the neighborhood and crave something fresh!

It’s a nice, small café in downtown Alexandria. There’s seating available inside and out. It definitely reminds me of the kind of small town café I grew up going to where the staff is super friendly and personable! You can tell the community loves them by the amount of to-go orders and customers that are on first-name basis with the staff. There’s also artwork for sale inside!

Cleanest cafe in downtown Alex. Great food, the chef is a graduate of the Culinary Institute of America. Lots of local and New Orleans art on the walls- some for sale. Pictured is the Mediterranean panini and past salad.

Stopped in after a few years away, as good as ever. One of my favorite cafes anywhere. Gumbo, tacos, burgers, quesadillas. Love it all.
