Love love loved this place!!! I’d visited years prior but only got a drink! I just hosted my party here ! & babe it was EVERYTHING!!!! My guests and I enjoyed the delicious platters catered by the business! Wings, fried fish, daiquiris it was alll a vibe!! If you want to chill or get some good Louisiana cooking with a daiquiri this here is definitely a Mesquite charm.
Great staff, take care of everyone make you feel welcome!!!

Great customer service.
Food is amazing! The wings were hot, crispy & fried to perfection.
Red beans & rice was on point.
I didn't leave a bean or 1 grain of rice on the plate.
The greens were on point as well.
The cornbread was soft and fluffy.
Definitely recommend this place & will definitely be back.
Keep up the great work!!!

FINALLY SOMEONE WHO KNOWS HOW TO FRY CATFISH!! I moved to Mesquite recently and I’ve been on the hunt for decent fried catfish in the area.
And by decent, I mean the way my Uncle fries it… crispy, not greasy, not fishy, and with CORN MEAL.
Some of yall actually have the audacity to come to Texas and fry fish in flour..
SMDH. I was greeted by ALL of the staff and felt very welcomed and appreciated.
All of my questions were answered and everyone was friendly.
You can tell they’ve spent time and effort not only in perfecting their menu, but also in creating a beautiful and comfortable dining area.
It was very clean and there was no “fried food” aroma in the air.
Classy! You don’t realize how impressive this is until you go to similar restaurants and leave smelling like fried chicken. Now, the food: Boudin Balls - Crispy on the outside.
Great flavor. Catfish Nugget Basket w/ Jambalaya: Fish was fried to perfection, no fishy taste, and not greasy.
Seasoned.
Jambalaya was different from what I’m used to, but it was still good.
Nice flavor with decent amount of shrimp and sausage tossed in.
The basket also came with a corn cob which was surprisingly seasoned very well with some kind of Cajun magic.
I don’t even like corn, but I ate it. Hot Honey Lemon Pepper Wings- So I’m not a fan of wet wings or buffalo sauce but I tried them anyway bc they were recommended.
They were delicious and seasoned well.
The sauce was a perfect spicy/sweet balance and they were cooked just right.
I’ll be trying the dry lemon pepper wings on my next visit. Fried Okra- Best fried okra I’ve had in a very long time.
Ask them to fry it hard.
Delicious! Shrimp- Basic fried shrimp.
But it was fresh and good sized pieces. Fries- Basic crinkled fries, but not greasy and cooked perfectly.
I would’ve loved to have a dash of cajun magic on em.
Maybe I need to request it next time. And they had HUSHPUPPIES!!! Yes Lawd! I’m so tired of these fish places putting “light bread” in my basket!! Thanks for being true to the game! No dessert or Daiquiri this visit but they looked delicious! They have a variety of cakes: Lemon, German Choc, Red Velvet, etc.
They also offer peach cobbler.
I saw numerous daiquiri flavors as well.
I’ll try those when I go back for the lemon pepper wings. The nice lady who prepared my order took the time to show me each of my food items before she bagged it up.
I love that kind of service! She was very sweet and chatted with me.
Mardi Gras Cajun Cuisine-Mesquite has earned my business.
I will definitely be returning and bringing my family and friends to enjoy this local gem.
Thank you! Great job! Keep it up!
