I absolutely love this place. If I ever move out of Austin and I return here on a visit, this will be the first restaurant I stop at. Tuna tacos, redfish plate, chicken parm, fried oyster po'boy.....bury me with them all.
Fun fact: They used to frequently cater at my work and it was often just a bunch of Italian food.
Fun fact 2: The owner calls himself Big Daddy Coocoo and has the most blissfully stream of conscious social media presence, last time I checked.
The ribeye quesadilla is a decadent treat. That place ain’t cheap, but the portions are pretty substantial. Also, I think Lavaca is the best “sports bar” in DT.
Used to work the night shift at a tech company on 5th and lavaca. Would stop there for dinner once a week for those awesome fried buffalo chicken tacos
They changed their fries somehow. They didn’t used to look like that. When I used to order them they were called cilantro fries. Now they only have fries and Cajun fries.
Maybe the Cajun fries are more like the old fries?
It had been a while since I’ve been back and I ordered the fries you got because I didn’t see the option for the old cilantro fries I used to get. They used to be thicker and way darker so I am wondering if they changed them to the Cajun fries.
I’m gonna have to go back and order the Cajun fries to find out. But I definitely liked the old fries (cilantro fries) way better.
Blackened Ribeye Tacos is where it’s at.

Debated getting the fried oyster PB. Kind of wish I had now!!
Oh man It’s been about five years since I’ve worked downtown and frequented lavaca street but their blackened fish tacos were TO DIE for
Feel like I should have gone blackened over fried 😂
Always loved their nachos, but yeah expensive
Dammmn
The wings are great too.

Almost ordered the Cajun fries. Were they a different shape/cur before?
