The shrimp was plentiful and crispy, the bread was not your typical baguette, and the sauce was exceptional and completely unique. I even let my 2 year old daughter try it, and she practically finished it for me. She also had some Mac and Cheese.

However, I just had to share my experience with the incredible crawfish étouffée at Jacque Bella's. It was hands down the best I've ever had in my entire life. I was actually at The Thicket food truck park for a bahn mi, but decided to grab some étouffée from Jacque Bella for later. And let me tell you, even when I finally ate it the next day, it was still the most delicious étouffée I've ever tasted. Plus, it only cost me $10 for a large portion, which is unheard of in Austin. I'm not sure if the person who took my order was the owner or a staff member, but they were incredibly kind. Definitely give them a try and trust me, you won't be disappointed. A definite winner for dinner. 12/10.

The po-boy came on a huge square of French bread, with crisp lettuce and just the right amount of what tasted like a spicy mayo or tartar sauce of some kind.. I'm a wuss with spicy food but it was delicious--if you like heat then this is right up your alley! Plus, as someone who is picky with their seafood, i noticed the shrimp were cooked to perfection, and not rubbery, fishy, or vein-y at all. The gentleman running the truck was very kind--the customer service was excellent AND the food was terrific. We will be back for sure!
