First impressions are awesome! Place is decorated very well and it looks really cool when you walk in. The service was very lackluster. The waiter seemed irritated to be there and did not come off as very friendly. If you want chips and salsa….pay for it…chips were ok, queso ok, salsa was overloaded with cumin. We ordered several different tacos and street corn. Every taco seemed to be lacking decent seasoning, from the tuna, Cuban, Caroline, cowboy up and birria were very under seasoned. The birria consume made them even worse, it was the worst consume I have ever tasted. My boy really liked his big clucker tacos and my youngest liked the Mac n cheese taco. My wife and inhad margaritas and my first sip was pure water. I used a straw to taste the margarita, but it was not very good for sure…..A+ for decor, F for everything else.

Decided to stop here for lunch since I was passing through Peoria. There was a long wait to even be greeted and seated. To the point that a couple arrived 15 minutes before me and went next door instead.

I would like to support local businesses when ever I can, but one of the taco I had here was horrible. I got 3 tacos 1. Two Good (4.5/) – which was really delicious. The crunch, the sauce everything was good. 2. Quesabirria (4/5) Nice flavor but a tad bit dry but good. 3. The Big Katuna (2/5) – This was recommended by an employee. The fish on this taco was spoiled. I could not finish my bite. They should have checked before serving it to the customers. I also got the street corn, which was ok. The place was decent and had a nice decor. But my Togo order took more than half hour for these 3 tacos. They really need to improve on the food they serve.

Tons of different variations of tacos, definitely something for everyone. I had to try the fried mac and cheese taco because it sounded way too good to be true, and it was honestly divine. Packed full of flavor, and the mac and cheese bites had a nice crunchy outside with a soft and forgiving inside to them. I also had a buffalo chicken taco, which was really well made, and a general Tso’s chicken taco, which was interesting, but somehow works out well. Good prices, quick service, welcoming atmosphere. Place is a true gem.

Went to Cayenne on a surprisingly busy Monday and was wonderfully surprised by the whole experience. The food was excellent, drink specials were delicious, but the real star was the service. Nick was amazingly attentive and so entertaining! His sense of humor and laid back yet professional demeanor were a refreshing and unique experience. If you go, be sure to ask for him!

The waitstaff was super nice and it only took 20 minutes to order, get our food, appetizer and drinks. The frozen margarita was very watery – would not recommend, and the chips were tasteless and not anything special. We got 4 tacos: the Marci gras one (shrimp), the tso chicken one, the Mac n cheese one, and the BBQ pork one. My favorite was the BBQ. All the tacos are what I would describe as “watery” – very heavy on the sauces. The Mac n cheese one was so watery that it was a bit unpleasant in taco form. The shrimp one was fine, but our least favorite actually! The BBQ is so good; next time I’ll just two of those, skip the chips and marg, and I’d come again. Loved all the unique ideas for the tacos!!

Nice selection of out-of-the-norm tacos! The food was great! So was the street corn! I preferred the pulled pork tacos over the brisket tacos, the brisket just didn’t quite do it for me. The service was decent. They weren’t too busy around 8:45 or so but they brought us waters, came back and asked if we were ready to order. I guess at that point we could have ordered drinks off the menu but the waiter didn’t take a drink and appetizer order first before asking what we were having, so we went without drinks and just had water even though the drink menu looked good. Quick service, good food, great atmosphere. Overall a good experience and would return!

Not impressed with the food. The burrito I ordered was to be brisket-I am pretty sure it was Chuck roast. Others in my parry were unhappy with the special of the day-strak tacos-the meat was way overcooked -Mac n cheese taco looked skimpy-however, our servers were great

The food was decent but our server Nicholas was very friendly and attentive and had a great sense of humor. The frozen margs he made us were excellent as well.
