"I have been a patron of Cafe Azteca since they were situated in the back of Overby's Antiques. After that building burned down and they relocated, I continued to visit. Even though I moved away for 17 years, I returned for a visit as soon as I came back. The food is still amazing! While prices have increased since the early '90s, that seems to be the case everywhere. Their salsa and chips are the best I have ever tasted, and they truly serve the best Mexican food in the Jackson Metroplex. Whenever work brings me this way, I always make sure to grab takeout!"

Very good food, but on the pricey side. Different specials every day (check on Facebook). Limited regular menu. Specializes in take out.

Cafe 042 has helped inspire me to go ahead with gender reassignment surgery to become the man I always wanted to be. Plus, the food is really good too. View menu

The restaurant has a terrible odor like old fish. The salsa taste like what I can buy at Walmart. The entree I got was ok. I wanted fajitas, waitress says they are out.

I had a fantastic lunch at this restaurant! The staff were incredibly friendly, and the food was served promptly. The fried dill bowls were absolutely delightful—an excellent addition to an already great meal!

I absolutely love this restaurant! The food is excellent and they offer a different menu every day of the week. I enjoyed a generous portion and everything was spotless. The staff were attentive and friendly. I highly recommend this place! I just wish they were open in the evenings as well. View menu

Bowtie Chicken Pasta is UNBELIEVABLE! In my opinion, the prices are great for what you get. These ppl put time and effort into what they do. It is not a few skillful/frozen precooked special, that is as real and as fresh as it gets. So compared to anywhere different for hot, fresh and much she got it for a good price if u want McDonald's prices go to McDonald's bc that is worth it!!!

The fries were country-style—soft but flavorful. I’d suggest cooking them in two stages for an even better texture. The hush puppies, on the other hand, didn’t contain any onion, which I felt could have added some moisture (perhaps minced onion or whole grain would work well). Nevertheless, they were still quite tasty. Overall, we enjoyed our experience and will definitely come back. Just a quick note: the sidewalk and street conditions were not great, as it seems the city hadn't been up to par with maintenance this week.

"Our experience at Bawarchi was delightful!We had a party of 11, including three kids. We called in while on our way to see if they could accommodate our group without problem and the gentleman on the phone reassured us that there 'd be no problem: "come on over! "They setup tables together for our group, Joseph took care of us for the entire meal, with other staff assisting. The place had a nice vibe to it, everyone very friendly.The food... wow. My fiancée and I have eaten at several Indian restaurants because we love the cuisine. This is competing so far for the #1 spot. In Tampa Bay, the best one so far.We ordered all kinds of dishes, from Chicken Tikka Masala, Lamb Masala, and some delicious spicy shrimp, to tandoori mixed grill which brings an assortment of some of the most delicious meats I 've tasted in Indian cuisine. The chicken noodles were absolutely delicious. The season rice that accompanied several dishes was so good! And the naan bread is always a hit! Also would like to mention what is perhaps my favorite appetizer of any cuisine... the vegetable samosas. These have to be the best I 've tasted so far .All of the food was brought out surprisingly fast, tasted fresh, and was presented beautifully when served.Our experience here was wonderful. Thank you to Joseph and their team for accommodating our group. And thank you for an absolutely delicious feast!"

"Wow! Living in the Midwest I don 't get seafood this fresh and Shells doesn 't disappoint! Our server Bailey, is friendly and personable. She showed true interest in us and helped us navigate the menu to pick the best dishes for us. I asked what she would order and she recommended: Fresh Mahi Mahi Felix topped with jumbo lump crabmeat and roasted red peppers in a lobster cream sauce. Served with seasoned rice over vegetable medley. (Pictured) I was not disappointed, I am still so full an hour after eating while writing this. Thank you Bailey, perfect choice! I think this should be called The Bailey Special My wife got the Baby Lobster Pasta, Succulent baby lobster tails tossed with linguine in lobster cream sauce. She was blown away and the sauce could be a soup! Our son ubered us so we could enjoy the bar, we started off with a Mojito (wife) (which the bartender didn 't know how to make but got it pretty close) I got the house margarita with a sugar rim, very good. We then switched gears to an Island Breeze (AMAZING! Light and refreshing like the name suggests and my drink the Rum Punch was true to its name too as it felt like I got punched in the face rum, not a bad thing! Atmosphere is light and approximately themed, everything looked and smelled clean. We don 't live here, but if we return we will be back! If you read this far please go visit, I 'm sure your experience will be as great as ours. Thank you to everyone at Shells who made our evening wonderful."
