Reviews for Café Desoto in Alexandria, LA
This place is great! My map took me to Tamp and Grind but I quickly figured out that I needed to go around the corner. The food... was fresh and delicious and the service was great. My only complaint is that they don't have any high chairs for kids Read more
It's a nice, small café in downtown Alexandria. There's seating available inside and out. It definitely reminds me of the kind... of small town café I grew up going to where the staff is super friendly and personable! You can tell the community loves themby the amount of to-go orders and customers that are on first-name basis with the staff. There's also artwork for sale inside! Read more
Gumbo was delicious. Very nice staff. Clean establishment. Try ?em!
Food was good, but service -- if you could call it that -- was astonishingly bad. There were only 3 two-person groups being... served and it took nearly an hour to get our food. The cook walked out mid order to smoke. When he finally returned, he didn'teven wash his hands He also very gruffly turned away half a dozen groups with no apology or explanation. Read more
2/28/22 dined here for the first time around 1:20 P.M. It was not too busy--the other patrons placed their orders and the chef... was making everything fresh to order in front of our faces. This place is quite unique! It definitely hits the spot! The chefhad a very friendly smile and he assured us that he would be with us as soon as he cranked out the previous made orders. 1. Thegumbo--YUMMY!!!!!!! Very good with the cilantro ???? rice!!! 2. The black beans--quality black beans--cooked very well. 3. Thesteak street taco--OH MY!!!! THE meat that he uses must be some of the BEST on the market. 4. The Butternut Squash!!!Yummy!!!!!!!!!!! I will definitely be back. Fresh and quality food prepared with ???? ! I wish he would add groundmeat tacosto the menu. Be patient with him. He is the only worker at this time. The wait is well worth it! Read more
A little jewel tucked away in downtown Alexandria. The menu is small and the focus lies on creating delicious food. I?ve tried... the BLT and Cuban (pictured) sandwiches, and look forward to going back and sampling burritos and salads. Definitely worth yourwhile if you find yourself in the neighborhood and crave something fresh! Read more
Cleanest cafe in downtown Alex. Great food, the chef is a graduate of the Culinary Institute of America. Lots of local and New... Orleans art on the walls- some for sale. Pictured is the Mediterranean panini and past salad. Read more
