Roux Dat Cajun Creole: Reviews & Ratings

Give this place your business so that they can move to a better venue, such as a grungy bar, where they can really thrive. Seriously the food is good. Eat here.

New Orleans jazz playing in the background, delicious food, good service, and weirdly located in a Capitola strip mall. Decided to swing by on a random whim to grab a poboy because cravings, and it was better than the PoBoys Ive had in nolo. As another reviewer said, eat here.
