If you’re in San Diego, you MUST eat here…got the jambalaya and damn near hurt myself it was so good…
If you can’t be in New Orleans then this is absolutely a great substitute…five stars earned

A hidden gem, we've been to Louisiana and have tasted authentic Creole food and this place replicates that exactly, the crawfish and gumbo are really good. Set back off the road you be careful you don't walk past it.

The food and service here was excellent. The chef was very nice and attentive and had no complaints even though my husband and I lingered through closing time. Even offered to make us dessert despite being closed. Truly exceptional.

This is a great restaurant with fantastic food. The food and the service was amazing. Very friendly and welcoming. We have been coming here for many years during our vacation, and usually make it to the restaurant twice so we can take some of this deliciousness home with us. Highly recommend checking it out!

Great spot hidden in Old Town. We make it a point to come here. My wife loves their etouffee. Everything I've ever ordered from here was awesome. Small restaurant or patio seating with only a couple of people working but worth it.

Stopped here before our Whaley house paranormal investigation, amazing Gumbo and the service was so great! Definitely coming back next time.

New Orleans Creole Cafe is worth your time and Taste Buds! This restaurant is situated in a nice quiet spot in Old Town San Diego. The Nice and Amazing gentlemen that runs this establishment is the cook and server so you may have to wait a little longer than normal, but trust me it’s well worth the wait! For appetizer’s I ordered the Blackened Alligator Sausage and my wife ordered the French Onion Soup, house salad with Balsamic vinaigrette. For the main course I ordered the Crawfish Etouffee and my wife ordered the Dark Roux Gumbo, we stopped halfway through the meal to make room for the Bread Pudding with Whiskey Sauce which makes your tastebuds jump with joy and pleasure. This nice cozy restaurant has a special atmosphere of its own and is well worth your time and tastebuds. My wife and I will be back for sure.

The best Cajun Food in SD. One of my favorite places to eat at. I always make it a part of my visit when im in SD and the owners are the best!

They were about to close when we arrived since it was a quiet night as they said. But they were SO nice that they opened the restaurant for us and still accommodated us. Outside of the amazingly friendly service and the place that makes you feel like home, the food was way beyond expectation and great. I specifically recommend Crawfish Etouffee and French Onion Soup - you won’t be disappointed!

We had such a lovely experience!! Delicious food, I got the BBQ Shrimp and Rice (it was divine!!!), the kindest folks, the quaintest little place, and the best service! Go to the kitchen door to ask for a table!
