Boo Coo Roux

This place is amazing!
I have had pretty much everything on their menu (excluding the muff.) and can say that I have been impressed with every order.
You can tell that they take the time to perfect all of their menu items that they make from scratch.
I highly recommend their rotating special. Their crawfish etouffe was incredible!

Delicious but pricey.
Great shrimp, great bread, interesting-​but-​good caramelized onion aioli (tasted like less tart mustard). Their website says this has pickled cherry peppers on it but I didn’t get any :(
The elephant in the room is of course the prices. $ 13.23 (after tax) for this much shrimp isn’t a bad deal, but it would have been nice to have a cheap side available like chips because I don’t feel satiated.
Their menu changes weekly so I’ll definitely keep my eyes peeled and see what else they come up with.

First, I like the concept, and the selection of items to serve seems good. And the shrimp in my shrimp po boy were surprisingly most and cooked properly despite being on the smallish side. But then again, they were not breaded, which made them healthier. So what didn’t I like?
Both my sandwich and the Cajun fries were way, way too salty. The fries were so salty I had to throw most of them out. I like salted food, which brings out the flavor in most cooking. But not this much salt. Additionally, I thought the sandwich needed something crunchy for contrasting texture in the bite. The greens provided just got soggy with the dressing.
The sandwich was also very expensive for street food, and one reason might be the size of the sandwich and the portion of fries. Both could have been half the size and correspondingly more affordably priced. That’s how the lobster sandwich trucks do it.
Perhaps I would try them again after they have had a chance to work on some of the things I mentioned. And in fairness, I can’t comment on the Gumbo, which might be wonderful, but when I saw the half portion container, it was like a cup of soup size or smaller, which might be on the light side of a full lunch item.

Boo Coo Roux’s $ 8 muffaletta sandwich (only a half portion) left me somewhat disappointed a couple of weeks ago — far too much of the chewy, sesame-​topped bread for the thinly-​sliced slivers of prosciutto, mortadella and cheese, anchored only by a thin smear of olive tapenade — but I vowed to give them another try.
Today I was on a mission to sample their Seafood Gumbo, especially after hearing two co-​workers rave about their recent curbside lunch from the wildly painted food truck.
Their gumbo — billed as «shrimp, crabmeat, house-​made Andouille sausage, crawfish stock, steam white rice and scallions» — comes in small ($ 5) and large ($ 11.00) paper cups. My large cup, approximately 14-​ounces, topped out at just over $ 12.30 at the register.
The chowder’s rich, cocoa-​colored stock is either shrimp or crawfish based, evident by the smattering of pink shells found while slurping up the soup. I managed to find two small pieces shrimp — maybe ⁴¹⁄₅₀ count size — in the entire cup. There were a few flakes of fish and maybe three spoonfuls of nicely cooked white rice, but the star of the show were the thick, smoky slices of Andouille sausage that seasoned the cup from top to bottom. Overall, the flavor profile was right out of my home-​away-​from-​home in Thibodaux, Louisiana — unfortunately, the quarter-​sized glob of uncooked roux that snuck onto my spoon killed the Bayou buzz I was enjoying back at my desk.
I still want to try that Fried Shrimp Po ‘Boy! Maybe the third time will be the charm…

Damn good seafood gumbo, just the right amount of spice, thickness and delicious shrimp and scallops. Headed to New Orleans later this month and this only makes me want to go sooner.

I love trying new food trucks, so I stopped here for lunch today and was unfortunately kind of disappointed. We had the shrimp po boy, the hush puppies and the bread pudding. The hush puppies came with a bacon sauce and the sauce was great, but the hush puppies were raw inside. The po boy was ok, but kind of sloppy. The shrimp were loosing their breading, there were some hot peppers on the sandwich, but the whole thing was a little lacking in flavor. The bread pudding was served with a sort of whipped cream or maybe a whipped mascarpone? Either way it was grainy. This all cost over $ 20, and given the experience I don’t think it was worth it.

A good food truck reviewed at 100 South Wacker.
The food is Cajun and they serve a selection of Gumbo and Poor Boy sandwiches. I had the seafood gumbo and it was very good. I’ll come back later for the Shrimp Poor Boy.
All the food trucks are kind of expensive for a sandwich or soup for lunch, and so is this one. $ 11 for a large (about a pint I think) of seafood gumbo. But, I was pleasantly surprised that the Gumbo had a lot more seafood than rice. And it was spicy enough and had a great taste. There was quite a bit of shrimp in it too. I love to try out all the trucks, but I’ll be back again.

So, I hate writing reviews when I can’t pronounce or spell the items in which I ate; however, I will make an exception since the sandwich was pretty darn good.
That sandwhich would be the one that starts with a M! It’s something like Muff… something or other I don’t know. BUT! What I do know is that it was pretty delicious. It had prosciutto, mozzarella, and an olive paste that was Devine and made for a rich sandwich. I paid for it, and they handed it to me in about 2 seconds afterwards. Fast service to say the least.
The one thing I wasn’t a fan of was the prices. The sandwich wasn’t bad, 8 dollars for a huge half sandwich which could easily be a meal for two, and 15 dollars for a whole which I’d imagine is pretty freaking large. Probably about as big as my head. But, the sides were pretty pricey. 6 dollars for hush puppies and 4 for Cajun fries. I didn’t try them since I’m on a lunch budget, but I’d be interested to see if they’re worth the price or if the quantity is larger than expected.
Overall though, really solid first experience. I’m excited to go back.

Newer food truck on the scene. Had their shrimp po’ boy at a food fest this summer. So much shrimp with light breading. Will definitely be going back at some point to try other menu items!
