Gumbo this side of the Mississippi

I refused to believe it but Naz was right. This gumbo had it all. Except half the crab that he said they usually hook it up with. We thought for sure we'd get love because they hooked up a fresh pot for us since it was 9 pm/closing time.

The broth was nice and thick, the color of hurricane mud, sausages chopped up perfect bite size, chicken wasn't over cooked, the shrimps was tasty, the crab-it was missing more of it but overall it was good. I was looking forward to half of what he screamed about but it wasn't there. Added a little bit of rice from the small cup they gave for us to share and we were in business.

All good, this gumbo gave me some crazy gas. Speaking of which, their burritos looked massive, like a little mortar rocket. Their super size burrito had the regular price of a mission burrito.

They're right there in Oakland on San Pablo at 27th. Good hood eats, at good hood prices.
