The truth is, you don't become a Louisiana favorite just by putting the word "authentic" on your sign. When you've served Cajun meals as long as we have, you learn the difference between real food and a bland imitation, and our guests know it too. Grilled, fried or on ice-there's time cooked into every dish and time spent on every home cooked recipe, so that every aroma, every bite, every sip and every gathering is memorable. We've spent more than 80 years creating a recipe for something much greater than a place for a lunch break or night out. It's a place to share (or keep the whole plate to yourself), a place where you always have a seat ready at the table and a place where you're always part of the family.

It was my first time to Tana. It’s was as good as advertised. Jason was excellent and the food was tasty and delicious. A very pretty restaurant but casual enough to not have to over dress. My only request is that they add a few more pasta recipes. 4 isn’t enough in my opinion. I will definitely go back.

Went for brunch. The seafood queso was the best dish. Birria tacos were good. The shrimp and grits were good however they are pictured and described as coming with crab legs and they do not. Was not made aware of this until the concern was raised when the food came. Wait was a bit long for entrees (chilaquiles and shrimp and grits) but the queso and birria tacos came pretty fast
