text: Having a husband from Cajun country (Lafayette), we decided to give Chez Monieux a try. Hubby ordered catfish with okra and hush puppies. I had the red beans and rice. We also ordered a side of dirty rice. After a little wait (reasonable for the food), our food was served. Catfish was nicely breaded, non-greasy, and well-cooked. Okra was lightly breaded, more lightly than most places, but quite good. Hubby didn't let me try the hush puppies, so they must have been excellent! \n\nAs for the red beans and rice, they came on a GIANT flat plate, with a large amount of beans, a fair amount of sausage, and a somewhat small serving of rice, plopped next to the side of the beans. Now, I'm no Cajun, but this is not how red beans and rice should be served. The rice should be on the bottom, and the beans should go on top... That being said, the taste of the beans was decent (although not as mushy as red beans normally are), and the sausage quite good, so I wasn't too disappointed given that this is Cajun food in Arizona.\n\nFinally, the dirty rice... Well, let's just say, this isn't the dirty rice we expected. It was white rice with red and green peppers. Dirty rice is called dirty because it has pieces of chicken liver or giblets in it. I know that sounds a bit gross, but it's authentic and really tasty! So, skip the dirty rice at Chez Monieux .\n\nChez Monieux's service was very friendly, and everything looked clean enough (though somewhat spartan). I think it would be more lively on a night when they have live music (we actually sat on the stage). Anyway, I'll give them another try with friends, and this time I'll order the catfish!
