“As a home cook, I’m usually pretty critical, but tacos truly impressed me. The flavors were perfectly balanced not just salty or basic, but genuinely well thought out. It’s rare to find a spot that cares as much about presentation as they do about taste, and the atmosphere only added to the experience. On top of that, the service was excellent our waitress checked in every few minutes to ensure we were taken care of. Definitely worth it I’m already planning my next trip back, I recommend this place.“

“We had our holiday party here and it was absolutely amazing!! Starting with the frozen margaritas, through the chips, salsa, queso and table side fresh guacamole and onto the tacos, quesadillas and burritos the food was delicious and authentic. Of course a great dining experience includes both food and service and just like the food the service was top notch. The staff truly made it a wonderful experience. Before we left we were already planning a return visit!“

“I love this place - stumbled on it about 10 years ago when I lived in Atlanta. Moved back to NOLA and searched feverishly for it, I didn't remember the name. Driving around one day and Voila! There it was. This is the best Mexican I've had since I lived in California.“

“Anyi was a GREAT server! So friendly and attentive with all smiles. The food was excellent, it is by far my favorite in all of New orleans for gorditas. The tajadas are tasty, the sauces are good, and the meat is always flavorful and perfectly cooked. They're not shy with the cheese, either“

“I only tried the tacos and they were good. After ordering, you have to wait a little while for your food. It's a small place with a window for ordering. There's a communal table outside where you can eat, but it's a bit uncomfortable.“
