I noticed that they changed the way they plated the food and added a few touches like grilled pineapple & an edible flower . I don’t remember the guys name who served us but it was his first day and he was perfect ! He got all of our orders correct , made all 12 of us our special alcoholic beverages in a timely manner . He was very sweet & friendly . The vibe was perfect ! 10/10 🥰“

“Slightly delayed review but who cares. While I no longer live in New Orleans, this is one of my favorite places I’d been to. I still dream of my dinner from NYE 2022 🤤 I believe it was a rabbit mole, which was absolutely 🔥 and the huitlacoche quesadilla. The mole is forever imprinted on my soul!“

“Juan's is a great place. We go here regularly, and even with being gluten-free, we always have plenty of choices. The banh mi tacos are incredible and don't sleep on the huevos rancheros. The servers here are friendly, kind, and attentive, and the vibes are very chill. And if you're into tequila and mezcal, they've got you covered. Go enjoy.“

“Awesome food and freshest, best margaritas in town! Justin is the nicest person. I'm always happy to see his smiling face when I walk in the door. Victoria is the best! Along with Mel and Dee! Wouldn't go to any other place for a margarita!“

“Wonderful experience! Had the quesadilla and it was delicious. Staff was great, super friendly. Restaurant had the small business cozy family vibe. Food and service were spectacular, highly recommend.“

“Visited on Dec 30. Why eat Mexican when in Nola? Because it is world class. Easily a top 5 meal and I have a long list of amazing restaurants visited. I’ll start with the end. Get the desserts. Save room. They are amazing. We opted for both the FLAN and the MASA TRES LECHES. The latter was moist, light and life changing. The flan was rich and fulfilling. The menu is small but MIGHTY. The cocktails were well thought out and varied. We started with the AGUACHILES VERDE and TUNA TOSTADA. Both were fresh, flavorful and authentic. A few bites each for two of us. For the main portions, we chose the CHOCHOYOTES and ARROZ NEGRO. The former is a Mexican influenced play on southern collared greens. More of a side but amazing on its own. A very worthy pair to the main character of this meal, the ARROZ NEGRO. Corn smut sounds terrible but it is delicious. The mussels, squid and shrimp add a Nola flair to this amazing dish. It is very rich and a solid portion. Flavors and texture for days. Plus a bit of umami from the huitlacoche. It is a bit pricy. Total before tip for 2 of us was $250. That included 5 cocktails, 4 dishes and 2 desserts.“

“Pleasant surroundings Helpful staff Yummy food Love Happy hour!“

“Such a fun place!! Food, drinks, atmosphere, service, everything was top notch and delicious!“

“Me encantó la comida y la atención ☺️“

“These tacos are so good, I had to bring my husband. The very next day, because he is a show-off, he had to bring me back again with his cousin. Then she said she will bring two of her good friends as soon as she gets a chance. Needless to say, these tacos are the best!! 5 out of 5 stars.“

“OMG the food was delicious and the staff was great. Loved it!“

“Once again I stopped in for a bite and as usual I was treated like family, well all things considered, better than family. The staff are especially friendly and accommodating. As with both area locations the food is always consistent and good. I especially love the tortilla soup with added shredded chicken. I truly hope that this business stands the test of time and remains in the area.“

“amazing authentic Mexican food!“

“Staying nearby and drove by a few times and saw it was always busy. Walked up for an early dinner and couldn’t have been more impressed. Great people, great atmosphere and unbelievably delicious food made with fresh ingredients. Also found everything reasonably priced. Very happy that we trusted in our rule of eating where the locals go. How have they not been featured on the Food Network???“

“Amazing tacos and friendly staff! My waitress/bartender today (I believe she’s 20, Honduran descent) was extremely kind, attentive, and is excellent in her job. Super easy to talk to, it’s a breath of fresh air to meet people like this in my line of work. I give this restaurant my highest of recommendations.“

“This place has the best authentic street tacos and more ! It’s deliciously consistent and the atmosphere is wonderful <3“

“Absolutely wonderful. The coffee was so cinnamony I love it here
I typically like to get the huarache for dinner, you won't find that on a menu in many places in new orleans. But I decided to come by for breakfast and am so glad I did.“

“Best Street Tacos since I was in Southern California! these ladies know what they're doing! I stop every time I go to the VA“

“Great eating!! B please try this place“

“A True Gem in Metairie! I am so thrilled to have finally found a restaurant in Metairie that gets everything right! Velvet Cactus is, without a doubt, a 5-star experience from top to bottom. In an city where customer service often seems like a lost art, this place stands out as a shining example of how it should be done. The absolute highlight of our visit was the incredible service we received from Sharon Davis. She was attentive, friendly, and genuinely seemed to enjoy making sure we had a great experience. It was so refreshing to be taken care of by someone with such a wonderful and positive attitude. Sharon is a true asset to the restaurant, and her exceptional service alone is a reason to come back. Of course, the food was just as impressive. Every single dish we ordered was packed with flavor and cooked to perfection. From the appetizers to the main course, you can tell there's real care and quality coming out of that kitchen. To top it all off, the environment is fantastic. The decor is fun and vibrant, creating a lively and enjoyable atmosphere that’s perfect for a night out. We will absolutely be back, and we'll be asking for Sharon! If you're looking for delicious food and service that will leave you smiling, look no further than Velvet Cactus. Highly, highly recommended!“

“Glad I stopped by here an hour before closing. Everyone working was helpful, attentive, and had a nice smile. I was drawn to the flying burrito because of its interesting combination of proteins and it did not disappoint. The kindness of the service members stood out to me because I had an unrelated bad customer service experience at a pub the night before and I needed this. My thanks to the staff“

“The enchiladas are the best thing I have ever eaten. Omg.“

“We try something new every time and it never disappoints! If you live in this area, this should be your go to when cravings tacos or just chips & salsa!!!“

“Great food, drinks and service.“

“This place is an obvious hidden gem! The wait staff are spectacularly true blue and on point. The tacos are almost as good as the ones from food trucks in the Miami and Fort Lauderdale shores. The ambience is St. Charles Ave. perfect! Also, if you can get the frozen margarita!“

“It's hard to believe as many times as have been to New Orleans that I have never been to this restaurant. The food was really really good. So good that when I started eating I wanted to keep eating. I had to slow down! I had the pulled pork fajitas which were very very good. This included freshly made corn tortillas which were delicious. Portion was extremely generous and I could only finish half of it. Took the rest back to the hotel and had it the following day. The orange lime margarita was very good as well. Very tasty with just enough tequila in it. Very generous portions. Very delicious food. Great service. What more could you ask for? Definitely give them a try!“

“Love it here!“

“The margaritas & food were so good🩷“

“I was not expecting anything special when arriving at Juan's. But left totally impressed. The fish tacos were amazing as were the chicken Street tacos. The salsa and quest were fresh and tasty too. The Monday all day happy hour was an added bonus. Garrett was a very attentive waiter and made sure we had everything we needed and were satisfied! Thanks Garrett and way to go Juan!“

“Just found this restaurant a couple months back. . Every time we have gone the avocado salad is fantastic and food is really good will continue to go Lucky to have a place like this in Westwego.“

“The only comment I will leave with you is that every time my wife and I order tacos from El rincon, we fa to take a photo for a review as we eat it as soon as it gets to our door. We have been living in downtown New Orleans the past 10 months and these are the best tacos in our opinion in town.

“Food and drinks were amazing! Such a beautiful restaurant and awesome vibe. Thank you to our waitress Neila 😊

Edited to add: Neila and the crew on 2/27 were so kind and helped us celebrate my boyfriend's 40th birthday. We were visiting from NJ but can't wait to come back 😊“

“The best Mexican fast food in Louisiana“

“We are huge fans of Pepe’s and dine in and do carry out often. We decided this year to try out their catering for a large family holiday gathering. I can’t say enough great things about them! Everything was nicely packaged, quantities were MORE than enough! Everything was delicious! It was a HUGE hit and we will absolutely be ordering catering again. Erica was so easy to work with!“

“Es una casa no un restaurant por que desde el lava copa hasta el mesero te tratan como si fueras uno más de la familia lo recontar recomiendo por su atención sazón y sabor Taqueria Corona New orleans lo mejor y no se dejen imprecionante por bonitos carteles aquí si hay buen sabor y unión“

“100% recommend this placeI tried 2 of each taco and there was not one I didn't like. As a Texas Native and Of Mexican decent I totally give this place all the thumbs up.

Parking: This is a food truck, you park and order at the window and they make it for you right then and there.“

“Had lunch today and it was excellent, as was our server! We had the smoked pork taco salad and it’s enough for 3 meals, it’s probably one of the best salads in the city. And the honey bbq wings were delicious! Will definitely be back and it was great to see management presence. Marc stopped by our table a few times. Highly recommend!“

“I have been coming here for 20 years or close to it. I love the hamburgers, garbage can nachos, spaghetti and meatballs, lasagna, spinach and shrimp quesadillas, ribs, and recently discovered the Baja taco with salmon this summer. That’s my favorite go to meal now!!! I usually got a margarita on the rocks with dinner. But changed it up with a watermelon daiquiri with tajin on the rim. Delicious! This was one of my mom’s favorite places too. I sure miss going there with her sharing a hamburger together and having margaritas. Great neighborhood restaurant.“

“Let me get by saying this is one of the cutest little restaurants I’ve ever seen. It was really cozy. I started with the carrot and orange juice while I waited on my food and it was so delicious. The staff was super friendly and kept me company while I waited on my order. I’m at Maria the owners daughters who are super sweet, Angelica helped me with figuring out what I wanted to order, Irbiana brought the food out to me, well, Natalie and Beberlin cashed me out. Everything looks so good online and so were the reviews so I ordered a bunch of different things … pictures coming shortly :)“

“Had a great experience here! The food was absolutely delicious fresh, flavorful, and came out fast. The service really stood out though. Taylor was our server, and she was incredibly attentive, friendly, and made sure everything was just right without being overbearing.

She checked in at the perfect times, had great recommendations, and made the whole experience feel easy and enjoyable. You can tell she genuinely cares about providing great service. The atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming, which made it even better. I’ll definitely be back.“

“BEST food we’ve ever had! Here for our honeymoon dinner! 100% recommended! The lobster tacos and duck enchiladas are TOP tier 👏🏻“

“Great ambiance and exquisite food. Joshua made our night very special with his great service. Un lugar muy elegante, tranquilo y lejos del bullicio de la ciudad. Highly recommended 🥰“

“Great time. Brunch yesterday.Sunday. Our server, Madison was wonderful. The best margaritas and guava mimosas yum!! We will be back .“
