Mexican Restaurants near Meraux

“Best Mexican food in Chalmette. I have visited all in the area. Not only is this one price friendly, the food is sooooooo good. I had the birria and they were 10/10. The restaurant itself is cute and spacious. Very clean and the customer service is exceptional. Definitely can tell it’s family oriented. This will be my new spot!“

“I never go inside. The service lately has been super good. The worker is so very nice.

Parking: Parking is free and there's lots of space.

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes, of course there is special entrance for those in a wheelchair“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Love it here!“

“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!“

“The margaritas & food were so good🩷“

“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.“

“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 :)“

“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.“

“I use to go to “Burritos grill” for lunch. The service there was terrible, shared salsa with a table or 5 every single time I sat down. Service was horrendous. Came to this establishment and immediately welcomed with a kind server. Amazing service and great atmosphere. I give it 5 stars.“

“Great food and service!!!“

“los mejores tacos de Lousiaba“

“Wonderful service with delicious food and drinks!“

“I love the food here, the mix between Mexican & Central American is just right!“

“Great food and drinks , beautiful patio .“

“Food was good, my kids never waste anything here! Waiter was great as he always is, believe the ticket said Michael F.!“

“El Norte is my fav! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰“

“This place blew me away!! I just stopped in on a whim. Amazing salsa, and two or three dozen different sauces to spice things up with. Chimichanga was awesome with the queso it was drowned in. This place is so fantastic. 20 bucks including 5 dollar tip. Hands down one of the best experiences I’ve ever had in Chalmette during the course of my entire life….. that’s not saying a lot though. This place is literally the best place in the area.“

“Best tacos ever chicken or beef both good just don’t take big bite of pepper and they have the Mexican Coke made with cane sugar instead of high fructose corn syrup“

“Delicious food and drinks. Authentic Mexican food. Clean dining room and restrooms.“

“Everything is yummy!! 2 for 1 Margaritas everyday“

“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.“

“delicious authentic lunch. friendly staff. good menu options.“

“Ana amazing spot tucked away just off of Filmore. We had a super rad time. The bar happened to be celebrating a customers birthday, so there were a good amount of folks right when the bar opened. Everyone was friendly and enjoying the company of others. Only took about 10 minutes before we started dancing. The bar serves food, but I did not try anything this round. But, I have a reason to go back.“

“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.“

“always consistently good.“

“Stopped into Izzo’s while on a work trip in Harvey. Wasn’t sure what to expect, but some of the guys I was working are locals and said the burritos were really good.

I love the amount of choices for everything! It’s kinda like the other “build your own burrito/bowl” place that’s out there, but way way better.

I had the spicy chicken in a cayenne wrapper and it did not disappoint one bit! Everyone I was with really enjoyed the food!“
