Power was out, it was about 95 degrees in their restaurant, and they STILL delivered delicious food rapidly. Great place.

The food is always soooo yummy! The staff and owners are always so nice and the place is always clean and so cozy. It really feels so inviting and authentic! My husband, my staff, and I eat or order out a lot… queso, birria tacos, and pupusas are always on the order but tamales every now and then… I would recommend hands down.
I recommend that you visit this tortilla, the tortillas are very delicious and the food is delicious and the service is highly recommended.

The food at Mawi is so fresh and tasty. I’ve just recently been introduced to this restaurant and I’ve eaten her twice in one week. On top of having really delicious food at a fair price with generous portions, the owners and staff are above and beyond friendly. They take great care in preparing the food and maintaining a comfortable and clean environment! This is a very casual establishment - no fuss, no frills, just authentic goodness! Order at the counter and have fun taking your choice of table in the dining room. I’m a fan, would recommend a thousand times over and will continue to frequent this as a new go to eatery!
Vegetarian options: Several dishes you can do without meat - just choose beans as your protein.
Kid-friendliness: Casual environment you can definitely bring your kiddos to. Lots of seating options to accommodate all sizes of humans!

4 people in our party. Divided us, two ordered at counter and asked other two to sit at a table to get order. Was asked by manager/owner. Gentlemen did not take the order of the half of party that was asked to sit. Ignored the two people he had asked to sit. Horrible service. Gentlemen acted as if the young lady at the counter was being too slow. She was doing just fine and we felt her service was great. Gentlemen seemed overwhelmed w/5 customers, 4 of which were in the same party.Saw a story about this restaurant on the morning news. Was excited to try the food but never did due to bad service. Party was from out of town.

10/10 Food, Service, and atmosphere. The customer service is out the roof and the Birria tacos are the best in the city.
Good food... nice people. I'm going back soon. Cool little spot with authentic cuisine.

I happened to hear the review on the place on the radio and decided to try it. I’m happy that I did. I ordered theYuca Con Chicharron and chicken tamale. The first dish was larger than I thought, but it was delicious. I haven’t eaten the tamale yet, since I was full from the first dish. But I look forward to doing so later. I got to meet and talk with the father of the business, and it was very pleasant, as he gave me samples of certain foods and informed about why his tortitas are different than others. It was very informative. One of his sons was a chef at Emeril’s, and a New York magazine rated Mawi as a top ten best restaurants in New Orleans. Im looking forward to another visit

We were really impressed with our lunch at Mawi Tortillas. We had the bierra tacos and chrispy pork shoulder with yucca and slaw. It was delicious and plated beautifully. We loved it so much that we got tamales to go (the big ones wrapped in banana leaves). The owner waited on us and couldn't have been nicer.
