We returned to New Orleans six months ago after being away for 18 months, and one of the places we were excited to visit again was Taco del Cartel. We used to come here often, and we were pleasantly surprised to see how much they have expanded. The restaurant looks absolutely amazing, with a vibrant atmosphere that makes you want to stay and enjoy the experience.

Visited Saturday for my bday brunch with a few friends. Beautiful ambiance from top to bottom. Limited parking. Waiter was very helpful and attentive. Starters- salsa and chips, guacamole, queso. Drinks- strawberry mango. Main- chicken and waffles ( its was good without all the extra sauce. Just syrup.), Mushrooms taco, Birria.
Thank you all for a good experience!! Keep up the good work!

The food was good, but the outdoor seating experience honestly ruined it for us. We brought our dog since pets aren’t allowed inside, so we had to sit outside near the street. It was very loud with constant traffic, and every time cars passed by, dirty sewage water would splash toward the seating area. Not pleasant at all while trying to eat. The atmosphere outside definitely needs improvement because it took away from the overall experience.
