Tex-Mex Restaurants near Metairie

“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!“

“Perfect for dinner with the family or just a quick lunch while shopping. Servers always impress; very friendly and prompt with refills. My daughter’s favorite Mexican restaurant.“

“I ordered the triple dipper , the egg rolls were delicious, however the chicken was not fresh also over fried. If the chicken had been freshly prepared I would have rated a 5 star

Parking: Lots of parking space

Kid-friendliness: Kids are always welcomed“

“I visited last Saturday as a quick stop before heading home to Texas. The service was excellent and positive energy from staff. In my haste, I left my wallet! Thankfully it was found, however, I was 4 hours into an 8hr trip before I realized it was missing. My only hope was to see if they could mail my wallet. I called and the staff were so kind, they confirmed it was found and offered to hold it in the back so it’s safe. They reached out to William, the owner, who willingly agreed for me to have his number (he totally could have taken my number and had me wait for his call). He responded the next business day and confirmed he’d send, he even provided the tracking the following day!

I received my wallet in the mail today, ALL my money and cards were still in tact! My wallet was at this establishment for 3-4 days with rotating staff members…talk about integrity and character! I’m impressed.

Shout out to William and ALL the staff not only for the recovery of my wallet….but for the food that was delicious, a clean establishment and excellent service! I can’t wait to come back in town just visit and say Thank You in person!“

“We have enjoyed their food for many years, however something has changed. Their enchiladas are no longer the same. The last time we got them they were raw tortillas with meet inside and some sauce on top. There weren't placed in an oven and covered with sauce and cheese like they use to be. It's disgusting to serve something like this to customers. We will be looking elsewhere unless this changes.“

“Good food at a good price.“

“We got 'to go'. It was ready on time. Limited parking but easy in & out of lot. Temp of food was warm by the time we got home: maybe 10 min after pick up. Chips weren't in bag but salsa was. Ordered no sour cream but it looked like it was put on food & then scraped to remove it. Flavors r very good, portions r good & food is very filling.“

“Love it here!“

“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!“
