Delicious tuna ceviche and seafood empanadas!
Stopped in for brunch before a show at the Saenger. We mainly chose here because of the convenience, but we’re so glad we did! Food was excellent and staff was very friendly. Our children enjoyed everything too! Mofongo was delicious and I appreciated the mocktail the bartender made for my daughter. 10/10 recommend.
Great place! By far best place we ate while visiting New Orleans. Wonderful food, atmosphere, and service! If you like to try small plates and different foods then this is the place to go!
