This place is a little hidden because of the market barriers they have put up but it was SOOOO good. The beans were so tasty and different than what we’re used to. Chips and salsa were great. Shrimp quesadillas were good! And service was great too. We unfortunately ran into a lot of rude people working in the bourbon st/canal area but this was the BEST service we got!
First time in New Orleans tried this place omg food was amazing the beans were so good service was great
The best Mexican food we had in New Orleans. As a Latina girly, expectations were high, but the flavor of the chicken and shrimp I had in my tacos were amazing. The rice and beans were subpar, not lying, but if you’re looking for a place to do chips and salsa with margaritas this is your sign to go here. The chipotle chicken tenderloin is a must order as well as any of the margaritas.
