Espíritu is a quiet and charming Mexican restaurant tucked away from the bustling streets of New Orleans. The chill vibe, amazing drinks, and delicious food make it a must-visit. The friendly owner, a master mezcal sommelier, and knowledgeable staff ensure a comfortable experience, with gluten-free options available. Recommended dishes include Birria tacos, Cochinita pibil, and Lengua, along with cocktails like Carta de Amor and Diablo. The food is consistently delicious, and the hospitality is instantly recognizable to anyone who knows what a neighborhood spot feels like. They have recently switched to making the tortillas in-house, which are highly praised. The staff is super helpful in choosing between dishes, and the drinks are made with love. The menu balances creativity, quality, and inclusivity, showcasing thoughtful sourcing and options for different dietary needs. Espíritu stands out as the first mezcalería in the city, and its ongoing support for the New Orleans community adds an even more meaningful layer to the experience. Whether a local or a visitor, it is conveniently located and always worth the visit. Highly recommended.
