This place is absolutely amazing. I didn't end up eating because I had already eaten and despite the lack of food I had an amazing time. The service was absolutely fantastic and atmosphere is perfect. I would absolutely go again!

Amazing place we try to go here everytime we're in New Orleans. The birria tacos are so good and the drinks are made with love! Erica was great she took good care of us very knowledgeable and friendly.

The menu looks delicious, and we wanted to try it, but it wasn't meant to be.
For our first visit, we attempted to dine in, and they canceled our reservation. Rather than taking this as the apparent sign that it was meant to be, a few days later, we ordered online for pickup only to be told that 90% of our order was out of stock. Staple items like chips and salsa or quesadiilas were out of stock for a lunch order.
Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. I will not be making a third attempt.

Espíritu is one of my favorite places in New Orleans. Every time I’m in town, I make it a point to come back, and bring friends. They’re always impressed.
The food and cocktails are consistently delicious, and the menu is clearly built with intention. It balances creativity, quality, and inclusivity, with thoughtful sourcing and options for different dietary needs, there’s care in every detail.
As the first mezcalería in the city, it stands out. The owner is a master mezcal sommelier, and the depth of expertise shows, from the rotating, seasonal cocktails to the carefully curated mezcal list.
What really sets them apart is the heart behind this place. Their ongoing support for the New Orleans community adds an even more meaningful layer to an already standout experience.
Whether you're a local or just visiting, it's conveniently located and always worth the visit. Highly recommend.

I came here I disarray, and Haley, Dana and zari are great so accommodating. It’s my first time in Nola and they literally made me feel so at home and pointed me in the direction of all the proper local spots aside from here. Literally great!!! Come here !!!

Love this place, their Mezcal drinks are amazing!!!
You’d likely never know this adorable, plant-filled space on a block bearing a street name no one knows (that feels more like an alley) could be the best thing to happen to your week. Located directly across from one of the two U.S. Court of Appeals loading docks, this oasis quickly transports the diner to a country they may have never visited and may now want to visit immediately.
This isn’t that “Mexican” place you have in your hometown that mostly serves to pacify the American palate. That isn’t to say it will feel unfamiliar or awkward; you may just realize excessive grease and cheese aren’t required for enjoyment of every item.
With the exception of tortas (sandwiches) and a couple of desserts, everything is gluten-free. Not just in the “no-gluten-containing-ingredients” way you may find many places, but instead it’s an environment where staff are trained on cross-contamination (and where they have a dedicated frier). There are also numerous vegetarian and vegan options.
Happy hour is 3-6 weekdays, and you’ll definitely leave happier. Then again, that’s kinda guaranteed anytime you visit.
Do yourself a flavor 😉 and walk right on over from the streetcar or even the French Quarter. Should you take the ferry over here from Algiers? Well, I sure won’t discourage it!
Come hungry, thirsty, and ready for your life (or at least taste buds) to be improved.

I’m glad I came! The cocktail was great, the food is awesome with the right portion, and the vibe is also great, well decorated. Absolutely glad that I came here and have a change of taste from Creole and seafood. The Baja fish is awesome, my friend has steak and chicken Tinga. Elote tastes great! I didn’t like mezcal before but I absolutely like my drink here with Mezcal.
