The nicest people and such amazing food!! The service is amazing and attentive. We only had queso and a chicken quesadilla with rice and beans, all of it was were great. The rice was sooooo good. I highly recommend checking out this place and supporting this local restaurant!!

Outstanding tacos, and that's coming from a taco snob. The tortillas are ** homemade *" and some of the most tender and flavorful I've had -- you can really taste the corn and they aren't dry at all. And the carnitas are perfection. Most places that serve carnitas basically give you straight pulled pork. But here they take the time to actually crisp them so you get nice caramelized crunchy texture in there too.-- I took a photo of that so you can see for your. Owner is super nice, prices are very reasonable. Highly recommend and only wish I had started going sooner!

Great food, service and drinks!!! Authentic and fresh. Smoked salsa and the best enchiladas in the city.

So many thoughts... I was greeted when I walked in the door. They went over the very extensive menu with me. We selected the food and chips and guacamole. I knew the guacamole was fresh because I watched her make it from scratch in front of me. They kept me company while I waited. The food was plentiful, delicious and incredibly affordable. Food for dinner with left overs for less than $25 !!! I am going to try everything!!

Amazing Hispanic food. Finally the first Hispanic food place that is delicious and amazing to go to. This will be my go to spot for all hispanic food for as long as i am in New Orleans. There's a very lovely spot to sit at outside and people watch; my girlfriend and I loved it. It's right next to a large oyster bar as well so one can go grab a drink from there later.-The restaurant was clean but empty and so I sort of wish more people would go here to support the place. The owners are very nice and get all the food out rapidly. I want to keep it a secret but this place deserves a lot more business.-Google lists some deals that weren't present. It was 5 tacos for 11.50. It was about 50 bucks for 18 tacos.

This was by far the best Mexican food I've eaten in New Orleans. The service was incredible, the food was even better. Homemade everything, from the Margaritas to the Tortillas. It was delicious. Not sure it was Wheelchair accessible, but there is no doubt in my mind they would come out and carry your grandma inside! 5 stars! Will be back again! Super reasonable on price, but the quality is the real star. Can't wait to be hungry again.

Food is extremely fresh, seasonings are light, so you can taste the character or the quality ingredients. Chips were baked (not at all oily). The guacamole was outstanding (super fresh, light and crisp). Rice and beans were great. Everything is really good.The restaurant is quite cozy but does have some outdoor seating too. Only the outdoor seating is handicap friendly. There are more than a couple of steps to get inside.Vegetarian options: They have some vegetarian options and are good about customizing things from the menu.
