“Lagos Tacos is a gem! I had the shrimp quesadilla and it was packed with flavor and perfectly cheesy. My sister ordered tacos and they looked incredible, so I’ll definitely be back to try those next. I also tried the agua de jamaica and honestly it was the best I’ve ever had, refreshing and perfectly balanced. The service was super friendly, the atmosphere is cozy and cute, and they even have snowballs. Highly recommend!“

The eating area was really well shaded with fans blowing, making it a very pleasant dining experience. The food was really good. I had a steak taco and a pork taco. Both excellent. I would absolutley come back.“

“Hands down this is the best taco truck in New Orleans. Great service. You can go spend 20 minutes in the drive-through at McDonald’s around the corner or you could get 100 times better quality food at this taco truck in less than 10 mins. Highly recommend. this is my go-to for lunch. Family owned, local people you should support. Cash only yes, and do leave a tip, these people work so hard and are there every damn day ready to feed me great authentic food.“

“Unfortunately I wasn’t able to take a before picture of the chicken quesadilla but I do have an after picture lol. That was by far one of the best quesadillas I’ve ever eaten. It’s spicy and very delicious. I wanted to take a picture of my food but it was so good that I couldn’t stop eating it. ? Also here’s a pic of the truck. When I come back, I will update a new picture of the chicken quesadilla plate before I eat it, probably tomorrow.“

“Slightly delayed review but who cares. While I no longer live in New Orleans, this is one of my favorite places I’d been to. I still dream of my dinner from NYE 2022 🤤 I believe it was a rabbit mole, which was absolutely 🔥 and the huitlacoche quesadilla. The mole is forever imprinted on my soul!“
