Taqueria Corona has some of the best tacos I’ve ever had—hands down. If you’re in New Orleans, don’t miss the chance to eat at this authentic Mexican restaurant. The fish tacos are probably the best I’ve had anywhere, and the variety is incredible: tongue, carne asada, fish, blackened fish, blackened shrimp, chicken—and yes, even classic American-style tacos if that’s your thing. Every bite tastes fresh, flavorful, and made with care. Whether you’re a taco purist or someone looking to try something new, this place delivers. Highly recommend!

Taqueria Corona is the kind of neighborhood gem that makes you feel lucky to live nearby. From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere that captures the spirit of a true Mexican taqueria. The food is consistently flavorful and fresh—whether it’s their sizzling carne asada tacos, generously stuffed burritos, or the addictively crispy chips and house-made salsa that start off every meal just right. It’s clear the ingredients are thoughtfully sourced and the kitchen takes pride in delivering authentic flavors without unnecessary frills.

What really sets Taqueria Corona apart, though, is the heart behind the service. The staff is always friendly, attentive, and quick to recognize returning faces, adding a personal touch that’s rare in most casual eateries. The prices are fair, the portions satisfying, and it’s the kind of spot where both quick takeout and slow dinners with friends feel equally right. Whether you’re rolling in for a weekday lunch or winding down with a cold beer and enchiladas after work, it never disappoints. A true staple for the neighborhood.

Bland food, mediocre service, the “ribeye” tacos were so hard it was difficult to chew through. Hadn’t been in a long time and tonight I remembered why. Really disappointed and annoyed.

Good Mexican food.

My SO and I ordered Numero Tres, which included a buritto, a flauta, and we each had 3 tacos. Good amount of food for a reasonable price. Due to the late hour and time it took for our server to check in we decided to take food to go. The following day, I heated up my flauta, bit into it and instantly felt an object in my mouth, which turned out to be a toothpick. Looked into the flauta, and there was a 2nd one. This could've been a pretty awful situation. My SO called the following day to report the situation with hopes no one else has the same experience, and it was confirmed that they often place toothpicks in the flautas. My SO suggested they let customers know. She was asked what she wanted them to do and offered another plate of food, which was declined by my SO.

seems like an overcrowded hole-in-one-wall. Friday at 5pm and there's a 10+ minute wait for 2 people? ordered a cocktail while waiting on the corner by the entrance because there's no bar to sit at. the sangria just tasted like cheap syrup. only had guacamole and salsa which was fine, so I can't say anything about the entrees.

The best Mexican food in town! This place has become a second home. Just look at the wall of family pictures sent to them. Everything is quality and made fresh. This is family owned and operated and they take time to make each customer feel the same love they put into their food. Ed is also a swiftie and the best waiter in town!!!! The mom who cooks the food on the grill is gorgeous and hasn't aged a single day in 20 years. The handmade salsa options are elite! The tacos meat is delicious and not greasy at all. There are few places we frequent weekly this is the top one for many years! I love corona and run into so many locals here it feels like a secret club. The music, laughter, and clean atmosphere keeps me returning! No matter how busy they are- they take the time to catch up with you on your life and tell stories of their own. No frills or judgement. When you enter those doors you are treated as a member of their family. This is true NOLA vibes and I honestly have nothing bad to say about this. I was raised in Texas and frequent Mexico often. This is the most authentic cuisine the city has to offer. Much love and to many more years of success!

Consistently great for casual, non-NOLA food. Shrimp flautas are the best!

I have been eating here since the 1990's when I lived just a few blocks away. Often make it a lunch spot when I am in town. Only place I have ever had a shrimp flauta - delicious! I love everything they make and I love the small friendly vibe of this place.
