“always consistently good.“

“This Taco Bell is close to my house, I never had any issues with my orders since I've been coming here. My food is usually ready within 5 minutes and is your normal Taco Bell flavors. Some of the employees are friendlier than other but again I never had any issues.“

“Sebastian is the best!!!!!!! Ask for him…..he went out of his way to make our wedding anniversary so special and fun!!! The whole restaurant is so fun and the best time! We loved everyone there! I have been many times and every time is such a fun experience!!!! #askforsebastion“

“Wild South is the best place to enjoy a cozy, delicious meal focused on Southern cuisine.
We went on a Wednesday night the week before Christmas, so it was slower than normal, which allowed us to sit at the chef's table and get unfettered attention from the staff and chefs. We ordered the 5 course prefix menu, and everything came perfectly timed, and perfectly portioned, to the point where we left satisfied but not overly full. I paired this with their Sherry flight, which allowed me to experience a wide range of styles they have to offer.
The first course was an escabeche-esque snapper, eaten in a rice cracker. The second course was an ode to New England style chowder. Both items were not listed on the menu at the time.
We were interrupted by an intermezzo of uni and trout roe topped chicken schnitzel bites, followed by the vegetable course of broccolini, carrots and peppers, topped with a pumpkin XO sauce, and goat creme fraiche.
The main course was a brined and one-week dry-aged pork chop, with radicchio and sweet potatoes.
Pre-dessert was a refreshing scoop of strawberry sorbet, and dessert was a nod to chocolate mint ice cream, but with merengue and toasted sesame, along with Creole cream cheese custard with strawberries and poached carrots.
Overall we had an amazing time, enjoying our camaraderie with the chefs and staff, and would highly recommend going back and enjoying a meal with friends. We will definitely be back when we return to New Orleans.“

“Everything they have the best authentic Mexican food in town! The tacos and rice, beans and elote are the best!!! 🥰❤️🌮🌽🫘“

“It's okay. Teenage hang out in a good neighborhood. Clean. Counter service and plenty of seating options. Need more grilled options and more seafood.

Kid-friendliness: Every other table had a gang of female teenagers. They were appropriately loud and obnoxious, yet safe. I'd let my 16 year old daughter go there with friends, I'm not sure I would go for dine in again. Maybe return for takeout.“

“We never knew this place even existed. Last time we looked it was an abandoned home. The menu was diverse with Mexican, po boys, and some Mediterranean. We all had tacos, birria and fish and they were all great with generous servings. The home made salsa was a nice treat. Give this place a try and don't overlook it. Note that there is off-street parking in the back.“

“Not only El Paso has great food but the service is 5 stars!! ⭐️ Giselle Buddle helped us and was always on point, with friendly service suggesting the different types of plates and ingredients in them. Go to El Paso Restaurant in Metairie, ask for Giselle, she will compliment your experience at El Paso Rest. I recommend her!!“

“fui de visita y disfrute de la comida y la grata atención. lo recomiendo full.“

“A nice garden setting in an urban/industrial area. Popular for a reason. They were a little slow on the service the night we went, but honestly, we didn't even notice until they offered free refills of our margaritas as an apology. Class act! Fall/winter/spring recommend since the summer in the swamp is oppressive. Consider to-go when it's hot.“

“amazing authentic Mexican food!“

“I had an event for 50 High School students catered by Felipes and it was perfect. I ordered the Taco Bar and they hit a homerun. There was plenty of food - it arrived on time and still hot. The delivery person helped me get the food inside which I appreciated. Everything that we ordered was there and there was enough food for some leftovers. The students all raved about how great the food was and how excited they were about the cheese dip and chicken tacos. The ordering process on the front end was easy - and the employee Samantha was able to help me adjust the order the day of the event. Outstanding service! A+ FOR FELIPES!“

“Staying nearby and drove by a few times and saw it was always busy. Walked up for an early dinner and couldn’t have been more impressed. Great people, great atmosphere and unbelievably delicious food made with fresh ingredients. Also found everything reasonably priced. Very happy that we trusted in our rule of eating where the locals go. How have they not been featured on the Food Network???“

“Found this place almost by accident and immediately didn't regret it. The restaurant was clean, well managed, and had a friendly staff.

We ordered a variety of favorites and we were pleased that they were authentic and flavorful.
The prices were excellent considering every other restaurant nearby is an overproduced chain restaurant.

Highly recommend and will make it a venture in future visits to NOLA.“

“We decided to try them for lunch today! The tamales were fresh and so good. Allan had the agave burrito and I had the chicken enchilada and ranch hand taco. The place was clean, the service and food was excellent!“

“Why is it so bright in there? We love the original Juan's on Magazine, and we miss our favorite server there now that we live closer to the one on Oak. I just wish this location had the same dark atmosphere as the original. I appreciate that the music isn't as loud, but it's just not the same.

Kid-friendliness: They have kid options like bowls with beans and rice or plain quesadillas. They also have menus that they can color with crayons.“

“Best Street Tacos since I was in Southern California! these ladies know what they're doing! I stop every time I go to the VA“

“The enchiladas are the best thing I have ever eaten. Omg.“

“Just found this restaurant a couple months back. . Every time we have gone the avocado salad is fantastic and food is really good will continue to go Lucky to have a place like this in Westwego.“

“Great ambiance and exquisite food. Joshua made our night very special with his great service. Un lugar muy elegante, tranquilo y lejos del bullicio de la ciudad. Highly recommended 🥰“

“Without a doubt... the HIGHEST QUALITY carne asada I ever had. We ordered fajitas and a breakfast bowl. Both were dynamite. The breakfast bowl came with chorizo, and it was great -- not super greasy like chorizo I had at other places. Chips and salsa were perfect too. Highly recommend!“

“Found this gem of a spot and what a delicious first meal of our trip! Shrimp taco, steak taco, pork taco, quesadilla- all were SO good! We all left the table satisfied! We sat outside and enjoyed people watching while we ate. The patio was comfortable and had so much to see.“

“♥️♥️♥️♥️ this place! Great food great service.“

“What a diamond in the rough! The owner brought out a little setup and made our guacamole dip in front of us while he told us stories of his place and how it started. He was as much of the experience as an authentic Mexican restaurant in the middle of Cajun land. The food was great and came out quickly. If you like Mexican food, this is definitely a stop for you while in New Orleans. We got the taco plates with beef.

“Had lunch today and it was excellent, as was our server! We had the smoked pork taco salad and it’s enough for 3 meals, it’s probably one of the best salads in the city. And the honey bbq wings were delicious! Will definitely be back and it was great to see management presence. Marc stopped by our table a few times. Highly recommend!“

“definitely recommend!! this restaurant has the best tacos i’ve ever tasted and my food came out very quick😊. On top of all of this my waiter was super friendly and very stunning will definitely come again !!“

“Great customer service! Great food, highly recommend this place.“

“Food, Service, Atmosphere 10/10 fire music selection loud enough to enjoy and vibe. But still at a great level for conversation and intimate time with guest. Keep the music ROLLING! Staff amazing, polite, energetic, and professional. I recommend the BIG A$$ Burrito, DUI Fries, Birria, and Queso Shrimp Tacos. Not my first time and won’t be my last time at tacos & beer!“

“Best fajitas ever! My favorite Mexican restaurant!“

“Best Mexican food in Chalmette. I have visited all in the area. Not only is this one price friendly, the food is sooooooo good. I had the birria and they were 10/10. The restaurant itself is cute and spacious. Very clean and the customer service is exceptional. Definitely can tell it’s family oriented. This will be my new spot!“

“We enjoyed several dishes from the Hatch Chile menu and some Top Shelf Margs. Everything was absolutely delicious. Shout out to Marlon for friendly and attentive service! I've been coming here for 20+ years and always enjoyed it, but this was a stand out experience all around. Will be back soon!“

“A True Gem in Metairie! I am so thrilled to have finally found a restaurant in Metairie that gets everything right! Velvet Cactus is, without a doubt, a 5-star experience from top to bottom. In an city where customer service often seems like a lost art, this place stands out as a shining example of how it should be done. The absolute highlight of our visit was the incredible service we received from Sharon Davis. She was attentive, friendly, and genuinely seemed to enjoy making sure we had a great experience. It was so refreshing to be taken care of by someone with such a wonderful and positive attitude. Sharon is a true asset to the restaurant, and her exceptional service alone is a reason to come back. Of course, the food was just as impressive. Every single dish we ordered was packed with flavor and cooked to perfection. From the appetizers to the main course, you can tell there's real care and quality coming out of that kitchen. To top it all off, the environment is fantastic. The decor is fun and vibrant, creating a lively and enjoyable atmosphere that’s perfect for a night out. We will absolutely be back, and we'll be asking for Sharon! If you're looking for delicious food and service that will leave you smiling, look no further than Velvet Cactus. Highly, highly recommended!“

“great food quick service filling“

“This place has been around for a few years but I went back last night for a girls night and let me tell you they were amazing . I noticed that they changed the way they plated the food and added a few touches like grilled pineapple & an edible flower . I don’t remember the guys name who served us but it was his first day and he was perfect ! He got all of our orders correct , made all 12 of us our special alcoholic beverages in a timely manner . He was very sweet & friendly . The vibe was perfect ! 10/10 🥰“
