Mexican Restaurants near Westwego

“I've been a regular for almost 2 years, personally and professionally. The food is high quality and the atmosphere is fun! The employees are like family. They remember you and will go out of the way to give you a great experience. I'd give them more stars if I could. Love them!!“

“?????????? I just visited this place on 02/06/24. Is this the same place in WESTWEGO...that has the KFC and ? TACO BELL combined??? I have seen the reviews??? I must have been in another dimension when I ate here with a coworker on Tuesday, AGH. The young lady that took our order around 10:30 - 10:45 a.m. for 3 crunchy taco's as a to go, but we decided to eat in....was amazing. Courteous, patient, smiling...we were on phones having conversations and even bickering between ourselves...me and one of my besties. The taco's were hot, tasty, fresh, crispy, full of meat and delicious. Trust me ...more than I have eaten in months. WHAT? Have you been to a Taco Bell across the river??? When this is the only thing they specialize in and it still CACA!!! We got taco's, while immersed in gravy laden chicken bowls paraphernalia and a 7 dollar KFC special that kept tap dancing on our CRANIUMS. The service again...please I didn't keep my receipt. This young lady needs KUDOS!!! Go here. What are you bougie Taco Bell prima donnas waiting on??? Some of y'all in ya sour cream / DIABLO sauce feelings. BTW...don't come for me...truss me. I have a KFC drumstick ? waiting on ya.“

“Juan's Flying Burrito exceeded my expectations, even with a DoorDash order. The queso was absolutely phenomenal, earning its spot as a must-try item. Additionally, the Build Your Own bowl was both delicious and incredibly filling—I couldn't even finish it! I highly recommend Juan's Flying Burrito for anyone craving tasty and satisfying Mexican food.“

“I went fearful of what I could find, I was looking for Mexican food and I found this oasis, I'm from Houston Tx and never thought I would find the best birria at this place, service was excellent and price very affordable, ambiance was excellent, the place is super nice.“

“Latin American food at its best! Interesting menu and big portions with home cooked flavors. Don't miss the wonderful hand crafted cocktails made with care by the owner himself. So yummy! The wait staff were friendly and attentive. We enjoyed a leisurely dinner.“

“Awesome restaurant with delicious tacos and quesadillas. One time my Uber driver stole my order and when I went to pickup the food, Tacos del Cartel remade the whole order on the house! The inside decor is amazing and cozy for couples on dates!“

“This was a phenomenal dining experience at every level. The tasting was 85pp which is well worth it. The beef tongue was the best I've ever had, it was wildly tender. The tuna steak was similarly killer. Every dish was top notch. (Full disclosure the quail had the feet and my wife was off put, however I didn't mind). The staff was attentive, helpful, and warm. A strong recommend in a city that is already dense with great food.“

“Really cool outdoor space with good food, great for groups and vibey dates. If you want to eat outside, this is a top choice. You order at the window so the service is real quick and easy. Ordered a few tacos, the queso, and a bowl. So the tacos were ok, no real complaints. But the bowl is where it’s at. Beans and rice and guacamole and choice of protein and you can add broccoli and mushrooms. Great meal, really filling and delicious. The queso was unique, I added the chili and it came with pomegranate so it was a mixture of spice and sweet. Also, don’t sleep on the frozen mango margarita. Delish. This’ll be the happening spot as the weather warms up!“

“Beautiful area, but the soup is always very salty and it gets really busy. It's best to order online and pick up. They do have a lovely patio but with fake grass :/ and it's usually crawling with kids and rarely an adult.Parking: Not many spots and is usually full“

“Hands down the BEST Mexican food experience our family has ever had! The ladies who took care of us were extremely friendly and accommodating, took time to explain the menu to us and make recommendations. Beyond that, the food was absolutely outstanding. The meats and veggies were fresh and the flavors were bountiful. This place is severely unassuming but worth the trip to the outskirts of town. Do yourself a favor and make your way to Taqueria 2 Brothers—you’ll thank me later.“

“I really wanted to hate this place. Another hipster gentrifying the neighborhood with their pseudo-ethnic cuisine. This rich boy, Banksy buying, carpet bagger…. I so very much wanted to hate it. But I couldn’t. It was just too good. The food was delicious. The prices were just right. The authentic tile work and gas station bathroom were absolutely delightful. The servers were raw and righteous. The way the owner spoke…. The little frogs…. The whole vibe just felt right. I couldn’t hate it. I loved it.“

“This legitimately is the best Mexican food I've ever had in my entire life. The chicken quesadillas w pico de gallo and the beef gorditas ... are actually life-changing. I will only be ordering my Mexican food from here on out. Wow And the ladies who cooked everything were so kind. Bless you for such a great, delicious meal and thank you!“

“Very impressive. Food was great the service was friendly and spot on. No wait at all to be seated. All of our dishes came out on a timely order fresh and hot. The flavors were delicious.Kid-friendliness: They have a kids menu and the waiters are extremely nice and patient with the children.“

“I didn’t see any flying burritos … except the one that flew into my mouth!I stopped in here on February 4th 2024 and grabbed a burrito to go (brought it over to Oak St. Brewery). It was Sunday afternoon and the place was packed! There was a wonderful energy to the place.I had their flagship Flying Burrito. It comes with grilled steak, shrimp, and chicken. It was very good, and more that one person should consume at one sitting. But, of course, I ate the whole damn thing! I couldn't put it down!I can't wait for my next visit!“

“We finally made it back to New Orleans on a day that Casa Borrega was open, so after unloading we walked over and had yet another delicious authentic Mexican meal! We love the atmosphere, food and the musician did a great job as well! We tend to stay with the Mexican street food but you really can’t go wrong with anything they make!“

“Just amazing. The queso is the best I've had. So good!!! A bit of a wait if it's busy but well worth it!!!!Vegetarian options: Nit a ton but every dish can have rice and beans and be delicious. Not sure what beans are cooked with but when I asked if it was animal broth they said no.“

“My friends and I hit this place almost every Tuesday night!!! My fav is the carnitas taco! Chips are warm, salsa is the perfect spice!! Have had several other menu items and all have been great! Seem to have the same waitstaff, we've probably had all of them several times. All very nice, attentive and friendly! Fun atmosphere. Clean restrooms. Plenty of parking.Wheelchair accessibility: Tight squeeze between tables but they can be moved to accommodate.“

“Taqueria Guerrero has never disappointed since it had it. Small place but definitely provides when I'm craving Mexican cuisine. Laid back environment and I've never seen more than 4 other people in there but they do have plenty of takeout orders. The workers are always friendly and patient and the food is good as well. Only things I don't like are that there is barely any parking and I'm not a huge fan of the salsa.“

“3rd coming here and it never fails. The service is the best service anyone could experience. They are so friendly. Valentina was over the top friendly. Made us feel like family. I recommend the arepas they are so delicious. They won me as a client. It’s a must to come here!“

“Food was tasty. Portions were large. Service was friendly and efficient. Good value. A great addition to Uptown. Side salad with chicken was delicious. Quality tacos - no skimping on filling. My meal was big enough for me to take home enough for a second dinner. It is a new favorite.“

“We absolutely loved this place! The entire menu is gluten free, the food is fantastic, and the staff are truly wonderful. The tacos were pretty small, so we were glad to have an appetizer before our meal. For that, we had the crawfish queso, which was one of the most delicious dishes we've had in NOLA. I Highly recommend this place!Vegetarian options: Lots of great & interesting veggie options!Dietary restrictions: The entire menu is gluten free!“

“Our favorite Mexican restaurant in New Orleans. The owners are hands on and make it a treat to support local businesses. Everything we have had is fantastic but the Enchiladas Suizas are our favorite item. Edwin’s margaritas are the bomb“

“These are the most fabulous tacos I've had in years and their only peer in New Orleans is Casa Borega. Skillet fried soft corn tortillas full of fabulous beef and fillings. I tried three sauces the red arbol the red tomatillo and the guaca salsa. All were delicious but the red arbol is what spicy should be. Enough to make you sit up and take notice but not ruin the rest of your meal. This is way far from my house but I will be back.“

“We came on a Wednesday evening, so it wasn’t busy. Our waitress was great. Food was delicious. We got the fajitas and some margaritas that were delicious. Enjoyed the fresh fruit in our margaritas. Loved that they asked how well done we wanted our fajitas. They came out perfect! Will definitely go back on our text trip.“

“Service is outstanding, prices are reasonable and food is fantastic! Ceviche was perfect and queso was best I've ever eaten. Our table was served fish tacos- fresh and filling, cheese, poblano and chicken enchiladas-full of flavor and made to order, chicken tacos- out of this world. Dessert was a moist rum cake and Mexican Mousse. You can't go wrong here.“

“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???“

“I was just at Okay Bar for a Persian New Year event and had the best time!! For a Tuesday night at any bar, I wasn't sure what to expect. As soon as I got there, it was music and good vibes flowing out the doors! I had a drink within minutes and into the vibrant crowd I went dancing haha. An amazing Persian food pop-up guest starring for the night called Baba Joon! Apparently they hadn't popped up since last Summer, so the people really came to support! Wasn't sure I'd get to try it with how popular they looked but they moved through the line quickly and I got to try a few dishes! Really glad I made it over to Okay Bar! More than okay with me! :)“

“There is never a bad dish or drink here. My favs are the shrimp quesadilla, the nopales tacos, and the happy hour specials ? ?This place is a MUST GO TO in New Orleans, it is typically one of our first stops (we have been coming here since my husband and i were dating and that was damn near 8 years ago). Did I mention that the outdoor seating is both kid and dog friendly????Everything there is delicious. GO NOW.Vegetarian options: The Nopales are killer!!!Kid-friendliness: Large yard for kids to run around in.“

“I popped in at a seemingly slow period around 3ish or so. I've been here a few times . I never really get that welcoming vibe(my experience) but the food is always Pretty Good.Anyway this day I ordered the chicken Quesadilla meal...it came with bean and rice on the side...a small portion of Guac...sour creme..tomatoes...1st off my Quesadill wasn't cut.....ok. 2nd my Chicken Quesadill was so bland it literally just looked like shredded chicken inside a tortilla....no peppers no cheese...SADCASEADILLAI FELT NO LOVE WAS PUT INTO THE MAKING OF THISILL GIVE IT A 2.9 OUT OF 5“

“I love this place ! I come here at least 4 times a month. The best people and service ! Would definitely recommend and whoever don’t like it is crazy ! I come here often the minute I walk in they know what I want . I recommended this restaurant to so many people I know and they love it too. My food is always fresh and hot . Great drinks and tacos !“

“This is my favorite restaurant. Staff is kind. I order to go from here all the time. It's always ready when the staff says it will be. I think they have the best burritos and pupusas in town, certainly on the West Bank. The fajitas are incredible and fairly portioned for the price. My daughter loves their quesadillas. Took my brothers here when they came into town too, they loved it as well.“

“Came during Happy Hour and got the margs. Them boys are delicious and strong!! Whew, I was turnt after two of them. Our sever was awesome. The $2 Tuesday street taco deal was really great, too!! Nice-sized flavorful tacos with a kick. I totally recommend coming here! ♥️“

“Always one of my favorite places to grab a quick bite. Staff is always super friendly and haven’t had anything missing from an order in all my years going here. I know all the rest have closed, I really hope this one stays around because I love it so “

“I am in heaven cause it’s taco Tuesday!? The best day of the week at zocalo! Margaritas are even better (every day). This is my new go to place! Forget those other places around come here and ask for Rene’. She the best server!!! Manager Javier is great too!Vegetarian options: They have cauliflower tacos and mushroom tacos. They have many other vegetarian choices.“

“I was born on Jefferson Highway and after eating the amazing food here I can happily die of a food coma on Jefferson Highway. Portions were very surprising in their generosity. The service was perfect. We didn’t have a single server, it was awesome teamwork. The interactions and conversations were relaxed and welcoming. We are already planning to return.“

“First time here. Ordered the Quesa tacos with chicken. Price wasn’t bad for 3 flour tacos. Service was good and the menu choices were great. The quesadilla was small for the price. Could have been bigger with added sides other than a dollop of guacamole. Other than that, great experience and food!“

“I happened to hear the review on the place on the radio and decided to try it. I’m happy that I did. I ordered theYuca Con Chicharron and chicken tamale. The first dish was larger than I thought, but it was delicious. I haven’t eaten the tamale yet, since I was full from the first dish. But I look forward to doing so later. I got to meet and talk with the father of the business, and it was very pleasant, as he gave me samples of certain foods and informed about why his tortitas are different than others. It was very informative. One of his sons was a chef at Emeril’s, and a New York magazine rated Mawi as a top ten best restaurants in New Orleans. Im looking forward to another visit“

“I was in the area and saw this place. I went and tried it out. I was expecting more from the menu. However, I tried the Pechuga de pollo a la plancha. This food was delicious and plentiful. The presentation was great. They took great care in preparing the food and placing on the plate. The food was served hot. The service was excellent and the staff enjoyed their jobs. The atmosphere was nice and clean. They played music overhead. I will definitely return to this place. You will not be disappointed with this restaurant.“

“This is as one of the best El Paso's I've ever been to. Possibly the best Mexican restaurant I've even been to. The inside is cute and decorated. Our server was amazing and helpful. We also got 2 for 1 margarita mango and they were a little sweet but I honestly love sweeter cocktails. The food was absolutely amazing, we got the special for $13 steak fajita and barbecue chicken quesadilla. Everything was so fresh and it was a pretty large portion of steak. Food came out really quick in like 10 minutes. Overall I would absolutely recommend you visit despite the other reviews. Maybe it's under new management or they're just doing better in every way possible. Try it for yourself !!!“

“We stopped at this cute little place on the way back home and they had plenty of ice cream and snack options. We LOVED the churros, they are so fresh and delicious we ate it all before we could get a picture but we highly recommend if you do give this place a try. My son enjoyed his super man ice cream. My mangos with chamoy & tajin was also good.“

“Great food and atmosphere. I would highly recommend in this restaurant to anyone. Great place to go and it won’t break the bank.Parking: Pull into the parking lot and walk in, unless it’s a holiday or event, then you may need to arrive early.Kid-friendliness: There are many of high chairs in the restaurant and a kid friendly menuWheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair can be used throughout the facility“

“I love this place and have been several times now. The salsa is served warm and is addictive. The birria is on point and the aguachile is so refreshing. The mitcheladas are so good and gigantic with all the takin and chamoy you need. Have yet to be disappointed be this place. 10/10“

“I Always LOVE coming here. The regulars are fun....Always great conversations...and I just can't get enough of Gabby and the Manager Jarrell. They are both so personable and remember not just me but everyone that I saw come to the bar. TY Felipe'“

“Panchita’s never does me wrong. The camarones a la diabla are spicy, fresh shrimp goodness. The enchiladas are spot on (I like the salsa verde but there’s no bad choice). The queso fiesta is perfection. And just say large to the house margarita. (And why not just go ahead and at least ask about the flan and the churros?)“

“Came here for lunch during the work week. Only off street parking so be prepared to parallel park. Nice decor and service. They are diligent and giving you plenty of salsa and chips which is always a great way to start. I got the ceviche as my meal which was well done. Next time I will try their tacos. This is one of the chain location's in the area.“

“It is absolutely a real Mexican culinary experience. I go there at least once a month. Depending on who's taking your order (unless you speak Spanish) you might have to point to what you want on their menu. And with minimal sign language and a few awkward minutes waiting, you'll definately be impressed by the food.Parking: Parking sucks bc jerks next door won't let anyone in, it's an empty, unoccupied building!“

“The birria tacos were divine. They were juicy, tender, and had just the right amount of cheese. The tortillas were nice and crispy. The sauce was amazing and I loved how they gave the hot sauce on the side so you can decide how spicy you like it. We also got a steak quesadilla and it was delicious.The service was excellent, and the atmosphere is laid back and friendly. The price wasn’t bad considering how good the food was, and we got a first time discount. We paid around $30 for two birria plates and one steak quesadilla (with discount)“

“This is a vary small place with great food. The employees are vary friendly. The food is made fresh every day. The Taco Nicaraguans corn tortilla with beef an vary spicy is great.. 3 for $7.80'. Try the Yucca , Spanish pastries stuffed with ground beef is wonderful only $9.00 . And the Flan is great. YouMust go there it has the best food an not pricey.“

“Small restaurant in a strip mall. Very busy for a weekday lunch. Ordered to go. Food was almost ready when I arrived. Server obviously had her hands full with to go and tables, still very pleasant. Ordered a kids beef burrito meal ($8.99) and an adult Enchiladas La Loca with green sauce ($11.99). Both entrees were very good in flavor and ample in portions. Chips and salsa came with the order, and the salsa had a nice kick to it. To go charge of 99 cents was added, which I think is reasonable, since I"ve worked in the restaurant business and know the cost of to go items is not negligible. In fact, I'd rather pay a to go charge than have the cost of the items on the menu go up and I have to pay an inflated price because of to go orders (and Uber Eats, and Door Dash...). Now, it would have been nice if there had been TWO sets of plasticware included. We will be back for more to go.“
