“Since they reopened as a stand alone Taco Bell, the food and service has been absolutely phenomenal compared to what it used to be. The staff is so friendly that I couldn’t even be mad that they didn’t have my cheesy potatoes the night I went. They offered me another option at no extra charge. Please continue to praise the people for the great job that they are doing.”

“My wife and I took the ferry over and checked out this outdoor restaurant, which is cute and converted from an old gas station. Unfortunately, the prices are pretty high for what you get - $4 for a two-bite taco and $36 for a pitcher of house margaritas. The margaritas were pretty weak - not a hint of a buzz afterward. Nice setting, but hard to justify the prices.”

“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!”

“It's tacos, but a little more gentrified! That's not always a bad thing. It's not MIND BLOWING, but the tacos are pretty good, if you're tired of the classic food-truck taco. I would recommend trying it if you like tacos in general.”

“I love the salsa from Juan's. Although the restaurant has a great atmosphere occasionally I like to swing by and pick up chips & salsa to enjoy with a margarita at home. The staff is always friendly and there is nothing on the menu that isn't good.”

“Visited on Dec 30. Why eat Mexican when in Nola? Because it is world class. Easily a top 5 meal and I have a long list of amazing restaurants visited. I’ll start with the end. Get the desserts. Save room. They are amazing. We opted for both the FLAN and the MASA TRES LECHES. The latter was moist, light and life changing. The flan was rich and fulfilling. The menu is small but MIGHTY. The cocktails were well thought out and varied. We started with the AGUACHILES VERDE and TUNA TOSTADA. Both were fresh, flavorful and authentic. A few bites each for two of us. For the main portions, we chose the CHOCHOYOTES and ARROZ NEGRO. The former is a Mexican influenced play on southern collared greens. More of a side but amazing on its own. A very worthy pair to the main character of this meal, the ARROZ NEGRO. Corn smut sounds terrible but it is delicious. The mussels, squid and shrimp add a Nola flair to this amazing dish. It is very rich and a solid portion. Flavors and texture for days. Plus a bit of umami from the huitlacoche. It is a bit pricy. Total before tip for 2 of us was $250. That included 5 cocktails, 4 dishes and 2 desserts.”

His personality was so refreshing and genuine. The tacos we had were just perfect. Don’t hesitate to come just do. Service and food was perfection.”

“I'm 50+ years old. Have been to countless restaurants in the US and mexico (Cancun 12 times) and the meal I had tonight was the best I've ever had. The cocktails were great. The service was great. Didn't wait long because somehow we were the only 2 people in the place. It was a Tuesday, and we did have early reservations. (4:30) Not complaining cuz I was able to lie to the wife and tell her I booked the entire restaurant for her. (Yes, she knew I was joking) Now, the food was amazing. I already knew what I was ordering but saw the menu of small plates that wasn't on the menu online and decided to try those after eating a couple of the appetizers. Enjoyed every single thing I tried and after the wife tossed in the towel I still went for the Cantonese fried rice. I thought I was done eating until I was told what was in the dessert. Well worth the stomach cramps I now have as I write this review. Happily people start arriving as we were leaving. I strongly suggest to anyone who spent the time to read all my gibberish and go to this restaurant.........................FYI, this is the first time I've ever felt like I needed to write a review.”

Shrimp quesadillas were good! And service was great too. We unfortunately ran into a lot of rude people working in the bourbon st/canal area but this was the BEST service we got!”

And if you're thirsty get one of their snowballs to beat the heat. Strawberry Guava is the one I'd recommend 👌🏾.”

“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 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???”

“Personally, I think this Juan’s location tastes the best out of the 3 I’ve tried (LGD, oak, and CBD). I always get the surf punk with rice instead of potatoes, and it is so good. Their customer service is excellent and always help me change my customization when placing it online since there isn’t a way to sub rice instead of the potatoes. They are also very fast and gets my pickup order ready before the estimated time at times. The drinks are also great! Excellent staff and food!”

“Came in town from Houston. This place is beautiful with a nice atmosphere! It’s definitely a vibe. Our server Kelvin made it extra special. Tonight was a special event so they cleared the place out a little early which messed up the vibe. So just a suggestion, maybe set the standard at time of reserving the space. We were vibing and didn’t want to leave. Definitely a good time so when I’m back in town I will come back.”

“I have been coming here for 20 years or close to it. I love the hamburgers, garbage can nachos, spaghetti and meatballs, lasagna, spinach and shrimp quesadillas, ribs, and recently discovered the Baja taco with salmon this summer. That’s my favorite go to meal now!!! I usually got a margarita on the rocks with dinner. But changed it up with a watermelon daiquiri with tajin on the rim. Delicious! This was one of my mom’s favorite places too. I sure miss going there with her sharing a hamburger together and having margaritas. Great neighborhood restaurant.”

“This place is a typical hole-in-the-wall (small and older looking) but the food and service is fantastic. I gave the atmosphere 5 stars because I knew what I was getting into, but this is not a place to go for atmosphere. Lol. I had the burrito asada with rice and beans, and it was large enough that I cut it in half and brought the rest home for another meal. Chips and salsa are extra - but the salsa is worth it!”
