18 Best Taco Restaurants near Metairie

“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!“

“Cute and clean place with great atmosphere!We ordered pupusas, plato paisa, dessert and drinks. We left only empty plates there. Everything was delicious. Pupusas with the warm sauce-amazing! Grilled meats and shrimp-perfect, thick and tasty flan, refreshing rice water! Thank you for all.P.S. This place has All day menu and pictures of the food in the menu - this is very helpful.“

“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.“

“If you are expecting run-of-the-mill TexMex, this isn't your place. The creations here are quite flavorful! I ordered the smoked pork nachos and I thoroughly enjoyed it! The rocks house margarita was also unique and delicious. The place is very large and spacious. Parking is good and they also have a nice patio with outdoor seating. I will be coming back.“

“This was hands down the best delivery I have ever received, everything was hot, prepared perfect, I got everything I could have possibly needed or wanted. I can't wait to eat in house, thank you so much for a wonderful lunch when I was down in the weather. You truly brighten my “

“This is my first time here and I was pretty impressed The food was so fresh and the meat was so tender. My only complaint is they don't do shrimp tacos but that's fine The queso dip makes up for it. There's no dining inside but the outside was the vibe. Simple menu not much to overthink. Oh and we order the margarita picture and split it between three people It was enough for seconds.“

“Was in the garden district for a tour and wanted to grab a bite before. Found this place to have good reviews and it was not very busy on a Monday afternoon. We had the crab and sweet potato balls and pork tacos both amazing! Would recommend“

“This was a nice find. The outdoor eating space is quaint and has a wonderful atmosphere. The food was good but a little pricey for what you get. I had the braised pork tacos which were really tasty. My wife had a chicken quesadilla and we shared some chips and queso. We each had a margarita, her Jalepeno and me strawberry. Bill was just over 50.00 with tip. Give Barracuda a try, I think you will like it.“

“Amazing papusas. Like AMAZING. And great customer service!! I think they actually hand make them fresh to order. I asked for an order of mixed papusas but to add jalapeño to it and it was perfection. They sell in orders of 3 but I wanted 5 and they made that happen too. Even brought the food out to my car. If you’re anywhere near the airport, totally worth it.Parking: Maybe 1-2 spots directly in front of the shop but more spots in front of neighboring shops. Complex wasn’t busy when I went so parking was not an issue at all.“

“It was delicious thank you! Great customer service wasn't rushed super kind and she was willing to add ingredients that weren't even on the menu to accommodate what I was looking for ..we had steak asada and pork tacos both were good but that pork!! ?“

“It was my first time eating at this place, but surely not my last....***THE STAFF IS AMAZING, THE FOOD IS EXTREMELY DELICIOUS, AND THE SERVICE IS SIMPLY OUTSTANDING!EVERYTHING HAS BEEN WELL WORTH THE TRIP FROM MISSISSIPPI.***KEEP UP THE AMAZING WORK!“

“We sat at the bar and Odessa was our bartender . She was amazing! Super kind and answered all our menu questions. The only downside was a server (I think his name was Quinton or Quincy?) was extremely rude to us and to Odessa and other servers. It was honestly super uncomfortable and we felt bad for the other staff. But, food was super tasty and drinks awesome!!“

“It's been a little tricky for me to find vegan food in New Orleans. I'm so grateful to have stumbled across this restaurant! I had the cauliflower, the nopalitos, and the mushroom tacos and they were divine! The atmosphere is also wonderful. My mom is on a scooter and she was able to drive right up to a table for dining. What a great experience!“

“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“

“Such a cute place! We were going to eat at another restaurant near by, but they couldn’t accommodate. Walked to Vals and they were so quick! The food and drinks were amazing and the staff were so sweet! Definitely want to come back with some friends when I visit again.“

“Quiet & cute Mexican restaurant tucked away from the hustle and bustle of New Orleans busy streets. The vibe is chill, the drinks are all amazing, and the food is beyond delicious! The owner is very friendly and personable. The staff is very knowledgeable of the menu and friendly. As I was newly diagnosed with celiac disease, it was so refreshing & comforting to find out most of their menu with the exception of their tortas are gluten-free. Definitely while in NOLA a must experience restaurant!“

“Pork Belly Tacos were pretty good. I tried them with both the flour and corn tortillas, and both versions were fine, with the corn tortillas holding together quite well without breaking.Guacamole for the chips was prepared simply & classically with just avocado and lime.There are two hidden dining area in the back, which are open-air.“

“Probably as authentic as you'd find around the city + outside of Mexico. I've never been a huge fan of chicken tacos but these were wonderful! So fresh tasting, so simple--like authentic tacos should be. Add in some grilled onions, cilantro, fresh salsa, lime, salt...BUENO! Thank you for bringing a slice of great Mexican cuisine to the city! I will be be back to eat these in the parking lot again!“
