What our guests are saying
This place was recommended by a few different people that I work with. My shift decided to come after work and I am so glad that we did. The Margaritas were amazing, I had the Watermelon and Strawberry Dream. The Guacomole was soo good and they make it right in front of u. The rice and beans are authentic. I got the enchilada tri plate and a fish and shrimp burrito to go. I will def come back.

It's hard to believe as many times as have been to New Orleans that I have never been to this restaurant. The food was really really good. So good that when I started eating I wanted to keep eating. I had to slow down! I had the pulled pork fajitas which were very very good. This included freshly made corn tortillas which were delicious. Portion was extremely generous and I could only finish half of it. Took the rest back to the hotel and had it the following day. The orange lime margarita was very good as well. Very tasty with just enough tequila in it. Very generous portions. Very delicious food. Great service. What more could you ask for? Definitely give them a try!

First time visiting this place even though I’ve heard of it before. I just want to say that it feels almost like you’re in Mexico! The food here was amazing and the drinks are awesome too! Highly recommend the pineapple Cilantro Margarita! For the dish I got the Mixed grill which consists of Perfectly seasoned Lamb Chops, Grilled chicken, large Shrimp, and Skirt steak! I read that the owner is Juan, and I just want to say thank you Juan for bringing the Michoacán Flavors to New Orleans! Will be visiting again! Que viva La raza! 🇲🇽 🇭🇳! (From Honduran)!
