Great Mexican / Texmex restaurant. Cozy space, neat furniture, outdoor seating and right on the trolley line. Service was exceptional. Fast and attentive. Food exceeded expectations with tender steak and crisp fresh jalapeños.

Cheap and delicious. It has a become new tradition for my girlfriend and I to come here on Tuesdays for their taco specials, $2 each ($3 for seafood) and $6 margaritas. A family restaurant where the food is quick and the service is friendly. Best Mexican food I’ve had in New Orleans since moving from the south western side of the country. Get a side of the chilli oil if you’re looking for an extra spicy experience!

We have been coming here off and on since the place opened. I have to say, it’s a little hit and miss there. Sometimes the food is wonderful. This time we had a combination plate (chili relleno, taco, tostada) which were all delicious. The salsa and cheese were good as well. The children’s plate was a little on the poor side. The frozen, fuzzed chicken nuggets tasted like grease. In the past at times the food was not as good, plantains not cooked all the way through, tostadas overcooked and almost burnt. It all depends on which cook was in the kitchen.

The food was amazing, you can very much taste the authenticity and you can see right into the kitchen where they freshly prepare everything ordered! The service was great, very friendly with only a very mild language/accent barrier. The agua fresca (pineapple) was refreshing and I got the chicken chiminchangas, which were small by comparison to what I’m typically used to at more Americanized Mexican food establishments but were SO delicious with fresh ingredients. The rice and beans were even impressive! The ONLY drawback is the place is very tiny, dim lighting and VERY warm almost to the point of being uncomfortable inside. I would absolutely sit in again though bc the food was just that great!!

Very good food, great service and the restaurant has an inviting and colorful atmosphere. Only reason I gave it 4 stars is because the food is a little pricey for what it is. Otherwise a great place to eat and would definitely recommend.

Got the Asada tacos and they were delicious. My boyfriend got the Birria tacos and that was also delicious. I’m usually very picky with refried beans in general but I like their refried black beans. Would definitely recommend! Chips and salsa are yummy, too.
