The food was amazingly good!Angel was our waitress and she's the best waitress I had in a while.Prices are fair.I totally recommend you try this place.

This is usually one of my favorite lunch places, however it is now only open Fri-Sat-Sun. It was frustrating to walk all the way and find out that the published hours were inaccurate.

We ordered the Gulf Shrimp Quesedilla with an ad-on of crayfish. The shrimp were cooked beautifully, not overdone at all with just a mild amount of spice. The staff were extremely nice and helpful and overall our meal was delicious. The side of rice was a bit dry or it would have been 5 stars. We will definitely return!

Overpriced and small portions. They bring you a tiny amount of salsa for 4 people and then charge you if you ask for extra salsa or chips. No fountain drinks, only bottles. Not to mention they charge you a 3.5% fee that is automatically added to the bill. The food was good, but not worth the money.

Sadly understuffed burrito. It was supposed to include beef, mushrooms, vegetables and beans. There were some refried beans and I found a little bit of hamburger, not enough to taste though. No evidence of the other ingredients. Go somewhere else

So glad they are back open. Steak taco and Serrano Pico were both excellent

They add 20% "gratuity" for TAKE OUT orders that they tell you AFTER you give them the entire order over the phone. He asked before I ordered if I wanted plastic silverware which I declined but failed to tell me he was going to add 20% gratuity before I ordered. I went in to pick up the food pretty loaded for bear after the sneaky $10 they would add for me to pick up my food. So I started with, you just lost a customer over the 20% gratuity. He pointed at the people behind the counter and said well that goes to help pay for those that make your food. Then proceeded to grab my to go boxes in my bag and said it pays for the boxes as well. I repeated you have lost a customer and I am a local. He stated we have 2 other locations in the city and everyone knows we add 20% to our to go orders. Really? I didn't know that. I repeated that I won't be back. Not one time did he use any customer service techniques. He was full of excuses not I'm sorry's!! I honestly can't believe his I don't care attitude. So just so y'all know it costs $10 for 7 to go containers and a piece of foil. Yes the food is good but when you feel like you have been nickel and dimed and lied to, the food doesn't matter.

This place was great, food was awesome, drinks were awesome. Staff was friendly and helpful. Would go anytime i'm in the city.

Great fresh food, as locals we avoid the tourist trap restaurants in the Quarter with their bagged Sysco food.. This place takes pride in what they do.

Was there in 2013 - I still dream about their stuffed poblano peppers, they were that good. Best food I had in Nawlins by far, and I've been there several times.
