Mexican Restaurants near Arabi

“Stopped by because I noticed a new sign out front. I had the shrimp tacos and the papusas. Both will have me returning regularly. The owner was there both cooking and serving and she was super kind.As for the beer, they serve in chilled glass steins, which is super rare nowadays! I'd stop in for drinks even if not hungry (although its worth taking something home)Definitely worth a stop if youre in the area or even in the bywater.“

“Juan's Flying Burrito exceeded my expectations, even with a DoorDash order. The queso was absolutely phenomenal, earning its spot as a must-try item. Additionally, the Build Your Own bowl was both delicious and incredibly filling—I couldn't even finish it! I highly recommend Juan's Flying Burrito for anyone craving tasty and satisfying Mexican food.“

“Latin American food at its best! Interesting menu and big portions with home cooked flavors. Don't miss the wonderful hand crafted cocktails made with care by the owner himself. So yummy! The wait staff were friendly and attentive. We enjoyed a leisurely dinner.“

“I went fearful of what I could find, I was looking for Mexican food and I found this oasis, I'm from Houston Tx and never thought I would find the best birria at this place, service was excellent and price very affordable, ambiance was excellent, the place is super nice.“

“This was a phenomenal dining experience at every level. The tasting was 85pp which is well worth it. The beef tongue was the best I've ever had, it was wildly tender. The tuna steak was similarly killer. Every dish was top notch. (Full disclosure the quail had the feet and my wife was off put, however I didn't mind). The staff was attentive, helpful, and warm. A strong recommend in a city that is already dense with great food.“

“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.“

“I really wanted to hate this place. Another hipster gentrifying the neighborhood with their pseudo-ethnic cuisine. This rich boy, Banksy buying, carpet bagger…. I so very much wanted to hate it. But I couldn’t. It was just too good. The food was delicious. The prices were just right. The authentic tile work and gas station bathroom were absolutely delightful. The servers were raw and righteous. The way the owner spoke…. The little frogs…. The whole vibe just felt right. I couldn’t hate it. I loved it.“

“Beautiful area, but the soup is always very salty and it gets really busy. It's best to order online and pick up. They do have a lovely patio but with fake grass :/ and it's usually crawling with kids and rarely an adult.Parking: Not many spots and is usually full“

“Hands down the BEST Mexican food experience our family has ever had! The ladies who took care of us were extremely friendly and accommodating, took time to explain the menu to us and make recommendations. Beyond that, the food was absolutely outstanding. The meats and veggies were fresh and the flavors were bountiful. This place is severely unassuming but worth the trip to the outskirts of town. Do yourself a favor and make your way to Taqueria 2 Brothers—you’ll thank me later.“

“This legitimately is the best Mexican food I've ever had in my entire life. The chicken quesadillas w pico de gallo and the beef gorditas ... are actually life-changing. I will only be ordering my Mexican food from here on out. Wow And the ladies who cooked everything were so kind. Bless you for such a great, delicious meal and thank you!“

“Just amazing. The queso is the best I've had. So good!!! A bit of a wait if it's busy but well worth it!!!!Vegetarian options: Nit a ton but every dish can have rice and beans and be delicious. Not sure what beans are cooked with but when I asked if it was animal broth they said no.“

“I didn’t see any flying burritos … except the one that flew into my mouth!I stopped in here on February 4th 2024 and grabbed a burrito to go (brought it over to Oak St. Brewery). It was Sunday afternoon and the place was packed! There was a wonderful energy to the place.I had their flagship Flying Burrito. It comes with grilled steak, shrimp, and chicken. It was very good, and more that one person should consume at one sitting. But, of course, I ate the whole damn thing! I couldn't put it down!I can't wait for my next visit!“

“Taqueria Guerrero has never disappointed since it had it. Small place but definitely provides when I'm craving Mexican cuisine. Laid back environment and I've never seen more than 4 other people in there but they do have plenty of takeout orders. The workers are always friendly and patient and the food is good as well. Only things I don't like are that there is barely any parking and I'm not a huge fan of the salsa.“

“My friends and I hit this place almost every Tuesday night!!! My fav is the carnitas taco! Chips are warm, salsa is the perfect spice!! Have had several other menu items and all have been great! Seem to have the same waitstaff, we've probably had all of them several times. All very nice, attentive and friendly! Fun atmosphere. Clean restrooms. Plenty of parking.Wheelchair accessibility: Tight squeeze between tables but they can be moved to accommodate.“

“We finally made it back to New Orleans on a day that Casa Borrega was open, so after unloading we walked over and had yet another delicious authentic Mexican meal! We love the atmosphere, food and the musician did a great job as well! We tend to stay with the Mexican street food but you really can’t go wrong with anything they make!“

“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!“

“Food was tasty. Portions were large. Service was friendly and efficient. Good value. A great addition to Uptown. Side salad with chicken was delicious. Quality tacos - no skimping on filling. My meal was big enough for me to take home enough for a second dinner. It is a new favorite.“

“Our favorite Mexican restaurant in New Orleans. The owners are hands on and make it a treat to support local businesses. Everything we have had is fantastic but the Enchiladas Suizas are our favorite item. Edwin’s margaritas are the bomb“

“Don’t get me wrong because the food was great and the 2 TWO ladies were really friendly but they needed help for a Taco Tuesday. I visited their other location and they had staff standing around doing nothing. ( they are about 15 minutes apart) The tables stayed dirty for entire 30 minutes I waited on my order and that’s why I did to go. Give the ladies in the East some help they need it and as a patron I would have liked the same service or better as the other location.Parking: It’s slightly dark.“

“3rd coming here and it never fails. The service is the best service anyone could experience. They are so friendly. Valentina was over the top friendly. Made us feel like family. I recommend the arepas they are so delicious. They won me as a client. It’s a must to come here!“

“We came on a Wednesday evening, so it wasn’t busy. Our waitress was great. Food was delicious. We got the fajitas and some margaritas that were delicious. Enjoyed the fresh fruit in our margaritas. Loved that they asked how well done we wanted our fajitas. They came out perfect! Will definitely go back on our text trip.“

“Service is outstanding, prices are reasonable and food is fantastic! Ceviche was perfect and queso was best I've ever eaten. Our table was served fish tacos- fresh and filling, cheese, poblano and chicken enchiladas-full of flavor and made to order, chicken tacos- out of this world. Dessert was a moist rum cake and Mexican Mousse. You can't go wrong here.“

“I am in heaven cause it’s taco Tuesday!? The best day of the week at zocalo! Margaritas are even better (every day). This is my new go to place! Forget those other places around come here and ask for Rene’. She the best server!!! Manager Javier is great too!Vegetarian options: They have cauliflower tacos and mushroom tacos. They have many other vegetarian choices.“

“Staying nearby and drove by a few times and saw it was always busy. Walked up for an early dinner and couldn’t have been more impressed. 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???“

“Margs and Food is consistently delicious. The service team is so friendly and so sweet! They ask “how’s your day?” and they are so genuine when asking. I had the mushroom fajitas tonight…I’m guessing there was at the very least 16oz of mushroom on top of the bells, onions, and tomatoes…..asannnndddd the fresh house made tortillas! Marrero/Estelle if you haven’t been here, you are missing out.“

“Came during Happy Hour and got the margs. Them boys are delicious and strong!! Whew, I was turnt after two of them. Our sever was awesome. The $2 Tuesday street taco deal was really great, too!! Nice-sized flavorful tacos with a kick. I totally recommend coming here! ♥️“

“So glad I finally tried this Mexican spot! My Yelp BFF and I love Mexican food and this place has been on our list for some time now. Very cute vibe and a nice ambiance. Love that they have indoor and outdoor seating, perfect place to hang when the weather is nice. You order your food and drinks at the bar and they will bring it you. I ordered the house margarita, elote (corn), fish taco and a birria taco. The wait was not long and the service was great. The House margarita was just ok, it got the job done though. All of my food was good but the standout was the fish taco. That was the best fish taco I've ever had, and I've had plenty of fish tacos lol. It was made from red fish and seasoned to perfection! I will definitely be back soon. Great location on Tchoupitoulas but there is not a parking lot and very few spots in front the building so be prepared to park on a side street.“

“I was just at Okay Bar for a Persian New Year event and had the best time!! For a Tuesday night at any bar, I wasn't sure what to expect. As soon as I got there, it was music and good vibes flowing out the doors! I had a drink within minutes and into the vibrant crowd I went dancing haha. An amazing Persian food pop-up guest starring for the night called Baba Joon! Apparently they hadn't popped up since last Summer, so the people really came to support! Wasn't sure I'd get to try it with how popular they looked but they moved through the line quickly and I got to try a few dishes! Really glad I made it over to Okay Bar! More than okay with me! :)“

“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“

“This is my favorite restaurant. Staff is kind. I order to go from here all the time. It's always ready when the staff says it will be. I think they have the best burritos and pupusas in town, certainly on the West Bank. The fajitas are incredible and fairly portioned for the price. My daughter loves their quesadillas. Took my brothers here when they came into town too, they loved it as well.“

“Omg the best good very me my mom and my dad ate here and were used to the bill being over 60$ for three people it was 49$ best food omg I'm a picky eater I had food off my mom and dad plate very nice staff. 10/10 recommended to go here“

“This is as one of the best El Paso's I've ever been to. Possibly the best Mexican restaurant I've even been to. The inside is cute and decorated. Our server was amazing and helpful. We also got 2 for 1 margarita mango and they were a little sweet but I honestly love sweeter cocktails. The food was absolutely amazing, we got the special for $13 steak fajita and barbecue chicken quesadilla. Everything was so fresh and it was a pretty large portion of steak. Food came out really quick in like 10 minutes. Overall I would absolutely recommend you visit despite the other reviews. Maybe it's under new management or they're just doing better in every way possible. Try it for yourself !!!“

“Great food and atmosphere. I would highly recommend in this restaurant to anyone. Great place to go and it won’t break the bank.Parking: Pull into the parking lot and walk in, unless it’s a holiday or event, then you may need to arrive early.Kid-friendliness: There are many of high chairs in the restaurant and a kid friendly menuWheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair can be used throughout the facility“

“I Always LOVE coming here. The regulars are fun....Always great conversations...and I just can't get enough of Gabby and the Manager Jarrell. They are both so personable and remember not just me but everyone that I saw come to the bar. TY Felipe'“

“Came here for lunch during the work week. Only off street parking so be prepared to parallel park. Nice decor and service. They are diligent and giving you plenty of salsa and chips which is always a great way to start. I got the ceviche as my meal which was well done. Next time I will try their tacos. This is one of the chain location's in the area.“

“Panchita’s never does me wrong. The camarones a la diabla are spicy, fresh shrimp goodness. The enchiladas are spot on (I like the salsa verde but there’s no bad choice). The queso fiesta is perfection. And just say large to the house margarita. (And why not just go ahead and at least ask about the flan and the churros?)“

“Cool atmosphere. Came when it wasn't packed, so I had quick, friendly service. Ordered rock tacos and 5 regular pork tacos which were hot and fresh. Consume could use a bit more flavor to it, but happy the tacos were crunchy and hot. Wasn't a big fan of pineapples in the trompo tacos which they could have done without. I would come back overall.“

“One would be hard-pressed to find better enchiladas in New Orleans, we're looking forward to working our way through the menu. On this first visit, we loved the Chicken Mole Enchiladas and Enchiladas Suizas. These are refined homemade dishes, not something you would get in most places.Kid-friendliness: They do have hi chairs, this is a family-friendly place.“

“I've been a regular for almost 2 years, personally and professionally. The food is high quality and the atmosphere is fun! The employees are like family. They remember you and will go out of the way to give you a great experience. I'd give them more stars if I could. Love them!!“

“Small restaurant in a strip mall. Very busy for a weekday lunch. Ordered to go. Food was almost ready when I arrived. Server obviously had her hands full with to go and tables, still very pleasant. Ordered a kids beef burrito meal ($8.99) and an adult Enchiladas La Loca with green sauce ($11.99). Both entrees were very good in flavor and ample in portions. Chips and salsa came with the order, and the salsa had a nice kick to it. To go charge of 99 cents was added, which I think is reasonable, since I"ve worked in the restaurant business and know the cost of to go items is not negligible. In fact, I'd rather pay a to go charge than have the cost of the items on the menu go up and I have to pay an inflated price because of to go orders (and Uber Eats, and Door Dash...). Now, it would have been nice if there had been TWO sets of plasticware included. We will be back for more to go.“

“This is a vary small place with great food. The employees are vary friendly. The food is made fresh every day. The Taco Nicaraguans corn tortilla with beef an vary spicy is great.. 3 for $7.80'. Try the Yucca , Spanish pastries stuffed with ground beef is wonderful only $9.00 . And the Flan is great. YouMust go there it has the best food an not pricey.“

“100% recommend this placeI tried 2 of each taco and there was not one I didn't like. As a Texas Native and Of Mexican decent I totally give this place all the thumbs up.Parking: This is a food truck, you park and order at the window and they make it for you right then and there.“

“The $5 margarita and $2 tacos special can't be beat! The only reason I'm giving 4 stars and not 5 is because my grilled chicken was a little dry on my first taco. I definitely say get the tanja chicken instead. The street style el pastor and carnitas are delicious as well. Servers and bartenders are wonderful!“

“Don’t sleep on the molé. Especially if you know what mole is, they make it themselves. Do you know how hard it is to make mole? How much time it takes. It’s sweet and spicy and the chicken is moist and perfectly grilled. Ughhh, so good.“

“I visited El Gato Negro tonight 1/23/24 We had attended my daughter's art showing at the WW2 museum. This is the night that the water pressure dropped in Jefferson Parish. All of our usual places were closed and it was after 8. A friend recommended we give this place a try and I'm really glad we did!! They were SUPER busy earlier because everybody else from Metairie had hopped on over the Parish line like we had. They were more than happy to seat my party of 4 at 8:30 even though they closed at 9. I can't remember our server's name. I do remember practicing my Spanish with her. The food was excellent. I had the Tuesday special of 3 steak tacos. I had mine in the corn shell as opposed to the flour. They were hot and fresh and a flavor explosion. The char of the steak with the fresh cilantro made for a fantastic taco! It was good and good. My wife had these crazy large nachos with chicken and street corn. They put the chips on top so it doesn't end up a soggy mess. The food was on point as was the service. We genuinely appreciated being sat and served so late. I will be back soon. I'm putting them in my rotation. You should too!!“

“We really enjoyed our dinner! The chips and salsa (particular the salsa!!) were wonderful, the margaritas were good, and the food was great! The chicken burrito was delicious!! And the tacos were as well. Definitely worth a pop in if you’re looking for a cool vibe and some good Mexican style “

“The food was very tasty. Our server was attentive and sweet. The first round of chips and salsa was on the house but they charge $2 for each additional round. They didnt seem to have a happy hour, but the margarita was very good. My friend ordered the burger and i ordered a tamale. Large patio, minimal street parking.“

“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!“

“Great Service, VERY kind owner & waitress too. There was 5 of us at the table...I ordered something w/ special directions...I'm picky lolMy order came exactly how I wanted it!! EVERYTHING Was Delicious & fresh! I'd highly recommend this restaurant!Photo's will be added to my review!Kid-friendliness: They had a few children there!Wheelchair accessibility: Yes“

“We went for early dinner. Salsa & chips were delicious. Wait staff was awesome. She checked on us when needed. Food was great. Will definitely be back.Vegetarian options: Not sure.Kid-friendliness: Kids menu as other restaurants.Parking: In strip mall with plenty of parking available.Wheelchair accessibility: Has a ramp“
