La Orquidea is a tucked away hidden treasure located on Williams Boulevard in Kenner, Louisiana. I…read moreordered a to-go at the restaurant about a week ago, and a week later I'm back again. They have quick service and a friendly staff. The restaurant itself is very homey, and it has an authentic feel to it. While I was waiting for my food both times, regulars seemed to be just coming in and out of the place. That's the sign of a great restaurant! Both times I ordered Pupusas con Frijol y Queso, which is pupusas loaded with beans and cheese. I also ordered Carne Catracha, which is grilled beef Honduran style. The pupasas were hot, melty with cheese, soft, and flavorful. You can easily tell they were homemade. The grilled beef was the star of the show, and my sister said she had been thinking about that bite of food all week. The plate comes with grilled beef on a bed of plantains with cabbage and pickled onions. They also served it with two delicious sauces. Both dishes were phenomenal, and the flavor was unreal. I can say that we just might become regulars at this place! Highly recommend giving La Orquidea a try! 100/10.

HOWEVER, there was another language barrier issue or mix up that happened a second time. We ordered the beef ribs and some how got the tajadas instead? We'll definitely be coming back & will be checking the menu beforehand to WRITE our orders down. Not sure how this mix up happened for a second time, but it's really no issue to us. But, I'm sure this could be an issue for others wanting to come to try this place. We didn't even mention it, they were delicious!! Just beware & maybe be open to trying something new :)

It's a simple strip mall restaurant, but the food is amazing, but in quality and quantity. I ordered the camarones al la Diabla. Not only did I get a very full plate of that, but also a plate of fried plantains, and a third plate with salad, beans, rice, curtido and a hunk of cheese. It was delicious, and enough food for brunch and dinner (almost 10 hours later, because I was so full). All that for $17.95! Service was friendly, fast and efficient.

Tía Maria's Kitchen has officially earned a permanent spot on my list of favorite restaurants in…read moreNew Orleans. I've ordered from Uber Eats plenty of times, but this was my first time actually dining in, and I'm so glad I did. It's a small, cozy spot where you can actually see the food being cooked. It gives "grandmas and aunties are in the back making sure every plate is seasoned with love," and honestly... that's exactly what it tastes like. This time I tried the beef liver with onions and bell peppers, and it was SO good. Perfectly seasoned, tender, and cooked just right. Can we talk about the rice for a second? I don't know what they cook it in, but it has to be some kind of broth because it is hands down some of the best rice I've ever had. Every grain is perfectly cooked. It's not gummy, not hard... just perfect. The refried beans? Absolutely incredible. I brought some home and literally had to hide my leftovers from my daughters because they kept trying to eat my food. I've also had their beef soup (the short rib soup), and it's one of my favorites. Their pupusas are delicious, the pickled cabbage that comes with them is addictive, and the sweet plantains are amazing. I ordered a mojito too. It wasn't super strong, but it was refreshing and paired really well with the meal. The service was excellent. Everyone was so kind and welcoming, and I found out they have free Wi-Fi and a rewards program, which I never knew because I usually order delivery. If you're looking for authentic Honduran food in New Orleans, do yourself a favor and check out Tía Maria's Kitchen. Everything I've tried has been consistently delicious, and I'm already looking forward to my next visit.

They also have a frozen sour, margarita and daiquiris. Next time we are in Nola we will more than likely pop back in. Also, the scale above is for empanadas.
