    Shrimp Po Boy
    Nancy S.

    Convenience was what brought me here because It was next to security and I was hungry. They only had one server working and she was trying her best, but service was slow. Some people in my group had to wait upwards of an hour to get food. Food wasn't great; there was a ton of bread and the shrimps didn't taste fresh. But what can you really expect from an airport restaurant...

    Standard breakfast: 2 eggs, bacon, home fries & toast (it's a lot!)

    I'll say this... they didn't skimp on the portions. We went for breakfast on our way home after a visit to the city. It's a tough comparison to make, having food in/around New Orleans and Long Beach, MS... only to end your trip with an airport place. But, could you really not add some flair to your menu? Just a little local flavor and seasoning? I will say the standard eggs/meat/toast deal was huge. And the food was fine. Not rave-worthy by any stretch, but not terrible. I had the Southern Bowl, which was mostly just grits, one egg, and bacon & toast stuck to the grits. No inspiration at all, though. So much wasted potential. I'm not going to grouse about the prices, because it's airport cuisine, but... still pretty shocking for breakfast. The service was okay. Our waitress checked on us every so often. We didn't feel abandoned or anything. There were no menus, though; everything was on your phone via QR code. I'm okay with that, but the application/website was not very intuitive. I wasn't sure how to pay at the end for sure, though ordering was pretty straightforward. It's hard to compare to beignets at Café du Monde down in the French Quarter... or even the kiosk at the airport. The food was filling enough, though, so I guess I can't complain. What it lacked in flavor and quality it made up for in quantity. But, yeah, not sure I'd stop here again, though. There seemed to be other, better options nearby.

    Eggs Your Way
    Aubrey F.

    Would not go back or recommend. Came here on a Sunday morning before a flight. There was a wait despite plenty of open table. It appeared they were short staff. We sat down. As a party of 5, we required 4 separate checks. We were told we could only do 3. You scan the barcode on the table to load the men, order, and pay. I ordered the Eggs Your Way. It came with 2 eggs, bacon or sausage, a choice of grits or breakfast potatoes, and toast. I ordered my eggs over medium and choose sausage. My order came out as ordered. Nothing special. Very limited menu. I ordered a Diet Coke, which came in a bottle. Terrible service. Had to ask for butter a few times. Hardly saw our waitress besides her dropping off the plates randomly.

    Bloody Mary.. unsipped

    Service was 6/10. Friendliness and attentiveness to if we need something was a 10/10 but the execution of providing what we asked for was a 2/10. We would rather be treated well and get the wrong things than treated poorly. We ordered a bourbon and Diet Coke double with a Bloody Mary single in a tall glass. We watched her pour a Jameson and regular coke and then grabbed the short glass for the bloody. I interrupted her before she started making that drink and she grabbed the tall glass. Husband wasn't going to correct her but of course I don't mind and she changed it out for a single bourbon and diet but at the end only charged him for a single. To be fair, she did say her bartender went on break but she can manage. Order our food- avocado toast with scrambled eggs and no tomatoes- the tomatoes are clearly on the plate and easy to remove so I did not correct that but it's a waste of produce and if I was allergic, the whole thing would have had to been taken back. Husbands breakfast tacos were fine. Nothing special or exciting but was brought out correctly. We travel to New Orleans often and will not be eating here again.

    For a place that was created by James Beard Award Winner Chef Susan Spicer, this place could have been better. It is located inside the Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport after you pass the TSA. Maybe they have a rough day; maybe they were understaffed; maybe it is no longer operated by Susan Spicer. My husband approached the place around 1PM for a late lunch. It took a few minutes to be seated. There was no one working host/hostess. At our table, there was a QR code to order at the table, but there was a waitress that took our drink and food order. Our drinks arrived, but 45-minutes later, we were still waiting for our food. We ordered Susan Favorite pizza ($17) and mahi-mahi tacos ($19). The food was OK. I also noticed throughout, besides the one interaction, no one checked on us until 45-minutes later after another waitress realized we didn't get our food. We paid for our meal via a QR code on the receipt and left. Overall, it could have been better with service.

    Great stop before your flight! They had a good size menu so there's something for everyone!!! They updated their POS to all app ordering so it's a bit of a wait for the food. Be sure to let a waitress know if you're in a hurry for your flight. I ordered the avocado toad and it was good. I should've ordered the omelette. They looked awesome!

    Their menu as of August 6th, 2024

    We came to Mondo's before our flight back home. We thought the service was slow due to understaffing but we liked our waitress, Their food was okay but forgettable. There are a couple of changes I would have made to give this five stars. They are very expensive-I liked my food but the price was way too high for my catfish po'boy ($19!). I wish they had hot sauce bottles for the table, and I think it is important to have both the option to order with a QR code AND to have a waiter to talk to, especially because the menu and the QR code menus don't match. I think the more ways there are to do something, the better, but help was not the most available, and in an airport, time is of the essence. I also don't get their advertising of "flavors of the world". They mostly have Cajun food, salad and pizza, but they don't feature multiple types of cuisine. Nothing wrong with that, but I think the slogan "flavors of the world" would imply foods from many/multiple places. I think their catfish po'boy is okay-their catfish was good but plain/unseasoned, and I liked the potatoes and aioli it came with, but the bread it came in was a LOT of bread, Overall, they have a lot of room to grow, and I hope they lower their prices-in the meantime, save your money!

    Mondo Pizza at the MSY airport

    Mondo Italian We had reached the airport early and decided to grab a bite before getting onto the flight. Mondo Italian Pizza caught my eye. When I got there, if was quite busy. Still waited and got a table. It took forever for the lady to take our order, and finally when she came, she looked so frayed, we were not even sure she understood. We customized a pizza and took a Caesar salad. She then took 2 more orders, held all the credit cards in hand, and walked up and down like lost, it was our turn to look harried now ... but, she did a great job of not confusing orders or the cards. The order was taking even more time, so we changed it to to-go. It came right on time to board. The smell was so good, we had the steward asking us to share ... :)... Mondo did not get all the customization right, but, the pizza was sooo good, it disappeared in like 10 min flat. It was only after eating I noticed the box it came it. It was like a recycle-able box, with a twist. You could use it as a plate, or a little storage place sort of thing with instructions on it. I thought that was pretty amazing. The salad, we got it home and had next day. It was still really good, even with no dressing, it had a flavorful taste. (They did give the dressing on the side, I chose not to put it.) To sum it up- food - taste and quality both great. Service, can be improved.

    Service with a smile, helpful staff, very accommodating. Zahra, the hostess and waitress for this busy Friday is very accommodating. It got pretty busy after a few minutes, but she didn't hesitate to keep checking on me to see if I needed anything. The menu is small - one appetizer, one salad, four entrees, a burger, a few sandwiches and some pizzas. For hustling travelers, it's enough. My Margherita pizza was good. I noticed the Shrimp sandwich was popular. The bar stayed full and drinks flowed to the tables. Active, nice place to relax, eat or drink between flights.

    Eggs your way with potatoes
    Tramaine B.

    Ive been here a couple times before and after a flight to grab breakfast. I guess depending on the time of day, you either wait to be seated or sit yourself. The menu is pretty simple and they also serve alcohol beverages. My waiter was prompt with taking my order, bringing the food and checking on me (not too much). I ordered the eggs your way with a side of potatoes. The potatoes were definitely undercooked but edible. Currently theres some type of construction going on which is blocking the view of seeing the planes take off and land; if you're that person. I think this is my third stop here and yes I would stop again when im in the airport and hungry for breakfast

There were so many things I wanted to try. I ended up getting the Jerk chicken with the confit on the side because I didn't want spicy and a side of fries. This was so good. As you can see. I cleaned my plate. I also tried other people's appetizers like the coconut shrimp and Jerk ribs... both were really good. I tried a taste of the bbq shrimp dish, which was also good. Lastly, I tried a slice of someone's steak. It was lacking flavor compared to everything else. Also, they brought out birthday shots and supplies for us to cut and pack the cake. The service was amazing. I'm definitely going back and im probably going to get the chicken again. Lol

By far my favorite thing we had. The calamari was over cooked and very rubbery to the point it was hard to chew. we did inform the server and they did remove it from our bill (we didn't ask them to, so that was nice of them). For entrees we got the Dominican ribs and the redfish. Red fish dish was very good. The ribs had good flavor but I think they were kinda overcooked as well and the mashed potatoes were cold. Service was okay. I am willing to give it another try but my first visit definitely could have been better.

    This will be a lengthy review. Its been a long time since we've been here. Nothing really major ,…read moremade us not come back. Its just one of those things. We met a good friend of ours here for lunch. His wife and US, would regularly go n out to eat with each other. It was a normal routine. His wife passed away suddenly about 8 months ago and he hasnt gone anywhere that whole time. She was my best friend. It was a pleasant surprise, when he agreed to have lunch with us. We decided to go to Zea's on W. ESPLANADE. It was obvious they were busy as most of the lot was full. The first thing we noticed was the new interior renovations. It was definitely brighter and open since the last time we were here. We finally got sat at a table, wasnt a long wait. Our server, (young lady named Taylor) was our server. She was very friendly, inviting personality and made you feel welcomed. We started off with drinks and the Hummus appetizer. Never seen a big appetizer like this, it was perfect for 3 even 4 ppl and very good. It was served with warm pita slices. I remember they served cucumber slices upon request, not sure if they still do that. The lunch entrees were Almond chicken salad for my wife. Our friend ordered the Thai rib plate and I had the Crispy duck. As far as I know, my food was excellent, the duck was well cooked and moist. The Thai ribs are usually always good, no doubt that has changed, I stole one of my friends ribs. It went to good use. My wife said the main salad was good, but she feels the chicken itself lacked flavor, but since this is my review, only my opinion matters, lol. The Thai ribs were very good. I love the corn grits and the zea potatoes. For me, I feel this was my best meal I've had all year so far. Would I come back? Heck yeah. You buying? I overall, love the change. The new menu and decor is a hit for me.

There is no warning that the prices could be higher, whether verbal or written! When we spoke to the junior manager and server, we were given an excuse saying that because we ordered off the kid's menu that they didn't think we would care if the prices were raised or that there would be an up-charge but that was not communicated nor was it a real policy? This better get fixed, because some customers might take this even more seriously. It's an easy fix, the children's menu is literally made of paper, just print new ones.
