    Sooooo good! I've probably passed this place up a million times without even noticing! A friend of mine told me to meet her here for taco Tuesday! I had no idea they had $1 tacos and $3 margs!! That was the icing on the cake! The tacos come with a huge grilled jalapeño and I love spice so it was a pleasant surprise! Definitely coming back, can't beat these prices or that taste! My favorite was the fajita taco!

    Two part review coming up! I'll bury the lead and force you to read to the end for the good stuff ;-) This place is kinda your basic Mexican place. Affordable, lots of options I bit greasy and not so healthy. The wait staff can be hit or miss depending on how busy they are. Now you might be thinking why are you even eating there?! I'll give you two reasons The Menudo and The Consommé de Borrego! If you are hungover and need a quick fix those are your two best options for bouncing back to life! It you don't know what Menudo is I advice you to "Googoleale" as my brother says. It's one of the best hungover remedies and this place makes a great one and they don't skip on the meat. Now the other cure is the Consommé de Borrego and it's exactly what you are thinking; a light broth made of lamb shank. It is absolutely delicious and comes with the lamb shank. Those two items are the only reason why I drive 30 minutes to Kenner Brah!

    Tacos de asada, chicken and lengua

    We stopped here for a bite to eat before our road trip back to Florida and it did not disappoint. The tacos were absolutely amazing. I got the shredded chicken, asada and lengua tacos. They were all great but the lengua tacos definitely stole the show. 10/10 recommend them. The service was great as well.

    Here is a serious question. Why would you eat it any other restaurant in the entire city on Tuesday when you can come here and get one dollar tacos? They are awesome!!! Beware of the salsa bar. Some of the sauces don't look too spicy but they are. Sure you don't speak Spanish. Sure the waitresses gonna laugh at you when you get too much salsaand your eyes and nose begin running like a faucet. Who cares? It's worth it!

    All the fat out of ONE taco

    Horrible service, horrible food! My birria tacos were nothing but fat. The waiter never returned to us, she looked mad the whole time; I will never return!

    Really good guacamole with onions and jalepeño bits

    My dining partner, upon realizing that the person serving us spoke no English, flashed a nervous glance and quietly said "Let get out of here!". "Fear not" I protested, "for I have 11 years of grade school Spanish and Google Translate right here on my phone". We stayed and were glad we did. Our meal started with chips and guacamole, the chips hot, and the guacamole made with prominent proportion of chopped onion that yielded a satisfyingly chunky texture. As can happen in a good Mexican place, we were well on the way to being stuffed on these. Fortunately the entrees arrived before we reached the stage where we would wonder why we had ordered anything else. Chicken enchiladas with verde mole was good, though on a return visit a different fellow diner pronounced it dry and mediocre. The pinto bean side was exactly right, as was a little salad of shredded lettuce (not my favorite way to present salad, but standard in this genre). . Black and refried beans are other options. Let's get back to that first visit with the more skeptical eater: She quietly accepted her fate to being surrounded by another language and multiple screens showing "futbol" in place of the NFL. Ultimately that didn't matter. Once our main course arrived, the next thing she said was, "Best quesadilla I've ever had." My dish on the second visit was the "bifsteak", a delicious combination of grilled onions and thin steak with a strong black pepper flavor. The side of grilled plantains was a generous portion and simple, cooked perfectly with just enough brazing on the sides for that hint of caramelizing. For fans of genus Musa (why, thank you Wikipedia!), these rank with Bananas Foster as a worthwhile choice for diners in New Orleans. On our visits, both Sunday afternoons, live mariachi musicians stroll among the tables and serenade. From appearances, I would guess most of the clientele is intimately familiar with Mexican food. I noticed on the second visit and in other reviews that the soups are one of the most popular items ordered, and highly regarded by other reviewers. Next time out, soup will be one of my choices.

    Menu and burrito asada
    JJ B.

    Service was friendly. Salsas were ok including the black bean salsa. The burrito was huge and included guacamole salad and rice. Way too much for me to eat. The taste was ok overall with plenty of meat but I was looking for more of a balance of flavors between meat and other ingredients cilantro which wasn't quite there and some of the meat was too fatty and had gristle. It was ok overall but I've had much better at a taco truck in NOLA.

    I won't be coming back. I ordered one Fish and one shrimp ceviche tostadas. I paid $13 and received the most sad plate ever. Totally not worth the money, there is no point in arguing so I just won't go back.

    Salsa bar
    Jena S.

    Very good fresh Mexican restaurant , the hostess only spoke Spanish we thought we were in trouble but our waitress was very nice and spoke English pretty good . They had a salsa bar where you could go serve ur self salsa verde with avocado and some other sauces very good I just wish their was more Of a traditional red salsa? The food and flavor was really good and the chips were fried fresh . I can't wait to go back and try more food I would deff give this place a try when you see nothing but Mexican people at a Mexican restaurant I think that's a good sign

    My order

    My friend and I went were on a girls weekend getaway in Kenner La. We stayed at the La Quinta hotel across the street from this Mexican restaurant.. We decided to walk across this busy hwy to go get a Margarita.. Bad idea first we were the only 2 Black people in there but it wasn't a problem to us until the server reminder us. She did say Hello when she came to the table. I ordered queso and a margarita because it literally was the only thing in english I could read. So my friend decided to just get the same thing, it took 15min to get that when I know it doesn't take long for queso because its something they use on all there food..after she brought us that she never returned to see if we need a napkin refill or anything. We watched her along with other servers constantly attend to other customers (Mexican) We then sat there and wait for our ticket that we eventually had to get up and go to the register to get but they were bringing tables around us there tickets. Then she added both our orders together instead of asking was it one check or two. My friend left her a tip I told her I wouldn't have left her nothing.. After paying it wasn't a thank u or anything. Someone please let the Mexicans know they are no better than Me hell some of them are darker than me..They need to be closed down for discrimination

    Quite simply the best Mexican food I've EVER had in 45 years…read more 10/10 flavor 10/10 Service

    We rolled into dinner hungry...like "scan-the-menu-before-you-sit-down" hungry, and in the mood for…read moregreat Mexican food and a couple of memorable cocktails. A few years ago I had been to La Tia in Metairie, and it left a serious impression. What stuck with me most were the craft cocktails...creative, clever, and a little bit mischievous. I still remember one in particular: a Mexican-inspired cocktail with mezcal and beet juice that somehow managed to taste like summer decided to take a vacation south of the border. It was the kind of drink that makes you pause mid-sip and say, "Okay... whoever thought of this deserves a raise." Somehow the place drifted off my radar over time. But when the craving for Mexican food hit, it popped right back into my head. I was excited to bring my son and daughter-in-law since they had never been. Unfortunately... the reunion didn't exactly go as planned. Two things hit me immediately while looking over the menu. First: the craft cocktails were gone. Not "different." Not "updated." Just... gone. Replaced with the same drinks you see in every other Mexican restaurant. Second: the prices nearly made me spit out the water I hadn't even ordered yet. $6 for a Corona. $18 for a basic burrito with fries. $10 for a kids plate over chicken tenders and some fries. And not the old La Tia burritos either...the ones I remembered piled high with rich molé, bright verde sauces, and layers of flavor that made you wonder if you should be taking notes. Nope. Now we're talking about a plain flour tortilla with some ground meat inside, no sauce, and a side of what looked suspiciously like freezer-aisle French fries. For eighteen dollars. My daughter-in-law ordered the fajitas, and honestly... they were rough. Thin strips of overcooked meat that looked like they had taken a brief vacation in a plastic bag before hitting the grill...served on a plate. Lately I've gotten into the habit of pulling up Yelp photos to compare dishes from past years, and I did exactly that. I found a photo of the same fajitas from about three years ago...big, juicy steak pieces, sizzling on cast iron and full of life. What we got looked like it came from a completely different restaurant. To be fair, my shrimp tacos were actually pretty good. Nicely cooked shrimp, decent flavor, and probably the lone bright spot of the night. But overall, it felt like the La Tia I loved had quietly packed up and left the building. The elevated Mexican food? Gone. The rich sauces? Gone. The inventive cocktails that made the bar worth sitting at? Also gone. In their place: food that feels pulled from a bag... at prices that feel pulled from a luxury menu. It's a tough thing when a restaurant you once loved loses its spark. But sadly, this visit felt less like a reunion and more like running into an old friend who has completely changed--and not for the better. As much as I hate to say it, I don't see myself returning to La Tia anytime soon. Turns out the only thing that stayed spicy... was the price tag.

    I had a fun girls' lunch here this week and the staff was welcoming and took such good care of us…read more We started with the guacamole and it was a VERY generous portion. It was tasty too. I had the Dorita's Famous Chicken and Mandarin Salad. It was ok. I think I was expecting more due to the name, but the chicken was lacking flavor and so was the poppyseed dressing. I think an alternative dressing would have made a big difference. What I did notice was that all of the dishes were very generous and almost everyone had lots of leftovers. Also, there is a large lunch menu (which most of us ordered from), and it's available on Saturdays as well. Big plus.

The Nachos Garcia are phenomenal. Margaritas too...always good. Service has always been fine. Now. The bad. Y'all. The ladies' room smells aggressively terrible. "Room" autocorrected to "run," and that felt spiritually accurate. It smells like someone made a series of deeply personal choices and then left them behind. Not a faint odor. Not a "maybe it needs attention." I am talking full, undeniable, immediate presence of Satan's butthole. One step inside and your body goes, "Absolutely not." Every time I've been here. Every. Single. Time. I have to hold my breath for the entire bathroom visit unless I want to gag and rethink my life decisions. Seriously. Today I almost lost my nachos before I even ate them. I should not need lung capacity training to use a restaurant bathroom. I genuinely like this place and keep coming back because the food and drinks are good. But please. I am begging. Exorcise whatever is haunting that bathroom. No margarita is strong enough to erase that experience.
