Service was terrible but I'd attribute to young, inexperienced, and untrained. The young lady was pleasantly nice but we essentially had to tell her how to do her job without actually telling her. Things like, telling her we needed napkins and that we needed to get the airport, hoping that would expedite the process. There was another waitress who spent all of her time servicing one table with people who she clearly had a relationship with. It was concerning to see people walk in the door and they revived no assurance or guidance while this young go lady was playing with her family/friends. The food took a while to come out and 25 minutes is entirely too long for soup. The bathroom had a hole cut out in the countertop to drop trash into the wastebasket, but since there was no wastebasket it went straight on the floor. We ordered 3 specialty tacos and 6 street tacos. The specialty tacos had one flavor........SALT! I may try it again since everyone is entitled to a bad day but I was not pleased with my first experience at all. read more

Baja Nola MexiCajun - Tortilla Soup - Mexican Near Me - Kenner, Louisiana

The hours on Yelp may not match the hours on the door. We enjoy dining here. The highlights are the cheeses (on everything), birria, Dulce de leche, fried mahi mahi with creamy chipotle and Taco Tuesday. My daughter loves the little dance floor, music, and lights. With the music played may or may not be appropriate for young ears. A few songs had adult language and I'm not sure if it was related to the 8 o'clock hour. I was here a couple of months ago and business has gotten busier since I last visited. Even with increased staffing, service was a bit slow because there were a lot of people being served at the time. read more

The only bad thing I can say is that my Top Shelf margarita was way sweeter than I expected and not enough tequila in my opinion. That's the end of the bad. Now THE GOOD. EVERYTHING else was fantastic. There is parking in the front and back of the restaurant. The restaurant is a decent size. You can definitely go with a group of friends. The wait staff was superb! They were extremely patient, quick to get back and check on the table, and extremely accommodating. Our waitress made multiple great suggestions since it was our first time. The FOOD was on point!!!! The oxtails Birria tacos, the seafood Boat, and the plantain Beignets were magnificent!!! We tried grilled alligator for the first time and it was so damn good! I will be back. I was told that we must try the churro dessert next time. read more

I'm basing my review solely on food and service. Walking into this place was a little off putting. The parking lot is tiny, the joint is not a vibe, the patrons made us feel out of place by looks alone and the music was too loud. Definitely not a choice for ambiance or decor but damn that food was amazing! Everything tasted homemade. The kids loved their food too. My oldest ordered the ramen, that could have used a little more flavor but it was still good. The tacos, knocked out of the park! We went on a Tuesday and ordered the 3 seafood tacos for $12. We also hit up happy hour so got 2 for one drinks. The staff was very friendly and helpful too. If you're not a sit downer, they looked as if there was a drive thru but I didn't investigate that hard. read more

3826 Williams Blvd, Kenner, LA 70065 If you google search this restaurant, it will show the former "Baja Nola" as permanently closed. Just for reference, this restaurant is called "Baja Nola Mexicajun," with the new address located above. If you are indecisive between Cajun or Mexican for lunch/dinner, then come to "Baja Nola Mexicajun!" They can serve you the best of both worlds! I wasn't able to try everything on their menu, but I do intend to go back to try other varieties of items on the menu! I also added the menu items to help you guys out! 1. Oyster Sampler: Mexican Charoysters, Original Charoysters, and Baja Charoysters. 2. Street Taco Chicken Tinga & Lengua (Cow Tongue) 3.

Don't be fooled by the exterior this place is new in town and it was awesome! Very authentic, flavorful, and we got some house made margs made by the owner himself. We were staying close by so we could fly out early the next morning and stumbled in and I am glad we did! If you are going with a group get a few diff things and share. read more

I love a fusion of foods and this is it! As you can tell in the name...it's a fusions of Cajun and Mexican worlds. So good! Where do I begin. I love birri tacos and their's are great. Fried LA alligator, mexicajun corn, oyster empanadas, Mexican charoyster are great and unique & taste great. I love oxtail and they have a taco one. So good! Plantain empanada beignets are PHENOMENAL! I LOVE this place. It's unique not only to Kenner, but to the NOLA metro area. The see are very friendly and knowledgeable...even fun. The bathrooms are clean and the atmosphere is a super cool & fun Baja-style restaurant. Go...you will make multiple trips over time. I know I can't stop. read more

Arrived on a Sunday around 2:30 pm to have a late lunch. Took a few minutes to get seated after the confusion was settled by the staff. We were seated at an extremely hard, dirty, black picnic style table in the middle of the restaurant where it appears a dj booth would be. We waited 15 minutes for the server to arrive. She didn't know much about the menu and stated she was new, not her fault , she was very sweet, however management needs to spend more time training their employees. After we ordered some cocktails it took another 15 to 20 minutes to get them. Meanwhile the 2 women behind the bar were chatting it up. The drinks were strong. When it came time to order we ordered we ordered the chargrilled oysters as our appetizer. We also ordered a shrimp plate for my 10 year old at the same time we put in the order for the oysters.. The oysters were not good at all. We tried all flavors, none of them were good. We actually enjoyed the bread more than the oysters. After a while we then put in our main dish order and at that time we reminded the waitress about the shrimp plate, she said they are making it. Mind you there were only 5 other tables occupied, with 3 waitresses. When our food arrived after it was cold. When mentioning this to the waitress, she said she would have them remake our food. I also mentioned we didn't get the shrimp plate and that I cannot eat my food until my son's food arrived. When the main dishes came back out, we still never got the shrimp, at this point I am kinda disappointed and asked for the check and only agreed to pay for our drinks, and the oysters We were seated for 2 hours for nothing. I believe the owner needs to educate himself on how a business should be ran. Maybe hire some experienced professionals who've been in the industry a while, spend more time training the employees on the menu & hire a kitchen manager. I will give this place one more try in hopes I have a better experience. But in my opinion, I think this place would do better as a bar/club than a restaurant. I wanted to support this local business read more

The customer service was excellent. Went on a Saturday evening. Wasn't busy. My husband got birria tacos and my daughter got steak quesadilla and I got street tacos. I might just b used to more authentic Mexican tacos and this seemed to be altered to satiate American palate. The protein on my tacos was not seasoned well or remarkable. I think the price is expensive for the value. They seem to have a gorgeous menu of cocktails we didn't try any. I think it's a spot to get a cute drink and share something with friends. I wouldn't go back as a family. read more

Waiter was nice and place is decent. Tacos are not worth it! Queso was okay, long wait times for food.

Ambiance: Hot No AC. Had to leave midway through meal because I felt like I was about to have heat stroke. Those poor people in the kitchen. A place should close when it's 100 outside and they have no AC! Service: our waitress was new. So I'll cut her some slack. She tried. Food: Oysters were overcooked and just not good. The stuffed Birria empanada w/slaw was awesome! The street tacos and seafood tacos were good as well. The prices were great. The tacos we got were part of the taco Tuesday special. 15 tacos in all. Everything was $88 not including tip. We left as soon as we got our food bc it was hot.Again it was 100 degrees outside! We might or might not be back. read more

I think this is a new place. Went yesterday on a Sunday afternoon for an early dinner. The inside is decent looking. Multiple TV's, a bar, a DJ set up. Parking is in the back. When you walk in there is a waiting area but it's not obvious. They were disorganized with getting people seated & the guy who was seating people was also taking orders. Food came out in a decent time. They were out of a lot of things. No cold drinks, no oxtail, no seafood dip. We ended up getting the ceviche, queso dip, steak quesadilla, mahi mahi fish taco, & crawfish taco. Everything was mid...your typical Mexican restaurant. Nothing special. Everything tasted okay but I really wanted to try the oxtail tacos. I'm not sure if I'd go out my way to eat here again. read more

The food is kinda gross. It smells weird in there, the roof is leaking, you see the kitchen as soon as you walk in and then your seated which was weird. They should hide that. The oysters were gross, the nachos were gross. Oxtail was okay and we took seafood tacos to go so I don't have a comment on that read more

I first found Baja Nola at their previous location. I absolutely loved everything I have ever tried from there. Since reopening in Kenner, I have been there twice and it is even better than I remembered. We tried the traditional grilled oysters, the Mexican grilled oysters, and the seafood oysters (with crabmeat on top). They were all spectacular. My daughter got the birria tacos and the birria ramen and loved both. I tried the fried shrimp tacos and they were amazing. The staff and proprietor were very attentive and offered great suggestions. The new location has a great ambiance and very clean. I haven't stopped craving the food since I've gone there the first time several years ago. read more

The first time I tried to go here.I was turned around stating that the cook wasn't there?And they weren't taking any customers. The second time I went, I sat at the bar with a friend.We ordered tacos and oysters.Oh my god, the oysters were so delicious, also the drinks were very good. The bartender was very nice and very , very pretty. They offer hookah & played hip hop music as well. read more

I've been here four times now and I've never been disappointed. The food is always excellent, likewise so is the service.

My party of 6 was surprised to find out how good this restaurant was. From the chips and salsa, top shelf Margarita, rice and beans, tacos and quesadillas. I would like to keep in mind the breakfast buffet when I'm looking for breakfast. read more

I LOVE LOVE LOVE coming here. The taste of the food is on point! The combination of Mexican and Cajun is definitely what it is. The tacos, the oysters, and those cheese balls things are delicious! I like to visit a place at least 3 times before I make a review and each time I came the food was on point. I have been in the afternoon and evening time just to see if the food remained the same and they did not disappoint. The flavor is amazing! The vibe is nice. Waitresses are ok. The big drink that's made inside the big pineapple was soooo good. This place is definitely a hidden gem read more

Daniel made the best drinks! The food was amazing and the vibe was very laid back for happy hour. Can't wait to come back. read more

Food was good, loved the snow crab legs. Service was slow and took a while to get our order taken and get drinks/ food so we wouldn't come if we're on a time limit. (Server did apologize and stated she was new). Ambiance was fun and cool. read more

We have been waiting for this restaurant to open for quite a while. The building has been heavily renovated inside with a new pretty bar, new lighting, 6 TV's and even a DJ station for music. The ambiance was pleasant only if you enjoyed all six TV's loudly showing Mexican music videos. We weren't fans. The food was very good. The Birria Tacos and the Birria Enchiladas were excellent. The rice was also very good. Regretfully, the very creamy beans were not hot. The chips served were not greasy and had a great salsa and a good spice dusting. The predominant flavor though was the heavy oil they were fried in. Service was pleasant and very attentive. For a new restaurant just getting into their routine, this experience was nice. read more

Don't bother extremely slow! Didn't get a chance to be served after sitting for 20 minutes. No attention or water. Concept seems great service is a 0. read more

Good food and atmosphere was great!! Would definitely be back and recommend this to everyone!

Painfully slow. Totally understaffed. No cushion on seats. Very uncomfortable and dirty. Waitress was nice, but working the entire floor on her own. Nearly walked out, but wanted to give the food a chance and regret it. Apps and entrees were room temp. I do not recommend at all. read more

Be prepared to wait for everything. That's from even getting your drinks. I waited over 30 min for a drink from bar. It took almost 2 hours before the food came. The place is unsanitary. There were open juice containers by the cold drink machines just sitting there uncovered. I ordered the pineapple tropical punch drink and they brought it with the fruit on side. The seafood queso dip was horrible absolutely no seafood in it. The chips were small and salty. I ordered the surf and turf oysters and they were burned and dry. My husband had the Baja bowl ... don't waste your money it's not worth it at all. read more

After being seated we had to wait awhile before our appetizers came. Atmosphere was nice and staff were too, Oysters were burnt and I had to request a new set, seafood dip had no flavor and was cold. My Mexican corn was hot and good but undercooked. I was charged upgrades without knowing that the upgrades would be applied. I canceled my tacos due to the time and lack of flavor to my food. The manager did agree that I should have been notified about the upgrade and he agreed to give me margarita to compensate for the extra charge. I hope this issues are just due to crowd and not quality of the food. read more

My waitress couldn't suggest anything to me ...like the normal server do.. we waited 20 minutes for water , 15 minutes for a straw , 15 more minutes for our drinks our food came 50 minutes later and the chips and dip came out with our food which should have came out with the water .. I was so disappointed in this place .. the ambience was so cheap looking and tables was rocky I had to keep my feet on the table leg do it will stop moving .. I will never go back to this place I only went cause my daughter went to earlier and they never even got water , they seated them and left them their , so I assume it was the wrong time of day ... boy was I wrong read more

Baja Nola MexiCajun - This would have been good if they were hot , they looked and tasted like they were cooked 45 minutes before we got there - Mexican Near Me - Kenner, Louisiana

This place should close. The food, ambiance and waitstaff were terrible. The restaurant was filthy. I didn't want to give any stars

Everything was delicious and the service was excellent. There chips & salsa was awesome.

Food was amazing, but service was poor. I watched several people get up and leave because lacking on the service side. I hope it gets better because the food was great. read more

The oyster and birria tacos were phenomenal! I will definitely be back everytime I come to New Orleans!

Terrible place to eat. The food is horrible. The wait is long, the food description is not what comes to your table.

Honestly this place was terrible. Tik Tok gave it hype it doesn't deserve. The drinks had no gas, lemonade was $4 no refills (small glass). Took 15 minutes for a cheese dip had to ask twice. Tacos had no seasoning took over 40 minutes to get them. Ceviche was a joke. It was bland fish tasted old. The birria tacos were so plain with no seasoning. Just not what we expected. read more

went for taco tuesday with my friends. i'm vegetarian so i knew i wasn't going to have many options in the first place. i got the veggie quesadilla, my friends got seafood tacos and the birria enchiladas. they really liked the seafood queso. i ordered a pinacolada and it didn't come out until AFTER my food, but my friends got their drinks 20 minutes before me. there wasn't many people in there either i guess the server forgot to put it in or something. my food was cold by the time i got my drink but it was decent. the pina colada was mid but my friends loved the passion fruit and mango margaritas. my friends finished their food so i assume it was pretty good. there was no dj so they opted to play youtube music videos & played the same song twice in a row. the service was slow for no reason & we had to hunt down our server to pay and leave. i think it's hit or miss because my friend had a great time when she came here last weekend. read more

The one star is for the food. Otherwise this place should get zero stars. Ambiance was cool but the service was absolutely horrible. Got seated and waited 15 minutes with no one coming to our table. We then moved to the bar hoping for a better result, but we were ignored & not acknowledged until we asked if we could order. Food came out before the drinks we ordered. Even saw another customer have to leave her table to grab the drink she ordered off the bar because server just had it sitting there. Basically felt like an inconvenience to this establishment. We wanted to order dessert & the bartender asked if we wanted it for here or to go as if he wanted us to get out of his hair. Pretty much watched us eat it & then awkwardly stood there awaiting payment. An uncomfortable experience all around. Good food tho read more

Read the review before going!!! We were in town for my daughter's college graduation. She saw this place on TikTok and wanted to try it. The server was very confused and not forthcoming with the truth about the food quality, upcharges, and so much more... maybe she was new. I don't know. But we ordered anyway. Our order was the 1.)Oyster Sampler (Mexican, surf and turf, and original)- the oysters were over cooked(mushed in your mouth), dirty&gritty, and awful...the menu description is not accurate. 2.)NOLA Sampler ( with seafood dip)- cerviche was spoiled, the popper was not stuffed in a jalepeno(the jalepeno was diced in the crust), seafood dip was not edible due to the grease, the street corn tasted as if it was soaked in vinegar before they grilled it, the crab balls and chicken quesidilla were ok 3.)lengua street tacos and Barilla tacos, but when they brought it to the table they didnt have rice. When we asked about the rice, the guy said oh we dont have no rice... Okay, so what do we get in place of it?" He said nothing. Okay... Sirplease take it back. The drinks were good, so that is a plus. Oh, and for the spoiled baja cerviche... she exchanged it for guacamole. What are they thinking? She didn't even ask if we wanted it, and it definitely is not equivalent to cerviche. The ladies restroom was out of order and she told my daughter to use the men's restroom (now this is not an individual restroom, it had multiple stalls and an urinal) while men just come in and out....again what are they thinking??? We asked for a manager, no one came, and finally I asked someone else and they acted like a manager was in the back but he wasn't. After waiting, I told them that we had to catch our flight, they said that they called the manager and he was on his way. We waited 15 more minutes and had to leave. This has got to be a joke. The food is bad. It looked good on the table but spoiled and just bad...is all I can say. The TikTok videos are a marketing scam to get people in there. Other people were complaining and walking out as well. The before and after pics are below. read more
