Chilangos - Carnitas - Mexican Near Me - Kenner, Louisiana

Not the best customer service experience. I went here for Taco Tuesday with a group of eight friends and the service was lacking from the start. We weren't greeted, we had to ask for chips and salsa after our drinks arrived, and we had to ask for sauces once the food finally came. The food itself was a letdown, as the salsa and beans were extremely watered down. Additionally, while Taco Tuesday is listed on the menu, they don't specify that there's an extra upcharge for beef. I wouldn't recommend it if you are looking for good service and clear pricing. read more

Chilangos - Tacos sausage (salchicha or chorizo), beef (carne de res), and chicken (pollo) - Mexican Near Me - Kenner, Louisiana

I was craving Mexican seafood and was so excited that I found this place. The reviews were promising so I decided to stop by for dinner. The waitresses were kind and quick to take my order. I ordered a simple fried fish and a queso for an appetizer. The queso was simple and just ok. The salsas were not spiced at all and were very watery. The dish came and it was extremely greasy, I get that it's a fried dish but at least let some of the oil drip off before plating. I used several napkins to try to take off some of the excess oil. The fries were very soggy and not seasoned at all and the fish looked appetizing but when I bit into it, it had no flavor whatsoever. The texture was there and it looked like it was going to taste good but it fell extremely short in taste. On the flip side, the beans were overly seasoned. The rice was also lacking salt. I felt bad when the waitress came to ask me how everything was. I had to tell her that they completely forgot to season my food. She apologized and I said it wasn't her fault and asked for my check and told her she might want to tell the chef to not forget the salt next time. Overall the place was nice for group gatherings, although the music was a little loud, they also had several TVs playing different things. Maybe I selected the wrong dish but I have to say I won't be going here again when I want a good Mexican seafood. I'll have to check out their other dishes and hope they're much better. For now they won't be added on my places to frequent during my work trips. read more

Stopped on a Monday afternoon, not many customers inside. Got some chips and salsa, and a small dip bowl of I think mole, or pureed frijoles???? The salsa was bad. Pureed tomatos or some bad canned salsa. No onion, garlic or jalapeno. Pretty tasteless. The mole was better, but still not great. Had a horchata, tasty. THE FOOD: Ordered a lengua taco, and Bistek ala Mexicana. The lengua was just ok. Tortilla good, Cilantro and onion. The bistec itself was good. Not too much meat, but had good flavor and the sauce had a good kick. The rice wasn't good, the frijoles were passable. Overall, kind of disappointed. I had heard good things about this restaurant. read more

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! read more

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! read more

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! read more

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. read more

This is going to probably end up being my new go to Taco Tuesday spot. The food is excellent and the staff is super friendly. The steak tacos are delicious and very flavorful. I also had the steak nachos that were outstanding. This place is fairly new and you can get in with a wait but it definitely won't be like this once more people find this dime in a rough. I will be eating here again probably Tuesday!!! read more

This is my fav place in the area for authentic street tacos. The lengua is *chef's kiss.* The service here is pretty bad so I usually only order on ubereats. They have forgotten to include my queso and chips a couple of times, which is disappointing. It's not enough to deter me from those tacos though! read more

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. read more

Taco Tuesday was great. Can't beat $1 tacos!!!! Salsa and bean dip were great. Love the variety that was offered.

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 read more

This spot is hands down the best place for tacos in New Orleans. The tacos are everything you could ever want for a taco. They are authentic and have a great selection of different salsas and accompaniments. Birria tacos and chicharrón are a must order. Service is beyond exceptional. Order all the taco types and be sure to grab a michelada, too. read more

$8 LUNCH SPECIALS INCLUDING A (5) TACO PLATE and you can get a variety of fillings including steak, beef, chicken, tongue, pork and pastor. We tried the sopes: essentially 2 soft tacos with a ton of meat and the works (beans, avocado, sour cream, cheese, tomatoes) - almost two meals. The steak and chicken were particularly moist and tasty, each with its own smokey marinade flavor. NOT REALLY WORTH THE TRIP TO KENNER THOUGH The service wasn't attentive and the tables sticky. If you're looking for authentic Mexican/Hispanic food in New Orleans proper, I prefer Taqueria Guerrero in Mid City. read more

A hole-in-the-wall, ma and pop joint servicing mostly the Latino crowd. I've been coming to the restaurant on and off for years and have had mixed experiences, but lately, I notice a general degradation of its physical appearance, both its outside and inside comfort level, the quality and value of the food and drinks, and customer service. Collectivity, these add up to a subpar to a marginal dining experience. There's a risk in dining out and there are different reasons why people are willing to put up with a restaurant's shortcomings. Knowing what those shortcomings are is helpful in defining one's expectations and minimizing disappointments. But rudeness, dishonesty, and discrimination are never justifiable. Sadly, on past visits, I've experienced this firsthand. You can read other diner's reviews on Yelp that point out similar treatment by the management and the waitstaff. That said, in this regard, the place is a disaster. You are free to spend your money anyway you like but you might be happier if you spend your money someplace else. read more

Nice ambiance. Colorful and cozy. Our server was pleasant and accommodating. Complementary chips and salsa. The salsa is served warm and is quite tasty. Great, freshly-made guacamole. I ordered huaraches from the lunch menu which is served on the weekends too. $8.00. Very impressed by the freshness of all the ingredients. My partner ordered the chicken with mole. The sauce was delicious. For those of you who lack confidence in overcoming a language barrier, fear not: the menu descriptions are printed in English. read more

This was another random Yelp recommendation we jumped at that turned out to be worthwhile. There have been a number of Mexican places in this space over the years, some good and some bad. Stepping into the restaurant you do not feel like you are in Louisiana anymore. It has a very authentic ethnic feel with most of its patrons being Spanish speaking. I would characterize this place as an upscale Mexican homestyle cooking restaurant. I recognize that is somewhat of a contradiction in terms because traditional Mexican food is usually unpretentious and substantive. So by upscale I mean a little fancier ( for example their seafood soup has a much more diverse array of seafood in it than would be otherwise traditional) , but still well within the realm of traditional Mexican comfort food. Prices are good, portions are good.The condiment bar is great quality. If you want real traditional Mexican food, this is probably one of the best places in the city, and along those lines it appears to also have traditional Mexican style service which means maybe they're attentive maybe they aren't. At one point I began to wonder if I did something to piss off the waitress, the way I would get odd looks and rare attention from her. This seems to be one of those places where a lot of regulars go and when somebody shows up for the first time maybe they get weird looks? I don't know, but I got that vibe. In any case I would definitely return and visit this place again, although note to self: I might want to being the waitress a small gift next time to encourage my drinks to be routinely refilled. read more

Pretty authentic Mexican. There's a chef outside grilling taco meats right in front of the window! I enjoyed the Street style taco de lengua minus the grilled veggies and big pepper laid atop -Would have preferred it on the side to minimize the sogging of my tortilla. It was a short distance from the grill to my table but my styrofoam plate had a little puddle of grease by the time it got to me! Lots of tv's for your eyeballs & several booths for your tush. Not a fan of the parking lot. Would I go again?...Maybe. read more

Wow. So I totally judged at first and this definitely wouldn't be a place I would choose to eat at looking outside. The restaurant outside is pretty grungy and intimidating. The inside is surprising, the leather on the booths isn't ripped, clean seating. However, get ready to get your ears blasted with Mexican music. This place is as authentic as I can imagine. But! The food! So good! The quesadillas were delicious. They weren't super cheesy but it did have tons of flavor. My boyfriend got the tacos and he enjoyed those as well. The food is flavorful and the delicious. The complimentary chips and salsa were good as well. The chips seemed made in house - always a good thing. The salsa was spicy and not too watery. I'd come again, but hopefully the music won't be as loud. read more

I love Latin Cuisine. This is a little hole in the place. Which to me are best places to go. I met a friend for dinner but while I was inside waiting for them to arrive not one single person acknowledged my existence. I did observe other patrons walk-in seat themselves so when my friend arrived we played follow the leader and sat ourselves. I will straight up say that our waitress was a little pissy (yes, I said it) when I said thank you instead of gracias when she handed us our menus. I ordered water and she looked at me and said aqua with a raised brow....... yeah this gets better. My friend ordered carne something (in Spanish)...... I order chicken fajita and the waitress looks at my friend so my proceeds to order the fajita pollo. It was apparent the language barrier was an issue. I sat quietly as I often do to study my surroundings. The food was beautiful and plentiful... very delicious. The service is why I only gave 3 stars. If I return I will download a translation app and hope for improvements in my experience. You can treat people like crap and expect them to spend their hard earned dollars to patronized a cuisine one loves. Hey, I get it -there are language barriers every where - I would have happily spoken Spanish to the waitress had she not pre judged me.... Never assume based on looks! So basically according to our waitress my friend was there alone- she would not acknowledge my existence, look my way to speak or even that I was taking up space...... things like that affect gratuity...... I'm not required to tip 20+%( which I over tip) in fact I'm not required to tip at all.... Oh turn the music down some .... it's a restaurant not a night club.....there's nothing wrong with loud music it was just toooooo loud read more

Beware because gratuity is included in your check, which is fine-no big deal, IF THE SERVICE IS GOOD. We went on a Tuesday with taco specials and margarita specials. When we ordered the margarita our waitress asked if we wanted a medium or a large- keep in mind never mentioning that the special was only for a small (much less offering the special), which was very annoying. When we received our check and noticed we were charged way more than we saw the margarita special was for brought it up to the waitress she said we had to pay for it because we drank it (we were never not planning on not paying for it). I asked to speak to a manager and she told me they did not have one. All in all this was all very time consuming and frankly irritating there was no one to speak to about this issue. Food was decent but overall experience very poor. read more

The lunch specials definitely deserve 5 stars!! However, charging me $15 for a weak ass margarita with an "extra shot" was not worth it.. Still tasted weak so maybe ill just stick with getting the lunch specials from now on... Btw their sopes are great!!! read more

The food is decent and pretty authentic. They don't have iced tea and I tried to get a Topo Chico water but they just gave me a plastic bottled water instead. Sunday is a bad day to go here as they have VERY loud Mexican music blaring to the point you have to yell to understand the person right next to you. The loudness of the music makes this place intolerable and unbearable on Sunday or any other day they choose to do it. For just the food it is worth giving it a try but if you hear the loud music skip it. read more

I have lived in NOLA for 3 years & have gone to most every "Mexican" restaurant around & I must say they are all pretty bad!! I know some people will not agree with me, however I grew up in California. Bay Area to be exact & unless you've eating "Real Mexican" food in the mission district of San Fransisco or downtown Sam Jose you have not experienced Mexican food. This place is Fantastic, the music , fresh homemade tortillas corn & flour. I ordered what I consider to be the basics, carne Asada tacos & grilled chicken quesadilla. They did not disappoint!! We also ordered the Camaron's a Diablo (spicy shrimp in red sauce, for you gringo's out there) & the heat this dish packed was on point!! Classic Mexican spice & flavor. The refried beans just like my mothers that I grew up on. The homemade flour tortillas just like my mom use to make , no joke brought a tear to my eye!! I didn't realize how much I missed some good ole home cooking!!! So take it from this boy, one of the very few Mexican/Puerto Ricans that lives here. You'd have to travel to CA. To find Mexican food this good!!! I can't wait to come back to try more of the menu!! read more

Finally. After living here for a handful of months we found a good mexican restaurant and on top of that the service was great. There is a salsa bar with sliced raw onions and cucumbers. (If you claim to know anything about authentic mexican food but you don't know about the onions and cucumbers...then you don't know authentic.) The tacos are great and everything is fresh, as well as the enchiladas and burritos. All of the 4 or 5 different salsas are just amazing, each with their own flavor and desired entree to work with. Been there twice in the last two weeks and planning another trip this Tuesday. P.S. Leonore (not sure if I spelled it right) gave us the best service we have had in a while. Thanks!! read more
