First night in NOLA, you know it's an ok spot if there are locals... and there were plenty. Full bar, excellent music and decent crawfish tacos. It's like the ocean wrapped in a corn tortilla, or actually TWO corn tortillas with cheese in between! Think, quesadilla meets seafood taco. This was honestly my first experience with crawfish, and it definitely wasn't what I expected, but in a good way. The "hot sauce" wasn't necessarily HOT, but it did have a great flavor profile with just the right amount of vinegar. All in all, it was a great local spot. read more

Favela Chic - Pizza Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Great location they have, too bad they are greedy with better way to save money content in the drinks is not the answer the he!! With this place read more

We walked around Frenchmen street and were having trouble finding clubs that were open and not full. Lucikly this place wasn't too crowded. The bands were great and the drinks were reasonably priced. We didn't get to try any of the food but it was a fun environment. There were plenty of tables to sit at and a small dance floor. read more

A very awesome place. Great live jazz music and the food is delicious. We had pizzas tacos burritos and wings. There was 9 of us. Prices for food is very reasonable with nice size portions. Great booze and bartenders. A definite place to visit to eat and watch live jazz read more

We were wandering Frenchman street for aome authentic NOLA food and a good jazz band to emtertain. Passing by Favela, the band sounded amazing. We wandered inside. The atmosphere was amazing. Friendly bartenders, noce open seating, room for dancing. Though the menu promoted ribs, pizza, and mexican food. Starved but entertained we ordered a shrimp quesidilla and shrimp gordito. Delicious! One wouldn't think..New Orleans knows how to do Mexican Food-but Favela Chic does! Packed with shrimp and bold flavors-this was one of my favorite dishes all week. So cheesy, well seasoned, I savoured every bite. The scrumptious sauces oozed out and I basically licked the plate. They are a definite must eat. We loved the band, bought a cd. Their bartenders took care of the band; checking in with free drinks, promoting intermissions. It was a nice experience. Like a bunch of friends hanging out. If we were locals we'd be there every Wednesday seeing the Sabertooth Swing. read more

On Frenchman. Big place. Got some drinks and looked at the menu. You never know in tourist areas if food is any good. Looking at the menu... pizza, salads, tacos, burritos???? Iffy. Sketchy? Talked to an employee who recommended food and told us where the Brazilian chef worked before, which made us comfortable to order. I had a taco salad bowl and Honduran tamale. Babycakes had 3 tacos. The Honduran Tamale is wrapped in banana leaf. Different from Mexican tamales. Usually more masa, less meat. This had more masa, but a lot of pork inside. The creamy salsa verde was really HOT! The tamale was great, along with the Pico de Gallo and hominy, or rice? that it comes with. The beef taco salad was Awesome!! Except for the shell, which I'm guessing is a premade, baked shell. NOT GOOD!! The beef in it was not ground, it was chunks. GREAT!! NOT dry, Flavorful, mixed with lettuce, tomato, etc... with more salsa verde made it super... I tried Babycakes tacos, and the Chicken and beef were good. She did not like the pork and pineapple (it was passable to me). Prices on alcohol were kind of high, but it's Frenchman St. Only ONE washroom, no paper towels. read more

Great spot. I wanted to try the food because it looked and smelled so good but we were just here for drinks and music. The band was awesome. Their name easy name of the guy's happy little band or something like that lol. Very talented. Great vibes. Will visit again if I'm ever in New Orleans. read more

Stopped because I was hungry and Favela Chic was right there but man am I glad I stopped. I ordered the pineapple pork qusadilla and it was the best quesadilla I ever ate. It came with guacamole and sour cream. It was so big I couldn't finish all of it. Next time I want to try try pineapple pork burrito. read more

Holy tamale! The tamales here are AH-MAZ-ING! I've eaten a lot of tamales, this one is worthy of possibly "best" to describe the quality. I came for the drag show and left with a belly full of tamale. read more

Favela Chic - Banana leaf wrapped pork tamale is crazy good. - Pizza Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Best wings and flavors in kenner Louisiana hands down. Remember to add the Valley Bread they're a game changer.

great spot for music & live bands & no cover.

While visiting Nola, I was craving pizza after listening to good jazz late at night. I asked the bartender for 2 slices of pepperoni pizza to which she sold me for 11 dollars. When I tell you I have never experienced food poisoning like this in all of my life, take me so seriously. Continuous throwing up and diarrhea for hours upon hours. Was half tempted to call an ambulance. Beware. Do not order food from here. read more

I don't normally leave terrible reviews but I am beside myself. I come in here to get something quick and easy, quesadillas right! Well, I'm eating my food and I mention that they're very salty and plain, so the bartender (black hair) gets upset and tries to take my plate away from me while I'm still eating!! Tells me I'm complaining too much. I told her she needs to learn manners and restaurant etiquette then tries to get me kicked out bc my last complaint was a roach that passed right by plate! I'm done! I'm a local and always try to contribute to the city but this place sucks! Who does that?? read more

Late night food! Tasty and pretty fast for the kitchen. Pizza available on the spot. We were starving and it was hot and fresh!

Went and the grill was closed, so I ordered the shrimp pies. Bad idea. The filling was NOT SHRIMP! I said it must be chicken or something. It looked like mystery meat. When I bought it to the lady who I assume owns or manages it, she kept saying it wasn't chicken. Me: it isn't shrimp! Not one time did she acknowledge that it wasn't shrimp in the pie. She just kept saying it wasn't chicken and said she would make chicken pies to show me. Atp, I was over it and wanted a refund. read more

Stopped in for beers, tacos and live music. All three hit the spot. The tacos are highly underrated-we think they are fantastic. The band that night was high quality. Sadly I cannot recall their name. I do know it was the night the Raptors beat Golden State for the Championship so that made it a little more memorable and exciting. We will go back next time on Frenchman Street. read more

I'm not sure how I've never stopped to get a slice of pizza from this place. I've walked past so many times while hanging on Frenchman St. and never thought to stop in. Well I can tell you this will be my pizza stop when I'm in the area from now on. The pizza is $4 a slice but it's more like 2 slices. It's super cheesy and the cheese pulls apart from the pizza just like it does on pizza commercial. It's no frills to this place order your pizza at the walk up counter or order wings and other things from the bar. read more

Favela Chic - Pizza Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

This place has a cool vibe. The live music is good. The staff is so nice... especially the bar servers. The food is pretty good. I was sooo happy to see banana leaf tamales. They were so good. I would've ordered more to go but I was still partying. If the place was cleaner, I would've given it 5 stars. They need to be more consistent with sweeping and wiping those counters down. read more

I liked this place. Just a stripped down music hall style bar, no frills. The kinda place I could see myself going to a lot of I lived here. The band was led by a trumpet and was a classic jazz band, great!!! We only stopped in for a couple drinks as we tripped along Frenchmen for a night, so we didn't try the food but definitely would when we make it back. An important piece to the puzzle that is a night on Frenchmen. read more

Ordered some late night food from Favela Chic through Uber Eats. I ordered the pineapple pork quesarito which was excellent. Great portions for the price, while my friend ordered the chicken tacos. She was a fan of the tacos, despite the chicken being a little dry. We also ordered the mini shrimp pies, which were disappointing to say the least. Altogether, not bad for a late night bite after a night of drinking, but could be better. read more

What a gem. Full bar, great food, great service. Mike, bartender was friendly and knowledgeable. The pork and crawfish tacos were amazing. The hot sauce was bomb!! Live band was good as well read more

Stopped in for a bit of food and jazz, but we don't drink. I asked if they had non alcoholic drink options. Bartender asked me for flavor profiles and then made us two mocktails on the spot that were amazing. We had a great time. read more

Ordered through Postmates, got my tamales delivered, and.. they're basically all dough. The pork isn't well seasoned either. It's just a sad glob of tasteless dough around sad little chunks of pork. Definitely don't recommend unless you enjoy being disappointed and underwhelmed. read more

Favela Chic - Mmmm! Doughy, tasteless tamales! - Pizza Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Stumbled in on a Wednesday evening and loved the jazz band playing. Ordered two great drinks from the bar and enjoyed true NO jazz!

The food is great, the customer service is awesome. They have small dishes and good beer on tap. Pizza is the most popular item. Music all around the area as well. Give a shot when visiting the NOLA. read more

I am 26. visiting from California. Went in, drank. Stood outside for a phone call and all of a sudden was told my ID was fake a moment later. read more

Definitely come here if you're on Frenchman Street. No cover charge to get in. Me and my girls were looking for hip hop/Spanish music which caught our attention when we walked by. It was pretty packed which is what drew us inside. The drink prices weren't crazy either but being from NYC i'm used to steep prices. It has a huge open space which is perfect for dancing. There's also a stage where the DJ was placed since there was no live music. It has a really chill atmosphere overall and I enjoyed myself. We actually left to walk around and see if anything else was poppin but ended up coming back! I was here during my trip to NOLA in August so it was still warm outside and the doors were open. I like that we were able to see the vibe before committing. The only thing is they close at 2 am which is pretty early for me so we ended up going across the street to Blue Nile. read more

Service is the worst ever!! We asked for burrito without cheese and they brought us with cheese we needed to wait again for a new one.. then the girl brought us the burrito without the gucamulle.. she always asked if everything is ok but no everything was not Bad service, dry food, dirty restroom... Will never come back!!! read more

Servers are rude and obnoxious. Don't waste your money and time on the horrible drinks an reheated food. Watch out for the two floor guys, they are the absolute worst. Come to New Orleans often, will never come back here. The music was great, which is sad. Really bad experience. Listen to the reviews. There is a reason why this is the ONLY bar on Frenchmen that isn't packed, it's service sucks. EVERY other bar on Frenchmen is better and accommodating. read more

The food is awesome. The service was shitty. Bartender didn't look like she wanted to be there and had a shitty attitude towards us. Didn't have drinks menus so you have to guess your drink and the bartender NIA didn't even offer to help us AT ALL. I would come back of she wasnts there. Example: they had a raspberry margarita and it didn't taste right. Didn't drink it at all. Asked her kinda for a regular margarita and was just a jerk about it. And charged me for the drink I didn't even drink! So horrible. With all the restaurants on the block you could totally go somewhere where you feel welcomed. Again the bartender name was NIA. So disappointed. read more

Rating a one because I have to rate it. This has to be the worse experience I have ever had in NOLA. They made us pay in advance for the food right after ordering and when we started eating I can understand. I ordered a chicken quesadilla and Taco Bell would've been better. It came with no sour cream, no lettuce, no nothing. My gf ordered 3 tacos and requested onions and cilantro and they stated they didn't have onions?! She was fine and just requested for corn tortillas and they were flour the server literally said no those are corn and the manager had to come to verify that they were flour and not corn. Save your self time and money and do not come here!!! This place is HORRIBLE! read more

Amazing shrimp and pineapple quesadilla! Bartender was super friendly and the service was speedy. Definitely a great late night eats option. read more

Favela Chic - Destroyed this bih - Pizza Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

I'm starting to think that tacos maybe in my blood. If I don't get tacos every couple of days I think I start going through withdrawals. So I had to find a Taco spot that I liked in New Orleans. This place was it. They had good tacos, music, good service and were open late. I had the al pastor, their shrimp and steak tacos. All of them equally delicious and larger than most tacos which was greatly appreciated. There was a night club right next door so once the food was consumed we slid into that bad boy to burn the calories off. We came back on two separate occasions. Can't go wrong with a spot like this. read more

First off, they really need to hose off this piss smell off the sidewalk outside. Then, they need to secure the bathroom so that no one can easily kick it in while drunk. Aside from that, I appreciate them giving alternative acts a place to play. They also have a decent beer selection. read more

I literally came here to grab a slice of pizza while we were on Frenchmen st. It was the only place that was quick fast and didn't have a wait. Pizza was just ok. Something quick and greasy for while we were out drinking. read more

This is a somewhat strange venue as far as layout - there is a well lit bar and then a hallway and a more nightclub themed room and another bar behind the first one. The bartender was talkative and recommended food and drink and told about stories of her travels and her work at other establishments. Talked to a few of the customers that came in and out here, and it definitely was a friendly crowd. And later a very drunk (but still friendly) crowd. I had a good time here - maybe not the top notch food you might find in New Orleans but a fun place anyway. read more

Hands down the best place for chicken wings. They don't have any fancy sauce but I say "why F up a good thing". They are fried crispy perfection. The bartenders are all friendly and fun! Be nice to them they have to put up with thousands of drunk hangry people all year long. read more

After the manager handed me a slice after I paid for it fell right on the floor in the midst of the transaction. He said "yes these plates are flimsy" and wouldn't give me another one! I don't know any place so stingy. He took responsibility for the fall (flimsy plates) and then refused to pay up for it. BAD BAD BAD read more

The food was great but I asked the server for just a fruit punch with no alcohol and she brought me and charged me for a rum punch. I'm sober and have stayed away from alcohol for years. Likely wont be back because I dont want to risk being served alcohol again. read more

Do yourself a favor and stay away from this misery. Came in because they had the kitchen rolling late night. Ordered wings and was told they didn't have enough to accommodate our order, asked for a pizza to reciprocate as we had already paid. The owner refused as the price difference was $4, I tried to have a conversation as to how customer service works, especially considering they could not offer their full menu items, ya the owner could care less charged me to replace the items we had already paid for. Please someone educate this horrible woman on how to treat customers......or just fire this terrible person and your business may have a chance to survive. If this is your business, damn the worst restaurant manager I ever worked for had 1000% better customer service approach than this terrible human. read more
