Unique atmosphere, great location & awesome friendly staff. The fried plantains are really good. Did I mention they had all you can eat street tacos at lunch? When we visited they seemed to be suffering from staff shortage which meant a little longer wait time for our food BUT it came out hot & tasty with apologies for the wait. read more

When in New Orleans on my trip for my graduation from LSU, Johnny Sánchez was a must stop. If you don't already know walking in, Johnny Sánchez was founded by Aáron Sánchez of whom most know from MasterChef. I'm on a mission to eat at restaurants founded by all the judges and this was my second after Gordon Ramsey's Fish & Chips in NYC. There was so much on the menu that I wanted to order (here's looking at you - short rib birria), but I figure that I can always come back on a return trip and stuck to more traditional Mexican fare. My friends and I shared an order of the chips, salsa, and guacamole of which all three were heavenly. Don't even get me started on those fried plantain chips. I could munch on those for days. For my main course, I ordered a carne asada plate and had to have a Mexican Coke to accompany it all. There was no room for dessert, as much as I know it would have been delicious. I loved the decor and the big mural on the wall, too. Our server was wonderful and patient with us (maybe more with me due to my excitement). I'll definitely need to get back when I can enjoy a margarita while I'm at it. read more

I recently stopped by Johnny Sanchez and had the elote corn and the $11.11 all-you-can-eat tacos and overall it was a great experience. Food: The elote corn was flavorful and well-seasoned creamy with the right amount of spice and toppings, exactly what you want from a good Mexican street-food style side. The $11.11 all-you-can-eat tacos were a fantastic deal. The tacos were fresh, tasty, and satisfying, with a variety of fillings that kept every bite interesting. The portion size and quality made it feel like excellent value for the price, especially if you love tacos. Service: Service was friendly and efficient. Staff checked in to make sure everything was good, and drinks and food arrived at a steady pace. It felt welcoming without being rushed. Ambiance: The vibe at Johnny Sanchez is lively and fun. It's casual but stylish, perfect for a relaxed meal with friends or family. The atmosphere adds to the overall experience and makes it a fun spot to enjoy tacos and good drinks. Overall: Johnny Sanchez delivered great food at a great price. The elote corn was delicious and the all-you-can-eat tacos were a standout deal flavorful, filling, and perfect for taco fans. I'd definitely go back again. read more

Fantastic service and excellent food! Staff were super friendly and quick - especially considering that we came here after a saints home game. We shared an order of chips and guacamole. There was so much guac that we were able to scoop some into our entrees. I also loved that they served the guac with a combination of plantain chips and tortilla chips. I ordered two shrimp tacos for my meal - the rice was just OK, but the beans and the tacos were fabulous! My boyfriend ordered one of their burritos and he devoured the whole thing. Nothing but great remarks to say about this restaurant. read more

I was finally able to try Johnny Sanchez after having it on my list of restaurants to try. They did not disappoint! The restaurant was nice, open and really clean. I loved the mural that's on the wall. I was with my coworkers and it was about 10 of us. We were sat promptly and the server brought us water. He took our orders pretty quickly. We had the queso, chips & salsa with guacamole and brussel sprouts for our appetizers. The queso was really good with a nice kick. I don't normally eat brussel sprouts but I decided to try them and they were fantastic! For my entree, I had the chicken fajitas. They were really good as well. I couldn't finish it all. I had the street corn for my side and that was good too! Everything was really good and I definitely come back serval times over! read more

I hate that I waited so long to try this place. The aesthetic is amazing! A more elevated taco experience but you can dress up or down. I did the unlimited street tacos which were a great deal.

We were looking forward to trying Aaron Sanchez restaurant in New Orleans especially being fans. We came into the restaurant a bit shocked seeing there were no customers on a Friday night except for one lady at the bar. The staff paid no attention to us when we walked in and the lady kept wiping down plates and ignored us for a good 3-5min. Finally someone yelled out and her that there are customers and she finally seated us. It took her a bit of time to come take our order too even tho we were ready and tried to flag the waitress down a few times. We ordered albondigas (meatball) tacos and some chicken tortilla soup on the side. The chicken tortilla soup was flavorful and hearty. The meatballs were had good flavor too and was topped with a few pickled radishes that paired well with the meatballs. The food was actually not bad and was well balanced. The interiors were okay and not too fancy with a more casual atmosphere. However the vibes were really bizarre and very off. The staff didn't seem to want to be there and didn't seem to care. It definitely made the dinner feel uncomfortable and awkward. We probably won't be back here again and don't really recommend this place. It's just a bit disappointing when we had such high hopes for it. Definitely didn't live up to expectations or caliber of what we thought an Aaron Sanchez restaurant would be like. read more

Johnny Sánchez - Mexican Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Shame on Aarón Sanchez for allowing this place to carry his name and to put out such awful food. Chips and salsa, $6 for average chips and burnt plantain chips. Salsa tasted store bought and that's not a compliment. Rice had zero flavor. Beans were mushy and tasted bitter like the cooks tried to add mole or other seasonings. The "Johnny Sanchez margarita" tasted like a margarita. Nothing special. Service was decent. Came in on a Saturday night and the place was dead. That should have been a sign. The fact we didn't eat our food and the server didn't say anything at all or even ask what was wrong is super concerning. The restaurant was clean and had a nice vibe, cool decor and well lit. read more

I came here with a group of colleagues for a work dinner. The vibe here is very chill but a bit elevated which I loved. The kind of place you can sit for hours and enjoy yourself. Our waiter was great! He brought the food out quickly and was very attentive for being a group of 10. The endless tacos were pretty good, I wish they weren't so dry. For an $11 endless taco special, you can't beat it! The street corn looked incredible - I wish I would've ordered it. read more

I've been here twice and both times it's been amazing! The servers have been very friendly, especially when I came with a big group last time! Our waiter was very attentive. I tried the chips and queso, which was very good. I'm not a big queso fan but this was delicious! I love how the chips are served with plantain chips too, they're so good! And of course I had to order some tacos again, and they're truly some of the best. The crispy shrimp taco and the cauliflower tacos are so good. I think about them all the time! It's a great location downtown and the restaurant is chicly decorated and very open. I highly recommend! read more

Stopped in and was delighted to see a happy hour on a Friday evening! Ordered the happy hour margarita with salt - delicious. We also ordered the chips and salsa and queso - all fantastic and seasoned appropriately - not too spicy! The chips and fried plantains were fresh and also had a nice kick to them. We each ordered a quesadilla - one chicken and one shrimp. Quesadillas were nicely portioned. The proteins were nicely sized and freshly cooked. Again - seasoning was on point - not too much and not too spicy! We will definitely be back! Adam our bartender was fantastic as well as the ladies at the front. This is not your regular Mexican food spot - it's better! read more

Inedible. Ordered to go. I know to go is never as good as eating in the restaurant but this was horrible. I ordered the corn salad. It was overflowing with grease. No way the corn was fresh. This should be a good pop in your mouth. It was just mush. Also had two chicken tortilla soups delivered. The avocado and all the toppings were tossed in it already (with the exception of the tortilla strips---but those were burned). Should be on the side so you can put it fresh when you get it home as to not change the texture. And to call it chicken is wild. I had some mealy crumbles at the bottom that I wish they'd have just pulled out completely and only had the broth. $40 order later and I cant eat any of it. read more

Stopped here for their taco special recently to celebrate their 11 year anniversary. It was all you can eat street tacos for $11.11.

Stopped here before a concert with my girls. The staff were super welcoming and friendly. The decor was cute and well lit but still gave a cozy feeling. For food we ordered street tacos i had two barbacoa and two verde chicken but for meats you can choose between verde chicken al pastor (pork) and barbacoa (beef). Although the food had some flavor i wish it had just a bit more to really set it off but overall the tacos were pretty good! We ordered margaritas for drinks they were so good and had a good range of flavors (strawberry mango passionfruit blackberry blueberry) that you can mix . We really enjoyed our time here and will be back! read more

Great food, got the endless taco deal and it was amazing, the al pastore was my favorite, great flavor. They are small but they are filling I had 5 and was pretty full, definitely can't beat the price. Service was great the waiter was good but they just didn't have enough staff to tend to everybody and that's why they are getting a 4. Inside is very cool, they have plenty of seating a decent sized bar and a really cool art wall. Highly recommend stoping in for a taco read more

Came in for happy hour and had a great experience. Alia was amazing! We got house margaritas that she made and they were the best house margaritas i've had. The $1 tacos were good, guac was ok, and wings were also good. They tasted a bit like buffalo wings, but were good overall. Already mentioned, but service was a 10/10 especially with it being empty when we arrived. I'll definitely come back for another margarita before I leave if Alia is there! read more

The place was very nice and clean. The host gave us a bit of the restaurant's history. The decoration is meaningful and the art is beautiful. Now the food, I wish the sauce was a little spicy.

Came here on a Sunday after work and lucked up and was able to get tacos off their game day menu. Our server Arielle was very helpful. We started with the adobo wings and their really good with just the right amount of heat. The accompanying chimichurri ranch was delicious. I had the bam bam chicken tacos and my husband had the short rib birria quesabirra which he loved. My husband liked his top shelf margarita. I initially ordered a coconut melon drink which I didn't care for but my husband liked so I gave it to him and ordered a blackberry lemonade which was much better! Overall it was a good experience and my husband said he would like to go back so that's a win! read more

Thought we were going to another taco spot in the area but they were booked for the night, so we had to look for somewhere else to go. I've passed Johnny Sanchez before walking on my lunch break but never tried it so we decided to go there. Outside the restaurant they have the main menu, dessert menu, taco Tuesday menu, and happy hour menu displayed. Once seated inside we were only given the main menu. I thought it was strange on a Tuesday they don't give you the taco Tuesday menu or mention it. When my friend asked about it then the waitress was like o yes we have the taco Tuesday specials but it seems like if you don't look at the board outside you wouldn't know. She decided to get 2 bam bam chicken tacos and rice. She also ordered the cucumber spritz. I am currently on a fast for Lent where I can't eat fried food, bread, or really any carbs so my options were very limited as I could only do the chicken tortilla soup or the salad. Would've been nice if they had make your own bowl or had cauliflower rice substitutions or something. Nonetheless I ordered the chicken tortilla soup. Food didn't take long to come out. The first soup they brought out was luke warm at best so I had to send it back. My waitress was very apologetic for that and the second bowl came out really hot where I could see the steam which I liked. My friend enjoyed her tacos but felt like they were small and probably should've got 3 instead of 2. My tortilla soup was ok, not the best I've had. In the restaurant the workers do a good job of handling tables together. There was another waitress who filled my water without me having to ask and a worker with locs who checked in on us as well to make sure everything was going good. Once I'm off my fast maybe I'll go back to try the endless street tacos for $11.11. read more

Johnny Sánchez - Mexican Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

This place is in a great location downtown on poydras, has really nice interior and the food from the regular menu is usually very good. My favorites include the burger, cauliflower tacos and albondigas tacos. The service however, has never been great. I have gone in the past for special occasions , office lunches and birthday celebrations with coworkers and evening dinners for board meetings and have spent money on standard menu items and drinks so it was not my first time there. I went today along with two coworkers for their 11th anniversary celebration special (unlimited tacos for $11.11). It was a good idea in theory but our experience was far from anything worth celebrating. The hostess sat us as soon as we got in so there was no wait (11:30am). She gave is menus and gave us a minute to look it over. The restaurant was maybe 25% full. Not busy at all! We thought we were in for an enjoyable lunch. When she came back to take our order and we said we wanted to do the anniversary special, it all went down hill. She was snarky and dismissive and when we asked her questions about the items on the special, she seemed completely irritated that we were there and all her responses were almost condescending. She also complained about the large groups of people that have come on for said special and how she cannot wait for the special to be over. When my coworker asked how many tacos he can order at a time, she rolled her eyes and said it "depends on how busy they are". Excuse me, what? Is it unlimited tacos that are going to be served one at a time? Two at a time? Was there some fine print we missed? I was really confused by her response. When we finally got our tacos, they were just ok. The beef barbacoa was my favorite. The al pastor and chicken were just ok. The salsas that came with the tacos did not have much flavor or spice so I asked for hot sauce and she again rolled her eyes, huffed and puffed and turned around to get it. I was really disappointed in this bad attitude and treatment of customers who were there to show support for their 11th anniversary. Unfortunately, I cannot continue to recommend or support this space for office outings, conventions, business meetings, board meetings, etc. if they cannot offer professional service to customers. read more

Here's the thing, if you're gonna be pricier and consider yourself upscale Mexican than say Felipe's or Juan's or even barracuda... I think some basics have to be in play. Al pastor is made authentically at all the other joints mentioned, but here the pork was cubed and definitely tossed with the sauce to mimic as if it were cooked like Al pastor. Details like that make it hard to rate this place higher than their competitors who are far less expensive. Service was great , happy hour Margaritas are good. Their tortillas are definitely homemade or tasted so at least. I just struggled with freshness in some of the ingredients like the Albondigos. Very flavorful but didn't have that fresh taste. Same with the rice and beans. Overall, I don't know how to feel about returning given our other good Mexican in the city. read more

It was ok. We started the Chimichurri Adobe wings and they were basically just buffalo, needs more adobe into the mix. My wife had the albondigas tacos which were very good.

Service was very good. read more

I used to think that the decor was chaotic, but now I get it. It's medieval whimsy. I love the Día de los Muertos mural. Service from all the staff we encountered was top notch from the host, to our waiter, to waiters who weren't assigned to us, to the friendly man from back of house who ran our food. Our server. T with the locs, was attentive and understanding when my date didn't enjoy his cocktail. The al pastor ribs with fried corn was presented with a smoke filled glass cloche. They didn't taste like al pastor and were cooler than room temperature, but I found the flavor interesting- in a good way. The positive connotations I have to them was probably because they were so tender. The fried chicken sandwich is no longer there, but I ordered the adobo fries that used to accompany them. The fries seasoning changed a ton from the days of the chicken sandwich (late quarantine). They are very cumin forward. I didn't love that, but they made up for it by coming with an automatic-no questions asked tin cup of ketchup. The most patriotic thing about me is that I believe that French fries and ketchup are an American staple and if I wanted a mouth full of mayonnaise, I'd go to Belgium. I'd move to Belgium for the healthcare, but not to dip a fry into aioli. I digressed. Date man really enjoyed the enchiladas. The frozen drinks are strong and the recipe tastes really fresh. We came on a taco Tuesday, but we missed the happy hour from 3-6pm which was fine. I'd come back any day. read more

Easily my favorite restaurant while in NOLA. We shared the carnitas nachos 10/10! I ordered the shrimp and grits ( way better than anything around town)! Going back tomorrow for more!

This restaurant is owned by chef Arron Sanchez and we loved it! read more

Fantastic Tacos and traditional Mexican Cuisine, magnificent - Chef Aarón created a truly unique spot, we Love it!

Johnny Sanchez has great food! I got the shrimp tacos which were awesome and their street corn is a must order side.

Their nachos, fajitas and margaritas were good but overpriced. For $34, I'd expect more of a meat taste but, like someone else said, the food is most likely pre-packaged frozen food. The highlight was seeing Aaron Sanchez and his gf come in. He said "hi" to some of the customers but walked by us since I didn't try to make eye contact with him. He looked sweaty and drunk. Almost homeless. It was creepy. Anyways- it was a good experience but only a one-time thing. read more

Johnny Sánchez - Aaron Sanchez taking a pic with a patron. - Mexican Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

I've been to New Orleans a few times & it's one of my favorite cities in the U.S & every time I've been here it's been a 5-star restaurant experience & it's the only place domestic & international that I've been to thus far where every restaurant literally I've given 5 stars....until today. My sister & I are fans of Masterchef & like Aaron Sanchez & since my sister was already going to be in New Orleans for a wedding which was a few days prior to her birthday, my family & I flew in a few days earlier, so we could celebrate. If it wasn't for this being Aaron Sanchez restaurant we would've never came & I to wish we didn't. For starters in New Orleans the low temperature was like 86 while the high was over 100. On this particular day it was muggy & humid outside. When we got to the restaurant it was hot as hell! THEY DIDN'T HAVE AC!!!!! Once we sat down, I mentioned it being so hot & the waitress actually said "it's been broke for awhile". How?!?!?!?????? It's 100 degrees & humid outside, how is it that the AC has been broke for days!!!!! That is completely UNACCEPTABLE!!!!! I can give you 24-48 hours broken, but for awhile?!?!?! If this were any other day I would've left! Now to the food...(it literally just kept getting worse) smh. So for my appetizer I had the guac & chips which was fine. For my entree I had the chicken quesadilla & didn't not like it at all. I believe they put cheese on top & which is why it looked how it did, however we eat with our eyes first & it wasn't aesthetically pleasing. It looked like a omelet. I also had the street corn which was good. For my drink I had the Cruising Punch (which the sever forgot to put in for me smh) & it was ok. The rest of my party thought the food was ok, but nothing to rave about. I had to use the restroom & going to the restroom looks like a scene from a scary movie. It's a long hall & to the left it's the entrance to the bathroom with the restaurant next door. Never in my life had I seen nonsense like that. The women's restroom as well only had 2-3 stalls, so having two restaurants share it is ridiculous. Once you walk down the long hallway, there's a door & when you go through there is a women's & men's bathroom. It's just very dark & cold getting to that bathroom. This restaurant also has a thing where they only accept 4 credit cards max with a party. I've never heard of that before in my life & I don't see the purpose of that. I would respect it more if they said one card or don't have the "rule" at all. With each bill as well they charge gratuity, which I think is slick. There were only 5 people our bill was covering (because we asked for a separate check due to the size of party & with the 4 card rule it's just too much) but we were charged gratuity as well as the other people using a card. I was extremely disappointed! I would NEVER come here again & I wouldn't suggest it to anyone else either. It's ironic the rating for this is as high as it is. I just can't believe Aaron is a millionaire & you have your AC in your restaurant in 100 degree weather city not working for awhile. That is just insane to me. For some people they just care about a profit & nothing else & Aaron didn't seem like that kind of person, but I just don't know how he could be ok with that. Have you ever tried eating & had to fan yourself at the same time? That's not a fun time. I just can't believe this experience I had. I love dining at new places & having experiences while enjoying delicious food & this wasn't it. I just saw a review & someone said in July the AC wasn't working & now it's August. Smfh UNACCEPTABLE WHEN Q MILLIONAIRE OWNS IT! Marissa- that response to the AC is unacceptable. I've only been to New Orleans during the summertime & never went into a restaurant that didn't have AC. These other businesses that you speak of has not been my experience. You all need to hire someone from HVAC who can address this or walk next door to another business & ask them "what are you doing to keep your business cool during the Summer" or "what kind of system are you using". You live in New Orleans & already know how the weather is going to be in the summer, so that's unacceptable. You had all year to get it together before the summer & didn't. It's been broke for over a month, that is ridiculous. read more

During a conference lunch break I "stumbled" across this place and so happy I did. They sat us immediately and placed in front of us quite possibly the best complementary chips/plantains and salsa Iv ever had. The salsa was fire and had a Smokey flavor and dare I say with a, "creole" twist. It was a thick salsa with a good burn that left you wanting more. The server was training but they were both super kind and suggested the popular items and were spot on. I went with the shrimp burrito. The presentation alone was a piece of art and I had to admire before digging in. I was impressed with the hidden jalapeños inside they added which gave the right kind of heat that I usually substitute hot sauce or salsa to add flavor. This burrito had it all with no extra dressings. The shrimp once again had a Smokey creole flavor that was a cool twist to the Mexican food. It's very modern inside yet comfy. Has a business lunch feel to it. Everyone seemed happy and service was speedy and delicious. Everyone in my party was just as happy with their food too and reflected my own sentiments. Can't recommend this place enough! read more

I came as part of my 7,000 mile 30 city food tour. Went to chef Ramsay's fish and chips and needed to creat my own personal pressure test amongst judges, lol. Bartender way super friendly for starters... Happened to arrive at happy hour and was excited to see a few a La carte items which was perfect for trying a few things. Chipotle adobo wings with chimichurri ranch. Had a really nice balance of flavors in the sauce...cook on the wing just solid. Plantain/tortilla chips and salsa basket was solid as well. While I found the carnitas taco quality but semi-forgettable in the pork's cook, I actually left with my favorite bite being the tempura cauliflower taco.

Johnny Sánchez - Delicious! - Mexican Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Johnny Sanchez was a place where we could go for consistent good food in the past, but unfortunately that's not the case anymore. We noticed it was pretty empty for a Saturday night but brushed it off since there were other things going on in the city. I got a smoke on the water cocktail which was enjoyable. We got the chips and salsa as a starter. It has got to be the blandest version of salsa I've gotten. In the past their salsa had some spice to it but this was almost tasteless. My tacos that followed were even more disappointing. Both were cold and the tempura fried cauliflower that I've enjoyed in the past was now a gummy coated piece of cauliflower. The meatball taco had good flavor but was cold. The shining star for our meal was the itty bitty cup of street corn we got as a side. From what I remember it used to be a larger side that could be shared. Go for the ambiance, cocktails and street corn, but skip the rest. read more
