    Smoked pork nachos
    Sophia H.

    ​What a great first visit to this restaurant! We arrived around 8 pm and were seated after a short wait. The decorations were beautiful, and they really made the place feel welcoming. ​For my meal, I ordered the smoked pork nachos, and they were absolutely incredible--easily the highlight of the night. The food was delicious and definitely worth the trip. ​Our waiter was very nice and kept apologizing for a few issues, like a slow handheld computer for payments, but it was completely understandable. They were very sweet and handled it well. The only real inconvenience was the poor cell signal, which I'm guessing is because it's so close to the train tracks. ​Despite the small hiccups, the delicious food and wonderful service made it a fantastic evening. I'll be back for those nachos for sure!

    This place did a great job with the huge space they have. They have an entire backyard perfect for the kiddos to play in. And this restaurant is HUGE. Definitely good for groups and parties. It is directly behind the Dollar Tree and Planet Fitness and along the train tracks. Which, oddly enough, I never heard the train once while we dinned here; they must have really good inulation. I came here for happy hour about a month ago. The HH is at the bar only and from 3 to 6 Monday through Friday. I ordered the smoked pork nachos which were on $9 and it was pretty tasty. These are the people from Central City BBQ. I do kind of wish some of the items on their CC menu were on this menu, like the boudin, but I realize it is supposed to be a different restaurant. The service was great and the restaurant was clean. I will probably be back for more happy hour fun times.

    Skinny margarita.

    Glad we came a second time since opening. Skinny margaritas was a definite plus. Jose Quervo, Agave, Lime juice with a salted rim.

    Steak tacos
    Cassie M.

    My first time trying this place and I was not impressed. The building is new and very clean. Our server was friendly, but the food just really missed the mark for me. I didn't like the queso at all.. it had what tasted like a curry spice blend in it that I did not enjoy. The salsa was pretty tasty and nice and spicy but the beans and rice were pretty bland. I had a steak taco that was just ok.. the meat had a good smoky flavor but it was chopped up very small. The skinny Marg just fell short for me too. I really wanted to like this place :(

    Steak fajitas and chicken enchiladas
    Tori M.

    Was so excited to try this place out but was disappointed with the our experience. They def have some kinks to work out. Let's start with the good. Friendly hosts, and steak fajita was great! Usually I think fajitas are too dry but the meat on this was delightful. The negatives though: 1. I wasn't wowed with my chicken enchiladas. The red sauce was a little too smoky and overpowered the taste for the whole dish. 2. Out server. I don't want to call her out by name because she's young and inexperienced. But she could definitely benefit from some extra shadowing/training. I ordered chicken enchiladas and was brought a chicken quesadilla. Told the food runner and he went right back. The server came over to ask me what I ordered like she was hearing it for the first time. She never apologized once. Just "okay" and walked away. We had to specifically ask for refills on our drinks. We were one of 4 tables in the restaurant with three servers, so it wasn't that she was too busy. Just didn't seem like she wanted to be there? Long story short: I'll be back a few months from now once they work out a few things. Great potential here!

    First time here and the service was nice. The restaurant is decorated pretty. I had the frozen lemonade 10/10 and the brisket sandwich with fries 7/10. I would come back.

    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.

    Taco Tuesday and I'm on a hunt for a good taco deal. I pass this place all the time and decided to…read moregive it a try. Decided to sit at the bar so I can get in and out quickly and have a little margarita. My server/bartender wasn't very attentive at all. I had to get his attention a few times for service because he was in his whole the whole time. I ordered a margarita that to me was okay, but it tasted much better after I asked to have a flavor added to it. I think it was hibiscus. I only got 2 tacos. The fish and shrimp. The fish was a little bland for my taste but the sauces and add ons saved it. This was an okay experience, I'm writing this place off. I plan to give them another shot and try some of their other menu items.

Once I ordered, the food and drinks came out quickly. The 'unlimited' mimosas actually cap at 5, which is fine, but the mix they use cheapens the drink, and the glasses weren't the cleanest. The birria and grits were good (about a 7/10), though I think the pre-shredded Mexican blend cheese on top took away from the dish. A traditional white cheese would have worked better. The birria tacos were tasty, though. The bathrooms could use attention as there were no paper towels, which makes me wonder what employees do after washing their hands. Overall, it was a good experience and definitely cost-efficient. With a few tweaks to the drinks and presentation, this place could easily go from a 3-star to a 4- or 5-star brunch spot. I'll be back to try the tacos and check out the unlimited margaritas.

I still love their churros and other menu items but this was not for me. If they improve the recipe I might try it again but for $8 it was not worth the buy.
