2 words: Crazy Javier!!! This is what I always order when I stop in...This was my first visit to the Baton Rouge location. I usually eat at the Shreveport, LA location and like it better but I was talked into stopping in for lunch at the Baton Rouge location because I was told they had brisket tacos at the BR location and I am a sucker for brisket tacos!!! See my first 4 words of this review!!! I was underwhelmed by the brisket tacos in comparison to the ones that have made me fall in love from Cantina Laredo in Shreveport, LA and Mia's in Dallas, TX!!! So if you stop in go with the Crazy Javier...from what I know it is the signature steak dish for Superior and I have never had a bad one!!! The hot sauce/salsa was outstanding as I expected and the word has always been the margaritas are KICK ASS!!! I don't know cause I am a cerveza man myself when dining at Superior which leads me to another downer on the Baton Rouge location...They had NO Sol or Pacifico!!!! I was floored..this is freakin' Baton Rouge, the state capital!!! They can't let the Shreveport, LA location have a better cerveza selection can they? Why yes, yes they can!!! I am in no way down on this place and will eat there again but it's the little things that could have made my initial visit better... read more

Honestly this place likes really cool and promising but overall I was very disappointed. I ordered the tacos and my friend ordered the enchiladas, it was not exactly cheap on either so you'd assume the food was going to be above par. The chips they put out on the table had a nice crisp but were not salted and were just very bland, the salsa was good but again more bland than you would expect from a traditional Mexican place. Now the tacos and the enchiladas were extremely disappointing. The tortillas on both were very undercooked, and both dishes honestly lacked flavor. The brisket tacos were honestly unrecognizable in taste I wasn't sure if it was pork, or brisket cause I honestly couldn't even taste the meat, they were deconstructed, which is fine but what they gave me to put in the tacos was jalapeños cilantro and avocado... that's it. Rice and beans were on the side, the rice was very chewy and I honestly didn't even wanna touch the beans after everything else. The enchilada tasted like they threw some jarred preggo on top of it and threw on some cheese, the steak on the inside was the only thing seasoned even somewhat out of this whole meal, but even that was a huge disappointment. The other thing that bugged me out was that they gave us waters with the straws in them (not covered or sealed straws just opened straws in the water when they arrived) which as I said concerns me for health reasons above all else. Personally I wouldn't come here again (even though I don't live in the state) and I was really just overall bummed. read more

this place has really gone down hill. I should have known by how plane in bed the case it was that the food would be bad. I ordered this for shrimp and it was the show was completely on which was fajitas so it's bad to try to have to take out the time to remove the show in order to eat shrimp. The staff were friendly as usual but I won't be going back. I just wish they would've kept the same quality that they had before the pandemic. I haven't been here in about two years so I just assumed quality was the same but it's not. read more

I come here when forced, but never for fun. The drinks are super expensive for the watered down tequila you get ($14 for a margarita). And the drinks get weaker the more busy they get. The food is always sub par at best, and never worth the jacked up proce. How this place remains so popular I have no idea. Ive been to the NOLA, Highland, and Government locations and feel the same about all of them. Also, if you go on a day when they have a band, dont bother trying to have a conversation. read more

Superior Grill - Chicken enchiladas - Mexican Near Me - Baton Rouge, Louisiana

See all

First, I called to see what the wait time was. I could hear the waiter or manager in the back ground saying 45 mins to an hour, which the hostess then proceeded to lie and tell me it would be 20 minutes. We finally get there and the hostess was rude and uninterested and unprofessional. I had never been to Superior before, but had heard great things from so many people that I decided to give it a shot. We get a table after 45 mins, and the waiter was rude as well. Messed up my order, and the margarita was one of, if not the worst I've ever had. I ended up only drinking a few sips and gave up. It's the same drink I order anywhere else, and I've never had it as bad as there, which was shocking to me considering whenever people praise this place, it's always because the margaritas are supposedly the best they've ever had. I left disappointed and annoyed at the lack of customer service and unprofessionalism, and have no plans of returning in the future, which is sad because I had such high hopes. read more

When I request just a small cup of queso, despite the waiter's best effort, the manager declared it literally impossible to get queso unless of course you order the small $8.50 bowl of it. I thought the $1 extra I paid for queso on my enchilada would be enough but they barely put enough to cover them. Ridiculous for what you're paying. Stingy stingy. And very average for a very high price. I'd drive a little further and find anywhere else to get Mexican food if you're in the area. I've been coming here on and off for years. The food has always been overpriced for being as average as it is, I just dealt with it because the margaritas are just so damn good. Not anymore, see ya later superior. read more

The food here is outstanding. The prices are extremely high for typical Mexican fare - burritos, beans, rice, etc. But the taste is what makes the expense worth it. We arrived for an early lunch at 11am Friday. The waitress was very forgiving of our need for more time and came back often to check on us until we could make a decision. The queso here is up there in my top five for best queso ever - thick, with a great combination of flavors. I came in wanting shrimp fajitas, but they don't offer them on the lunch menu, and the dinner prices are out of this world. Then I looked for the combo fajitas and they were about $30... which would be great if I thought there was a chance I could eat it all in the same week! Instead, I ordered the 1/2 sized crawfish quesadilla - and I will never regret that decision!! Amazing taste and filled with tiny little crawfish tails - came with sour cream, guac, lettuce, and tomatoes, and the leftovers heated up nicely in the toaster oven. My husband ordered the Superior Burrito with steak. He offered me a bite and it melted in my mouth! The steak was incredibly rich and flavorful. The plate itself was different than what he was expecting, "this is the wettest burrito I've ever had," meaning he had to eat it with a fork and knife instead of picking it up... but he had zero complaints about the taste. read more

Absolutely amazing!!! The was really nice looking outside and inside. We got seated right away and the food was great! It was very quick and the waiter was very good as well. Desert was delicious. I would definitely visit this place again and again read more

Shocked at high bill. Food is good, but inflated prices are a turn off. It's difficult to enjoy the small portions for the price.

Two words, brisket tacos. One of the closest to authentic Mexican food restaurants in Baton Rouge. Love it here, sometimes there's live music, the food is great, drinks are great and service is nice too. They recently opened another location so you can tell it's booming. 5/5 would recommend to a taco lover. read more

Great food, Excellent people and attention. Nice salads! Bravo! read more

Superior Grill - Salmon Salad - Mexican Near Me - Baton Rouge, Louisiana

Had a company lunch so this was a big table. The wait staff was wonderful! I personally ordered fajita, half chicken and steak. The steak was very fatty and the chicken and onions were cut way to big for a fajita. The Strawberry Margarita was very weak. read more

One of my absolute favorite restaurants! Always packed because the food is amazing! It's a little pricier but the food and service are definitely worth it. Highly recommend if you're looking for good Mexican food! read more

Best Mexican food in Baton Rouge by far. Just ate here recently and the food is great. The margaritas are voted the best in Baton Rouge and I can definitely agree. Also Happy Hour is super popular! You can get a large margarita for the price of a small. I had the Ceviche which is some of the way I've had. read more

Superior Grill - Large Margarita! - Mexican Near Me - Baton Rouge, Louisiana

Eat here often and order takeout often for years. Food is consistently good. My daughter told me to give them 5 star review haha

Great setting & service, bit the dictionary in the kitchen has the spice page missing entirely, the only extra sauce is in commercial shake jars. Too bland, too bad, so long. read more

This is the one of the best Mexican restaurants in Baton Rouge ! Not just because of the food, but for the atmosphere and service. The menu is pretty standard Mexican. But what makes Superior stand out are the seafood entrees. When you order shrimp fajitas or shrimp enchiladas you won't end up with just a handful of scrawny shrimps. All of the seafood and fish is very fresh and you get a generous helping. Speaking of enchiladas, I'd say that's the must get on the menu. I tried the tacos, tamales, and tostadas. All are very good, but the enchiladas stand out because of their flavor. There are several different kinds of sauces and all the choices are loaded with an amazing cheese that melts so smooth it becomes almost like a sauce. The tortilla chips are made in house, which you can tell from their crispiness and light flavor. The salsa is pretty good, but I wish there was a spicier option. I asked for a spicier sauce to put on my food and they said no they don't carry any! :( If you come for the lunch it's a pretty laid back crowd. But the restaurant gets packed at night. I'd say it's a great place just about any crowd( kids, date, friends). However, I wouldn't bring the kids too late though because there's live music and drink specials.. and with that can come a few drunks! read more

Food was very tasty, and there are a lot of "fun" things for the eyes to take in. It's beyond loud on a weekend night, and you are seated very close to other tables, which doesn't help. There was also live music which made it almost impossible for our party of 6 to carry a conversation without yelling. The "large" margaritas, while tasty, are $16 and come in a styrofoam cup that didn't feel very large, which I thought was a little ridiculous. For that price, I should get a real glass. Overall a fun place with decent food, but expect to overpay and to yell the entire time. read more

One of my favorite places in Baton Rouge. It's a bit pricey but well worth it. They have a large variety of Mexican food that appeals to many different people. The atmosphere is great here and the food is just as good. They have great chips and salsa and it's a fun place on Thursday nights. One of the top Mexican restaurants in town. read more

I've been to Superior Grill probably about 8-10 times now and I'm glad I waited to review it, because my first experience wasn't very good but every time after that I had a great experience! The first time I went, I went kind of late and the place was pretty empty. I think it was a Monday or Tuesday night. The service was super slow, my food came out cold, and we waited forever for the check. Every experience of mine since then has been great though! I've had take-out from here for lunch numerous times and the food travels very well. I think they even give you bigger portions when you get it to go. My favorite is the fish tacos. They're grilled, not fried! The rice is also really tasty, and I love the spicy white cream sauce that comes with the fish tacos. The margaritas are decent and the queso is delicious! read more

I ate at Superior on Sunday after I got off of work. We had a few friends that gathered there for food and drinks. I don't usually have a problem with added gratuity but after I got my bill, it was obvious that the policy was being abused. We had several drinks, appetizers, and entrees. My bill before gratuity was over $160 and after, it was close to $200. My water was never refilled, and our server never asked if we wanted or needed anything. read more

Superior Grill - You should never be forced to pay gratuity if the service was not worth that amount!!! - Mexican Near Me - Baton Rouge, Louisiana

If it's great Mexican food that you're looking for, don't come here. The atmosphere is wonderful. The live music in the evenings (Thursday-Saturday) is phenomenal, especially on Thursdays. The food is mediocre. Is it edible yes, but it's an American version of Mexican food. The margaritas however are. Their prices are going up so if you don't want to kill your wallet on just one drink get there for happy hour between 4:30 and 6:30 and try one. For great Mexican food try Mestizo's or Ninfa's. Also, if you have plans to go somewhere important after dinner, choose another restaurant. You'll leave here smelling like grilled oni read more

Made it here with some co-workers after work. It's a decent Mexican restaurant. They had bottles of several types of Mexican beers...the first one I had was one I hadn't heard of before, and my second was a Modelo dark (both with huge chunks of lime)---muy bueno! As for the eats...I'm a bit lame, but the thing which caught my eye over everything...a "Mexican sandwich". Not many Mexican restaurants offer this option---you have to go to one of your finer Taco Trucks to get one. What am I talking about, you gringos??? A torta, of course! Yeah, when the server came to me I said I wanted a beef torta, and he was, "huh?". Then he caught himself, "oh, a Mexican Sandwich". Yes, my son. :) This torta was very rich (maybe a little too rich, but in a good way). It was decent and HUGE. I ended up only eating half and saving the rest for lunch the next day. Mexican Sandwich....Mmmmm. read more

There's a reason Superior Grill is a fave in BR; the food is phenomenal and service is excellent too...not to mention their famous margaritas ;) I wanted to try everything on the menu but opted to try something new. I ordered the Mesquite chicken salad and my husband the taco salad. Both around $10.95 on the lunch menu, but truly we could have split one because portion size was huge. My 5 y/o wanted soup, so I got her the chicken tortilla soup. It came with soft tacos, which I typically prefer crunchy in the soup but she didn't complain. It was also loaded with veggies including huge chunks of avocado, which she did complain about but still sipped up the delicious broth while I gobbled up the delicious chunks of veggies :) I didn't get to try their brunch menu, so I'll be heading back for more hopefully soon ;) read more

I never take time to write reviews , S-Grill was Inferior Grill , I ordered the Shrimp Fajitas , what a joke , skimpy on the shrimp and they were in the shell , hard to peel , they should call the dish a mound of half cooked onions with a greenhouse tomato slice with some below average lettuce , guac. , sour cream , rice and canned beans on the side , oh , some bell peppers not cooked , what a JOKE of a dish for over 20 bucks , my friend order the quesadeas ( sorry , don't spell well ) again. very average , nothing special , stick with the basics at SG , water , beer , chips , Very disappointed read more

It may not be saying much, but it is the best Mexican Baton Rouge has to offer. Prices are a little bit more expensive than other Mexican restaurants in BR...but the portions are also slightly bigger. Atmosphere is fun especially back when Nick Saban (gasp) used to do his radio show here on Wednesdays...and drinks are strong. For overall package for Mexican, Superior's the best in BR. read more

We went in a dead time - inbetween lunch and dinner. Food came out very fast, server forgot our order of guacamole. Server also forgot place settings. Server was fast getting food, and a late drink order, as well as the bill. Food was alright. Overpriced for what you get in my opinion. Might go back, might not. I'll probably try other Mexican options in BR. read more

Overpriced and underwhelming. The Queso was really good and creamy. Our waiter was attentive although he did get our bills wrong(no big deal). The food was just ok. I have had better tacos and fajitas. Some places you can't wait to go back. This was not one of those places. read more

My first experience with Superior Grill was in Shreveport, so I was excited to try Superior Grill in Baton Rouge when I was lost down on Government one day. I have tried this restaurant a couple of times, and each time I still find myself a little disappointed. The food is never really bad, it just isn't particularly good. I went with a friend last night, and I guess I wasn't too disappointed with the Chicken Quesadilla. It was good, but for what I paid, it should have been twice the size. The real reason to go to Superior is the margarita. They are delicious, but be warned that they are a bit strong. So, while I enjoy a nice, strong margarita, I also advocate driving safely. The service is typically slow, and I have never figured out why. Even when it is dead, it still takes forever to get your drinks and food. The wait-staff is friendly, but maybe they are always short-staffed. Overall, I would just go if you enjoy a good margarita and have a designated driver, or time to be sure you are safe to drive. read more

This place is amazing!! By far the most popular restaurant in Baton Rouge on Sunday afternoons. The food is fresh and flavorful, and the servers are so friendly and accommodating. I like that there's something for everyone to enjoy on the menu, and I like the ambiance. You feel so welcomed upon arrival as well. I went for a private event and enjoyed a delicious buffet with Mexican breakfast and lunch offerings. The frozen mimosas were so amazing that my grandmother asked for a to-go cup full of it. Speaking of cups, big props for the styrofoam to-go cups. No one likes a sweaty, condensation-ladden cup in the summer. Overall, if I lived in the area, I'd be here at least twice a week. Excellent experience! read more

Such a shame to write this review but it must be done. A vegetable quesadilla and 1 taco and chips and queso $35? Okay that's problem 1!!! Secondly, the beef taco was so dry I choked on the beef. The taco was more than dry, it was lacking condiments to make it worth however much a single taco costs. The queso was good, that was all. Over priced food is never a go to place for me. I won't return read more

I seriously am floored with all the hype this place gets. The service and atmosphere are the only good things. Other than that, the margaritas are way too strong and lack flavor. I know it seems weird to complain about a drink being too strong. Don't get me wrong, I like a strong margarita, but I also like a good flavor to it. It doesn't even have a tequila strong taste, it's all of the everclear they put in them. Also, the chips and salsa are below mediocre quality. Extremely overpriced. I got a shrimp salad with nothing special about it. Shrimp, avocado, corn and dressing on top of salad. $20. $20 for a shrimp salad for lunch. Their margaritas are also overpriced. The only reason I ever go here is when I'm with large groups that choose to go. read more

I love Superior Grill. My favorite is the original location in Shreveport. This location is nice, but not as lively. However, I did go for lunch. The server was friendly, but didn't speak good English. The food was good, but it came out within 10 minutes of ordering so we really couldn't even enjoy the chips or salsa. It felt like fast food service. The newer location off of Highland has a much better atmosphere imo. read more

Sooo went there for my friends birthday. Love the covered patio seating and the bar. Drinks are great- margaritas to be specific. They are strong so it's worth 13$. Sangria margarita is my favorite. We had a big group and I pretty much finished my large margarita before I even got my guacamole... Which wasn't all too great. Service I think is was disappointed me most. And the food isn't worth bad service. I would go back for a second chance but with a smaller group to see if that works out. read more

We were in Baton Rouge and was told this was the "spot" to eat at. Husband and I ordered the fajitas although they were good, definitely didn't get our monies worth. Very small portion along with slow serve. read more

Superior Grill - Good food and drinks! A little pricey for what it is, we would go back if back in Baton Rouge. - Mexican Near Me - Baton Rouge, Louisiana

We got food poisoning on Father's Day after eating here for dinner. Manager was really rude when I called just to inform them so it wasn't sold again. We won't be going back. read more

My 3rd time to go. Not the most authentic Mexican food in the world, but it's good food at a reasonable price and the portions are huge! Went on a game day so there was pretty much standing room only. Sat in the bar area. Live band in the next room making conversation near impossible. Staff was helpful and friendly. read more

I am not sure what the hype is....this place was very mediocre. the margaritas were not awesome, the food was just okay. I eat almost anything and this was hit something that I would be like 'omg we gotta go to this place'. read more

I think some of you fellow yelpers are being a bit harsh when it comes to Superior. Yes, it may not live up to its name, but it is my first choice for mexi in BR bc of the "overall" category..... meaning: decent mexican, huge frozen margs (you can take them with you), and a fun atmosphere... YES, there may be a better tex-mex restaurant in BR, but where it lacks, Superior delivers. and YES, on fridays it may be a breeding ground for frat stars that are just tryin to get drunk enough before making their way to bogies(as is serranos)... but hey, its BR (a college town)... what do you expect? Cant go wrong with the fajitas... def not an INferior choice.... read more

I was met with shock and surprise when I announced that after 2 years in BR that I had never been to Superior Grill. I had heard the buzz around town so when a job interview in the neighborhood went into lunch and everyone insisted that I simply MUST try it...away we went. This place is HUGE. Not a good sign in my book but most Mexican is not all that complicated so I wasn't too worried. The chips and salsa were yummy and at our tiny table for four we each had our own basket and salsa...which pretty much left little room for any beverages. We had to ask them to take our waters backs so we could chip and dip without balancing things on our knees. I ordered tacos because I panic ordered and they were you know, tacos. Pretty good but not worthy of the praise lauded on this joint by everyone. Everyone else got this massive steak fajita thing that again...took up more table than table but seemed to look pretty good. I will write another review once I return and have these margaritas everyone goes on about. I can always be swayed by tequila so check back for more star wattage post booze. At this point though, eh..it was pretty good but I'd still rather go to Bistro Byronz across the street or even Fleur de Lis...bearing in mind of course that both of those places have had the good fortune to get me nicely drunk so I'll give Superior the same shake they got and get back to you. read more
