The 245-seat restaurant is adorned in shades of green – Emeril’s signature color – wood accents and ornate Portuguese tiles. A painting of a rooster, a national Portuguese symbol of good luck, greets guests at the entrance. Once inside, a jamon bar with countertop service and tile-clad DJ booth are focal points of the space.

Add some real spice to your life! Superior Grill has been rated consistently as one of Louisiana’s best Mexican restaurants since 1983 when our first establishment opened in Shreveport. Our New Orleans location opened in 1997 and has become a landmark in fine quality foods with a festive Mexican atmosphere. Superior’s authentic Tex-Mex food is made from scratch every day with only the freshest ingredients. Our tortillas are hand-rolled with care all day long. For added flavor, all of our meats are cooked over a mesquite grill. We are proud of what we make and how we prepare it. Superior Grill is “the place to be” for happy hour, birthdays, office parties, and large groups. In addition to our festive indoor dining room, we offer a memorable outdoor dining experience on our landscaped patio featuring beautiful flowers and one of the best views of St. Charles Avenue.

What a wonderful experience! The food was delicious and our waiter Eddie was phenomenal. He was so knowledgeable of the history of the restaurant and eloquently shared it with us throughout our experience. Our experience was so amazing that we immediately booked another reservation while still there.

The moment you step into this culinary gem, you're transported to the vibrant crossroads of Israeli and Mediterranean cuisine in the heart of New Orleans. The combination of hummus and fried chicken here is nothing short of exceptional – silky smooth with a perfect balance of tahini and lemon, creating a velvety canvas for the other dishes then chicken is added expertly seasoned with aromatic Middle Eastern spices, remains remarkably tender and juicy, paying homage to time-honored cooking traditions. In a city renowned for its culinary diversity, this establishment stands out as an authentic beacon of Israeli-Mediterranean excellence, offering a dining experience that feels both sophisticated and warmly familiar.
