- LLeslievipNew Orleans / Louisiana •69 reviews5.0Dined 6 days agoWe like the whole layout and ambience of this. Desi’s is better than the Covington one although we did like that restaurant. Kendra and Allysa did a great job and very attentive - but as always, this restaurant displays excellent teamwork in all the restaurants. Couldn’t tell you what was different as the steak eater said that it was the best steak that they had ever had and they have had steak all over town and every steakhouse. The steak nachos were excellent and more than enough to share for a table.. yellow Fin tuna interesting presentation but very good! All in all, we are happy that they have the steakhouse there now. I will see that it was very busy very early, so they clearly already have a following.More infoDesi Vega's Steakhouse - MandevillePrice: Very Expensive• Steak• Covington•4.8

Discover Northshore
Many of the restaurants in the Northshore region of New Orleans are what you might call "no frills." Here, it's all about good food and good times. The lack of bells and whistles doesn't mean a lack of choices, though. Whether you're in the mood for classic comfort dishes, fresh seafood, Louisiana Cajun, or something else entirely, you're sure to find it here. Grab some beignets for breakfast before you head out on your day. Does a po'boy sound interesting? Try one for lunch. For dinner, it's time for some gumbo or jambalaya. Is it Monday? That means red beans and rice, of course.
