    The atmosphere was excellent and tacos were perfectly cooked. Only reason for four stars is the mexican churro desert was extremely overcooked. Other than that i would go again!

    Style over substance The atmosphere of this restaurant is great - colorful and full of energy. However, it seems like this is the only restaurant in New Orleans that will sing you happy birthday. We counted 9 times the staff sang happy birthday to various guests during the 90 minutes we were there. It was distracting and exhausting. The food was fine and the service was sporadic.

    Management needs to understand that it is not ok to ask a party if they can leave after paying a check and leaving tip. Also, Pollo Loco chicken was undercooked

    Atmosphere and energy was amazing. Drinks were very very watered down. I would go back but wouldn’t buy any 18 dollar cocktails.

    This place was amazing. It was absolutely the most delicious food. The ambience and all of the decor is out of this world. It is worth even just getting a drink at if you aren’t hungry. The Barbacoa tacos, the Birria tacos were to die for.
