About the restaurant

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. Superior Grill New Orleans is one of four locations including Shreveport, Baton Rouge, and Birmingham.

We love Maypop. The food is delicious, the service is fantastic, and just overall it is a great spot for a special date night. They made us feel welcome! They also didn't even bat an eye at some dietary restrictions I have that have caused issues at other similar restaurants and went out of their way to make sure I was safe and cared for. Highly recommend this gem.

We visited this restaurant for our anniversary. The food and drinks were delicious. Our meals consisted of the red fish special, pork chop special, the pasta and a filet. Along with the tuna appetizer, chicken and andouille gumbo and creme brulee dessert and the chocolate dessert. The restaurant was packed and it was very loud, but our server was great. Food came out promptly. We only had to wait for drinks, but considering how busy they were, it was understandable. Next time we are in the Hammond area, we plan to dine again! Definitely worth the money!
