El Rinconcito

The kitchen was out of a lot of things but probably because it's the Saturday before xmas. I settled for pastor and barbacoa tacos. The pastor were decent but the barbacoa was fantastic! Thry were perfect Mexican street taco size served with only chopped white onion and cilantro, just the way they should be. They also have a fantastic jalapeño salsa that I wanted to drink. My friend got the beef soup and it was great with the addition of some squeezed limes and the jalapeño salsa. The atmosphere was more belonging to a bar and there were only three tables. The music was also blaring in the small room so we had to yell at each other. I'll definitely be back to try some chorizo and lengua tacos 😋

Overall best Mexican place in NOLA!..The older lady at the bar was so welcoming, even after the kitchen had closed she offered to restart it and cook us a meal. Great wings and even better drinks. Highly recommend checking this place out! Made my whole group feel like we were part of their family was able to choose music on the beatbox and dance the night away. 10/10 will be sure to stop by again on my next trip to New Orleans !

Moved down from Chicago a year ago and hadn't found a good enough replacement for the mexican restaurants up there, until now. Except for the red salsa being kinda mediocre, this place is a godsend for someone from the north looking for a great burrito. Definitely gonna be ordering from here frequently.
