Las Maracas

This review is not about the food because I have eaten here many of times. The kitchen service / waitress service was about terrible. We managed to get a table right where you enter. We asked to move to the main dining but were told we couldn't because there was a private party of 30 coming. Waitress showed and took our drink order and queso blanco order. My drink came first followed by the queso and finally the second drink. It was all downhill from here. It took quite awhile for the waitress to get back with us. We placed a dine in order and to go order at the same time. Dine in order was two tacos, one flauta and a cup of enchilada soup. Checking the time we had been in there 1 1/2 hours with no food delivery. The table behind us was there about 15 minutes and had two tacos and something else. WTF. Finally the flauta came and we waited about another 10 minutes and decided to cancel the remainder of the order and pay for what we had. Absolutely ridiculous service. I will never sit in that front room again and never stay when there is a party of 10 or more. The kitchen definitely needs help and someone needs to track the orders. Unacceptable.

As for food it was ok , the avocado dip was good , but not in photo . The fajitas were ok , the meat was pre marinated but wasn't something I would order again. My wife had the burger and it was huge , it tasted like the meat needed seasoning but still very filling . Also we had the pork tamale with no sauce on it and it was actually pretty good.

This is a very casual spot and they have so much food to choose from. I've been here 3 times so far and everything I've gotten was really good. My favorite has been the Birria pizza. The margaritas are HUGE and they are really good.

I've had chicken tortilla soup many times at other places, but this was the best I've ever had. Seasoned, savory and tangy with delicious shredded chicken, creamy avocado slices, crispy tortilla strips with cheese & chopped tomatoes/onions. We also tried the birria tacos and it was also the best I've ever had. Outstanding meal all-around.

I just visited this place on Friday. It's a hidden jewel. I would never think to go to this area. I found out about it from someone who used to bartend here. The food is good, service is quick, and the margaritas are some of the best I've had. I love introducing friends to this place to see their expression. Looks can be deceiving. The outside isn't the most inviting but the food and experience are with it.

I wish that there were more stars! From the clean, warm, welcoming atmosphere, to the customer service, it's just fantastic. And then there's the food!!! Excellent! Fresh ingredients and large portions. Laila was our server and she truly went above and beyond. I definitely recommend this place!!!

What really drew my in was driving down the side street and thinking I wonder what this place is like inside. Then I saw a bunch of Latin guys in pickup trucks. Went and ate there and it was fire. Don't actually know what I wanted so I used "the baby menu" (Yelp) to decide. Got a tamale, a burrito and a plate that looked Mexican/Greek. It was awesome. Will definitely go again. There are all kinds of hidden gems in this area. On the corner of Peters rd and wb expy there is a building that doesn't look like much but is dazzling inside!

Great food but our service wasn't too good. https://blainerestaurantreport.com/2024/10/14/las-maracas-westwego-la-report-753/

Ive been there a few times now and the food has been excellent every time.Overall the service has been good and the servers have been friendly and helpful. The overall experience is laid back and i never feel rushed. I try to go there a couple of times a month

First, 3 miles from my house, my out of town friends they love the place I eat there a lot the staff know me and my husband food is always great. Definitely what I'm my favorite restaurants. I feel very comfortable when I'm there.
