NolaNica

I love love LOVE NolaNica! Every time I go and get anything the food is amazing. Pollo Al Carbon/Grilled Chicken... the Bistec Sandwich.. the Naturales.. Plantains.. Everything is 10/10! If you're in the area, it's a must try. The staff is super kind, there is plenty of seating and the music is enjoyable too! Thank you!!

Love this place!! Food never disappoints and the team there are the best!! For anyone looking for good food, this is a must!

Let's get the most important part of the review out of the way, the food is great! The service... is NOT. Lengthy wait times, missing food items, frustrated cooks, miscommunication when calling in an order and disgruntled phone order takers. I asked if I could substitute for rice instead of rice and beans, they insisted that no modifications allowed (mind you, it doesn't say that anywhere in their menu). I informed the order taker of a bean allergy, she suggested not to order from here. I went there three times on three different days. Walked out the first two days and finally got service on the third. It just was not worth it. If you want similarly tasting food and WAY better service, trust me, skip this place and head over to Viva Nicaragua.

Their Nola Nica burger is a definite must have! Service is always quick and efficient. Such lively people. I may actually get some for lunch tomorrow lol.

Hard to find but worth the effort on every metric. One of my favorite spots in the metro area. One of the few I will travel to outside the city proper just to eat lunch at. Don't skimp on this spot. It's fantastic.

I was looking for a place for lunch near the New Orleans Airport and this place caught my eye because of all of the good reviews. I just had to check it out for myself. I am SO glad I did! I am obsessed!First of all, it is located very close and convenient to the airport and has plenty of parking and surprisingly a decent amount of seating.The space was very clean and everyone was doing their part to keep the restaurant safe with respect to COVID.Now, I went with my mom and we got there a little later in the day (2pm). They currently close at 3 and were out of some of the items on the menu so I definitely recommend getting there as early as possible.The menu has a great variety and I ended up going with the chicken taquitos. They were delicious and the rice that came with them was absolutely divine!! I could eat it everyday. My mom got their lunch special and I am still SO jealous because it looked incredible and I had major food envy. She couldn't eat it all in one sitting so we had to get her a to-go box. This was my first time trying Nicaraguan food and I was so glad I did. I definitely plan to stop in next time I'm in New Orleans. Literally everything about my experience was perfect. The staff were all so friendly and welcoming. They made us feel cared for and appreciated. And this entire experience cost less than $30 for two people before tip! You truly cannot beat this amazing restaurant!

We were in the New Orleans area last weekend, and decided to try NolaNico for the first time. It's not a large place, and it was pretty packed at lunch time. It looks like they are working to expand into the space right next to them, which should at least double their space, which based on how busy they were and how many "to go" orders were picked up while we were there, is a good thing.The staff were friendly and wanted to make sure that we were happy with our meal. They apologized because there wasn't an empty table, but I told them that we'd just try to "crash" one of the tables with what appeared to be a mother and daughter. She seemed happy that we didn't mind doing that. We asked to share a table with the ladies, and found that they were visiting from out of town as well. It turned out that the women were originally from Nicaragua, so we were able to get their input on the authenticity of the food. We enjoyed We decided to share the Fritanga and a Nacatamal. Everything was fresh made, so service wasn't immediate, but we don't mind waiting a little bit for good food. While we waited, we observed a number of other dishes go by, all of which looked and smelled delicious. Our food arrived, and the Nacatamal is HUGE. Not being sure of what to expect, we cut into it, and found a variety of meats and veggies. Each area of the Nacatamal had a different flavor because of the different items in each area of it. It's not like a regular tamale at all, but we thoroughly enjoyed it. The Fritanga gave us a taste of a wide variety of Nicaraguan foods. Everything was absolutely awesome and cooked to perfection. Our tablemates confirmed that the food was authentic and very well cooked. All in all, we were very pleased and will absolutely try them again when in the area. If you are near the New Orleans airport, it's just down the road and worth a stop!

The most delicious food and best customer service. I would come here everyday if I could.

Never gotten a meal there that wasn't good and the people working there from the owner Carlos to the waiters and wait staff just very good people. nice atmosphere. you can't go wrong. I highly recommend the Carny asada and their daily specials.....T.Quillen

Great food! Great staff. Always takes care of me and my clients. Best place to get lunch in the area.
