Tacos Del Cartel

Really disappointed after wanting to try this place for so long. Was finally in Metairie and decided to stop in on a Taco Tuesday. Had to sit at the bar, which was no issue. However, the appetizers were brought out wrong. The cartelote (corn) really had minimal flavoring. Our entrees were brought out wrong and 20 minutes apart from each other. After we receive the second entree, we were still missing some sides. The birria tacos were decent, however the chile guajilo broth tasted as if it had been sitting all day. Only giving 3 stars because the bartender was great, the place was beautifully decorated and a vice

I was very surprised that this evening in particular I found a parking spot and "NO wait time" as I entered this spot. I was immediately recognized and seated with a while container of water while I wait to order.I also had the complimentary chips and salsa too.I sat at the bar because I noticed even though there were barely any cars many folks ubered over here. So this spot stays packed as it seems.I got the barbie margarita(frozen in a cute pouch) and salsa and chips my way around admiring the scenery. This spot is a vibe! It's really cute in here! Decorated nicely too!The Birria tacos were so good. I love Dipping them in the side bowl of broth they gave.Overall this is a cute photo worthy top spot!

This cute little restaurant was just what we needed after a fun weekend in New Orleans! The decor is picture worthy in the restaurant and even the restrooms. We had a friendly attentive server. I had birria tacos on the brunch menu and they were absolutely delicious and flavorful. The chips and salsa were good, chips are thick and crispy. I recommend.

Definitely my go to spot for birria tacos they are full of flavor, cheesy and the consume is delicious. I love their inside dining area so cute picture worthy; however, this time I went through the drive through. The service was fast and my food as still hot after getting home. Also decided to get a frozen strawberry margarita. Delicious and definitely not weak!

Was recently on a visit in LA and my friend brought me here. The exterior, (pink design) threw me off, but should be an actual hint as to how eclectic and fun the interior is. As soon as I set foot in the door, I immediately had a grin from ear to ear. From the amazing stain-glass (behind the bar,) the painted mural, the curio cabinets in the back...there is so much to take in.We order the "frozen drink of the day," which was a spicy, mango, margarita. It was the perfect texture (so you could actually get a drink out of the straw,) unlike places that put in so much ice, that you can't even drink out of the straw. The spice was a slow after-kick at the back of the tongue, like a tingle. I will definitely order this next time, too.Luckily, I was not there alone...because the order of guacamole was extremely generous. There must have been at least 9+ avocados in there and the fresh pico de gallo was placed on top (not mixed in, like some other places do, in order to hide that it is not so fresh.) I think that this might be the best guacamole I've ever had at a restaurant.The only reason for not giving 5 stars, is because our waitress was rushing us to order, (looking at her watch) and stopped by twice in 5 minutes or less to see if we were "ready YET." Then the elderly woman (2 tables down) asked for assistance getting out from behind the table, (she had a walker and the table was too heavy to push out of the way.) The waitress seemed exasperated by the request and almost seemed happy to see the patron leave.A great place for drinks, food and atmosphere, though.

The ONLY place I'll get birria tacos! Simply the best. The other menu items aren't bad either. I can't believe I haven't reviewed them sooner, but this is a good place to get Americanized Mexican food. Cute decor, good drinks, nice vibes-- a recipe for success!

Andy was an amazing server. The chicken tortilla soup is the best I have ever had. The guacamole is so fresh and delicious. By far the best Mexican restaurant in the city!

Barbie and other pop ups. I think there's a Tulum experience now. I recommend the margaritas and tacos. Love the chicken and steak is so good.

I've passed by here well over a hundred times, so I FINALLY dropped in. Hubby and I noticed that the place is beautiful and has a nice vibe. It was fairly quiet because there weren't many patrons. To start, we have the queso, which was great. I also had the corn but it had way too much mayo for me. I didn't eat the whole thing. I had a sangria margarita, and it was good and strong. Loved it!For dinner, my husband had a big ass burrito. He thought it was really delicious. I opted for the tofu tacos. I didn't like it at all. I usually like tofu IF it is cooked nicely. This was just stewed tofu in a spicy marinade. Definitely won't get this again. The little one had a quesadilla which was cooked nicely. Compared to other places, this was definitely a 3, but the drink and server took it to a 4. I can't remember her name, but she was fabulous!

The food was good but it was not communicated to my group that the water was not free. Also here a group of 4 is considered a party(instead of the usual 6) so we had to automatically pay a 22% gratuity. The atmosphere is very cool but my group left feeling fleeced by the way things were done and communicated.
