Hannah A. • May 22, 2017One of the most authentic places for Mediterranean food in New Orleans.

Paola M. • March 12, 2017Margs are too sweet and leave a syrupy sugary coat in your mouth. Food is not authentic or even close to Tex-mex. Overrated. Sadly no Mexico authenticity here. So many better places.

Ange M. • January 26, 2014Get the Fresh Fish St. Peter - it is not on the menu, but it is fantastic! Also the best Shrimp Creole in town. This is the place to come for authentic recipes.

Paul S. • October 24, 2014The food is amazing the owners are sweet hearts and the place is as authentic as it gets. Waffles with Bree and blueberries is delicious. The biscuits and gravy is amazing and the atmosphere is cool.

Chris P. • June 25, 2011Coolest place to stay in the Quarter. Great old building, the rooms have exposed brick, very authentic. Also far enough from Bourbon that you can get dome sleep, but close enough to have a blast!

Gabriel H. • September 26, 2015Great place for an authentic southern breakfast for less than $10.

Laila H. • April 15, 2017The place is authentic. It is nice yet it doesn't have the luxurious way of service. Food is ok.

Kathe A. • June 24, 2016Great music, more authentic feel than most places on Bourbon Street

Alex L. • July 28, 2014This is the FIRST place to eat once you land in New Orleans. Oysters, authentic food, amazing cocktails (happy hour + pro move), Brian the bartender and Courtney the hostess will hook you up!

Katie A. • January 29, 2015Oh. My. God. This place is fucking delicious. When they say authentic Mexican, they mean it. Don't be deceived by the look of it, just eat the food. Tortillas, chips, and flan all made in-house.

Marcelius F. • November 6, 2015The taste place is perfect if you want to try the dishes Nola is recognised for. Love how local and authentic it is!

Ian F. • September 26, 2013This place is terrible - do not buy anything here as the owner has changed. Since the change, this place cannot be trusted to provide authentic items.
