I haven't had anything bad here. The damn good nachos are to die for! Love the seared tuna salad, Tuna ceviche tacos, mussels.....I could go on & on. Excellent margaritas, painkillers & Bloody Mary.

The pain killer is a New Orleans must have drink. All the tacos are 5 stars. I wouldn't futz w/ the dessert here. Everything else is crackishly good and you will want to eat here everyday.

The crab melt and the b's brisket melt with chimichurri are so amazing. The pineapple mojito is wonderful. I would come here agin and again. Ask for Jennifer she was our waitress and she was friendly

Cranebark beer really good. You have to try the calamari. Half chicken with beans and mango rice good. Chicken super tender and delicious. Rice too sweet for my taste. 1st time visiting New Orleans.

One of the most unique menus in New Orleans! Sweet Potato Conch Fritters, 11 Unique Tacos and Crazy Good Cocktails are just a of the great options that will have you running back to this place.

Get the nachos and share with friends if you come with a group--so much deliciousness! The key lime coconut punch is also good if you like adult beverages.
Ted RoehmFebruary 13, 2018
Travel a bit outside of the tourist area for this gem. Try their very unique spin on some Caribbean tacos. Oh and the Painkiller...
Ashlee MacPheeOctober 28, 2013
Excellent food. I highly recommend the rum Bloody Mary. Also try the max and cheese and the jerk roti with the Trinidad curry. I'll definitely go back here next trip to New Orleans.
Luke BeebeMay 5, 2014
Great tacos.... My suggestions are pictured: Calypso beef, chili shrimp, jerk chicken, Carolina pulled pork, beef empanada, and jalapeño coleslaw.
Myla MartinMarch 26, 2016
The tacos! Everything I've ever ate there was delicious. The crab melt & the Trinidad chicken roti are my faves. Great service & the food is worth the price!

The sweet tater fries are to die for. I also had their Caribbean jerk tacos with coconut mango rice. Both good!
Dannielle MJanuary 22, 2015
This place is a must! Damn good nachos are just that and could feed at least 3. We also had the Carolina taco & jerk chicken taco- both were delish!

Great spot for tacos, surprisingly fire salads, good vibe if you’re looking to chat with friends and watch the game - bathrooms could use an upgrade
HeidiAugust 6, 2014
It's always crowded and a pain to park... But it's worth it! Great deals on the tacos which are inventive and delicious. Love the decor and atmosphere.
Rachel HigginsMarch 1, 2013
Get the nachos! So delicious! But beware: they're huge. Enough to split between 2 for dinner or 6 for an appetizer! Carolina Beef tacos and the polenta are my favorite!
Michelle AndersonOctober 7, 2015
Eat the jerk chicken taco and thank me later. Their papaya habanero hot sauce is bonkers good.
SarahNovember 29, 2021
So good! Try the jerk chicken taco, beans and chorizo, and Mac and cheese! The key lime rum punch was delicious too!
Stacy WheelerJuly 7, 2018
The brisket taco and the everyone calls you a jerk taco were to die for. Sam L. Jackson also came in for dinner while we were there.
KenJuly 22, 2012
Mr. Biggs Plate: A taco sampling for a boss! Plus, free Jamaican Meat Pie. Pair it with a beer on tap and revel in a cool island breeze while sitting outside!
Naomia AlbertFebruary 22, 2016
The tea is fresh and amazingly good! The food...? Well look at the picture! AMAZING TACOS
Ashley BurrisJuly 17, 2014
Chopped shrimp and calypso beef tacos are to die for! The damn good nachos are huge and super yummy and the Margaritas are strong!
Gary OpasDecember 31, 2013
Their tacos are to die for. I got the lamb vindaloo, chili glazed shrimp and fried oyster tacos with the ancho mashed potatoes. Yum!
Tim SummersFebruary 4, 2015
A hip eclectic Taco Tuesday ='s 4 tacos and 3 beer's for $15... Super chill but crowded spot that deserves a stop by.
Tina Blanchard SmithJanuary 16, 2014
It was the best food thus far living here in the past year ... The rum list from around the world amazing...my favorite spot

I've had nothing bad here: nachos, tacos, sandwiches all great! Get the mac & cheese or black beans w/ chorizo relish and sour cream as a side, you won't be sorry.
Josh RosenbergMarch 25, 2017
The tacos are amazing, and the "Damn Good" Nachos are, for lack of a better description, Damn good!

Alergic to garlic, staff & kitchen created me a great dish. Thank you, will be back everytime I am in town!

Whatever you get, make sure it includes the Carolina taco and the mashed potatoes
Michael EadesOctober 6, 2014
Pro Tip: Any of the tacos can be made vegetarian- they're happy to sub Rasta Veggies to any configuration!
Hotel IndigoAugust 19, 2013
A twist on the piña colada, the Painkiller is just what the witchdoctor ordered. Dare to be dangerous and order the Rum Punch or play it safe with a raspberry margarita.

Tuna ceviche tacos are amazing! Also try the Damn Good Nachos with calypso beef instead of pork.
Rachel BosworthNovember 19, 2011
The combo specials are so worth it! 2 tacos and 2 hefty servings of sides for $11. Great deal and great food. Fried oyster taco is yum!
Jenny NApril 15, 2013
The salads are exceptionally tasty and filling--also the only substantial greens I saw the entire weekend i was in NoLa!
Lewis WalkerMay 11, 2013
Oh god. Everything is good. I'm usually not big on frozen drinks, but GET A PAINKILLER!!! It was THE best one Ive ever had.
Constantin WApril 4, 2019

Happy hour 3-6:30pm on weekdays: $2 beer $4 margaritas & sangrias $5 rum punch, painkillers, & mojitos. Can't get enough of the rum house punch!
Brittany FredericJanuary 28, 2014
Cool restaurant, apparently famous people like it. Get the painkiller drink (stellar) and the nachos. Yum!

The trifecta is a good deal. Calypso and Brisket are my fav. The jerk chicken is pretty good too.
Jess JeromeMay 1, 2016

You cannot go wrong here. Start with the Ceviche Tacos. I had the Crab Melt but want to try every single item on the menu.
Jodie LynnMay 26, 2013
Small rum house salad w/seared tuns, add avocado.... So very satisfied!! Add uptown girl margarita, hardly a cheat meal! ;)
Marissa MulhallMarch 31, 2016
