Las Cazuelas Grill

I don’t think it’s Las Cazuelas. I think it’s me. I think I just enjoy more fine/​fancy ingredients. Maybe I am. bougie.
I had the sampler platter. The only thing I really enjoyed was the beef chimichanga. I didn’t like the refried beans. The chicken quesadilla was bland. I just didn’t enjoy my food.
Manfriend ordered the steak, shrimp, & chicken fajita. I sampled it and felt I tasted better elsewhere. He finished the entire meal.

We stopped here for dinner one evening. It was not very crowded. I rated it 3 stars b/​c it’s OK tex-​mex food– not phenomenal, but acceptable. The salsa was a tad bland and had a tiny hint of sort-​of canned tomato taste. The guacamole was so smooth, I felt it was from one of those packages you can get from the store. But it had other things added, such as onions and tasted good. I had enchiladas (red) — you really can’t go wrong with that dish. I noticed cheddar cheese in the mix, and that is one way to tell if a place has authentic Mexican food, b/​c cheddar is not used in Mexico. Someone else ordered the bistec ranchero and ate it all and said it was good, including the beans and rice. The service was OK– the server barely checked on us but we did not need anything. The portions were good and the prices were fair. So, it’s a nice choice for tex-​mex on the westbank. I’ve been to 1 or 2 other places that I think are better, but I’ve been to 3 or more that are not even in the running.

This was my first time eating here and it will be my last. The service was excellent but the food tasted like frozen food the chips were not fresh and the salsa tasted like it was out of the can. Very disappointing. But the service was good if that counts for anything

It’s the little things that go a long way. This is the first time I had a water at a restaurant and the waitress asked if I wanted a to go cup at the end of my meal. As soon as I came back from the bathroom and saw the the ample amount of salsa and chips on the table I knew I was in for a treat. Since I’m trying to eat somewhat healthy I had the salmon which was recommended by my wonderful waitress and it did not disappoint. Some of the best if ever had actually. The guacamole salad, Mexican rice and soup as sides where equally as awesome. This is the best Mexican in the GNO area for sure. And the place has a awesome bar I will definitely try out next time here. People in New Orleans need to come to the Wank for some genuine Mexican food bc this place is the bomb.

The Mole looked a lot better than it tasted. Not sweet and absolutely no spice… Not what I was looking for

We have become regulars here, finding it the best «Tex-​Mex» /​Norteno place in GNO.
Good parking lot, selection of coldbeer, full bar, ginormous menu w/​all usuals.
I like large shrimp cocktail, carne asada, & carnitas de puerco fritas.
Salsa is too bland.
Live music on occasion.
Try it !

We were on a trip to New Orleans for a few days. After taking a swamp tour we were hungry and we found this little place by looking on Unilocal.The service was great and the food was really yummy! My daughter and I shared fajitas, her friend ordered an enchilada and my mom got the quickie nachos. Everything was great. We then split a deep-​fried ice cream. It was huge and is only $ 3.25!
This place was a great find!

The food and drinks are always amazing I’m always ready to go eat at this place at anytime! I can’t wait to go back! This place is definitely a must for Mexican food!

Not bad food for New Orleans area. I got pretty spoiled growing up in Texas and had a great tex mex rest. on every corner. But this place was decently priced, not bad free chips and salsa. Which is common in Texas and a staple you can count on. Food was decent. Service was good. Good Margaritas and beer on tap were 2 for 1. Only a few outdoor seats but it’s nothing special anyway. And the décor inside was a little cheesy. But still quirky of a budget Mexican rest. All in all I would go here again.

Love this place. It has great prices and they really don’t hold back on the portions. Enough for a second meal! I got two shrimp tacos with corn tortillas with a side of the Mexican rice and the refried beans. The service is also always great. Quality food and quality service! Definitely adding this place to my frequent visits for my Mexican fix.

The guacamole was grey, the salsa was flavorless, the food was gummy and my wife and I ended up with a $ 41 lunch that neither one us enjoyed.
Our server was great: friendly, prompt and very helpful, she should probably be doing the cooking. It was the worst Mexican food I’ve had in a long time.

Great good and usually awesome service! We go here probably at least 3xs a month. The sangria margaritas are delicious and U can’t beat when they offer a special, 2 for $ 6! Service can be a little slow at times, but hey just have another margarita!

Take Out order went smoothly:
1 Small Cheese Dip
L7 Chili Con Carne
L18 Fajitas, Shrimp with black beans and Mexican style corn (no tomato/​pico/​guac)
Order was perfect, except in my enthusiasm to be precise I confused the person who took the order and they put down that I wanted corn tortillas instead of flour ones. When I arrived, I reviewed the order and noticed the mistake on the receipt and the hostess immediately addressed it with the kitchen. Food was exactly as ordered. Cheese dip was fabulous, chips were fresh, there were 16(!!!) shrimp with my fajita order, and the only complaint was from my guy who said he probably wouldn’t order the L7 again because he didn’t realize it came with a burrito and thought the burrito was strange. He loved the rest of the meal — rice, steak, cheese.

Food was so good and plentiful! I had leftovers to eat 2 more times. The drinks are great as well. I had a pineapple Mojito and came back for another since it was so good. I’ll be back Soon.

My husband and I have been here a few times, and have really enjoyed our experience every time. The servers are friendly and attentive, and the food always tastes very fresh and delicious. Being from Texas, I’ve been let down by every other «Mexican» and «Tex Mex» restaurant we’ve been to in this area (Cheddar cheese ain’t Tex Mex!), and was hesitant when we tried this place out, but was plesantly surprised on our first visit. This place is spot on with both their Tex Mex and authentic Mexican dishes.
On our first visit, I had the pork carnitas, which were amazing, flavorful, tender, and juicy. I had it with their chicken soup (surprisingly cheesy, but tasty) and guacamole salad. The next time, I had the huevos chorizo. The eggs were a little dry, but the chorizo is so rich in flavor and fatty, it made up for it, and was especially delicious with some of their shockingly green habanero sauce. I had guacamole salad (I have it every time, I’m a fit girl, I need my non starchy veg!) and borracho beans, which was quite tasty. My last meal before today was their chicken ranchero with a double portion of salad. That’s the only meal I wasn’t fond of, because, while the meat was well seasoned, it was drowning in cheese, which was too much for me. This evening, I had the chicken fajita taco salad (minus cheese and sour cream, and I left the taco bowl behind). The meat and veggies were perfectly sautéed and seasoned, the guacamole added the right amount of richness, and the salsa from the table (Judging by the irregular cut onion, I think it’s homemade!) added some needed brightness. Overall, it was an excellent salad! My husband has gotten various combination plates, and has thuroughly enjoyed them all. The portions of all of their meals are generous, they don’t skimp on meat, and everyhing is well seasoned! The dessert portions are excellent, as well! My husband and son have split an order of sopapillas (6), with a couple leftovers, and the man ordered churros on an afternoon date while our son was at school, and brought home 2 out of the three large churros that came in the order!
The prices are great, portions are large, staff is friendly, and the food is delicious and what I expect when I go out for Tex Mex/​Mexican!

The bf and I have eaten here several times. The menu is large, mostly because they’re suggesting a variety of combinations of their staples rather than offering a la carte. Salsa is good; chips generally aren’t greasy. Refried beans aren’t anything to write home about, but provide good texture when combined with the queso dip. My bf likes the enchiladas; I like the shredded chicken in the quesadillas and taco salad.
This isn’t a WOW place for me, but it’s good enough to be on the rotation of places that we hit up on lazy don’t-feel-like-cooking nights.

Great true Mexican place! The food comes out quick and we inhaled it! I have nothing negative to say about it

The west bank is known for having the best Vietnamese food in the metro area. I don’t think I would be stretching the truth to claim that they also have some of the best Mexican food. I’m not talking super fancy Mexican food, but good, casual places that offer great value. This is one such restaurant.
The restaurant and parking area are very large. Inside the restaurant is very open and I wasn’t a big fan of the layout. It seemed like there was no privacy at the tables in the center of the room, and if you sat there you would be on display for your fellow diners. I did like the booths along the walls as they seem more private and comfortable.
The food is traditional Mexican or Tex-​Mex fare. I am not sure how authentic it is since I have never officially been to Mexico, but it was very good. All of the items I have tried have been fresh and tasted great. They were also incredibly cheap which makes for a happy wallet when the check comes.
If you’re on the west bank and want good food at a great price, keep Las Cazuelas in your rotation.

If I had reviewed this restaurant after my first visit, I would have given them a 3. But they had just opened for the day and they had just opened period a few days before. The main dish was ok but the beans and soup were both cold. Turns out they had forgotten to turn on the element that morning. Ok. I can deal with that.
Since that first visit, we have been back 3 times. The second and third time was because the Girly is a Mexican food junky and we have had a hard time finding a place we can both stomach.
The fourth time, it was me asking to go. I was jonesing for their fried chimichanga. It’s really good. Well balanced and not too salty. Served with avocado salad and 2 sides and it’s a big meal.
The girly usually orders beef tacos, simple and easy and not very flashy. But that’s what she liked.
This last time, she ordered the chicken quesadilla (Knock it off, Napoleon! Make yourself a dang Case a dilla!)
It was fantastic, GOSH! No seriously. Just like my chimichanga, it was perfectly seasoned.
The customer service is usually spot-​on (Might want to avoid the kid with the faux-​hawk though. He’s not too attentive) and the place is always sparkling clean.
Oh. And if you don’t want the booze but want something different, they make a great Horchata.
I’m so happy it made it past the third time rule. I hate that damned rule.

This is a really new Mexican place on the Westbank, and as far as Westbank Mexican places (there are a bunch) this one measures up nicely, but I wasn’t blown away.
I stopped in here for lunch. First of all, I love the open air space and there are tons of seating. I can see how this would probably be a cool hangout for Cinco de Mayo and a good spot to eat dinner if you have a big group of people.
The menu is packed with everything you could want including Mexican inspired pasta dishes and hamburgers. I decided to keep it pretty simple with a chicken quesadilla that came with a side of re-​fried beans and rice. The quesadilla was good. The chicken was grilled nicely and was spiced for flavor. The same couldn’t be said for the rice and beans. They were just super bland and I would have liked it if they had had a little more «kick» to them. All in all the meal wasn’t earth stopping, but it was pretty good for a lunch.
Our waitress was really nice and attentive and was good at making sure that we were happy and had everything that we needed. Would I go back? Sure, but there are better choices for Mexican on the Westbank. I’ll probably return in a few months after they have hit their stride.
