Tacos And Beer

Cold food, terrible service, loud music. $ 1 tacos, but debating if they were worth that.

We in on vacation and saw there specials, beyond the great deals and absolutely terrific food, wonderful people who went out of their way to show us how New Orleans people should be. What a great place!!!
Those tacos are to die for and the unbelievable kindness by the manager and staff was remarkable, thank you.

Really delicious queso here! So yummy! This is a great place to go when there isn’t much of a crowd. When it is busy the crowd here is pretty terrible but when it’s slow it’s such a different experience. Plus there are certain days they have specials on beers.

This place was so good! Huge Chimichanga that they call the Chimi-​Chingon. I don’t eat meat and they were able to just add more beans and rice to it and it was phenomenal. Really good frozen margaritas (better than Juan’s imo), and the cheese dip and salsa were really good too! We came on a Monday night and they had a two-​piece band playing out front that were really good. I highly recommend this place.

Love love LOVE this place! I have ate here several times and every time is has been superb! Margaritas are good and strong. I had chimichanga with chicken and it was delicious. A friend sof mine has the shrimp tacos and the giant burrito with barbacoa and it was the best thing I’ve ever had! The name doesn’t sound to appealing or catchy but consider this place a hidden gem!!!

They make the most amazing drinks here. Must order drinks Michelada and Paloma from bartender Chris. Definitely worth the stop. Really nice people here. Tacos look amazing!

Went on a Tuesday for the $ 1 tacos and my first thought upon seeing my order was that I was being ripped off! Smallest taco ever with not much going on inside.
I didn’t finish my house margarita either and it was a small one. Sweet and icky.
Supposedly they have happy hour from 3 — 6, Monday to Friday but all of that is void on Taco Tuesday when regular tacos are $ 1all day.

Service was good. Happy hour prices were great. Draft 3 dollars. Tacos a dollar fish taco two dollars. All was really good. The only bad thing. Grimy around the edges. I would return for happy hour.

I ordered the «Big Ass Burrito», the wife ordered the tacos of barbacoa, carnitas and al pastor. Tacos were pretty good and reasonably priced, would get them again. The hot sauce was flavorful and a good addition to the tacos. The Big Ass Ripoff, I mean burrito, was disappointing. This is the perfect burrito to share with vegetarians because only a small section includes meat. I felt like Indiana Jones searching for lost «treasure.» Just an overpriced bean and rice burrito.

On a Tuesday, after a pedicure with two fellow Unilocal-​ers, we were undecided what to do next, and one suggested this place since it was right around the corner. Let me tell you, this was no mistake. Based on previous reviews and word from the friend, I knew what to expect. Good thing they had a deal on Taco Tuesday. The drinks other tables ordered all looked pretty darn good. I tried the steak, chicken, sausage and one other taco. Oh. My. Goodness. They were small but filling. One of the gals beau came and joined us, he had a HUGE HUGE HUGE burrito. Amazing.
The restaurant itself is neat and clean, has regular tables, a few high top tables and the bar. The patio would be awesome on nice days. The server was friendly and efficient. It would be nice to have chips and salsa, at least the first round free, but hey, the tacos were delicious.
Being on St Charles, parking is limited, but direct access to the street car in front, and I am sure during Mardi Gras, a person might have to keep an eye on that bill to ensure correct charges are being made, but this is right on the parade route, so there is the convenance for that.
I have found a new place to go when I am in the area, and I am so happy to have been introduced to it, because when it comes down to it, its the simple things in life that matter. Like tacos and beer.

Pretty solid Taco Tuesday specials! All meat tacos are $ 1 each. Los Angeles-​style, just a teeny corn tortilla with meat. I tried the chicken, carne asada, carnitas, chorizo, and one other and, while I am not sophisticated enough to remember the nuances of each flavor a couple days later, they were all tasty. So I had 5 lil tacos which filled me up well and my meal was $ 5. The menu items looked reasonably priced considering the location, right on St. Charles Ave where I assume the rents for such a big space and beautiful porch are pri-​mo.
Speaking of porch, I hope to go again soon and enjoy said porch and some sun. Sunny porch + beer + tacos = I THINK I’VE DISCOVERED HEAVEN Y’ALL HOLD UP
We all enjoyed the service, our server was friendly and efficient. Food came out pretty quickly so nobody had to get hurt by my hangry!
I wish they would bring you some chips to nom on while you wait and get the juices flowing; but I understand in theory why they don’t (wouldn’t want people coming and noming chips for an hour and not buying food, right?). Greedy and inconsiderate people are the reason the rest of us can’t have nice things.

This place is shitty. Idk why I’ve been here three times. Oh yeah… Keep falling for the Groupon. They have cheap I think 1 $ tacos on Tuesday. Monday half off drafts. Be careful they’ve added extra to mines and a friend of mines bill by padding the tip.

Went for taco Tuesday as usual. I was there early, around 5:30. My waitress was so unbelievably rude. I asked her for hot sauce and she haughtily replied that she was only one person and she wouldn’t be able to find me any.
Minutes later she threw some tacos in my direction and I had to ask another server to get some lime and salsa.
I then mentioned to a manager that her service was totally out of whack.
As I was leaving the heckled me about my previously good review. YIKES.

To end our lazy weekend in, we decide to have a lazy dinner out by eating at a place that was recommended by a good friend of mine. She has great taste so I was excited about trying this place and I’m so glad we did!
Located conveniently on St Charles Ave is Tacos and Beer, a relaxed atmosphere with several TVs around, an open bar, with both in and outdoor seating. It is the perfect place to take a load off and relax in the afternoon/​night. Being on St Charles Ave though, finding parking may be tricky unless you are okay with parking down a side street and walking a bit. We were lucky enough to get a park right in front.
Sitting inside or outside, you choose your seat and not too much later, a waiter will come up and offer you menus. The menu is pretty big in terms of what to eat and what to drink. I decided on the Big Ass Burrito with Chorizo as my chosen meat (there are over 10 meats to choose from) with the Chambord Swirl as a drink. Both came out pretty quick to our surprise as the place was somewhat busy.
Firstly, the drink. The Chambord Swirl was much more alcoholic than I had anticipated. Now this isn’t necessarily a bad thing but I was unaware of how much alcohol was actually in it. One drink and my head already started to feel the effects. A lot of alcohol or I’m a light weight? You decide but it may have been good to get a bit of a warning on the alcoholic content. Either way, it was delicious and for a small sizing, it was a great amount!
Onto the food next. Oh my god. So the name is the Big Ass Burrito so I expected it to be big but holy moly, this thing was HUGE. Longer than a foot and at least five fingers wide (average adult male fingers). I didn’t actually finish it but it’ll be lunch later. Any who, it tasted great. With a mix of rice, chorizo, guacamole, tomatoes, and other goodness wrapped up in a hot tortilla, it was a great mix of Mexican.
Overall, I spent about $ 20 and it was totally worth it. Great place, great service, and fantastic food and drinks. Very much so recommended!

It pains me to have to write this… I recently went to Tacos and Beer for a meal with my fiancé. We ordered two sets of their 12 tacos for $ 19.99 (unfortunately, it wasn’t taco Tuesday). I had a margarita with strawberry swirled in, and the beaux had a Pacifico. The food was fine, but the service was lacking. What made things worse was that when the bill came, it was about $ 10 more than what I’d expected ($ 76 dollars!). I was like, «Wait a minute!» Then, I remembered why my fiancé didn’t like coming here all the time — he felt like Tacos and Beer was too expensive. Clearly, I didn’t share that sentiment until I noticed the bill this time as he was paying. I told him to stop, because there had to have been a mistake. So, I went up to the cash register and asked to see the itemized receipt. On it, I found an additional charge of $ 10.80, which was listed as «18% Gratuity…» Basically, they included 18% gratuity for me and my fiancé, and if we didn’t investigate, we would have payed $ 90 for our originally $ 64 bill, the equivalent of a 40% tip! I realized then, that this must be why my fiancé thought Tacos and Beer was an expensive restaurant. I just felt like this type of billing was dishonest, and I didn’t appreciate it. I also didn’t appreciate the ATTITUDE the waitress gave me for trying to clear this up… She had the nerve to act like I was being cheap! I can understand if we were a party of 6, or something like that, but we were a party of 2, who definitely didn’t expect gratuity to be included in our bill. I’d be wary of any establishment that does this and doesn’t explicitly share that information with customers. They’ve been getting off with 40% tips by taking advantage of good customers. If you eat here, I’d be sure to check and double check my receipt, or just go against your previous norm and DON’T tip here, since everyone else who does unknowingly pays for their food and a half.

This review is only on food, as we decided to order take-​out… After reading other reviews, I’m glad that I at least saved myself from crappy service.
Unfortunately we’ve got a bunch of over priced crappy «Mexican» food in front of us. Actually, it’s so bad that food probably should’ve been in quotes. First, we sat down to discover the order was wrong. Then we discovered it was flavorless. It’s greasy. The meat is fatty and chewy. Seriously, the cats wouldn’t even eat it. It’s bad stuff. Furthermore, I didn’t even get half way through before my stomach started making scary noises. Seriously the worst food I’ve had in this city. This place makes Taco Bell seem like a legit restaurant.

It took me forever to find a place that I felt I had anything resembling a street taco. Visiting this place on a Taco Tuesday was like being back in California — and no wonder it felt so familiar — the owner happens to be from my home state!
I’ve tried the sopes, the chips with queso, every type of taco on the menu, the salsas, and (of course) the beer. My absolute favorites are the lengua tacos and the carnitas tacos. I came back to town this weekend for a special event, and I couldn’t pass up an opportunity to pick up tacos and queso.
The lengua is super tender, flavorful, and the tacos are garnished with just the right amount of raw onion and cilantro. I ordered these to go, and they were done quickly, and they were nice and hot. The carnitas have a little bit of that crust, a teeny bit of salt, and a savory flavor coming through.
The queso has a hint of chili, it’s smooth, and it’s addictive. I will say that I wish the chips were a little thinner, but they are fresh and crispy. Definitely check them out on a Tuesday for the discounted prices (but the portions don’t change at all!) — it can be pretty lively on those days, so expect a wait.
See pics!

Service is always terrible. You have to chase down your server or ask another server to put in your order. Sometimes you have to tell your server your order twice before they put it in. Always check your bill, because they make mistakes.
They serve street style tacos & they’re amazing! The salsa is okay, nothing really special about it. I prefer the chips alone. A side order of fries are always bomb! Not too crispy, but not too soft. Just the way I like it! We’ve had the ceviche and it’s hit or miss. Sometimes it’s the bomb, but other times it wasn’t worth it.
The brisket, steak, & fish tacos are my favorite! My boyfriend loves the beef tongue. The chicken & carnita are very dry. The chorizo is good, but not great. You can get full off of 2 – 3 tacos which is great!
The atmosphere is always fun and the food is great! Besides the terrible service, it’s a great place!

On Tuesdays we usually go for the $ 1 tacos which aren’t too bad. I only get the mushroom tacos which are ok most of the time. One round might have plenty mushrooms and the next order might be all onions with 1 or 2 mushrooms. Be aware though the waiters try to add a little extra for themselves on the ticket so make sure to check your bill before just paying without looking like I tend to do. More than one waiter did that so be are they don’t add random charges on your bill. Other than them being crazy busy and very inattentive I guess you can’t complain too much about $ 1 tacos.

Yoga pants. Ok now that that is out of the way, the food here is good. The name conjurs up drunk frat boys and woo girls but I didnt see that at all. I did see a nice selection of beers.
The wait staff seemed a little stressed even though there wasnt a huge crowd. They were not unattentive, just looked like they could of used another person to help. If the outside porch was full of patrons, I imagine it would be a very long wait.
The portions are huge! I suggest splitting a entrée and getting one app so you can avoid leaving with a food baby like I did. The chili relleno was really good and thye actually used barbacoa that I asked for. It was the real deal. I was enjoying it. My better half had the chimi. It was big and dense. That is a splittable item. My food wasnt :-)
The food once ordered came out quick and correct.
We will definitely hit this place up again. Maybe when we are down the street at Avenue Pub and need some grub
