You don't always have to wait for taco Tuesday to chow down on mouthwatering tacos at a Mexican restaurant in New Orleans. While there are plenty of places you can go, Panchita's Mexican Criolla Cuisine on Carrollton Ave. is a tiny spot that serves delicious south-of-the-border food made with fresh ingredients.
Some of our favorite local restaurants are the small, hole-in-the-wall type of places. Panchita's Mexican Criolla Cuisine definitely falls into that category.
This quaint Mexican eatery is quite charming inside with its painted walls and Mexican decor. While eating inside is always an option, customers like to dine out on the sidewalk on warm, sunny days.
Breakfast is served all day here! With its incredible selection of huevos dishes, it will be the best meal of the day.
And while breakfast is always a good idea, so are tacos, burritos, enchiladas, fajitas, and all the other delicious Mexican dishes available on the menu.
It's taco day every day here at Panchita's! If you're having trouble choosing from all the options, order the Taco Suaves. This plate is served with three soft tacos of your choice of al pastor, carnitas, asada, barbacoa, pollo, suadero, lengua, chorizo, shrimp, or fish. Rice and beans are served on the side.
The portions are quite sizeable especially if you order one of the combination dishes. Pictured here is the Tapiquena dish with steak, entomatada, rice, beans, French fries, fried plantain, and salad.
Of course, there are plenty of refreshing beverages available to complement your meal from agua frescas to Mexican soft drinks, beer, wine, sangria, micheladas, margaritas, and Coronitas.
