Munchies

Drove by many times, finally was convinced by my hubby to stop in. Boy am I glad he did! I ordered the Taco Salad, best I have had in a long time! Loaded with ground meat and tasty ground meat. The hubby got the steak tacos he really enjoyed his meal as well. Now the true test is the picky child, she ordered a side of rice and refried beans as well as chips with queso, well no complaints from her, she actually asked to go back the next day! I have to say the queso was pretty tasty as well!

I passed this place up all the time because its all suspicious looking. Until one day, I was in Breaux Mart, buying taco shells for my bomb ass chicken tacos I was making later that night, when my cashier told me how Munchies had some massive burritos and they were delicious. My BF was hungry and decided we go check it out since they were better than the other taco place in Chalmette.
We went inside & it’s totally not how you’d imagine it from passing by. It’s definitely cozy. We ordered something light to split. Two beef tacos dressed to order. The tacos were literally annihilated in 2 minutes !! Glad we made that tiny pit stop.
Now the problem is, my chicken taco couldn’t cure the Mexican craving and all the BF talked about the next day is how great Munchies is. I’m not mad though because I am craving for some too !

I’m a Munchies fan!
I’ll tell you… at first I was a tad skeptical. Their sign always made me feel like it wasn’t gonna be the best of places.
But then you go inside, and you immediately feel so welcomed. The owner’s sons are behind the counter. Very nice people, really awesome.
I always strike up conversation. And I left my business card and won a free lunch!
Their food is awesome. I never know what to order because I feel like some of everything!
Their burritos are VERY generously packed. You don’t get a skimpy little burrito with a surcharge for extra stuffings.
Everything is very largely and generally portioned, in a nation where portions keep getting smaller and smaller. This generosity definitely costs them more, but keeps people coming back for more!
I think my favorite menu item goes to a Taco Dog though.
Awesome Hebrew National Hot Dog, in a nice roll. With everything you love in a taco on top!
All-​In-​All, a great place!
Always get a good conversation while waiting for your food (which isn’t a long wait at all!), they are very very very very very welcoming and nice people! I always enjoy going. And ever since they absorbed the Willy D’s custard shop that was next door… You can always get a good shake or malt too. An added bonus to an otherwise Mexican food restaurant!
VERY HIGHLY recommended!
Thanks again guys! Keep it up!

Munchies is a regular in my lunch rotation.
The food is delicious, and the portions are immense. For burritos, tacos, nachos, and the like, they offer ground beef, steak, carnitas, and chicken. I’ve tried all but the chicken and recommend them all. The beef is still my favorite.
Each item is hand made to order, and you can select what goes with the meat – pico de gallo, salsa, olives, guacamole, cheese etc. The fixin’s are all very good quality.
Munchies also offers frozen custard (since the demise of their late neighbor, Cadillac Custards), which you can have straight, in a malt, milkshake, sundae, or concrete, which is custard mixed with stuff and served super thick.

This Mom & Pop version of a Chipotle is Bad-​ass and totally awesome! They don’t really have Chipotles in LA, but this was even better cuz it is made by hand and with love!
We ate here 2x while I was in town! The first time I had a ground beef burrito — it was MASSIVE! The biggest to date! Everything was fresh and delicious! Being a Cali girl in Louisiana, I was skeptical to try their version of Mexican foods! I was pleasantly surprised to say that it was tasty and really really delicious! Their refried beans were good, and not can tasting! Their rice was super flavorful and very good! They got a good couple of salsa’s but their corn salsa is where its at! Not to red onion’y and just very well executed!
The 2^nd time I ate there, I decided to have the taco salad. The chicken was very moist and tasted yummy! The salad was fresh and crispy and very green, their black beans are OK, nothing to brag about, but the salad came out really good, and you get a massive amount of food, for what little you are paying!
The guys that run the joint, are super cool, personable and nice. I found out he was originally from Texas, and he owns the place with his family. Its weird cuz they cook and sell Mexican food and Hot Dogs and then they got a frozen custard side to the shop. Frozen custard, what is that you say? Just pretty much one of the best frozen treats Ive ever tasted! I only had a spoonful of it, cuz once you eat there, there is really no room for dessert!
Its very very clean and the boys that work there are in tip top when it comes to service! So props to Munchies for having awesome munchies and super good Mexican food alllllll the way in Louisiana!

If you’re like my buddy Charles who likes a good ¼ wiener then you’ll love munchies. I give these guys a freaking 5. I had a slaw dog and just ordered a second. I love creativity in food and these guys get creative. It’s delicious, the environment is really basic and chill, the staff is friendly and looking to make sure you enjoy your experience at Munchies. Definitely visit if you like hot dogs or Mexican food or mix of both cause they do that too. Loved it
